Just out of interest.......

[jennie]

im in the middle of planning my gap year (around surfing of course) and was wondering does anyone actually come to britain to surf.....?

i just think that so many other places are more appealing, why would people come to britian?

[k mac]

fish 'n' chips ?

[moncho]

a proper cup of tea! can't get that anywhere else in the entire world

[k mac]

a qoute from snatch

Where?
London.
London?
London.
London?
Yes, London. You know, fish, chips, cup o' tea. Bad food, worse weather. Mary fu**in' Poppins. London!

how about a journey around the whole of the British coastline? (suggestion not a proposition )
in a camper van?
think spring would be a good time(weather and all that)
bet there is some beautiful unsurfed places...

id rather live in london than hawaii. not to surf though. but if surfing is your whole life then move to molokai in hawaii. i guess you wouldnt catch my sarcasm unless youre from hawaii. molokai has got to be one of the boringest most isolated places on earth.

Oh I dont know... Britain has its moments....

[tautologies]

chips'n curry

beer and sex and chips and gravy (it's all a macclad wants).

..it does sound interesting to surf in England though...apart from having to get a wetsuit...

England may not be the best place in the world for surfing, but surfing against a backdrop of awesome coastline that's a different matter.

Also if you expand it to Great Britain & Ireland, then you have a choice of some truly world class spots.

Also, if you want some serious history in your gap year, then England is a fascinating place to visit!!

Wow, got all serious there for a minute - sorry everyone!!

[oldiebeginner]

know where your coming from sinista...
as you can see from my last post, you know what i'd do with a year off

[Weebl]

I would rather go to the UK than hawaii, thats because I love your wilderness, coastline and of course your fleshin' tasty tea... (And your breakfasts... seriously, I love how your breakfasts consist of triangle potatoe things, beans, eggs and toast. Mmmmmmmmmm...)

[k mac]

triangle potatoe things

??? eh

and you missed bacon,and black puddin'!!!!!

[moncho]

triangle potatoe things

Hash browns! Have you never heard of these little triangles of joy? Get in ma belleh

[sinistapenguin]

Ahhhh, Black pudding

What other country in the world eats a sausage made of congealed pigs blood for breakfast!!???

Yummy:

[gulfsurfer]

Is that stuff good? Doesnt look much different then normal sausage, but pigs blood?

[jennie]

hell yer......black pudding is the best!

a black pudding sandwich with tonns of ketchup is my only hangover cure

Moncho: "little triangles of joy"

the only way to describe them![/quote]

[gulfsurfer]

Oh i always thought that the best hangover cure was just to start drinking again.

[Weebl]

Hint: The best hangover cure is to drink at least 1 glass of water before passing out... try it, it works.


I never had the balls to try black pudding while visiting the UK...

Those little triangles of joy do rock though...

[sinistapenguin]

My best hangover cure:

- At least a pint of water before collapsing.
- A full english breakfast at the Fistral Chef in Newquay, inc heavily sugared tea.
- Straight out into the sea for a session.

It's the only way to fly!!

[drowningbitbybit]

My hangover cure...

1) Lay in bed feeling like death for hours,
2) Goto (1) until human,
3) attempt to stand/shower/eat,if world or stomach is wobbly go back to (1)
4) Attempt something constructive, perhaps even surfing.
5) Give up, return to (1).




Im good at hangovers
So I really try (with varying levels of success) to avoid them!
