    Big island, Hawaii

    Thanks all for your replies. Yup, we are staying on the west side (Kona), looking forward to exploring the national park and volcano, and relaxing on the beach. How easy is inter island travel once we are there? I.e if we just fancy popping over to another island? Is it expensive? Also, want to...

    Scenario is that me and me and my family are off to the states for 3 months in June. When I applied for the esta for my 6 yr old daughter, I scrolled to "no" for the question "have you ever out stayed your welcome in the USA?" However, the mouse had different ideas and logged a "yes". So at...

    Just booked the flights for me and the missus for a week in Hawaii in the middle of our 3 month sabbatical. So, in age old nsc tradition - any tips? Volcano drive/ walk is a definite. We are staying in Kona but will have a car to go wherever. Cannot wait. Rest of the 3 months will be spent on...

    The greatest footballer that you ever saw play live

    Interesting, my 1st Albion match was vs West Ham (around 1988 I think?). I too went into it a West Ham fan, and ended an Albion fan. To answer the topic, bergkamp at Arsenal, sublime

    Pre match meal for family of 4

    So, the ladies mile looks decent and parking won't be a nightmare. The wife has found coggings and co by 7 dials, however am I right in thinking that the parking there will be as atrocious as it always has been? Which one is the better option, I'm siding with the ladies mile.

    Pre match meal for family of 4

    Thanks, yeah heading into Brighton is an option as we should have time. I guess our requirements are that it needs to have a relatively quick turnaround I.e. In and out in an hour. Anyone know a good burger place to head to if the Swan is too full?

    What SMITHS song represents your current feelings about the Albion?

    From how soon is now: "There's a club if you'd like to go, you could meet someone who really loves you, so you go and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home and you cry and you want to die..."

    Sports Personality of the Year

    Barely watched it, but tuned in around the time of the obituary bit during which a girl I was at uni with (and lived in the same house as my girlfriend at the time) was featured. Very sad, a nice girl she was, and brings back how short everything is.

    Extending a lease on a flat

    We extended a lease on a 270k flat with a 71 yr lease for 13500 4 yrs ago. If we had extended it when we bought it 4 yrs earlier it would only have cost 8500. So if you are thinking of doing it, do it sooner than later.

I know the location of roughly 200yds of unbroken sloe bushes down a very isolated path in Suffolk so reckon I can get a good few lbs of sloes! One question though, when best to pick...
