    I'm hoping that it's less chavvy in the winter...

    Are you going diving overthere?

      It's not a diving holiday as such.

      But I do happen to be taking mask, fins, computer, hood ('tis winter after all...) and QRB, just in case...

        Rusky Chavs at that! I was down for a weeks diving a few weeks ago and it was incredible - 90% of the arrivals hall at Sharm was full of big fat tatooed drunk russians. Some of the blokes were pretty bad too.

          Be careful walking around in Tenerife late at night, there have been a spate of muggings recently.
          The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

          But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                  No the Holiday was OK, and I now have the Kudos of saying I fought off a bottle wielding mugger. He did stab me though before I kicked his head in.

                    So, in a word, yes ?

                    Where did he stab you ?

                      It was on the last day, He stabbed me in the back, didn't even know he had done it until I felt the blood gushing. Still he started with it against my juggular, so I can't complain really.
