Kids off school for a week soon so a few hidden gems to visit. ? The North Dock Tufa and plenty haven't seen it. It's enclosed in the main building in the marina near the reception. Ring up to make sure its on view.

For a run out there's an ancient tree forest near Amble only discovered in 2014. The more the tides roughed it up the more you can see. Easy to park at Low Hauxley and straight onto the beach .

I feel a bit daft posting this but what the hell.

After a long day on trains and metros the first glass of wine or beer becomes a critical part of the day, especially if I have to drive from the train station to home as I can only have one pint, two at a push. I have a lovely Poretti glass I have 'on loan' from the bar at Newcastle Central Station which perfectly doubles up as a wine or beer glass ...

... before I leave the house I fill it with water and put it in the bottom of the fridge so it's chilled when I'm home.

If I pour a beer it never froths up and whatever I have is perfectly cold <cheers><bubbly> :emoticon-0103-cool:

('Please note, you must always empty the water from the glass before pouring your drink!')

More tips like this can be found on my Vlog 'Alcohol and how to get the most from it'.

True mate, we could have a beached whale now and no one would know which one to rescue :1980_boogie_down:

'Does this swimsuit make me look fat?'

'No, you're just fat'.

'But being fat is beautiful in it's own way isn't it?'


'No'.

'That's a hate crime, I have a medical condition'.


'No, you're just fat.'

'F*ck off ya skinny c*nt'.

'Called gluttony '

'I'm on the sea food diet'

'yes see food and eat it'

My closest friend in France, was a bodybuilder, who was 'Mr South of France' and very fit.

When we worked together endless people would come to him and say,

'Paul, I need to lose weight, what advice can you give me?'

He's was a lovely kind man but would always reply,

'Go to your local library and take out a book about the Holocaust, look at the photos of the camps and count how many fat f*ckers there are. Now go away, get off to the restaurant like you always do and fill your face.'

Was my birthday last Thursday, and one of my sons came up today and had got me this....

This thing is massive, I've put a can of Guinness (0.0) next to it for scale.
698 parts, 91cm long and 55cm high. I don't think I'll be knocking this one up in a couple of weeks.

The nights are drawing in now, this should keep me occupied for a while.
