can i just remind everyone who didn't go to bloc, that bloc was on just a couple of weekends ago? apparently it was brilliant and everyone did washpowder tablets and fell over. i loved it when jimi hendrix was jamming with autechre on a casio dg20 jacked into the mind of terence mckenna, and the hot air balloon from which loz was watching the set burst... loz fell 50 feet, but his fall was broken by emef's vomit, and he got up, let off a party popper and said: "ROCK-HARD XXX TECHNO PARTY!!! BRRAAARRGGGHHHHH!!!"

Oh yeah, Bloc ! Thanks for the reminder, I'd almost forgotten. Great thread.
So anyway, I remembered another funny thing - when I was dancing* to I-F, this girl sidled up to me with a massive grin on her face and started saying "yeah, totally" and "right" at regular intervals as if I was talking to her, which I wasn't. She then announced that "we're saving the world with our smiles". So I said "yeah, totally". She carried on with the one-sided conversation for a bit, answering things I wasn't saying so I told her some of the people at the other side of the dancefloor looked like they were in need of saving, so maybe she should go over and smile at them. She didn't, so I had to do the crab dance, where you keep looking forwards and slyly shuffle off sideways, trying to make it look like you're not slyly shuffling off sideways. Funny. :)
Thanks again, thembuzz, great thread.
Anybody else got any more stories to share ? thembuzz is desperate to hear them........

Oooh I got a tonne. Let me collect my thoughts....
when we were walking back from the beach along the main road, a pensioner coming the other way stopped and went 'techno techno techno techno' to two of my friends in a sort of scowling 2 unlimited type way...was funny at the time

Ah bloc, what a weekend that was! The memories - oh but I can't remember them cos I was taking so many crazy drugs!!
The best bit? Watching the Eastenders omnibus in our chaley - while sellotaped inside a chemical toilet, omg!
The worst bit? The comedown from all the ecstacy's and ketamine's we'd been drinking!!

Confession time : Are you in any of the photos, Ben ? Because I remember we were introduced, can't remember who by (possibly Tec?), but in my memory you have no face:) . Although I do also remember us both saying we probably wouldn't be able to pick each other out of a line-up 10 minutes after the introduction.....

I had this crazy bald scottish guy spend the evening drinking and talking shit on sat nite...and then this other guy from some other room comes in and we talk to him, he leaves and no one knows who he was....then a chinese girl would wander in every so often and ask if anyone wanted some laughing gas...of course it wasn't till after she left that I would realize what she's asking cause she doesn't speak very good english....
also i was absolutely sure I saw operator there, but Clair wouldn't go next door and knock on the door to find out for me...

Did you get the door-to-door drug salesman too... I remember my mate asking me what he had...
Ecstasy or MDMA (might as well have said Coke or Pepsi) - not much of a selection, you'd think the dealers could have got it together for more of a smorgasbord...
you know, if you painted Bracket green, he'd look a bit like the Hitcher from Mighty Boosh
also, here's my funny Bloc story.. was reintroduced to Virus on the dancefloor, and because I hadn't seen him for aaaaaaaaaaaages gave him a massive hug. Then saw this woman behind him with curly blonde hair, who in my drug haze assumed must be Goonie, so gave her a massive hug too. Then after the hug, realised she looked nothing like Goonie at all, and had to apologise. Her friend thought I was a freak, possibly trying some sort of sexual molestation, but she was happy, and told her friend I was lovely, and she wished she knew me.
And I never saw her again.

here's my bloc photo ... http://www.cuttsgallery.com/dynamic/images/display/Richard_Stipl_Bloc_Sabbath_I_4 70_271.jpg
that morning was well top. me and clair were on hot cross buns, and we were laughing our heads off at loz's radiator costume. but then bracket came in dressed as himself and loz laughed so hard a bit of shit came out and he had to do this penguin waddle to the toilets. shame, because he missed andrea parker's t-shirt with a print on it that made it look like there was a tear in the chest and her boobs were hanging out. that was so funny i had to get on a train back home, take a fork from my cutlery drawer, catch another train back to bloc, find every single person i'd been with before i left and then jab myself in the thigh with the fork just to calm myself down

thembuzz, do you remember when you did a shit on surgeon's decks when he was playing Killing In The Name Of by Rage Against The Machine?
He sped the record up to 45 and pitched it up, throwing bits of your shit all over the crowd, and stinkfinger got some in his mouth, and he got really high off it and we didn't see him for days.

if only we'd had jack bauer at bloc! there was a minor terrorist incident on the saturday that he could've sorted out. well, i say terrorist incident - really it was jerome hill throwing a kidney at a crowd of revellers, but not letting go, and piling into them in some sort of terrible, low-tech suicide attack. one girl ended up with her own foot coming out of her mouth... that was definitely the low point of the weekend... of course, i was blissfully unaware of it all, as i was sponged on brake fluid, hunched up in the corner scratching dirty pictures into the paintwork with my teeth

3rd April 2007, 23:59
yeah, that was when you and loz were trying to get that flying bus off the ground. we kept telling you that it wouldn't take off just because you'd stuck a couple of wooden planks out of the windows like makeshift wings, but you wouldn't listen. that bloke that orang pushed under your bus certainly listened. he listened through his guts that wound up dragging themselves along the ground looking desperately for medical attention before his heart shrivelled up and imploded, leaving a tiny cloud of dark matter that grew and grew, eventually engulfing the second half of the weekend. and that's why people have such sketchy memories of the event

a funny bit I remember is sitting in the chalet, seeing footage of Newcleus on stage... one of the vocalists was gurning hard.. spent most of the time swaying, eyes shut and gurning throughout the tune... during the chorus bit he lurched forward to the mic, opened his eyes real wide and sang "PUSH THAT BUTTON!!"
then stepped back gurning, eyes shut
another highlight: the singer from Wevie Stonder slowly picking up a cardboard sign with "CACK" written on it, and moving it slowly around the stage during an instrumental bit.
