    Have a look at "boatels". I am looking at going a month later and they look fab :D

    thanks to all, funny enough I did look at boatels, looks nice, bit different. Now any ideas for cheap flight? Tried lowcostholidays but is £114 each. We live in the midlands so ferries are out, as is I am sorry to say cheap booze!!! Cheap flights all seem to be London or Manchester and I need Birmingham.

    Hi all, can anyone help me with this please? We want to go to Amsterdam for a couple of days end of Feb or beginning of March as its OH GD 3rd birthday. Have spent all day looking but cant find anything that looks good. TIA

    Can't recommend a hotel but will say try not to book one thats on the tram line route or main roads, the noise in a city is a shock if your not used to it and these locations are 24/7 noise, I am booked into the Eden later this year but not been to it before.

    I know women who drink beer:D I am amazed a man would write such long posts:D

    I've mentioned at least twice previously (before tonight) that I'm male. Don't worry though as I've found and taken no offence. I've been trying now to find the main post where I said I'm a man - I can't it from my history anymore as that only goes back 300 posts and it was some time before. I have Googled around to try to find some of the words from my post or from those from others nearby before it that I was replying to at the time - I'd forgotten what the previous thread (before the last one and probably before the one before that) was called, but Google has pointed me to it - it was called "Encouraged Learning in Trading Excellence" (which I rather liked, as it summed it all up, what we are trying to achieve).

    I've found one post I made but not the main one. I've managed to isolate it to being somewhere in 200 consecutive pages within that thread. Eventually I'll find it and dig it up from the ether - you've triggered me off looking for it and I tend not to give up. So it might be referred to, or reappear, in a post by me in the next two weeks or one month.:rotfl::rotfl:

    I already mentioned, in the last hour or so, that the topic of shopping perhaps tends to appeal more to women than men. But this is one of my 'obsessional' narrow detailed specialist interests that it's suggested people with Asperger syndrome often display and often become experts in. Hence explaining my long posts. (I think from my point of view it's often a 'fear' - well, fear is too strong a word for it - but something like me feeling that, unless I give a complete picture, something will inevitably be misleading as I've left some important fact out. Thus why I go into detail, lest I be misunderstood - trying to make myself absolutely and precisely clear on every aspect but, in doing so, giving so much detail that it becomes confused and a mess for every normal reader reading (or attempting to.:rotfl:) It's not deliberate but more a habit instead, but perhaps a habit as a result of the syndrome.) (Using brackets within brackets - or more accurately, parentheses - is another aspect to it I feel.)

    Anyway, some of you love my going off on a tangent, so there we are. I'm sure there is lots more that I myself don't know (another aspect, which you didn't see and you wouldn't now know without me now explaining this to you: I had originally typed "...that I don't know myself" but then moved the position of the word "myself" as I thought the original version (..."...I don't know myself") was ambiguous. It happens quite often, when I'm writing or even speaking, as I, whether habitually or from some sort of pre-programming, always keep trying to be as accurate as possible.

    I'm sure there are lots of things I myself don't know - but, in addition to providing a possible explanation for long posts (including now this one!:rotfl:), it fits in - which you may or may not already know - with around three in four people with Aspergers being male. (It's currently thought by the common scientific consensus, as more and more people are diagnosed with different forms and different 'symptoms' - partly a difficulty since some of the 'symptoms' are just one extreme end of normality in some occasions.)

    As I have googled various search terms to try to find my "male" post (as opposed to mail, .... post):rotfl:, I've retrieved on my google some more information about Asperger's which I'm now going to go away from here and read, simply because, with my own brain set, I find it rather interesting... I find quite lot of academic stuff interesting. Be rested assured - it won't be posted all on here however, as it's not quite that relevant to this thread and all I'm saying it I find it interesting enough to go away and read as it happens to have come up on my search result. Call it easily distracted (into other things, i.e. besides and away from the shopping and money-saving topic of this thread, diverting me away from what I should (or 'should') be doing to help me and others shop even more savvily but, anyway, I have a variety of things that I'm doing in my life.) Check the drier then the pages that have been retrieved in the first results.

    So, for now, I'll wish you a good evening and say goodbye (except I'm probably just going briefly to respond to a post by David.) and then off elsewhere... (Not before time I hear the perhaps less-kind say!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: (includes myself):rotfl::rotfl:- more laughter.:T)
