Wowzers!! they are even outpricing StuRomseysaint!! How the hecjk can this be so I wonder? Maybe Stu could cut out the bacon sarnies? I sincerely am pleased for people mavking few bucks and the other fringe benefits thrown in. I am tempted to block book a whole coach and sell the seats on at a tidy profit myself. It is quite frankly amazing that they can do it at those prices. Can anyone offer an explanation? Maybe their drivers only speak Polish? If that is the case then COUNT ME OUT.

Toni b I have retracted from the Greyhound bashing. Nice to see that they are picking up from near the ShoMobility Centre, can I assume that wheelchair users are welcome on this one? That would be excellent news.

Toilets. I have been informed of a third option, which although I would not condone it's use, does sound very convenient* and makes scents*. *see what i did there? Genius = me. Anyway, option three involves the use of a carrier bag. The are extremely portable and have built in fold-away handles, one size fits all but most importantly they are very easy to dispose of. Disposal methods are; find nearest bin or swing around head to gather momentum and release into farmers field. Mr canteen, I am familiar with the works of Terry Darlington, his programmes are regularly repeated on the Lifestyle channel. One similarity is that he had his whippet (Jim) and we are taking Boo (our Pug). Boo has his own little life jacket (very sweet he looks in it too) mrs h has bought him a parka (Mod target on back) and we've got him a 'day cage' so as to minimise me having to go in the canal to drag him out. Actually, if he does fall in, his life-jacket has a handy grab handle thus negating the need to follow him, just grab pull him out with one of those long hooky ended pole things.

la regata? Tapas? Don;t even know wheer Regatta is, sorry. As for Tapas, we have had them in Spain - lovely, but can they do them justice in Southampton i wonder?

/\ You had better be as experienced as you say you are mrs b. We'll take it slow at first until I get my confidence, then just let me take over, okay.

Sorry PL I never knew of Griff, he sounds like a real good egg going by the comments above. You're a lucky lady but he was also a very lucky chap. You is nice. If you don;t mind (and I don't usually need an excuse) I will raise a glass of Pride to him in roughly 15 minutes time?

Oysters are best fresh froma genuine seafood place tbh. In America I undestand that Maine is THE place to go for seafood, apcording to my nephew's gf (from Maine) no-one ever gets poisoning there. As for the Olive Tree, well I won;t be taking a risk there now and was planning a b/day meal with about 10-12 mates in a couple of weeks. Now glad of your feedback, sorry that you were our Guinea Pig though kip.

mrs b, about that PM lst night; if you are serious then you are on. Just don;t let on to our respective other halfs okay. can you make Tuesday or Wednesday though and at a different location, perhaps somewhere where we can pop a cork or two? I'll PM you as it's probably best we keep the detals qt.

Thoughts please mrs b. Toilets? What is the best system in your opinion; pump out or cassette? We accept that pump out is viewed as cleaner due to not having to touch anything containing 'brown water' but we've also been told that you tend to carry said waste for longer and it can start to pong. This is worse when you are on the cut as a couple as it takes longer to fill the waste tank enough to warrant the cost of pumping out. Whereas with the cassette system, a couple can empty out every couple of days and do a final empty on the last day. Also we understand that the sani-points are fre to use as a part of your BW licence fee? Apparently the golden rule is that whenever you are either visiting a shop, pub or public building, powder your nose. thoughts?

You laugh, that would be a dream come true. Stevo can you use your powers to make this happen?

Believe me I know, I have played it with neighbours during barbecues but best of all I once played it in the middle of Waterloo station, it started as a way of amusing the grandkids in tow an dendede with mostly adults shouting at the top of their lungs.

As tis appears to be a sensible converstaion on the subject I will contribute my own fwiw thoughts. For years after doing night shifts at Heathrow I have had a reallyerratic 'tiredness' pattern. Additionally a few years back we had an 'uninvited guest' who caused some damege to the house and to my amazement I slept right through it, it scared the life out of me and subsequently my sleep 'problem' really did become a problem. I understand that that period was completely down to the trauma. Some may read this thread and wonder what the hell we are all talking about, but it is in my experience the worrying about not sleeping that compounds it, it can be a very viscious circle. Once i fully understood the thought patterns I was not necesarily cured but was (and still am) much more comfortable with the whole insomnia thing. following recent personal problems I started waking every single time that mrs h moved, again it is a very deep sub-conscious thing. Best way i could describe it was as a kind of 'must protect my loved ones' 24 hours a day stream of thinking, which in itself is understandable but nontheless not sustainable. Some might say it's not 'normal' but once I got my head around it I began to accept it. Now, most of the time I don;t let it bother me. Whe I really want to to slepp I have two tried and tested techniques which work without fail. They may not work for others but give them a try, you never know. Here is one of them: 1. Take a deep breath, don;t hold it in but gently feel that oxygen pass into your toes, keep bretahing (consciously). Feel the oxygen passing through your lower legs then your thighs. Another nice deep breath and feel it rise up your body into your midriff, when you reach the upper body areatry to concentrate on the sensation of your breath circulating all around your chest muscles. Next breath you concentrate on your hands, then fore-arms, then biceps and shouldres. Finally you move to the most important area for oxygen and bloodflow, your brain. Feel it liberating your mind, at this point your breath is quite literally helping you to concentrate in the one part of your body that WAS keeping you awake. If you are still awake do one last thing; think about your whole body? Notice just how relaxed the whole of your body is? You may feel qute light-headed at this point, this is because without realising it you are totally relaxed and your mind is as empty of thoughts as you will ever experience it to be. If this does not work first time try it again the following night, you will be less cynical and hopefully will have experienced a little of what sleep requires, it's a kind of floating sensation for want of a better term. Good luck.
