What is Antigua like?

[pacharan]

I am off there on holiday

As a rule of thumb I tend to avoid ex British colonies and stick to French / Spanish ones instead. Better food, more vibrant culture and you can always get a decent cup of coffee. In the Caribbean, my island of choice would be St Martin. The French side, of course.

RC, dont get me started on the jellyfish. it still gives me nightmares.

Dodgy, make sure you get your jabs, boosters , booster back ups and atrapin tablets.

You might get 'bunged up' for a week or two, but at least that has the advantage that you wont get bitten in the rear by an Antiguan brown.

Flying out there should be safe enough.

They haven't had a fatal 'plane crash since 2004.

And that was some time after the 1987 fatal crash.

Unless the wheels fall off, like the 'plane last month.

(There were some other plane crashes, but it got depressing reading about them.)

Neither really, I was engaged a couple of ex's ago but only because he'd proposed in front of my whole family on xmas day. I went along with it all half heartedly for far too long before ending it.

I know, I'm a twat.
