What a week to have off as a holiday

[Accy cyclist]

Where's yer sense of adventure. Those wide open spaces, waiting to be explored.*

*Should the rain stop..

Are we on about holidaying in Clitheroe or eating slugs?

Both. You catch your breakfast each day.

Dredge them in egg, and then in bread crumbs.
Deep fry in oil until golden brown, and serve while hot.
Classic Escargot -
Let your snails/slugs purge themselves in a container of damp lettuce for 24 hours.
Bring one cup of water or white wine to a boil in a large saute pan, and pour in 2 cups of snails.

Deep fried banana slugs

Don't knock it 'til you try it.

I tried it once...I'm going to knock it anyway . One of the only foodstuff items I spat out my mouth in disgust.... TBF, I do wonder if the ones I tried had gone off

I was planning to go for a ride today, possibly to Tübingen and hopefully further afield.

This morning it's pishing it down with rain despite promises made by the weather forecast.

Now I'm all grumpy...

Closed in 2015 but exciting news - it appears to have reopened and has had a revamp - perhaps its time for another visit!

Looks like they've sharpened up their act.......

Lidl are doing arc welders for £40 at the moment. Buy an angle grinder and you could full on attack the scrap sculpture genre!

Could be useful. With the current weather I may need to build an arc...

Was on holiday in Bath last week and the weather wasn't great. Relaxing but we could've stayed at home and done the same things - much cheaper too!

£14.50 for a large Sauvignon Blanc and a pint of Lager (Amstel) Shandy is a bit steep.

Gone off where ? Gone off piste ? Gone off for a walk, well mooch then ? Gone off the whole idea ? Where ever they had gone off to would`nt be far away at their speed !

I think the cheap flights bit puts folk off. It means to put it bluntly, the serious possibility of pissed up idiots misbehaving on those 2 to 3 hour cheap flights. Having some drunken moron asking you for a fight or threatening to open the plane's door would put me off flying on 'cheap flights'.

Never had an experience like that ever, in 30 years of "cheap" flights.

Nor me.

It's that Daily Fail influence for you.

This has to be the crappest summer ever. it's June yet it feels like October. Only about 14 Celsius and grey skies to add to the misery! Climate change 'experts' have got it wrong...AGAIN!!

I won't be knocking it any time soon then

There are reports of this kind of behaviour in most newspapers. Obviously you only see what you want to see.
