I blame it on those wicked Tory Cuts!

 

Whas goin orn at centre Parcs?

Hope everyone's safe n sound there.

Bah!

 

Any recommendations for reasonably priced B&B anywhere between Blakeney and Cromer greatly appreciated. Looking for a double room with en suite in early August for 1 night.

You could try the White Horse on West St Cromer who I believe are either £40 or £45 a night.
Good food served (except Sunday evenings + Mondays) and 2 minutes from town centre and the coasthopper bus stop.
Pretty decent crowd of regulars, too, all clamouring for the very fine Abbot / Ghost Ship / Fox Gold.

And you'll be delighted to know you can even multitask :

Contact details here though sadly, Ken is no longer with us

Thanks Dave and Cromer. I'll have a look at both those and I like the idea of Blakeney and probably go to the Wheatsheaf at West Beckham for a meal.
Afternoon tea at Pretty Corner Tea Rooms!!!

 

New Olympic event - synchronised bullshitting.

 

Whoever compiled this list is talking absolute Bollox!!

I'd like to say 'under the radar' but it's way too late for that - Norfolk is currently awash with Jonny foreigner all driving Chelsea tractors. I'll wager Suffolk is not too far behind.

 

I swear you can't help but will him each time!

 

Found myself nodding sagely in agreement with this.
I went to Bulgaria a few years back and stayed in the UNESCO city of Nessebar on the black sea coast (no, don't ask...long story) which was ace. But 3 km along the shore was the disco / cocktail high-rise sprawl of the abomination known as Sunny Beach - 4 girls on my flight heading there all wore matching t-shirts saying 'tits on tour'
The list is growing, Magaluf, Tallinn, Prague, Dublin, they've all had their share of Brits behaving badly (and thinking it's fun for everyone) so good to see Cyprus saying enough is enough.
I hope others follow suit.
Other Europeans can spend just as many euros in those places without the urinating, vomiting menacing laddish culture that seems to plague younger Brits.

Reading through this, I was tut-tutting away waiting for the 'Brexit' word to appear.
Well, it eventually did, but is not to blame for this airport chaos [yet!! ]
But, oh, it will be in two years time, when the UK is no longer a part of the pan-European 'open skies' policy, you mark my words

This made me smile very broadly

 

Cracked it!

 

Well done Mo!!!

 

Combines are mowing down the corn in the field out the back of mine. With the Sun shining, and the Abbey in the near distance.

 

Bolts final ever 100m final coming up!

 

I wonder if he'll have a better second half than first?
It's all the rage to do so, you know

 

Combines don't mow - they cut!!!
Have you got your ticket for Tuesday yet??
Area L row O and I'll post my table number in the Bell beforehand, should be there from about 5.30
