  1. Paul knows fine well that I love fish, my favourites being salmon, rainbow trout, sole and smoked haddock or mackerel.

    I'm not so big on squid and eel and crustaceans though. Paul will sit about eating packets of crab sticks. It's not right.

  2. I've given up pretending I don't like Big Brother. I always end up watching it although I never vote and I don't want to end my life if I miss an episode or two. But it's definately addictive stuff. Plus it doesn't help that my mother phones ALL the time to remind me it's on.

  3. Templar's is indeed a fantastic place to camp. However' date=' it is a scout campsite, and is therefore not suitable for such a drunken gathering (especially since, even if you book it correctly, (i.e - if you're a member of a scout group or similar organisation) there is a no alcohol policy) I'm an explorer scout leader, and use the site quite regularly, and one of the main problems on the site is unauthorised people using it.

    Apart from the obvious child protection issues (drunkards making a noise in the middle of the night could be quite terrifying for any cubs/younger scouts camping), unauthorised campers have in the past vandalised equipment, made huge fires and broken into buildings - all of which spoil the site for those who are supposed to benefit from it.

    I'm sure that none of the users of this board have ever done such scummy things, but please, don't consider using Templars for any camping unless you are there officially. There is onsite staff who check the grounds regularly, and if you're found camping there when you shouldn't be, you will be thrown off site - even if it's in the middle of the night.

    Oh cheers for letting me know that! I did have a feeling that you couldn't just camp there whenever you fancied and the time I went there was just in the middle of the night once to eat some cakes and have a wander about. It was so cool though.

  4. I read an article about this lady and I think it's a really nice idea. Not all old people are crazy or mean and I think that society these days generally lacks respect for the elderly. 3 out of 4 of my grandparents live quite close by fortunately but I know that lots of people move away and old people get left with little company.

    Best of luck to you! I hope you find somebody really nice who appreciates your concern.

  5. I can't believe some of the arguements people are making with regards to this thread.

    I think about 2% of people in the world could tell you accurately on a daily basis how much money they have in their account(s).

    The problem with using debit cards is that different places take different amounts of time to take money from your account, therefore, you may well think you have more money than you actually do.

    Even people who work for banks (I'm soon to be one of them) I'm sure would agree that the charges are unreasonable and I'm pretty sure that people who end up overdrawn by miniscule amounts are mostly just blaming the banks for their own mistake anyway. It's an easy thing to do.

  6. I'm always really surprised when people moan about their banks doing shit like this because I've never had any problems with mine. I actually just got a job with RBS although I haven't started yet. They have a policy where if you go overdrawn and make sure that you've put money back in to cover the cost by 3.30 that day, then you won't be charged for going overdrawn. I think a lot of people don't know about it though.

  7. Yeah that's the one. We went out there a couple of months ago to visit the Knights Templar graveyard which was really spooky because it's so old that the tops of all the tombs are coming off. Templar Park is cool though because it's got massive sand dunes which mean that you're a bit sheltered from wind but it's grassy enough to put tents up.

    No sea to cool your beer in though.
