In this post, I am going to write about some of the stuff I had planned to write about, but never got chance. So, here goes.

Mighty Boosh Festival
Right…a music festival, hosted and run by a comedy act. Is that even possible? Well, The Mighty Boosh might be the only group with the capability to pull this stunt off. Rachael, Vikki and I woke up nice and early to catch a morning train. Buying breakfast at the station, and eating on the train we set off towards Tonbridge.

Despite a few threats, the weather managed to hold up, giving immense heat from the sun. Yes, this may have resulted in everyone sunbathing beforehand! There was a few hardcore fan who went the whole war, resulting in a few Tony Harrison heads wandering around. Rachael caused quite a stir with her Silver Wellies, so much so that people even started singing about them!

Robots in Disguise had a good crowd throughout the elecro-punk music . Someone I was speaking to (via tinterweb) said that Gary Numan seemed to remind him of Trent Reznor from Nine Inch Nails. Me not knowing this Trent guy, I wouldn’t know!

Har-Mar Superstar certainly intended to shock the crowd! He got right down to just his underwear at Rachael’s disgust. Luckily, Vikki and I went to watch Frankie Boyle at this time, so therefore missed the rather bad striptease.

Peaches also played a short DJ set, but the crowd really weren’t interested so close to the Boosh coming on stage. However one song did catch the attention of the crowd. I am not even going to put the title here, but contact me and I will let you know!

Now time for the Legends…The Boosh Band started with Future Sailor and Electo Boy. They had a fairly musical routine, with comedy acts as Old Gregg, The Funk, Bollo and Naboo came out. The moon made another appearance and sang his song, with a twist. Bob Fossil and Har Mar did a dance and rap off and other amazing acts.

In one word – AMAZING! Next time, I vow to take more money as everything is so pricey!

Pass Plus
On the same day as we got back from the Mighty Boosh Festival, I did my Pass Plus. For those of you who don’t know what Pass Plus is, it is a 6 hour course of lessons aimed at those who have passed their driving test. It covers motorways, town roads, country roads, adverse weather conditions, Night driving and Dual carriageways.

Well…it was certainly adverse weather conditons as on the first part, we had to slow right down to 30MPH on a motorway due to the speed of the rain. Finally the sun came out, and normal 70MPH resumed!

I extremely recommend it, maily because it knocked £300 off my insurance!

Work
Just to let you know why Blogging seems a bit side-tracked at the moment. During these holidays, I am working 7 days a week to raise enough money to spport me through University. I am continuing with my work at Tesco, but have a second job at West Sussex County Council. That is why posts seem a bit delayed.

I will write about the other stuff I have had planned soon. Honest!

Take Care…
