Off On Yer Hollibobs

Like everyone else, I'm sorry to hear that. Hope things turn out for the better soon. I don't post there much but it's always a pleasure whenever you pop up on the magazine chat, or anywhere else on the forum for that matter.

Grant, you're an excellent dude. I know it's not as simple as saying that to solve things, but if you ever need reminding of this, see all of the above.

Thanks lads.

I've been in the Cotswolds.

It was wet. There was alcohol. We had massages. I am now back.

That is all.

I can't glean if you enjoyed yourself or not from that post...

Ah, sorry! I did, it was just a bit wet. We were meant to go on long walks, and did, but they were more like long wades; so that wasn't great. However the Cotswolds are beautiful and there were lots of tearooms alongside the alcohol, and the second half of the holiday was a spa break! Very handy for the modern-day stressed gentleman.

Glad you were able to unwind!

Well tickets went on sale for Gamescom but as over 300k people go, I can't see it being on that I've not booked it.

I do hear if you're looking at holidays, rather cheap now even months away, just not sure August is far enough away.

We have a Portuguese wedding in June, which is going to be appallingly hot - but The Lady quite rightly has pointed out that cancellation insurance is a necessity for this. The premium increase is probably more than going to offset the reduction in ticket prices...

The holiday did remind me of people's comments on here about ex-London public transport. Quite a lot of the journeys we had to make were serviced by one bus per day if you're lucky.

I'm planning to visit the UK for the last week in August but that's of course up in the air . . .
