    Tell me about it! My last three have been nightmares! Fell off a wall and ended up injured for the rest of the holiday on one, had no heating and the multi-fuel stove wouldn't work properly on another and I caught a cold, and the latest one I caught a cold again, couldn't be bothered with the fire and had to resort to spending all day in the pub to keep warm (is that a plus point, though?!). Can't wait for next trip...

    That's how I spent my first year of retirement -- I think. I don't really remember .

    I'm in a straight razor buying frenzy at the moment...
    CARL! CARL MALO SCHNEIDER! STEP AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD! THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

    Hee hee, I remember when you first posted here, and strenuously (STRENUOUSLY) insisted that you'd only ever need three razors. We all thought you were so cute.

    Seriously, happy shopping. I look forward to seeing your latest scores. What are you looking for in your current frenzy?

    Miller or SRP?

    GO!
    The only obvious answer is one of each ..... and then add more of each as time goes by .....

    I was only in there for 6 hours one day, 13 hours the next and 11 hours the next (got up late for some reason?), so I didn't manage the full non-stop 58 hours of talking utter nonsense like dear old King George. I have noted a distinct downhill trend after 4 hours, though, followed by the irritating phenomenon of knowing one is speaking nonsense but unable to do anything about it at around the 6 hour mark but this gets made up for to some extent by being almost incapable of speech after 9 hours or so.

    Swings and roundabouts, as they say...
