    Farnborough

    Have to go to Farnborough to do some work next week, looks a bit boring but I bet someone here can provide a hint or two, tia...(Canary Wharf in two weeks, what a lucky bugger I am)
    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

    Its a bit of a tuliphole!
    Lots of the defence industry moved out about 15 years ago but remnants and the odd squaddie remain. Depends what you want? Holiday Inn Express with a side order of the Golden Arches for dinner looking out over the car park at a teenage pregnancy problem? Yep Farnborough good for that! The Ritz with a side order of Michelin star looking out over pastoral and idyllic rivers, fields and meadows? Commute from somewhere else!

            Mudskipper you still in Fleet? Both you and I are just down the road. Maybe we can arrange to meet darmstadt and then mug him for his contracting £££££

              It does indeed have an airport, but you do have to provide your own plane. Not sure if that helps.
              His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

                  Why did I read that as Backwater?

                  Ahh cos that's how I feel every time I've worked in that area....

                    Got a bit of a suntan stuck in a traffic jam on the Brussels ring road and then got rained on in Kent, is that a metaphor for something? Well my hotel isn't too bad at all, reasonably posh in fact: Luxury Hotel, Restaurant, Bar, Wedding & Event Venue | Aviator (aviatorhampshire.com)

                    The other, which was also recommended was booked out but is not quite as classy albeit nearer to where I'm plying my trade: Village Hotel Farnborough | Hotel In Hampshire With A Pool (village-hotels.co.uk)

                    Now to find a curry house....
