Ow well done lads! I can see a name stickin on me also.... Wake Up Wendy!!! (bing! Wide awake)

Can you PLLEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEEE take those photos of me off your site as i look truely terrible. I'm gonna burn that bloody hat...!

I didn't actually speak to any of the crew, so none of you will know who i am, but I went to SG4 and I just wanted to say a huge thank you to all of the crew, who helped make this weekend the best weekend of my life. I now have so many cool memories, and its all thanx to you guys. it wouldn't have been possible without you. Cheers!

I'm Jimbo's bro and I second that. We r goin to the Rock City gig and would like to know what the chances are of gettin backstage? Do we hang around and sneak in or is there any way of gettin backstage passes? Cheers dudes.

Cheers guys for a great weekend...even though it looked like you were just drinking and partying Im sure you all worked dead hard to make it the best SG ever..sorry we didnt get our photo's taken for the site on the Sunday morning..we were looking far too rough to inflict that on anyone!...the photo's of everyone else look great though...hope to see you all at the next one...take care..

Is there any need for all those pics of me? You'll be putting everyone off their food xx

Hiya, I just thought I'd write and say hiya and thanks for a fantastic weekend. My sidesare still sore from all the laughing. Got my pics out yesterday and there's a couple of great ones of Disco Dave. That boy sure can dance but he's about as scary as a newborn kitten. See you all at Dublin and Belfast and Gor the legshaving offer is always open if you shange your mind.
Lots of love, Polly xx

Oh and thanks for the wine HHJJ it was fine indeed!

Just wanted to stop by to say hi and thanx for a great weekend. You are one of the biggest and best bunch of party animals I know. I had a fab time and just goes to prove that I am another lass to add to the list that can keep up with HHJJASAD. Oh just for the record I kept down my alcoholic beverage, no up chuckin for me... at anytime.

I hope the red wine was up to usual standards. I tried my best to choose a quality one given my very limited knowledge of red wine and the limited choice at the Londis shop in the middle of nowhere. Perhaps someone whould like to send me a list of prefered brands of alchoholic beverages in order that I may learn to fully satisfy the delicate desires of the pallet with out upsetting the stomach.

Hope to boogie with you all at the next one.

Have you sussed out these chatboards yet Merlin? If not email me. Love Wendy. xxx

Should be a few more after the weekend Dave.....

Just wanna say a BIG "hello" to all the crew! It was lovely to finally meet you all.... especially you HHJJ.... can't wait to see that pic!! HUGE thanks to Gordon for listening to my drunken banter... can't remember what I said now but I'm sure it was complete waffle!! GIGANTIC thanks to whoever it was that got me back to my tent safely.... I was sooooooo drunk that I can't remember who it was now.... sure it was a crew person tho'! What a brilliant weekend!!! See you all at SG5!!!!! xxxxx

Hope you all got home safely.

Shabba hows the headache??? What a mover !! Whats that particular style of dance called??? It looked really difficult to learn but we did all try to follow the steps.

Thanks for sharing your wine everyone, except Shabba who wouldn't let go of the bottle for some reason - I think he was thirsty.
It was great to party with the best crew hoons.

We'd like to say more but we're 'all sleepy'

Missing you already, night, night xxxxxxxx

Nice dancing lads!

oh yes, they CAN dance!! HHJJ, u r one hell of a brilliant dancer! it's so individual, yet cool!
and GARY, man can u dance! i was saying to someone over the weekend that when i am the same age as you, then damn, i'd like to be able to dance as well as you still are! haha! peace an' all!

One of the best weekends I've had for a long time - it was good to see band and crew enjoying themselves. Its just frustrating to get back to work and find no-one knows Coldplay or recognises "Yellow" when I sing it (ok, maybe that's my singing). And have they heard of Embrace? Perhaps I should move to Thailand.

Best of luck to the Brighton bus mob - thanx for saving a space for our luxurious tent. How did Will's exams go??

Bye for now... I'll carry on surfing with my mouth closed.

Ok..I just made a web page with most of my drawings of Embrace on it. I don't know why I decided to celebrate the fact that these drawings are horrible, but if you're curious..have a look and tell me what you think. Here's the adress: http://angelfire.lycos.com/journal/lectchair/embracemain.html
Don't be too harsh...

I love the one of them round the fire its fantastic, why can't i draw like that?

... the calm before the storm I suppose!

I'm always very calm Caroline, and any storms we now experiance over the coming weekend (ohmygodinourtents) are going to be ALL YOUR FAULT!!!

Oh dear.... was it something I said??

You should all thank your selves lucky!! My tent hasn't even dried out from reading yet and I have to crawl back in to it tomorrow night!! (I have a lovely squishy double air bed though!!)

I never have anything worthwhile to say...i just feel like leaving a message. Was nice chatting with you in Last Gas HHJJ...maybe i'll see you in there again..umm, that's about it..ok...goodbye

aw! It's lovely to see you on here Hevver!! Now I'm not on my own!!! LOL!!

Hey, i'd be on here alot more if i could think of anything to say..

Hi Hevver,

Nice chattin to you to. Maybe one day I'll make it to the US of A, you never know!

(Que the rest of the crew and the band telling me I'll never get there!)

yeah, you come over and we'll go find Geffen Records, and we'll stand out there protesting so they'll sign the band again...haha

... a quick "hello" to Mr Beever & HHJJ. Nice chatting to ya both in Last Gas yesterday. Seeya on the weekend, eh??

I think we should rename this message board to Caroline's Message Board!

See ya at Pilton, and SG#4!

LOL HHJJ!!!! Well either that or take me on board as one of the crew!!!! Hey... will this score me a pic on the snaps page??

Hi! Saw the pixs on "Claires Embrace page" and you were right, DEFINATELY....didn't see the one of the bandana tho'......sent you a mail so read it and you'll understand.....

I'm glad someone will understand........

It's not that confusing, is it?!? I just looked at a couple of pictures on "Claires Embrace page"....

Cheers Babe!!

Just wonderin'......

Shit!! The title is supposed to say ".....sca from Leeds and Reading?" Sorry!

Hopefully, Des is working on it now. Can't remember who elses turn it is. London crew got to bed very late/early this morning and had to get off the bus at 8.30 am!!! I for one went back to bed as soon as I got home and managed to drag myself out again at the crack of 2pm. What a glamorous life!

Abbiss should be doing Friday, Beeves is doing Saturday and Des'll be doing Sunday. And I've already done the Monday one at 11 O clock this morning!!

Hey Milky, I was down the pub with my sister and brother in law and niece at 2PM today. Allright, I fell asleeep on the sofa as soon as I got back from the pub, and I've only just woken up and it's now gone 8PM!

What a glamorous life indeed!

Oi, Abbiss, where's your's then?? 10PM Monday night and everyone's else's diary entry is up. Even Des's and he hasn't even got a computer!

Seek and ye shall find

My Computer.

I'm round at Mickey Campari's at the moment. I am fixing his fireplace. Square peg round hole type situation, Be okay we have a big hammer!
I do have a computer. Unfortunately, it's in my neighbour's house. I have to wait till they go out to use it, as the elder of the tribe is a PC, that is a Police Constable. He is very security minded so it's quite a challenge entering the premises. He also has a big black dog.

Yes you can be Bridesmaids, but you'll have to pay for your own plane fair. I'm NOT Fucking paying for it.

See you at Pilton. Bring an airbed and some bog roll.

Hate you all.

But Des!!! I love U!!!!!!

Wot Dez has done his review of em.. Leeds y`mean? Already? Oh shit, dare I read it? I am sure he saw me stood in front of Steve in the front row on Sunday, what if he saw my thong clad arse as they pulled me from the masses during the second song. I had hurt my shoulder with the crowd surging and so security had to pull me out by my right arm and my erm.. thong top, I am glad they were clean on. Dez if you did see my arse then I appologise for it being presented in such an undignified manner. I`d better go and read the diary now... gawd I`m actually nervous!there`s sommat new! Love to yaz all, speshily Mickey Campari who I love to death. Wendy.

Will the crew and families of the band be at SG4?

Can't speak for the band but the crew will be there in a non working capacity (apart from Gordon who is working). Not sure I'm looking forward to sleeping in a tent though. Hope the weathers good!

Hey, Milky. I borrowed a tent!!

Think it'll sleep about 6 or 8 depending on how friendly we are! Big canvas thing that normally get's strapped on the back of a Landrover. We should be able to gaffa it to the back of the Previa, in the time honoured rock'n'roll tradition. And if it rains we may get a little damp! Should be fun, pass the wine.

Cool!! Nice to know the crew will be dossin' this time!! [poor Gordan!] How will we know who you guys are?? Me sister is tryin' to get me into one of her "message-boarder" t-shirts!! Me thinks the crew should join in.....

Stop knockin' my t-shirts missy!!! Y'know.... don't knock it 'til you've tried it!! Anyway, remember 1 very important fact.... I'm the one with the tent, so be VERY VERY nice to me!!! hehehe

OK, I know the crew are busy this weekend.... festivals, drinking, fun.... but where is everyone else????

Hello! I've been thinking about entertainment at the secret gig before Embrace play. We're gonna have a strip tiddlywinks competition - the fans versus the band versus the crew. Everyone has to join in. Well except me cos i'm in charge. So you all have to think of an idea to keep us all entertained as well xx

Seeing as it's the band, ably assisted by the crew, that normally entertain the fans, I think it should be the fans that are entertaining the crew, and band, in this instance!

haha, a sort of "weve been entertaining YOU, now YOU entertain US!!!"?? hmm, could be quite a scary prospect!! ok, first suggestions for dangerously enteraining tricks?? fire eating?! haha, get outta here! eating knives?! naw thanks mate. sooo, this is gonna be exciting entertainment! haha. see you guys there. (someone will have thought of something cool to do by then!)peace out!

hope to see alot of you at the Secret Gig!! In tents I might add too!! None of this sleeping in a bus mullarkey!

Ohmygodthecrewintents!Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!Quick pass the wine Milky.

Tents???? What are they then? I shall be bringing along the Pollypalace - me luxury motorhome tastefully decorated in gold lame and cerise chiffon xx

Hey Polly! How's it goin' Babe? Lookin' forward to seein' ya at this SG!!! Hope we'll all be invited into the "Polly Palace" for a few bevvies!!!

Well HHJJ, if you lads from the crew won't camp please tell the guys in Embrace that we fans wanna see them up to their eyeballs in muck like the rest of us!! It's only fair! Hehehe By the way I just wanna say that I enjoyed your account of the Bizarre Festival.... makes you realise all the work that goes into the whole preformance.... OK it also makes me wanna kick the ass of anyone who say that Embrace sound shite onstage.... How they sound is not just about how they're holdin' up themselves, it's a whole group thing, eh? OK, now I think people are gonna wanna linch you HHJJ!!!!! Nah! I'm sure you're safe! Out of curiosity....will any of the crew be at SG4?? I know that Gor was at SG3.....

Caroline, the rumour is that ALL the crew will be at SG/#4 and we will ALL be camping. 'Where's bus?????'

I think Gor'll be the only one actually doing any work mind. I think it'll be quite fun to actually just sit and watch the band for a change!

We will all be working at the Pilton gig the day before of course.

Maybe see you there!

Oh, and thanks for the plug on the 'other' message board! Danny has been promising an official link to us for weeks! Come on J, sort it out.

ooh yeah Caroline, everyone is welcome in the Polly Palace. There's jsut the small matter of getting it on the plane. Shouldn't be too difficult but inflating it might be another matter xx

Band and crew in tents!!!!!! OK I thought all my dreams had come true when I got tix for the gig, but this tops the lot!!!! My only question for everyone now is.... how on earth are we all gonna know who is who?? Y'know what I mean.... who's there for the SG etc?? Any good ideas?? Someone mentioned on the "other" messageboard the idea of all of us wearing t-shirts with our names on the back. I think it's not a bad idea. Ok, we'll know who the band are (providing there isn't too much non red fizzy stuff consumed beforehand!!), so how's about the crew gettin' themselves some snazzy t-shirts in honour of all the fans/messageboarders?? C'mmoooooonnn!! At least then I'll know which one is you HHJJ!!

Well guys..... as of today I'm armed with my "I'm a Messageboarder!!" t-shirt with my name across the back, so c'mooooooooonnnnn!!!! Who's gonna join me?????
