FOS Date ?

[exkay]

Hi Guys,
I`m confused, is the festival this weekend coming i.e 5/6/7 July or next weekend ? a couple of the threads are saying both dates.

[HoHoHo]

Without wishing to sound like I'm taking the piss - have you thought about looking at the Goodwood website?

11th-14th July is the answer.

[exkay]

Yes, done that, and i can have the piss taken out of me, i`m hard !!
Its just that i`m listening to Radio 2 Chris Evans show, and they are leaving as we speak in his cars to meet up at Goodwood on Sunday for as Evans says, the FOS...this its whats thrown me a bit,

[exkay]

Also, look at the 3rd thread down from mine, and the date says this weekend....

Good that you're well 'ard

Personally I wouldn't listen to anything that tosser says. He's better off pissed in a pub with his mates being out of the limelight as far as I'm concerned. He's so far up his own arse he can clean his teeth with his tongue.

Anyway......and breath.......

FOS is weekend after next.

Wellarrrrd !! Thanks for that, thats that one cleared up then, but dear Mr Evans is on his way, a week early,strange ?

The FoS was originally meant to be this weekend but it had to be moved back a week due the late schedule change by the FIA, putting the German Grand Prix this weekend.

Chris Evans is doing the annual "Magnificent Seven" for Children in Need today, nothing to do with the FoS. In fact he knows it has moved because he has mentioned it.

Correct, with no thought whatsoever to those who'd booked accommodation for the first date.

Lord March at his best - him first, punters second.

Ask Chuck if you can stay in his potting shed

It's OK, I won't go to FOS out of principle - I've worked for Lord March and have little time for him to be honest (as do most of his staff!)

[Fireblade69]

Has he got a nice potting shed? If you're not using it I could do with a spare bed

I'm sure you have a very valid reason for posting this, but please don't speak on behalf of other people. To add a bit of balance, I find LM an absolute pleasure to work for and have done for a number of years.

I'm not going to go into details but I've worked for him and also employed and worked with ex-staff (and know other ex members of the Goodwood clan)

I feel I'm in a position to voice an opinion and that of others.

I'm not going into details but I had a good day when I said 'no you've made your bed'

You don't seem to have much good to say about anyone really do you?

I've lost count of the number of times I've read you slagging off Lord March and now you've added Chris Evans to the list.

My mum always said, if you haven't got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Not a bad motto for life......

I am sure its a nice balanced opinion then from all those EX members of staff!

On the subject of Chris Evans, whether you love him or hate him (i think he`s a great guy by the way) fairplay to him for waht he does for the children in need charity, as we speak he`s driving through the south of england having loaned his Ferraris to 7 couples who have bid extrodinary amounts of money for a great weekend away driving and having great food in great hotels, all finishing up at Goodwood. I wish i had half his energy and enthusiasm, i know it helps having a few million in the bank, but he gets out there and has a great time with his life.

Maybe he wanted some of the F1 teams there, for the punters.

I fully appreciate why he did it, but with no compensation to those who have lost money.

@SP - correct, not much good to say about LM, history and all that. Chris Evans happens also not to be on my card list, but lots are.

However we're all entitled to our opinion I assume? At least I voice it rather than talk behind backs.

Simply not true.

I can only assume you are talking on someone else's behalf again as you said your not attending FoS anymore out of principal?
