  1. Vis island. Where Tito had his submarine base when he was head of Yugoslavia. Only opened to the public recently, very undeveloped and beautiful. Couple of amazing caverns, accessible from the sea. The submarine base is interesting to see (similar to the sub bases in Das Boot, I thought), and you can do a military tour of the island.
  2. Got to stay in a hotel for 2 weeks on arrival in NZ, generally at the moment
  3. What do you know about the situation in Slovenia? We have flights there in Sept but I've not booked anything else. We were trying it due to being Italy/Croatia fans.
  4. Right. So I can't get on with clearing my late mother's house, like I was doing this afternoon, but I can take stuff away from outside the house if my sister (who will have been nowhere except the house since this afternoon) puts it there. Bloody ridiculous.
  5. IKEA. £99. 2 or 3 tied together to get the area you want. But take the roof off if it gets very windy. https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/karlsoe-gazebo-white-30411458/
  6. I always use Canadian flour when I make bread, it makes a better loaf, hth
  7. Pizzaland was on the M&S side in the 70s - spent a lot of time in there as a 6th former as they sold pizza by the quarter slice and unlimited refills of coffee (we were cheapskates). After I left Bolton, it moved to the opposite side of the road and then became Pizza Hut.
  8. And never mind Widders, Sr Monica was still alive last I heard, around Easter time. Miss Walker was great, taught me for 3 years, Environmental Studies & Geology
  9. That would be the smokers bench by the bottom courts.
  10. Vis. Formerly a military base where Tito kept his submarines. Whole island is riddled with tunnels. Only fairly recently been opened up to the public hence it's pretty much unspoilt.
  11. DeLonghi bean to cup with a removable milk container so it goes straight from fridge to machine & back again. The Nespresso is used for the travel mug in the morning when there's no time for faffing.
  12. If you look on the London Reconnections site, somewhere there's an article about why Tfl understand running a rail network (in short, it's because they've been doing it continuously for a long time - you need at least 10 years to get to grips with the potential problems). Here's another interesting thread Check out @garius’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/garius/status/1002853924531994624?s=09
  13. Blimey, Smiley - that's bad.
  14. If you can, read this thread - it explains the whole thing pretty well Check out @garius’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/garius/status/1002527558599168000?s=09
  15. Bloody students these days, some of us slept in fields & on beaches, and scrumped fruit to eat when we interrailed. Have a good time.
  16. Bloody hell, we're looking at 50k plus for ours & no knocking a conservatory down.
  17. In 1979 we were told, by the priest, to vote for the candidate who was against abortion. That was said by all the Catholic priests across the borough. Bloody Catholics.
  18. As regards male & female toilets, female toilets are for women to get together and discuss how revolting the men we work with are.
  19. "...a bloke just clearly dressed as a woman." And there you get into an interesting area. What does "dressed as a woman" mean? I dress mainly in trousers (and I have to for work) so does that make me a bloke wannabe? I've always wondered what's involved in the living as a woman for 2 years that a man has to do before gender reassignment - maybe it means that men have to talk over you for 2 years.
  20. She's apparently a whizz at Japanese railway connections. She's slowly moving up the rankings again but giving her a wildcard into Wimbledon is doing her game no favours, she'd be better off doing 3 qualifying matches to get into a groove.
  21. No problem. Btw, going back to Euston from Wimbledon, it's far quicker to do rail to Waterloo then Northern line to Euston than faff around on the District line.
  22. Croatia's brilliant but the beaches tend to be rocky. As for children, I avoid them so can't help you.
