I go dappy when my blood sugar gets low and (very) crouchy when tired.

can't argue with that, recon I might suffer the same condition ;o)

Choccie cake and chainsaws is a mix to cheer most blokes up I'd have
thought.

still don't explain how I ended up cakeless though. I'll have to tell her to
get a bigger box full next time ;o)

In a hotel that charges £150 per person per week, half board, and then
offers all you can eat at breakfast and evening meal....... Are you
surprised??? Can't even get BnB for a week for that price in this
country....

I did try everything to keep the weight off, including Raki... Beware
if you attend a show and come over for a drink next year, I have
litres of the stuff!

Mind, less than £120k buys a 3 bedroom place in 750 square metres of
land and 30 olive trees... And that includes all the moving costs,
legal fees and taxes.... Just a bloody long way to come in a 101
dragging the GLASS show trailer!

Anyone want to buy a 2 bed house 10 miles from Peterborough in a quiet
rural town?

tempting. could buy that and have some change to put in the bank... Just
need to persuade the parents that moving to cyprus (it was Cyprus, wasn't
it?) and growing olives is a good idea.

ah yes, good point. Nemmind, perhaps the Turks will shoot him. Crete it
is, then. afl Crete wing, anyone?

Actually, I quite fancy Portugal, meself. I'm reasonably partial to the
main product... don't speak the lingo, mind, but that could be remedied. I
gather there's some quite good offrading to be had...

If I went away, and came back at 12st, none of mine would fit either.

Not for the same reason, however.
