Prickly, I hope it was dumped in the right bin, or you could be fined for being a Litter Lout. :-D :-D :-D

20 odd years ago when the children were little and we were on holiday on Guernsey, my OH decided it would be fun to walk over to Lihou Island which is a very small island separated from the main Guernsey coastline at high tide but accessible by walking across a causeway at low tide. I hate walking (but OH loves it) but the kids wanted to go so off we trooped.

When we got there I discovered a dolls house museum and shop etc and I was so taken by this that a new hobby was born. I now have a collection of dolls houses, miniatures, room boxes, etc, etc. and attend every dolls house fair I can.

He wanted to walk and explore on that holiday (as he does on all holidays) but I think he now regrets the suggestion he made that day . . .

How about a Spanish political rally where everyone is speaking in Catalan, not even Spanish.
Takes some beating in the boredom stakes.

when my hubby worked away they usually put him in 4* hotels
but when he was sent to Eassinton Hull
due to the lack of a hotel he was put in a caravan park
there was nothing there except the caravan park and the stoney beach
i went down to stay for a week
it was the worst place ever even the pizza shop was 7 miles away
the high light of my week was scrubbing the caravan out
as there was nothing else to do even polished the ceiling
you even had to get up before 8 am every morning
if you wanted to grab a newspaper from the caravan park shop
as they only got about 3 papers delivered
and if they sold out
you had to walk 3 miles in to the village for a paper
another high light was walking round the grave yard
looking at grave stones
now i dont mind that if i am looking for an old family member
but none of my lot came from Hull so was right boring
THANK GOD his days of working away are now a thing of the past

Chris.
Sorry to say it´s his idea of a good night out.
Personally. given the choice i would rather stay in & watch Barcelona play a match..........& that comes a pretty close 2nd in the list of things I´d rather not do.

Marion - as one wife to another - have you ever considered giving him a Mickey Finn, tying him to the bed and going out for an evening with George Clooney or similar????? No one would blame you dear.

Had hopes for Antonio Banderas but I´ve never seen him in Menorca unfortunately.
