So Jons suggested beautiful day by U2.

I suggest " i think ive lost my headache" by Queens of the Stone age, plus any cheesy punk by SUM41 and all that feel good SKA punk from the likes of [spunge]. If that doesn't float ure boat then try the never failing cheer up tunes from Groove armada, lamb n aphex twin!

Shitknot tracks mat also cheer u up my making u laff so hard at their stoopid stoopid outfils....Power rangers with guitars!



Tips...

What are people oppinions on the best way to pitch n strike a tent that pitches inner first in the pi$$ing rain???

Bung it in a zip'n'seal - you know that Alex and I love them......

..for the micro-millionaires amongst us, use an Ortlieb case.

Which explains such outdoors expletives as:-

My Chargrin's all soggy again and I can't stop it pilling!

I have a multi-coloured Chargrin which matches my eye-liner and boxers!

That man wearing a Chargrin is being over-familiar with that tree and has a large tripod!

When I rob banks I pull my Chargrin up way too high - oooooh!

My Chargrin is sooooo retro it's almost cool!

My Chargrin is shaped like a small field mushroom and has a fragrance reminiscent of a yak's scrotum!


How many times have we heard those?!

Jeannie, under what circumstances exactly did you become acquainted with the fragrance of a yak's scrotum?

I've got so many suggestions, but unfortunately they all break the forum code of conduct.
