Summer holidays over. Depressed?
That's me on my way back home after a liberating week in St Ives. Standard accomodation but with arguably the best view in St Ives and with the added bonus of a balcony. Many thanks to Vipros for the heads up.

It really was a lovely place, fruit scones with clotted cream were dangerously addictive, as was the body boarding. Great buzz out yesterday in the wind and pissing rain, bobbing about the surf like a hairy dolphin. I seemed to be the only person who didn't have a wetsuit, or, poofsuits as they should be called. It didn't really seem cold enough for one, but being the rugged, deep fried type, I didn't require one.

Should you be on a high when coming back from holiday, or depressed and maudlin. I am completely skint and will be for the next month, but at least I have next week off as well, which is a pleasant thought.

I guess you're supposed to feel refreshed and energised
but in practice you've got to work extra hard to make up for all the shit you missed and what people fucked up in your absence.

I have 4 weeks of work then that's it. Open ended life - really haven't got a clue what to do but a good couple of weeks holiday to purge me of this job is required.

Ha, cancer and Scottishness aren't contagious, i dont think
We stayed in Flat 4...so you would be safe in on of the other flats.

We were SO skint that we didn't eat out much at all. Rajpoot for the smallest portion of chicken pakora ever offered up in the history of Indian restaurants. 3 snidey goujons worth, it was like Tapas for anorexics. Then we tried The Loft, which was decent, if a bit pricey. Bought a fair few pasties and about 15 scones from a small bakery at the bottom of the hill. It had 2 entrances and was really rather lovely.

Being skint on holiday is like sex with a durex on. You are doing it, but you don't get the full enjoyment.

I find holidays boring. I went to the beach for 5 days last year with a load of mates, yeah it was fun at night but during the day it was boring all they did was lay on the beach. No games or sight seeing. The most excitement I got during the day there was a jellyfish sting.

Beach holidays are fucking shit.
I've been on about three, and whilst the inactivity and reading can be pleasant for a bit, on the whole I find them indescribably tedious - and rather insulting to the place you are holidaying in.

Spain (for example) has some fucking incredible things to see, but they cannot be found in Puerto fucking Banus, possibly the most vulgar place I have ever visited, bar Upminster.

the main issue my mates had was that at the villages they went to the locals just seemed to have no respect for where they live
they'd just dump rubbish and filth over a wall for the stray dogs and goats to eat and shit everywhere, and then when it rained it'd all get washed through the streets and into the sea.

3 of them were ill after surfing over there because of all the shit that got washed into the sea.
