Why take a generator

[stigproducts]

Thinking of taking a generator this year but can't get out of that whole camping mind set that some electricity will blow away. What appliances will it be needed for???

So far I we have thought of

FRIDGE
Lights
Phone and camera chargers
Music?

What else could we use it for?

2 years ago we had


fridge
big colour telly and sky sattelite reciever running from ours.

if you do take a fridge with you make sure its been on for a few days before you go to get it cold, otherwise they never get cold enough over the weekend.

we bought an old tv and an old fridge with the idea of leaving them for the pikeys...
ratehr than bringing back.

the fridge had a padlock welded to it...

best to fill it with newspaper and leave it on for a week before then load up and dont open the door till you get to lm and fill it with beer.


Other Ideas mmmm


water feature..

scalextric set

microwave oven

big stero system

The second year I went we had our generator nicked....beware and make sure it is pad locked to a wheel or something large and heavy..

Mind you, our generator was running a light at the time it got nicked.....Everyone had been on the sherbert for too long to notice........Doh!

Cleaning teeth @ le Mans is a felony.
Any man caught cleaning his teeth has to down a beer. These here spoons, you keep with ya. Any man loses his spoon has to down a beer.. There's no playin' grab-ass or fightin' in the building. Any man playin' grab-ass or fightin' in the building has to down a beer. First bell is at five minutes of eight...Last bell is at eight. Any man not in his bunk at eight has to down a beer. There's no smokin' in the prone position in bed. If you smoke, you must have both legs over the side of your bunk. Any man caught smokin' in the prone position in bed has to down a beer. You'll never have a clean sheet. When at Le Mans, you put the clean sheet on the top and someone elses top sheet on the bottom. The bottom sheet you turn into the missus on Tuesday. Any man turns in a sheet early has to down a beer. No one will sit in the bunks with dirty pants on. Any man with dirty pants on sittin' on the bunks has to down a beer. Any man don't bring back his empty pop bottle(for the beer wall)has to down a beer. Any man loud-talkin' has to down a beer.. You got questions, you come to me...Any man don't keep order has to down a beer. Any man caught downing beer has to down a beer. Any man ask any questions has to down a beer. Any questions?

Im taking a solar charger, and a power station 400amp jumpstart thingy.
also taking a 12 - 240 volt inverter. That is enough to charge camcorder, phone, run a few lights, and radio. then when the sun comes out .... plug it into the solar charger and top up, or use it as an excuse to go for a blast and charge via the cigarette lighter.

To answer the original question...to really annoy other campers!

I for one will be taking huge quantities of fast setting sh*te to put down the cylinder of any genny that is used between the hours of 02.00 and 09.00 AM!!!

BTW...isn't it about time that we surgically implanted that saxophone from the guy that ruins the peace of Camping Blue every year? How about we all do a hit and run on Saturday night (01.00 ish) when the Old Fecker is warming up for another sh*te rendition of "Born to Run"

Edited to say that I'm not even in Camping Blue this year but I'm sure the Old C*nt will stillannoy me from Houex!!!

Must admit sopme of those camping are unreasonable. One gets ued to the drone of the cars all night, but its the noises that start and stop that are the worst.

First year I went I camped in Parking Blue, the Germans in the tent next to us would get up at 3am turn thier music on at full volume, make lots of noise until 7am when they went back to bed. What was that about?
