event Shitefest International 2025 aka Merdefest 9-10 August - France - Traditional Shitefest Left Property Post

[chaseracer]

Really wish I could join the fun, but domestic and familial duties call.  Oh, and some weird all-day event for strange French tin cans!

[Saabnut]

Quick weather update from the Merdefest Locale. Currently mid 20s and sunny although we had a shower of rain just after dawn. We missed storm florette or cabbage or whatever it was called, and the forecast is for more sun and rising temperatures to mid 30s by the weekend. Bring your sun hats and sunscreen!

if it makes yah feel better guess who in the run up to this managed to completely bugger up his sleep cycle and has not yet been to sleep yet, but has to be awake at 7:30AM tomorrow! (I suppose if I can bugger it up even more and then wake up really late, then then 7:30AM will just the middle of the day for me so problem "solved"?)

One more stint!

[davidfowler2000]

Gutted to be missing this because of the booked Sunday at work. Also turns out I'm coming down with an illness of some description which would have been ripe for carrying on my Shitefest tradition of turning up sick. Have fun.

[hairnet]

Is floaty sick of the sound of dugga dugga yet

[Shandylegs]

Just on my way to Newhaven.

I had thought about offering up the spare seat if someone was struggling for transport, glad I now didn't (boot is also rammed!)

[High Jetter]

Are ye there yet?

[hairnet]

smells a bit (coming from outside)

used to country smells so dont care - must be popular place as outside is rammed - shit peugeot dumped on a grassy bit with another car so not in way

ac on now and smell not so bad

lol at french news theyre talking about putin and the graphic says poutine

about right

luckily got in the place as went to machine put number in and no - asked it to resend number which it did and no

someone was coming out as i was pressing buttons so got in but code worked fine on the door into room so no idea what that was about i hate automated check ins - and the whole point of these places is you can check 24.7

slightly odd that ive checked in which they then send you the access number - stayed in lots of these and thats not happened before - usually the terminal gives you your number - and the number gets you in the gate (its open) and surely they should have a keypad on the door put that in and bosh (yes i am at the right one - the others are in the city centre)
