    I've just thought ... is DA sharing this with us because we're the only mates he's got?
    My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

        Use vinegar if it's a box jellyfish (any acid will do, a diluted H2SO4, sulphuric acid is probably best. If it's an Atiguan sprinter, use caustic soda. Always carry a biro pen, in case you need an emergency trachaeotomy, and make sure you tell your mates/partner to pull you out of the water with a wooden paddle if you fall unconcious.
        Thats in case you get hit by an electric eel, it may still be attached and the currents can get quite strong out there

              Does choosing to holiday in Antigua make one suicidal?

                  Bless. Just don't go off on any unauthorised tours, don't get pissed, and don't do anything stoopid.
                  Then you'll be fine.


                  Probably.

                      Antigua

                      Never been, but been to Barbados and heard they are pretty similar so with that caveat here goes.

                      I booked a reasonably priced hotel in Barbados which was an absolute sh * thole. Drinks in plastic cups, cracked tiles, mouldy rooms, toothless American proles flirting with the staff, and I have had better meals at boarding school.

                      Out and about in Barbados was OK, most of the people where nice but really dodgy fellers everywhere who dont get that while on holiday I am not interested in buying smack.

                      I found the coastline overexploited (on the tourist side) , and the beaches small and washed away.

                      In general, unless you pay top top dollar, you will have a pretty mediocre holiday which will burn a big hole in your wallet.

                      Unless I can afford Mustique I wont be going to the Carribbean again
