Yup, that is festival place... Need something. Different. Been to Viables craft centre lately? Or any of the farm shops locally? Or any of the more quaint little places around the area? What is it that you need Perry? "It's just so unfair !!!" Isn't it, just like any other town...

Fancy coming to the parachute place later, or the ice rink, or either of the pools, or pitch and putt, or full golf at one of the many coursed? Or we could hit. Country pub, or if you would,prefer, weather spoons? Then maybe we could jog it off around any of the athletic centres around the area, or a walk alongside the basingstoke canal at Odiham. Or maybe a bike ride through the Candovers?

Actually, can't do that as I need to finish a bit of work and then I have to get prepped for the invasion of the neighbours this weekend. It's our wedding anniversary and they all want to get together to celebrate with a lot of booze and a BBQ when we gat back from the Bournemouth airshow. Looks like a good weekend, I am glad we have some supermarkets locally to stock up.

Enjoy your weekend too.
Is there a big "Swinging scene" there and are you involved?

All this neighbour stuff is making me suspicious.

They do (apparently) have a ski simulator at the parachuting place; and to be honest for a kids party its likely to be more practical than throwing them out of a plane.

The best free running academy is in Basingstoke. Something that I intend to take my son to when he gets a little older. And just down the road from that we have a rather tidy indoor karting circuit.
Thanks for that. I actually haven't been, there is just so much else to do in the area. Might give it a go sometime with the grandkids.

Heh heh, I wish. To be fair, I am married to someone who used to be a neighbour, so maybe there is something in it wink

It is probably the one living in the pile of pizza boxes between the remote control and the Xbox in your bedroom.

Yes, but much less satisfying.

Personal insults.
True colours at last. Well done. Proves my point perfectly.

"Just outside Bournemouth" isn't Bournemouth, is it?
Just like "not far from Basingstoke" isn't Basingstoke.
Actually it is. As we walk along, you see the sign saying welcome to Poole.
That's fking Poole then isn't it?!
Ye gods man.
banghead
Not if you sit the Bournemouth side of the sign. Try to keep up.
How about the suburbs of Bournemouth that aren't strictly named as Bournemouth then? Instead of Bournemouth Beach (vicinity of the pier), head east to Southbourne.... still Bormuff, but better. wink

Derby - not as crap as you'd think.
My lasting memory of Derby (from being on training courses with Software AG) is too much choice in curry houses. We'd walk for mile after mile hunting for that perfect meal. Turned out the best one was right next to the hotel.
