Now we've decided to forego this summer's holiday in favour of a full tribal fortnight 'round the med on one of them there boats next year :oops: .

Should have seen what went on with our school band trips... They were pretty much week-long benders abroad! Always funny when you can drink your teachers under the table :shock: :lol:
