sorry no webbed feet here

Maybe it's the radiation which is keeping them away!

Mel

Well, either that or its just the smell of the

That's enough to keep away anything with any olfactory sense!

Mel

Which is one very good reason why no one normal* can understand why anyone whould want to live in Lowestoft!

I think I've only been to Lowestoft once..... very strange place!

Mel

Once* is more than enough, and I was born there most people who go there later say it was an accident arriving there, and they never intended to go or, at least they wish that were the case

Now I quite liked Lowestoft, its a bit like visiting another country. I used to go to school with a boy in Norfolk who had six fingers on each hand, I only mention this to even up the Suffolk/Norfolk mutant count in the spirit of fairness. Come the next Hospital Cup perhaps we can get the EDP to run a competition for 'biggest wave' or the 'fastest through water only using your feet' competition to find some more.

something frightening happened today: I found out that next term I'm on placement at school in Lowestoft: just when I thought I'd escaped the place, I find myself inexplicibably drawn back, through no fault of my own; Lowestoft is a little like that; a balck hole for ever sucing you inwards Oh well, farewell Cambridge for the current time, see ye in a few months : I'll pop to cambridge some weekends though; too much hastle to sell my house here I'll keep it on or at least I think I will, i think i need to work out the finances a little more accuratly

How strange, now Cambridge I can't stand, boring as anything, nothing to do

Mel

lots to do in Cambridge, lots more than Lowestoft certainly I'd think, having lived in both places well, in Lowestoft there are pubs and that is it actually, now i come to think of it, its not too bad a place, and it does have a lot of pubs, and beer is a lot cheaper but less god quality resturants, cafe's and the like no arts scene, university, but a lot more unemployment and more webbed feet, obviously

Ok for someone who has a kiddie streak, other than the cinema and the pool?

Mel

AFAIK there's a laser quest in Cambridge, too - somewhere near the Drummond Street bus station?

My sister always takes my kids there when they go over to stay on their own.

My obsecurity is guarenteed by being in Lowestoft, I think now all I have to do is find somewhere to live whilst I'm there I might just stay in a hotel for the placement, its only 3 months or so

have been trying to think of something positive to say about three months in Lowestoft, can only come up with 'not far from Walberswick', hope this helps

quite so...... Well, Its got a nice beach but probably not that much use during the months of coldness and winter when I shall be there

Apologies, am writing this from Australia, our problem at the moment is that the city is about to burn down! What we would do for some of that drizzle......

Walberswick. I remember going there when I was about 6. Sitting on the beach all day. All you had in those days to protect you from the sun was Nivea - an oily sunscreen stuff. Smelt awful. Took me about 30 years to ever buy any Nivea products again because of the memory of that smell!

Is that the place with the coloured cottages or did they disappear 30 years ago too?

Lowestoft beach and coastline is fairly stable, down a bit as I think may have been mentioned, they often loose houses, church's villages and roads to the sea, particularly I'm thinking of Coheith (spelt rong), and simular places, I might not now be going to Lowestoft after all I don't know what I'm doing, where I am ment to be moving to for the 6 january, or why I have to do it, or where I am going, or if I am going anywhere, or if I'll still be on the course, or if I'll not, or if I'll be in Lowestoft, Oulton Broad, Corton, Beccles, Pakefield, Burgh St Peter, Bungay, Barneby, Oulton, Newcastle, Brighton, Cambridge, Oxford, Glasgow, Isle of Mann, London, Loughborogh, Dunwich, Southworld, cardif, Wells next the Sea, Hunstanton, Bristol, southend, southport, Bermingham, Bridlington, St Helan's, Richmond stability, is what we need!
When do we want it?
NOW!
What do we want?
Stability!
When do we want it?
NOW! sorry my life appears to be falling to pieces, normal service will be restored as soon as is plausible

Stay calm now, we east anglians aren't used to confusion, once upon a time there was just a pub a church and fields to worry about, try imagining a Massey Ferguson ploughing a nice straight furrow through a damp peaty field.

i find difficult to calm be when we have all this tricity and things around me and stuff and puters and telaphones and gadgets I dint understand, oh I ate technology
