Just been to town for important stuff like stamps, cards etc. I did remember to buy new cleats. Very important.

Mrs P has agreed to take me to the pub tonight.
But will she take you home again? Or will it be the towpath :rolleyes:

I got stuck on that ferry for in 2005 on the way back from my mates stag weekend in Dublin. It was the night of the 7/11 bombings in London.
Roughest crossing I've ever done anywhere....and I've done a few.
You could not stand without holding on to something. I went to the bar, bought a pint of Guiness and got to my seat with a quarter of a pint - and, no I didn't drink it on the way!
We tried to have a full breakfast, but it was impossible to keep a plate on the table.
We had to wait outside Holyhead harbour for 12 hours, being tossed around like a cork, before the captain came over the Tannoy and said that if was going to 'make an attempt at getting in' .
It was a close run thing! :eek:
