Enjoy in 7 weeks Ian Finn.... We're thinking of going back sometime in 2020 as we enjoyed it so much, it'll be the 3'rd time we've been then. Was 39C temp on some days = we'd go in the outdoor hotel pool to cool down, there'd be a flash of lightning, then we'd be evicted because of lightning strike risk, then read online that Central Florida is the lightning capital of America, but still mega enjoyed it.... BTW we stayed in Baymont Inn & Suites on the corner of Sandlake Road & Universal Blvd, not the poshest place but loved it. It was a late deal = we saw it in travel agent window &

In our Orlando hotel breakfast room there loads of different sorts & colours of tea & I tried a few, wasn't struck on any of them & always went back to English Breakfast tea... I like my tea builders style = strong with plenty of milk & half a spoon of sugar. I used to take 3 sugars decades ago but cut down, I can drink it without sugar but like just a little bit...

It is on Sandlake Road between International Drive & Universal Blvd (almost opposite the Wawa petrol station) in Orlando. The pizzas we had were very nice & we went back a couple of times but I didn't have the tea. Went in lots of other eateries but didn't have the tea, our favourite was Perkins Bakery on the corner of Int Drive & Sandlake Road...

My late Mother-in-law would drink tea that had gone cold rather than throw it down the drain... One day my tea had gone cold & she put it in the microwave to warm it up for me = I took a gob full & spat it out & screamed as it was so hot, cue lots of moaning & whinging from me. I tried it when it'd cooled down & it was like dish watter...

When I'd had nothing to eat or drink for 2 weeks when I was in QMC for 3 weeks with ischemic colitis (I'd been on fluid IV drips) that 1'st NHS cuppa they gave me tasted like nectar...... Worst tea I've ever had was in Florida a few months ago at Giodarnos (or sumat like that) pizzarria , it was literally like dirty dish watter. John (Ayupmeducks) warned me on my facebook page about the crap tea they make in America, he was so right, lol...

When making tea/coffee on Monday morning fill the kettle to the brim, make your tea/coffee & freeze the excess boiled water for use later in the week...

When I did my part 3 practical driving instructors test (where a chief examiner pretends to be a learner) I actually said before we moved off "drive as near to the left as applicable except when overtaking or turning right, & if someone is sat in a parked car be aware the door could suddenly open so give extra room!" I remembered reading it in the driving instructors handbook. He passed me so it must have been right...

Always go upstairs on a bus = you'll travel 0.0000000013% further that those downstairs due to earths circumference. Got to get your moneys worth haven't you?

I got behind with subjects with all the swapping about with schools, I didn't learn to read till I was 10 when Miss Slack at Trent Bridge took me under her wing, I spent the next few years catching up. I was a regular at Wilford Grove library, most books I borrowed were on science, my interest in quantum physics started when my cousin (who I went to Aldercar school with & who went to Nottingham uni, she's got a BA in chemistry) gave me a big stack of new scientist mags that I read from end to end. I'd then borrow NS from the library. I received a prize for progress while in Miss Slack's

Started at Gothem infants then (in no particular order) Aldercar & another one in Langley Mill, one in Chester-Le-Street, Collygate, Trent Bridge juniors & seniors in the Meadows, & Beardall Street Hucknal. So 8 altogether. I left & came back to Trent Bridge juniors a couple of times. When I moved to Chetser-Le-Street no one could understand my Nottingham/Derbyshire accent, when I moved back to Nottingham no one could understand my Geordie accent...

Jill. I was born on Waterway Street (or is that Watterway Street? Lol) in the Meadows, then moved to Gotham, then Langley Mill, then back to the Meadows, then Chester-Le-Street Co Durham, then back to the Meadows, then Bestwood Village. All this before I left school so not really sure where I come from sometimes. I'm a member of the Meadows, Langley Mill & Bestwood Village facebook pages... Best tea I've ever tasted in when I've been on army exercise's when I was freezing cold, knackered, fed up & whinging like Alf Garnet. It'd be dozens of tea bags in a pillow case chuck

Yes Brew I lived in Langley Mill when I was a kid & still say "watter" Granddad would always say it & he'd lived in Langley Mill & Heanor most of his life... My Late Mam always drank tea from a china cup & saucer, I'd torment her by caller her "your majesty" & bowing & scraping to her, I'd get a shouting at off her as she was not a royalist. She drank Hornimans tea, that name used to make me laugh as a kid as I'd interpret it as horny man, cue more shouting for being rude, lol...

Bung a teabag in a mug, pour on boiling watter (has to be watter not that poncy water that non Notts people use) bung in half to 3 spoons of sugar, pour in milk & stir, don't forget to throw away the teabag, enjoy... Under no circumstances must a teapot & china cups & saucers be used, these are for poncy non Notts .people who know no better... P.S. Milk & sugar can be combined if condensed milk is used, You can also spoon condensed milk straight into your mouth, this is totally delicious...

I thought in the song from grease the lyrics "your the one that I want" was "your the wizard of oz." Even now when it comes on I hear "your the wizard of oz" I just can't get it out of my brain...

If you buy a dark sucker & lampholder weighing scale from B&M at the same time you get a 20% discount, you can't get fairer than that can you?

My 'dark sucker' theory could explain dark matter & dark energy, not sure how though, lol...

Been thinking. What if lights don't give out light but suck in dark so leaving light behind = they'd be 'dark suckers.' When the bulb is full of dark it goes 'phut' & you throw it in the bin with all the dark inside it, you then put a new empty bulb in to start sucking in dark again. You can buy mini weighing scale gubbins for your lampholder with an alarm built in = it weighs the bulb plus the dark & can tell you when it's going to conk out with the extra weight of the darkness it's absorbed, however they're not very accurate & can give a false alarm. Of course the biggest dark

They were empty Jill, shame as I like chocolate chip cookies..

I moved to the Bestwood Village from the Meadows in 1968 when I was 14, was very different. I had to change school from Trent Bridge to Beardall Street school in Hucknall for last 3 months...

I've still got a couple of biscuit barrels she gave me, we keep things like pens, those glasses repair kits, watch batteries & other useless gubbins in them...

My love life back than was up & down like a prostitutes knickers, lol, I'd usually blow it by doing or saying sumat stupid. My mate said his girlfriends mate fancied me, I knew she was hot so went for it = it was the wrong mate, it was the munter who fancied me. I went out with her for a bit to sort of save face, she worked at a biscuit barrel factory in Kirkby & would give a me a biscuit barrel she'd nicked every time I saw her, Mam had more biscuit barrels than she knew what to do with, lol. She said she wanted to get pregnant so I legged it...

If all cars/vans go electric where will all the extra electricity to charge their batteries come from? They'll have to build more power stations..

They have green number plates in Florida but didn't see any electric cars, most were 4 by 4's or SUV's..

Her name was Paula, she lived in Top Valley & worked at the Royal Hunt pub. It didn't end well as a couple of weeks later she was supposed to be working so I went to the Welfare on my own, I coped of with Tracy from Bulwell Hall, Paula's boss told her she could go as not busy, she came to Welfare & caught me with Tracy, there was shouting & fuss & I was dumped in the middle of the dance floor & that was that, lol...

I put on my Facebook page that I was trying to work out how insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBT's) work, John (Ayupmeducks) replied "don't even go there Steve!" However I did go there: I was told on my army radio operators course that electrons went one way & holes the other in semiconductors. Been reading some advanced stuff & they actually work by almost pure quantum physics using a lot of quantum tunneling & other quantum effects for them to work, seems just about all electronic gubbins run on quantum physics from LED torch's all the way to supercomputers....
