Title: TOAST Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on July 12, 2022, 03:25:55 PM With just a few short weeks to go until the long awaited party in our field….
Has anyone thought about this year’s TOAST? There are lots of people absent now… 😥 Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Metro96 (Keith) on July 12, 2022, 04:03:17 PM The main thing I'm thinking about is "Do not overindulge like I did last time & end up completely bladdered" :-[
Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Pastieboy (Trev) on July 12, 2022, 04:05:34 PM Yes . I think Toast is usual time , usual place, usual day ,usual charity , usual terrible attire and usual horrible tipple ( to be first tasted by the bringer before it’s distributed amongst the poor unsuspecting).

Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Pugwash on July 15, 2022, 09:53:55 AM How to remain safe from Pastie’s awful “jokes”.
Perhaps PB could do the toast from inside a box. He could write on a piece of paper and post it out.

He could write on a piece of paper and post it out. Aye but somebody would still have to read it out. Volunteers!!!!🤣🤣🤣 Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on July 17, 2022, 08:59:36 AM How to remain safe from Pastie’s awful “jokes”. Perhaps PB could do the toast from inside a box.

Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Dave.P on July 18, 2022, 07:35:51 PM I 'm unsure... the toast IS important but some concoctions are terrible some are not so terrible and some are unbelievably terrible.. May I suggest (cap in hand ) that PBs joke mirror the grades of taste so Pastieboy IS the ideal Master of ceremonies for this occasion. I second Jenny's suggestion [;-) {:-)
(Gets coat and runs for cover ;D ) Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Delfini (Diane) on July 18, 2022, 11:38:55 PM Shall I ask him?
Title: Re: TOAST Post by: sliprigilio (Al) on July 20, 2022, 04:20:44 PM The main thing I'm thinking about is "Do not overindulge like I did last time & end up completely bladdered" :-[ I introduced my good friend Rob to the Toast in 2019. He's been to Cropredy a few times, sometimes with me & sometimes with the added safety of his wife but nothing (not even me!) prepared him for the toast but I had mentioned that the natives were (relatively!) friendly and that some of the brews would be 'interesting'. After commencing the quaffing of pints at lunchtime at The Brasenose & The Red Lion as is customary, we carried on merrily in the field until the appointed hour. Rob participated with gusto! The end result was that he caught the start of Fairport's set & then said he might need a lie-down for a few mins. Becoming somewhat geographically challenged he still hadn't found our tent (field 4) by the time I ambled back at close of play around 1am.... He still can't remember what happened/how he eventually found the tent in the early hours... Rob will be accompanying me again this year - neither of our wife/partners will be joining us - so I've bought him a compass and a map of Cropredy and told him to be a good boy and not talk to strangers... See you there! Cheers, Slippy Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Field 7 is Heaven (Trev) on July 20, 2022, 09:05:30 PM My 2022 brew was initially designed to be called The yellow stuff , but as it matures it seems to be renaming itself The Green Stuff..
After 2 years of my Stuff accidentally and disappointingly turning out pleasant, I hope to do better this time. Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Andy on July 21, 2022, 12:08:27 AM I would encourage anyone participating that has a smartphone to download the free app "What3Words". You can then store the location of your tent to within a 9ft square and navigate to it using your phone.
If you can read the screen at that point. Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Delfini (Diane) on July 30, 2022, 01:25:34 AM Just a thought…..the RainMaster is on at 8……… the toast at the same time? What do you think?
Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on July 30, 2022, 10:18:09 AM Just spent an interesting 5 minutes reading through all the comments in the last thread…
Let’s make it even better this year folks, I am sure we can! See you all there. Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Ann from Lancs on August 02, 2022, 04:05:06 PM With just a few short weeks to go until the long awaited party in our field…. Has anyone thought about this year’s TOAST? There are lots of people absent now… 😥 We'll have to raise a glass from afar this year ... we have to leave on Saturday morning for the daughter's wedding!! Timing ... it's a gift!!

Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on August 04, 2022, 12:27:14 PM I have packed lots of shot glasses folks!

Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on August 04, 2022, 11:16:07 PM I suspect a slightly reduced grouping this year,but we will be there with something disgusting in hand! Great, see you there! Title: Re: TOAST Post by: PaulT on August 05, 2022, 07:46:41 AM I'll be there - I just need to concoct something, er, "different" before next Saturday...
Different = not disgusting! Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Pastieboy (Trev) on August 05, 2022, 10:32:42 AM I’d be honoured to Toast absent friends etc . Dig deep for the charity collection . I presume it is still for Teenage Cancer .
Wear your tiaras and fezzes . Bring smiles and potions . See you there . 7.30 (19.30hrs) it is then . You should all be able to hear me as I’ll be wearing a loud shirt . Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Andy on August 05, 2022, 10:39:04 AM Wendy and I intend to be there.
Although I am alcohol-free these days, so I'll just have to watch. Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on August 05, 2022, 10:43:54 AM Brilliant.. finally coming together…. 7.30 Saturday with Pastieboy.
I have enough shot glasses for everyone, and some… errr… interesting… stuff in bottles… See you all NEXT WEEK!!! Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Field 7 is Heaven (Trev) on August 05, 2022, 10:51:20 AM Just transferred the 2022 Stuff into its German stone Wine container.
Its settled down into a dull yellow . It smells nice and I think I've accidentally pleasanted it once again . Looking forward to the toast once more. Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Poor Will (Bill) on August 05, 2022, 09:12:02 PM Us three will be there
Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Delfini (Diane) on August 06, 2022, 02:08:01 AM Excellent news
Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Pastieboy (Trev) on August 06, 2022, 08:31:40 PM Oooh . I’ve got something John Lee Pedimore ,his daddy and his daddy before would be proud of for the toast . Yiiiii Haaaaa it’s perfect .
Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Field 7 is Heaven (Trev) on August 07, 2022, 01:53:44 PM Get it right Pastie Boy.. You;ll give us Trevor's a bad name.
John Lee PETTIMORE gave up on the moonshine, and turned into cultivating a certain plant after the Vietnam war. Great song though that Copperhead Road. Steve Earl and the Dukes would be a great headliner at Cropredy wouldn't they. Looking forward to your tipple at the toast providing its the stuff that John Lee's Daddy and Grandad produced and not what he got into after the war. Title: Re: TOAST Post by: mickf on August 07, 2022, 08:37:33 PM I'm at Cropredy with my two sons, but I can only guarantee myself at the toast (with aforementioned fez!)
Title: Re: TOAST Post by: issy on August 08, 2022, 10:49:36 AM Wendy and I intend to be there. Although I am alcohol-free these days, so I'll just have to watch. Aw, Andy, I'm sure we can find something non-alcoholic and disgusting for you to enjoy! Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Will S on August 08, 2022, 11:15:18 AM I plan to be there too. See you all then - if not before!
Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on August 08, 2022, 01:09:26 PM Wendy and I intend to be there. Although I am alcohol-free these days, so I'll just have to watch. Aw, Andy, I'm sure we can find something non-alcoholic and disgusting for you to enjoy! Same for me too please Issy… Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Dave.P on August 09, 2022, 02:11:20 AM I will be there. I shall try to limit myself to a total amount that will permit seeing the rest of the evening
Title: Re: TOAST Post by: mikec on August 09, 2022, 08:48:10 AM I will be there.

This year we were remembering many lost friends, as always .
Considering not as many Talkawhilers were able to be there this time for the Toast as in previous years (weather and illness for example), a big thank you for helping us all to raise this amount for a very worthy cause . Thank you all . Well done . Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Delfini (Diane) on August 14, 2022, 06:27:14 PM You did a grand job, pastie.
That’s a really generous donation from a reduced group. We are a good bunch! Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Shane (Skirky) on August 14, 2022, 07:20:02 PM A small, but perfectly-formed group. Lovely to catch up although everything I drank was surprisingly palatable! ;D Must try harder!
Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on August 14, 2022, 08:13:48 PM Well done everyone 😁😁😁

I’d be mortified if you felt obliged. There’s a extra £10 to add already to the charity via this method . Thanks to you know who. Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Amethyst (Jenny) on August 15, 2022, 11:25:33 AM So happy to have been able to chat with you all at the toast…

Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Swamp Donkey (Keith) on August 22, 2022, 09:28:05 PM Thanks PB for hosting the toasting. Well done everyone. However, PB, your bad stuff was good stuff. Should we have a vote who was the worst stuff?
Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Delfini (Diane) on August 22, 2022, 10:59:40 PM Brilliant!
Title: Re: TOAST Post by: Bridgwit (Bridget) on August 23, 2022, 12:06:37 AM That’s fab :D Well done everyone
