It's quite a lovely spot as well there Pete... going to be remembered now for all the wrong reasons for one poor family


Yes agree, one year when we were there the 2 granddaughters and I went for a swim in the pool while the wife got dinner ready. There was a almighty storm  that came from nowhere and one lady was killed by a fallen tree in a nearby town we took refuge in the pool bar.
After it calmed down the wife came to pick us up in our car and when we got back to the caravan we could see all the crop in the field behind the caravan was totally flattened.  A scary 30 mins or so.

My son was in Cairo once and went into the bar in a hotel and there was another British person who happened to be from Grimsby.

When my son said I was from Cleethorpes and that he had been to Blundell Park the guy disbelieved him and he had to frantically remember the teams that he had seen - evidently Clive Mendonca was the first name he could come up with and he found he could still sing "Sing when we're fishing".

The rest of the people in the bar were evidently bemused

The fact your son had heard of Cleethorpes and knew where it was should have convinced him  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,

Apparently, on a large rock in the middle of the Atacama desert in Chile is scrawled the legend "Bobby Cummings eats Yorkies"


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Didn't he also do something to Nazis/Klaus Barbie? Or am I misrembering something from SWWF?
