Toonraider

it is to me

its like one of those optical illusions....though normally i can see those right away

Shared bathrooms is a big no-no for me. If it's not en-suite, I'm not interested tbh. i agree with you....but in this case id take my wet wipes and bleach spray with me!!

especially if the guests are like some of you lot and only shower at night AND piss on the floor

Perhaps thats why im drawn to this as ive never stayed in one before! Must admit i had an image of a row of beds in a dimly lit Dorm with hairy dirty blankets on the beds But this place is a lovely building.

Im having trouble seeing the black camels as shadows im seeing them as the camels, its really frustrating me. Angle of the sun relative to them ffs. FFS!!! YES!!! i GET that, jesus I just cant see it "Oi just bain't seein' it! It's hurrrtin' moi ois!" and you :

Can you imagine toonraider trapesing round that? She wouldnt have a fucking clue what was going on. They're taken from the air man woman man! High up in the air! She doesnt travel by 'iron bird' either iirc. Probably thinks its witchcraft.

Interesting photos.

My friend and i just had a good weekend in the Cotswolds visiting the usual picturesque places such as Broadway, stow on the wold and the slaughters. Anyway a small group of us are going back to Stratford again in Dec for 2 nights, just for some christmas shopping not to mention the Stratford town ghost walk Anyhow, whilst looking for a cheap B&B or hotel we found this....have to say i have never stayed in a youth hostel and didnt even think i could now (I thought i was way too old) But this place looks something else! and its so cheap! Think we might go for it. Any of you lot stayed in a youth hostel? I didnt know there were any quite like this one! http://www.yha.org.uk/hostel/hostelpages/197.html

The following is a picture taken directly above these camels in the desert at sunset. It is considered one of the best pictures of the year. Look closely, the camels are the little white lines in the picture. The black you see are just the shadows!! I just cant see it

im glad you dont like Turkish D....it pisses me off when someone chooses that one from the box, why cant they just go for the flake cake one? ( im very protective over chocolate) I'll pretty much eat anything chocolatey, as long as its not white or cooking chocolate. My friend and i went away the weekend just gone to the Cotswolds, we were nearly an hour in ONE fudge shop in Stratford, just too much to sample and choose from!!

Agreed. Sorry to hear your bad news Gina Why not buy a few boxes of Marks and Spencers 'nice' biscuits, ( on offer at present) split the boxes up, wrap the biccies into individual parcels and tie up with ribbon for small gifts. Its the thought that counts after all. It is the thought that counts, but if anyone gives me a biscuit for Christmas, there'll be trouble. not even a ginger one? I dont mind receiving a box of those really moreish M&S luxury biccies though. No, not even a ginger one. I'll go through three tins of the cadburys biscuit selections over the festive period though. I watched more about this whole thing on the news this morning and it's awful. Old grannies losing £6k and stuff. Pretty shocking. mmmm yes, those cadburys chocolate cakes are gorgeous too...especially the turkish delight one! (mouth watering here)

Individually wrapped biscuits? Sorry I thought she had a bit of misfortune, I missed the bit where she said she'd been trapped in a Dickens novel. i didnt mean one biscuit per present!! they are large boxes and you could half them to make them go around further and creatively wrap them prettily!!!

I have a Rover 600 that cost me £600. It's an 11 year old 'N' plate and when people laugh at my 'banger' i laugh right back at them. It was owned by an octogenarian, garaged since new and when i got it had 28k on the clock. I've had it for 2 years, haven't spent a penny in repairs on it and don't have a couple of hundred quid a month going out on a car loan. New cars are a way to part stupid people from their money tbh. Or people who are just richer than you. You might have difficulty getting parts for that Rover if anything does fo wrong mind, and it almost certainly will, being a British car. Monster our Laguna is 10 years old, low mileage, great condition and reliable....all for £280! Its a quality car too, not one of these new noisy, uncomfotable shoe boxes that people buy! We got our son a peugeot (sp) 106 when he passed his test, think we got it for £300, its still going strong now! We look at it, if you only pay a few 100's for a car that lasts a year ot two then you cant go wrong, just chuck it away if it needs money spending on it.

Nope never would, waste of money as you lose so much so quickly. Hubby is in the garage trade anyway and gets us incredibly cheap run arounds that he literally throws away the minute they need anything major doing on them! We actually have a Laguna at present, yes its a few years old, but very good condition and cost us £280....bargain!!!

I listened to The Sound- 24, again recently, its a very good album, yet dont hear much about them at all, anyone know if theyve split?

How are you getting on rikko? settling in ok? Understanding the worzel gummidge accent ok? I know what you mean about Drakes shopping centre, im in no rush to see it after my trips to Newcastle!!

Because your links are to the wrong stuff, post links to something new that sounds like U2, floyd, radiohead, athlete, QOTSA, metallica, led zep or phil collins and Toonraider will be straight on it. i sure will My god, i cant keep up with all this 'new' music! Since i started this thread i have really got into Sigir ros, i mean i adore them, so thank you all for that, to think i was missing out on them all that time

I love Metallica saw them on the snake pit tour. I prefer their earlier stuff, master of puppets and ride the lightening being my favourite albums. So what metal did you have in mind then? Im patial to it but dislike the thrash stuff.

The band with the large girl singer? I thought they were pretty good, i liked her voice.
