Thanks mate, I must have missed your post.
It's not to bad a price per night so that seems good.

Good location for visiting Portsmouth and surrounding area. Site nice and quiet other than distant traffic and train noise. Site excellent but only one toilet was working in the gents block and it was empty of paper.

A nice site, well worth a visit but take your own loo paper or live to regret it.

Andrex it is!

Chewy, are you really younger than me ?! That's depressing, I don't like feeling old.

If I do go, then I vote for the 'travelling via Bristol' idea that was mentioned earlier as then I can follow someone. The satnav can be a bit temperamental, maybe it's got PMT and I should try changing it to a male voice or something.

Shaz we could meet up somewhere on the way. Are you going down Friday-Sunday?
BTW we really aren't as mental as we seem (well I'm not, just watch in case some fella called John K comes along)

I reckon if we meet up in Chievely services (M4/A34 junction) then there's no reason anyone should get lost...

Sounds good, can you post the post code so we all go the same place. When I searched for them services the first one came up in Northern Italy!

Right, it's all coming together now. Chewy's getting over his phobia of round abouts, I'm getting away from this nut house for a few days, Nos can stop thinking what 'im next door will look like with a chimney on his head, Shaz will be bringing her mace spray for security, Doggypaddles getting worked up because he'll get called DG all weekend, Olly is going to tell us to 'Man up' which worries me slightly, DHD will be bringing his Oars, DM and Rouge wave are making notes on how to out wit each other, PeterR will have a smug look on his face as he passes DHD as he has two donkey's on the back, MattH will be providing Air support (not sure if that will be in a Helicopter or a RIB!), TimM is going to slide away quietly and wonder what was going through his head when he agreed to come, Hightower will be keeping his distance in case the searider ugliness rubs off on his Viper, Gibbo's going to bring his girlfriends mate who he's told me about, Blackroady is building a bunker round his RIB and John K is going to see his solicitors because we'll make damn sure everyone knows RIBnet was behind it all

And I thought I was bored!

I don't mind round abouts but they're buggers if the cruise control is on, shouldn't be a problem in a Disco.

We need to buy some of them burgee flag things so everyone knows that JK ultimately was behind the chaos.

My shopping list so far:

http://rib.net/shop/

http://www.tesco.com/superstore/xpi/1/xpi50737141.htm

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FARB-GEL-X-2-S...d=p3286.c0.m14

The last one really spices chilli con carne up, downside is you need to put item number 2 in the fridge just next to the E45!
