It was a holiday of sorts
but I managed to get myself stranded in Edinburgh when I was 14, with 27p to my name, having missed the last train home.
Equally, I had my 21st birthday off work but spent it alone, doing nothing, and had takeaway pizza and (expensive, in fairness) wine for dinner, also alone.

I know I've mentioned this before, but I really want to go backpacking in Morocco.

The very thought of a pizza and wine in peace and quiet appeals to me greatly!

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 11 Apr 2012, 15:26, Reply)

Now, sure
but not on your 21st birthday.

My 21st was on a Monday
I had been out from the Wednesday beforehand and was well and truly fucked by then!
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 11 Apr 2012, 15:29, Reply)

Yeah, see
I didn't go out at all for my 21st, except to tesco for the wine.

My 21st was in black and white
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 11 Apr 2012, 15:38, Reply)

I had a barbecue in the rain at a friend's house
Followed by hash birthday cake, followed by a load of amphetamines and then into town to dance my skinny arse off all night.

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 11 Apr 2012, 15:44, Reply)

I am - I was giving a meateater's response.
You can get vegetarian burgers and sausages. Barbecued halloumi is most delicious and several vegetable lend themselves rather well to it too.

Halloumi is class on a BBQ
I'm genuinely interested
( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 11 Apr 2012, 15:49, Reply)

On a skewer with chunks of red & yellow peppers and onions
Then stuffed in a pita with some hoummous, leaves and loads of Encona Pepper Sauce. Nom and indeed nom.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Wed 11 Apr 2012, 15:52, Reply)

I did this but with chunks of chorizo next to the halloumi

( sporters I’m sincerely gratitude to you, Wed 11 Apr 2012, 15:53, Reply)

this is acceptable
merguez and halloumi skewers are, however, the way, the truth and the light.
