I think my Paypal account has one penny in it, so I'm not much help.
For the ALT Q though, and I've mentioned this place before, here:



A cottage on the gatehouse of a castle, surrounded by a moat. Comes complete with guard geese, and excellent privacy. Some knuckle dragger related to Vipros lives in the nearby village, if I recall.

Monty has to vet you first, but his standards have fallen recently, so you'll be fine.

It's owned by the Landmark Trust.
I'm off to another of their places at the end of next week.

Sounds like a great place on the website and it's free over Halloween. I love taking short breaks to places like this with a few friends.

It's pricey, but well worth it for a special holiday.

Only to pop in on other families staying at their places.
Is that fort in the Channel still on their books?

I always planned to have a truly debauched party there one day.

You could make the most amazing racket
and be utterly cavalier with how you behaved and no-one would know or care (as long as no-one died)...

I would definitely come to your party
and offer the services of my mediocre band

We should
form our own super-group especially for the occasion.

we won't need to practice because it'll be one big psychadelic freakout

One of the best sleeves ever, that one.
