I don't like holidays either. if you're going somewhere 'exotic' you just get a load of hassle at the airport security. I got accused of having exposives in my walking stick. A specialist was summoned to talk to me. For heaven's sake. Even he said he didn't get it and let me go through.

Then you get to stay in sh!t accommodation in a city you know nothing about. You can eat in horrible restaurants with revolting food. You can stay in nasty slummy places that allegedly can have four guests but they only have one plate and half a mug. No. You can stick your holiday up your backside. I'm not going.

I am going to Norfolk for my next holiday. Hey! isn't Colin in Norfolk? :D

These new hearing aids are weird. If I yawn or burp I get a bring-bring phone noise.

"Hey! isn't Colin in Norfolk"

Yes I am and there are people that will tend to your garden and not charge the earth believe a couple of hors will cost £40/£50.

Yeah, but I can't move my garden to Norfolk. It's easy enough for us to get in the car and drive there.

If you could come down to Kent I could provide free accommodation and meals in exchange for a couple of hours gardening every moring. Yeah, I'd pay for that as well. I just want a nice garden again.

I don't make smelling mistakes. It's this darned keyboard. Still looking for my usual 'puter in the bizarre jumble of stuff the AGS packers sent. Avoid AGS like the proverbial! Would you believe they shipped our rubbish to us? I mean that literally. They didn't engage brain to figure out that we'd not want empty plastic water bottles which were in the recycling bin. No, they shipped them and tried to charge us £1500+ for being over volume. Grrr. (Still fighting the case.)
