    I actually live in the North End of the Seagulls ground so, providing they're drawn away the week-end of our jaunt, I've got room for around 35000 :D That's how I got the lawn mower, cuz the footies 'borrowed' it from the county cricketers next door about three months ago :shhh: If I remember tho, the amusements on the Pier were burned down a couple of years back but there's a little fair up towards the Marina.

    Now--are we actually doing a theme this time, cuz I could easily pass as Demis Roussos in a dark place, or get my Aladdin Sane star suit out of mothballs..I adore/d Monsewer Bowie *sighs in day-dreamy way*..hhmmm. Glam Rock was never a good look on me, so I may stick to a Suzy Quatro set of black leathers & look like a beached whale
    instead :rotfl:

    Yesterday was indeed No 3 for me :T but we've run out of that blasted fruit & veg again :angry: The freezer needs defrosting & a shelf repairing in the cupboard which is another reason for being so keen to join Taka on a stored grub challenge, but we all know how devilish those pesky shops are once they've enticed you inside :( Ah well--can't be helped I s'pose...

    Blimey I think I might have more trouble keeping up with this thread than I wil lin reaching my NSD target.

    I went to Brighton in March, but the pier closed early so wasn't allowed to play on the amusement machines after I'd had a drink, very disappointing, after all everyone is always much more competative after a drink :D.

    Nargle you can go sans costume if you like but I think I'll pack mine and stay away from that pebble wall that hides an assortment of dangly and wobbly bits :eek::eek:.

    I have something to return to Aldi today and will get a tenner in cash. If I spend no more than that can I have it as a NSD (pleeeeese :D).

    Hi taka :hello:, how are you?
