Proper bo.
4 days with no clean clothes and I'm starting to smell like a hideous orangutan with no respect for its chimp neighbors.
Today is the last day at the festival. And I'm a bit peeved because Chris Cornell has canceled because the PUSSY has a cold or something. He's "ill" anyway - it's better be TB, Typhoid or a REAL man cold, or I'll be having words with the fucker.
I can't remember if I said the last time I wrote something (and I can't be bothered to read back on it right now as my time is yet again, running out), but my job has now come through and I've got all the papers to sign etc. Which is good... something to look forward to when I get home anyway... that and a nice, clean, super king size bed + possibly the best shower I'll ever have.
I've been a bit homesick for the last few days - the weather got a bit depressing and Laura and Gary got washed out. Both of them said they were going to get a hostel, so I was gonna go with them for a good shower, but they were both all talk and it all got very confusing etc.
I wore my boots one say and my feet swelled up like hell... I couldn't walk and we were at our mate Rick's apartment in Budapest. They got worse when I went to find a hostel with Gary, and we had to turn back cos he's a wuss and got scared ;P I ended up staying in the Marriot that night, for the pure reason that I couldn't walk back to the festival (and it was very close). The following night was spent in a Hostel about a million miles from anywhere
, under the impression that Gary would come with me, which he didn't. Grrr.
So, I wimped out for 2 nights, but was back in my tent last night. I saw Tool, a band which I've liked for a while, and they are officially the least conformist rock band I've ever seen. 4 of them on stage, no lighting on the front man (if you can call him that), each one of them had a screen behind them, and they didn't play a single song in 4/4. Good, but it seemed like they were trying too hard to be different from the standard rock outfit. The front man didn't say a word till before the very last song - and that was "Thank you, thank you. We hope to see you all again". They didn't do an encore, and didn't do much movement on stage. But shit... are they all talented bastards.
Right... Balaton, clean clothes and a shower tomorrow - until then, smell ya later :)

hot hot hot
yo blogsky fans
its the last day of the festival ( boooooo ) and the last night we have to camp ( wooooo hoooooo ). yesterday there wasnt really aything on band wise that we wanted to see so we spent the day in budapest so we could have a wash in a restaurant ( you know as you do ). when we were about to leave for the island tho the older folk in our party apart from ms sebÖk, said they were to tired to go for a drinksky cos the sun had been out for a whole three minutes and it just tok it out of them all. i therefore stayed in anthonys car to charge my phonesky up so i could phone some loved ones ( didnt take long ) and got the next boat where i was pleasently fortunate to meet some young ladies which is always nice. we chatted and i ended up staying out til 6 this morning drinking lots of beerskies and lots of coctails ( joking mum if your reading this). we even dabbled at a spot of rolerblading in one of the bars ( ouch!!!!) but it didnt hurt til this morning tho cos i was slightly numb last night.
tomorow we are heading to balaton, hopefully todays weather is going to stay with us for the next week so we can do a spot of sun bathing, as i hear thats all you can do, oh apart from watching out for wolves, that worries me a bit but hey there just dogs with nobody who loves them
adios amigos gonna post again in a couple of days

Rain, rain, go away....
Yes, it has been rather rainy these past few days. The first couple of days we were here it was unbelievably hot and humid, and then it started pissing it down. Unlike last time (I learned my lesson), I had a proper tent, but there are some among us who weren't so fortunate!
Anyways, just a quick blogski, we've been to see the Chemical Brotherski, Madnesszki, Razorlightski, The good bad the queeensky (miserable f*ckers) and lots of assorted other little bands, and a performance arts piece by some French Wierdos yesterday.
After worrying about finding somewhere secure to park the car while we were here, we decided to abandon it randomly in the town centre. We reckon if you can't read the signs, then they can't legally tow your car away. We shall see anyways.
We're halfway through the festival now, starting to get a little dirty and damp and bedraggled, but I'm enjoying it nontheless! Sebok (the moaning girl) went to sleep in the Mariott last night, and has gone to a hostel today, even though his tent is the nicest of all of ours! So me and Laura made good use of his double blow up bed last night (in a purely platonic way, of course ;-)
Anyways, that's it from me, we'll be in a nice clean hostel on Wednesday, so I will probably have a proper blog then.

Well, we're at sziget festival, and it poured down last night - Garry and Laura have been washed out of their tent, though AK, Bondy and I are all fine... not a drop of water in sight!
I have to apologise for my terrible grammar and spelling in the last post - I was in a bit of a rush and didn't read over it after I wrote it. Took me about 10 seconds to realise that I'd spelt Czech wrong :(
I must admit, I'm looking forward to getting home, having a nice shower and sleeping in my own bed. I forgot how crap camping is, and how annoying mosquito bites are :(
I haven't got long on this thing, and I need to check my email as I received a text yesterday saying that my new job position has come through and I need to fill in some forms and send them back, so all I need to do is complete the security check and I'm in. So... I'll be starting a little later that I wasw originaly told, but at least I have a job :) Though 1 month without wages is a little hard... credit card to the rescue :(
I think we're going to try and find a hostel today - and there's no way I'm letting Gary and Laura tell me how good the daily showers are, when I'm sat minging in my tent every night :P
Lots of love

freaky deaky dutch
helloski from bratislavaski
This is possibly the nicest place i have been so far on the trip. its very old styley and cheap there are also a couple of nuns wandering around. we have been arounthem but not us we have to be out byd the centre of bratislava today and i very nearly bought a were the f*** is bratislava t shirt which we thought was really funny as anthony said earlier.
We are actually in the hostel bar at the moment where we were earlier talking to two really nice aussie birds ( australian females) who are also going to sziget for the first time ( like me) and they have herd really good things about it like me. Unfortunately for them they have to get the train to budapest at 6 in the morning ( 5 gmt) which is slightly poo for them but unlike us we have to chech out ( cant really do the czech joke this time sorry) at 10 am or yes you guessed it anthony looses his 5 million slovakian dollar deposit ( 7 pence).
We are currently in conversation with three freaky deeky dutch geesers called flurdy, gurdy and dave who are really smashing blokeskies but they seem to be really nice guys part from the little racist remarks before the aussie birds left who we found are also going to sziget we found later on.
Any way flurdy and gurdy have gone to bedski now and dave is still talking to anthony and seebok so i am going to join them and have another martini and lemonade.
P.S Cheers for the comment bondski can't wait to see you tommorrow with norks.
Much love B Man

Hello all, we've made it to Bratislava ok, only a couple of hours of driving today. Although driving in a black car in this heat isn't the most brilliant of ideas, it must really hum by now.
Me and Gary spent last night in the hostel bar, once we realised the beer in there was 70p a pint - in the main square they were charging as much as 2.50 a pint! Attempted to use the table football table, but the electrics were beyond Sebok's capabilities to repair! So we got some matches from the bar and had a few games of heads up poker (of which I lost both ;-)
It's absolutely gorgeous here in Bratislava, sort of the same style as Prague, but a little more untouched and unspoilt. The hostel is the best one we've stayed in so far. Apart from the fact they originally thought they'd double booked us, and had a 'student houski' round the corner that they were going to put us in for a discount (student? I'm 26 goddamn it!). Anyways, they finally found us a room, which for the first time we are sharing with someone else. He's a cyclist who we reckon is Italian. But we haven't spoken to him yet. Because we're wimps. Oh, and I sat on my bed and it collapsed as well. That was quite embarrasing.
When we got here we went for a wander and had a 5-star meal at a restaurant in the main square of the old town, which was gorgeous. There was a church accross the road and mass was going on - the music coming out of it was wonderful! We also saw some t-shirts for sale in the square that said "Where the f*ck is Bratislava", which made us laugh! (It's here by the way) It was a gorgeous meal, but it's gone right through me, and the toilet paper over here is like a combination of corrugated cardboard and sand paper, which isn't really doing me any good. Hopefully it will have cleared up by the time we get to the festival tomorrow because there are just some things that you can't do in festival toilets ;-)
Anyways, gonna have a few drinkskis in the barski now! Speak soon.
