Anyone got plans for over the summer? Where's folks going on their holibags? Who you going with?

Post us some photos as well when you get back!

I'm off up north at the end of June with some mates. Last week it was looking like it was gonna be crap, its suddenly just started looking like it has potential to be fun...

Up North? But you live up north, how much further can you go up?

Nah, I don't do holidays. I'll just be working in a very quiet, unpleasantly warm office.

No no, there is a whole load more up north.

And I go right up to the top - any further and I get wet.

Any reason? I love going on holiday!

My boss went to Scotland camping once and went past our Cumbernauld office (which is a good five hour drive from here, as long as the traffic's good and you ignore the speed limit). When he got there he was only half way!

Alas, I won't be getting a holiday this year, but that's because I need to save some money to move into a place. So not all is bad.

Another five hours past Cumbernauld will take you close to where I'm talking about - it takes us about 6 hrs including stops.

I'm up there a fair bit - my sis is there at the moment as well.

Mrs Ballbag and I will be visiting your homeland in the next few weeks, armed with a tent, some clean pants and some tins of beans. We intend to have a splendid time.

The land where the balls swing freely, and Unfeasably large gonads are the Norm, where balls are balls, and women are grateful, Hove I would guess

Wherever it's sunny. Depends how high up we get, but our journey will be somewhat of a loop.

If I thought you would go anywhere near a sect I wouldn't come and see you anyway.

What kind of buns? I like buns.

I'm going to Glastonbury and Portugal within the same month. However, at Glastonbury i'm going to be spending some of the time working on the lock-ups and part of the time in Portugal is spent with in-laws, who think i'm too English and don't approve of my not eating meat. Hopefully the weather will be good anyway.
