Where to? Sounds a lot.... they do discourage single travellers by pricing per car.

Been looking at all routes from mainland to IoW.

Its a few years since I've been to a festival, and I'm not sure I can carry all my stuff any more.

Have just found that you can book a 'through' train ticket to the IoW - that would be £72 return, change once in London then change onto a Catamaran at the coast. Plus I might be able to swap some clubcard vouchers/ get some cashback. Total journey time from here approx 4 hours.

Get googling. You might have to move into the shed for a week.

I'm waiting for my letter, but skim read an information sheet about this long in the appointment today.

Read 'can drive your self' and almost dies with pleasure. After. Very difficult week where non resident parent was not talking to me (after a difficult call on the day of my 4rse filming and sedation) they decided to stage an intervention today and turned up to drive me to the hospital today. Not wanting to be rude and sort of relieved to hear from non res. p I accepted. On the way non res p shot no fewer then four red light s (didn't see them. Might not have been so bad if driven a bit faster. Then the ultimate moment was when they tried to turn right on to a roundabout.

I broached the subject that non res p is going to have to give up car before they kill someone other than themselves. Don't suppose I'll from them for a while again now.

All this BBQ/food talk made me wonder..... do NPs eat bigger portions than me? I know, at a BBQ, with unlimited food, we'd all tuck away a good 8 things..... before being unable to move or ever want to even mention food again, but what's a "normal portion" when you're mentally planning to eat/feed?

Here's mine:

Sausages: 2
4oz Burgers: 1
Fish fingers: 2-3 (brain says 2, eyes say 3)

That looks to me like about 10-12oz meat which is quite a lot IMHO although probably normal at a barbie.

When I cook a barbie I tend to go for those Jamie Oliver style dishes of a piece of meat rubbed with herbs/spices and olive oil. Butterflied leg of lamb with lemon, garlic, thyme, oregano and olive oil is great IMHO.

A fair amount of the time Aussies do a 'bring your own meat' barbie. I love that if I get to cook it too but it bugs the hell out of me if I bring some decent meat only for some wuck fit to destroy it.

Oooh, near pasturesland, except there are two departure ports and you're probably at the far/other one.

Oh. This one checks you are not having bile salt malabsorption. (Which I think CAN happen in celiac, but I might well be wrong. ).

I'm sure you aren't wrong, but I don't know if she had it or not. My Dad's currently in the process of being diagnosed as a Coeliac, and was disgusted to be told how interesting and unusual it was to develop it in his 60s. No-one wants his lawyer / doctor to find his situation interesting, he says, it leads to endless trouble.

Well, it's 2 fish fingers and something. e.g. 200grams of oven chips and 1/3rd of a 410g tin of beans. Or in a baguette with some salad cream.

Isaac usually has 4-5 fish fingers, with rice or pasta, and peas / sweetcorn / spinach / broccoli, and some peppers.

I was listing 3 meals... not one. All the piggies seemed to think the 3 meals' worth was OK/normal though.

At a BBQ my rule is: eat as much as you can until you burst, then wait 10 minutes and find a morsel....

My list was for "normal meal cooking/eating".

New lesson: don't take decent meat to BBQs. Also stops anybody wanting to nick it.

Needs chips and beans.... that's verging on child abuse. Fish fingers, chips and beans (or peas). Food of the Gods.

The sit down wees only for the first 24 hours will be because most of it will exit you via your urine within that time. I guess that makes sure most of it goes down the loo instead of being sprayed around the bathroom

According to wikipedia (therefore it must be true) the effective dose is 0.26 milliSieverts and normal UK background radiation is 1-3 milliSieverts per year - that doesn't sound like a huge increase to me (as I said, all figures from Wikipedia so they might be completely made up).

I've looked at 3 ports... the current front runner is furthest away from you (I think).
