Hols. And Factions.

Foreword.
Readers from Margate, don't panic!
If you read the title again, using your finger this time, you'll realise that this isn't a post about mathematics at all. It's about drunkenness and violence, so you're safe to read on.

Well that's it for another year then!
My anal holiday spent lazing on a Mediterranean beach during the day and howling down a Mediterranean toilet during the wee small hours, with all the usual malarky between.

Though I may have to rethink the concept of visiting Lloret-De-Mar during their 'donkey derby' week, as they don't appear to have quite the same level of respect for the poor creatures as us Brits!
But it was educational too, as I hadn't previously realised that donkeys could run backwards or jump so high into the air.
I think I may have found that almost as bemusing as the donkeys did!

But even more disturbing was a level of gang warfare that made King Street seem like an attractive place to return to!
Not a day went by without witnessing either some kind of clash of the clans, a tourist being mugged or, oddly, someone having their hair set on fire.

Hailing from where I do, I couldn't honestly say that I felt I was 'getting away from it all'!

I may go to Bournemouth next year.

Hello

We like your blog - would you be interested in an occasional contribution to IsleOne?

Thanks.

Not really, thanks. I think you've probably got enough on your hands with Mr Sellout, Eastcliff Richard.
But do feel free to post comments here, if you'd like a little exposure.

Mr Sellout? Come round here and say that!

Perhaps if I offered you some money, you'd come round here? :-)

No need to worry about selling out as we didn't plan to offer you any money.
