i need a holiday, stat. (is that the word? I've been watching a lot of ER)


having quit my job a couple of weeks ago, visited friends and family and generally watched too much daytime tv, I now need to go on holiday before the money runs out and I have to get a job (I've got two weeks max)


I need a week in the sun on my own because all my friends are seemingly otherwise gainfully employed. I'm too tired for strenuous activity, but I don't want to end up in a resort where a nice couple invite me to dine with them because I'm Shirley Valentine in the corner (although a resort where I get it on with Tom Conti wouldn't go amiss)


mostly I want to lie down, read books and eat nice food


any suggestions?

Damn, that's harsh. How about a sailing holiday, or is that not your thing? Great thing there is accommodation is included! It's a pretty popular thing to do for single travellers...


There wasn't a lot of wind in Croatia in early August though, but it may be picking up now.

That reminds me of the time I parked the car on a lay-by to take a leak. As I was walking out from the bushes, I gazed up at a yellow sign entitled, "Danger, mines!". I'll think twice next time about p1ssing on someone else's turf!!!


Seriously though, you're only likely to find mines in Croatia if you really head off the beaten track.

You won't get hit on by men in Turkey if you don't look 'up for it' - they are not stupid, it also depends on the sort of resort you go to - obviously if there is a predominance of younger people it will have a different atmosphere to a more family resort.


Try googling Kas on the Lycian coast - it is beautiful as is Kalkan - but a bit more going on in Kas.


Also avoids Eurozone - however southern Italy is cheap even with the Euro.

I was in Egypt a few years a go with my Mum, a friend of mine and her Mum. None of us were on holiday to get laid (which I assume it was you mean), yet the fact that we were women on our own meant that we had plenty of unwanted attention.


Cleary though as we were wearing summery clothes etc, we were "up for it". Is that what you mean?

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
