I'll make up some fliers with detailed instructions then forget to give them out again.


2PM by the zipline.

Do they let you on the Zipline with Buckfast? Or do you have to drink it before?

I have to get involved this year, Buckfast is an old lost friend to me.

Do they sell Bucky anywhere at BLOC?
Coming from Ireland but only taking hand-luggage so unless I sacrifice my toiletries for a litre of Buckfast spread amongst 10x100ml bottles I can't bring any!
Slightly off topic too but what's the price of booze once you're in, English "pub prices" in the bloc FAQ doesn't mean much to me :)

I would remortgage your house and sell your prized goat.

If my somewhat dubious memory serves me correctly, I think a pint was around the £3.20 marker last year... hence the reason to stock up on cider/buckfast/methylated spirits on route.

Coming from Ireland the drink is cheap enough. I didn't think it was as much as £3.20 for a pint but I suppose it depends on what pints and which pub you were drinking in.

Cheers guys, yeah around 3 quid works pretty well considering the exchange rate plus stocking up beforehand too. Def beats a fiver (and more sometimes) in Dublin anyway. Ha, buying you drinks? Well if you spot me in the crowds I'll shout ya one how's that :P
