    The way he has trimmed those Olive trees is very snobbish too

    I would imagine that Fosse has installed one of those doorbells that chimes like a church bell too

    ... or that hard work combined with a modicum of intelligence and the wiilingness to move for work can markedly improve your lot in life ... left Leicester in 1986 to take a job in High Wycombe ... a profession I'm still working in today, albeit swapping Buckinghamshire for Hertfordshire... :)

    Been a very different holiday I'm usually one to go find historical crap and walk about exploring Mrs luv chills but I've joined her and done a week sat by the pool or by the sea (10 second walk from the pool). It's like I'm in a coma.

    I tried that. I don't like a holiday that is super jam packed waking up early and doing **** all day long but at the same time i tried sitting around doing **** all and "reading" and basking in the sun and i get bored as ****, especially if i'm not feeling tired. Got to go and explore a bit really

    I would normally agree but it's been great. I've kept active with an evening walk to a restaurant and walking about and swimming in the sea and pool, on my second book.

    The adults only thing helps as it's chilled at the pool.

    Now it makes sense, I wondered why it looked so peaceful.

    3 people in there. About 10 people around on sunbeds, loads of beds left The pool people bring you a free beer or water now and then and move your umbrella for you to keep you in the shade.

    I'm like it's okay I can do that, I find it difficult to let people wait on me like this but it is kinda nice.

    I don't like people generally doing things for me, I'm a very independent ****er, but if they bring free beer I'm all for that. I think if I ran a bar, it's something I'd want my employees to do, obviously customers would have to pay though lol. I'm sure a lot of pubs could sell more beer if they were more proactive. I'm old school, if I've got an empty glass it needs filling. I know last Gills game I went in the micro pub, because I prefer them and the woman behind the bar came to you, didn't have to move at all
