More games! (sort of).
Because I'm a brain wrong simpleton. And despite reading all the reviews. I spent all* day trying to buy a Playstation classic (that mini copying Nintendo thing).
Could I find one on the high street**? No. No I could not. All I wanted to do was play Syphon Filter*** in my hotel room tonight.
What with this, Junckers**** Euro car park stasi assault on Tenthen, and the fact that I saw a straight banana in Tesco today : Brexit Now!
* I went to cex, argos and Game on my lunch break
** I don't have time to wait for online delivery, I'm very busy
*** not a euphemism
**** fnarr fnarr, "Junk", chortle

Don't talk to me about parking permits. I have just paid an £85 parking fine to the utter bastards at Euro Car Park. Brexit now.I feel sad for saying this; paragraphs are your friend. x They would have lent me 85 quid and never mentioned it again? |

I'm on a caravan park in Devon. It's rammed full of brummies, some in full bcfc kit, which made me think of this place. We are considering a day trip to Plymouth - is it worth it? Or are the tourist attractions outweighed by the possibility of getting murderised by MrTiddles ? Awroight! Have you been to Plymouth before? I suspect not or you would not go back. Nah it's ok for a visit. The Hoe is quite nice. Also I seem to recall the Barbican is ok. The centre itself is a bit post war shithole. Depending on where you are staying I'd recommend a visit to Lynton & Lynmouth if you've not been. Pretty twee and touristy. The FUNicular railway is pretty good. There's not masses to do but The Valley of the Rocks and Exmoor are pretty close. |

If you are in south east Devon I'd recommend the Beer quarry. It's not that interesting, some ok caves, but quarrying beer provided hours of amusement
Particularly after I'd had a beer in Beer.
Dartmoor is nice as is Totnes. I'd give Torquay a miss. Loads of much nicer places to go.

Getting murdered is preferable to spending too much time in Plymouth.

There used to be a place in Plymouth called Jakes. Did a decent post pub chicken curry baguette.
That's about all I can remember.

The mesh WiFi in our lodge isn't working. I've told them the error code and what needs done to fix it.
"Err. We'll reboot it at 9pm and see if that fixes it."
"It won't fix it. It needs a button on the access point held in for 8 secs" I said
Coincidentally the receptionist goes home at 9pm.
I can't get the fucker off the wall to do it myself without breaking it. Pah.

Plymouth, Plymouth...
First rule. Don't head West from the City centre, unless you are accompanied by Tiddles.
Second rule. Follow my wise words.
Torquay: Shit
Totnes: Shit, unless you are over 80 years old.
Plymouth: I can highly recommend visiting:-
Parade Antiques, 27 New Street, Barbican, PL1 2NB. (more like a museum, but they'll sell anything).
Royal William Yard, plenty of poncy Bistros and architecture. (Pro Tip - take a cab, you'll live longer).
That's it.

Also if you take a cab Mr Tiddles won't have to walk home alone.

Thanks for the Plymouth tips. I think I've been once before, catching a ferry on a school trip c.1987. On the ferry, my schoolmates covered my face in toothpaste after I made the mistake of falling asleep, so the city holds fond memories. We're going to give Tavistock a go tomorrow, as it sounds quaint as fuck.

I stopped through there once on a cycling trip a few years ago, making a citizen's arrest (can you call it that if you're with an off duty policeman?) on a guy who pushed his girlfriend over a wall. He then continued whilst pinned to the floor, make racist comments about my Asian friend. Great story. |

To be fair that was just one person, there was an ok curry house and a pub with a giant beer garden. Nothing else was that memorable.

But other than that, I think what you're saying is that Rolling hasn't totally fucked up and isn't going to get murdered by some racist bumpkin in a tractor? Yes? |

Jakes is still there. Kept alive on student loans and leftover beer money.

Nah, i like it round here. I think Bloggie's been watching too much Hot Fuzz. Plus all these brummies wouldn't be here unless it was at least as good as Birmingham.

So Tuffers has gone mad, how can we support them? Club together to get a one-way ticket to Zürich? Give them the club, step away quickly and wait to see who wins. My money is on Tuffers 1; Tuffers 2, judging from his occasional posts, is a squatter from another universe.  See, without the club this'll take forever. Mind you, given that colour decor, give them both a club and go down the pub. (Just joking Tuffers, you were a much better spinner than Swannie and far, far wittier.) |
