Yes, I’m thinking fish and chips in Whitby.

Oh sorry mate, I thought that was his.

Yeah Whitby Fish and Chips would be a must… Sherlock Holmes Cafe is good for a brew

I have been requested to give him a "quick lift" to Middlesbrough Lol, I'm in Leeds and even I don't consider Middlesbrough to be a 'quick lift' sort of journey :lol: I get that from time to time from my MIL - Sunday afternoon around 15:30 to 16:00. "Would I mind popping down to Plai...

Rich is right - it was utter tripe...

I think Merc are the only one of the main brands where "Black Series" is a technology and performance moniker rather than a trim level. (their Black Trim options is Night Edition) https://www.mercedes-amg.com/en/home/stories/Black-Series-History.html#:~:text=Ralf%20Sporr%20(RS)%3A%20In,cre...

Another mates Dad ran the ones in Ghana

We’re all connected to Guinness in some form…

The Antisocial Network On Netflix

Very interesting documentary on the growth of internet disinformation from the birth of 4Chan through Anonymous through QAnon and Storming the Capitol

Surely the Guinness in Uganda and also in Ghana comes from the Breweries in Ghana (where all of Africa’s Guinness is made) ;) Mates Dad was head of Quality Control at James Gate (worked his was up from Bottle washer) - O Connors was his opinion. But you’re right about the lines - shorter the lines t...

Gus O’Connors pub in Doolin in Clare serves the best pint of Guinness in the world.

And that’s a confirmed fact

I mostly enjoy Guiness and as the pub three doors down from me won the best Guiness award by the brewery, I typically just wander into there when thirsty. Don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it, don’...

I've also done 3 weeks driving around Queensland and New South Wales before we had kids - booked nothing, just rolled into town and found places to stay etc. I'm 100% with you on the roundtrips.

Anyone heard from him at all ? As he was a Cancer survivor, I do wonder if he's still with us...

We were somewhat constrained by the nipper in that we couldn't do any stint of more than 2 or 3 hours without a break as it's not good for small children to be in a car seat for that long. But we settled into a rhythm with it. Leave after breakfast - Drive for 3 hours. Stop for lunch for a few hours...

I drove 2500 miles through France and Northern Italy over 3 week with a 9 month old in the back in a Vauxhall Zafira.

one of the best holidays ever - I can't explain it either

Korean, subtitles. Simple love story. But not.

Some beautifully awkward scenes, dripping in warmth and stifled emotion.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. 8.5 12-year gaps out of 10 for me.

I saw a trailer for that and it looked good - will check it out
