I slept upon BGH's plank last LAN, for such a hard bit of wood it was quite comfy tbh ...

Can I reserve the same slot again please BGH, kthxbye

[Big Giant Head]

Wrong venue m8 sorry, had to leave my plank at bidford :)

[AcidIce]

how come you sleep outside at i-series then totty?

[Exegesis]

I WANNA SLEEP INDOORS TOO! They force me to sleep outdoors at work for weeks on end... So i think if i am going to be taking time off from work i should be allowed to enjoy the great indoors.

I should only sleep outside when its warm - like i16 and i17 last year :)

I had to sleep in my tent at i18 and in my car at i19 and it caused lots and lots of pain and stiffness for me, so I'm making sure I say my piece early this time :)

fair enough i spose :)

If you are going to be sleeping inside or outside, go to

www.freeyourfeet.co.uk

and look at the crashsacs and crashbeds - you'll be impressed.

Make your nights a little more comfy!

[Optimus]

wait, did someone just register to promote beds? :)

[Mamacita]

bit pricey but look quite nice

I think I'll wait for someone else to get one and then I shalt investigate

[carryoncamping]

I've got a crash bed and a crash sac and they are well cool.
Dead good material and all, will last a long time. Well worth the money without a doubt.

[Mamacita]

Is all the members of staff there gonna sign up to these forums? ;)

[Zakalwe]

And they come with a free N-GAGE!

Can we get an admin to lock/delete?

Reccomendations are welcome, but registering multiple accounts to astroturf is a bit out of order...

[Mingtea]

See they just don't make beds for the larger person.

"up to 6 ft"

****ers.

If I could make a recommendation along the "other products are available" line, BFC use £25 Argos ones. They have seen service in ~50 man-nights* of LAN usage and are still going strong.

Linkage (http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=1751&productId=95098&Trail=C$cip=12298>C$cip=12310>C$cip=12315&categoryId=12315)

* man-nights, one man for one night. Hmm. There's no non-dodgy way to say that. You get what I mean.

[tiSSue]

and being an argos customer services slave, ive yet to take one back !

Lol, it's a disappointing effort. They didn't even try and disguise it. One member is called "carryoncamping", self explanatory. The other is called "babybear". I follow the link and of course I see a load of bears on the main page and a list of top selling products such as "Be My Bear" and "BeddyBear".

They got the timing quite right, did a good job of finding the thread, fast response, etc. And the messages did pimp the product quite well. However, I'm afraid I'm only going to award them 2 out of 5 for astroturfing. If you can't be bothered to make up a name related to the community boards in some way in order to disguise your spam, you won't score very well.

/me hits astroturfers with a baseball bat

What have you learned?

[Afty]

And further reccomendations:

The blue and red ones from Argos are fine - the single is a tenner:
http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=1751&productId=95457

The double, only 15 quid.

one thing about those generic beds - they are very easy for someone to appropriate at an i-series, and it's pretty hard to prove it's yours. In the dark. At 4AM. While drunk.

[Afty]

Marker pen. It's not like you want to keep it mark-free at £9.95?

Just write "Afty" on it in a corner somewhere in black marker, and I will never go short for a bed again!

[Zakalwe]

Save your money, just buy a marker pen! Then you can label any bed you fancy...

[bvark]

i've always resorted to a more primitive form of marking my territory, but i'd only had the bed a day, so it probably wasn't detectable.

[Aardvark]

In my experience... unlikely.

[Ryvita]

I have an awfull image of Bvark prowling the German borders "marking his territory"...

<shudder>

[Zeuseh]

hmm its tempting but in my trek to sl19 i will be going on the train. So carying a big pump around with me will get me the stares, as if im a form of ghost buster.


Can i borrow sum1's pump?

[Mamacita]

Our's will be avaialble for anyone to use that wishes :) (with attchments and batteries :p)

[BugAlugs]

the upstairs areas should be there for you to sleep in again. BUT BE WARNED. there are no curtains, so you will all need plane style eye cover things.

[Mingtea]

Nothing better than Dawn waking you up.


(by sitting on your face)

[Say_Ten]

And telling you that she loves you?

I'm usually awake by 7:30 anyway ;p

[Mamacita]

life can be fine

[Devvy]

Dawn is there to be slept through, light or no light.

[AcidIce]

aye agreed, i slept through the huge storm in '87 as a baby, i can sleep through the odd bit of sunlight, despite how much it "burnses our precious" etc....
