Do you really think he'd go anywhere on the planet that doesn't have the Internet, Diane?

Have fun, Minceypoos!

Albufeira is nice. Every place we went to last time and enjoyed has closed down. We have a room with a balcony that overlooks an Irish pub with loud music. The tomatoes and oranges taste healthier, and so far we have managed to avoid meat, fish, milk, eggs and dairy. My wife told me the new sun cream lotion, which I now refer to as Zombie White, once massaged in, is completely invisible. Then she pointed out that I had not done the back of my neck.

...we have managed to avoid meat, fish, milk, eggs and dairy.
For my own amusement I am going to assume these are nicknames for characters from one of my wife's favourite shows "Benidorm"
-
The Irish pub is playing loud music again. I have considered throwing the peelings from our vegetable dinner into their seating area from our balcony.
I read in my book today that ten-year-olds reading the book who eat meat, eggs and dairy should consider cutting a plant diet not to prevent heart disease, but to start to repair some of the damage already done to their arteries.
-
Nice to hear you're relaxing and enjoying some light reading material.
-
The book is over 550 pages long. I tore off the hundred or so pages of references before I came here. It's actually great fun to read. I thought I might just be able to dismiss much of it as quackery or new-age tree-hugging hippy crap. But there's only a hundred years of studies numbering in the hundreds of thousands that all provide overwhelming evidence that meat, eggs, fish, milk and dairy cause harm and offer nothing else.
-
...and offer nothing else.
Taste! :P
-
And very early death. The evidence suggests at least 14 years.
-
I can't have ice cream any more.
-
Of course you can. Try harder.
-
And very early death. The evidence suggests at least 14 years.
How on Earth does anyone know when anyone else is due to die, until they're terminally ill? And that 14 years will, by definition, be the last 14 years of your life. I'd be a bit miffed if I was going to miss 14 of the early years, when I was young and fit enough to have loads of fun, but the last 14...? Meh.

A little distance back from the beach in Albufeira is a restaurant called Aquario. About a hundred yards to the left of it is a tiny corner bar with really comfortable seats outside. Go there and have three large Sagres beers. After that, go back to the Aquario and order either the grilled sea bass or the steak Portuguese-style. Drink wine with your choice. I'm not a pudding or ice cream man but I recommend you have both and finish off with a white coffee and large liqueur. Ceremoniously set fire to that book you're reading with the match you used to light your cigar and enjoy your holiday.

Sage and eloquent advice.

Don't know how I managed to miss this topic until now but oh my!
There are times when I fear for you Mince, I really do.
-
Sage and eloquent advice.
I was actually with him right up to the point where what he said flew against hundreds of years of rational scientific study and overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
-

I've actually been joking the whole time. This is just my sneaky way of getting you all to start smoking joints and taking heroin.

It worked, man. 8)

I just bought a giant bottle of vitamins for people over age 50 with 365 pills in the bottle (not sure just what you are supposed to do in a leap year) - got them at Costco which is a giant warehouse store. Anyway they only cost 3 cents each or that would be one and a half of your pennies and they are HUGE like a pill you would feed to a horse.
If I feel wonderful a year from now, I will be sure to let you know as this seems an easier way to get fit than reading books.
-
Just make sure you read the studies showing that supplements often don't have the health benefits of whole foods with the same vitamins etc.
-
We agree on something ;)

Whatever you do, folks, don't read this year's Doctor Who annual. There's these things called Daleks. It'll scare you sh*tless! :o

Is this the bar?
-
No, that ain't it. It's on a corner with big, comfy seats outside. It's usually quiet because it's behind the main drag.
-
The Aquario is right under our apartment block, literally around the corner from the Irish Pub whose loud live late music has been keeping us up.
-
You're not really a photographer, are you?
-
Nope. Any outstanding features of this bar?
-
Yes. It appears t be horizontal. I can see the appeal in that for some who shall be nameless.
-
I shall ask all the bars if they have been frequented by someone famous. Then I can tell Roger whether any famous people went to the same bar that he did.
-
I wasn't trying to say that this bar is some kind of wondrous experience. It was simply part of my suggestion that, instead of reading about how a mouthful of grilled fish will take 14 years off your life, you should relax and enjoy your holiday. I have no idea what the bar is called but, as I said, it's probably about 70-100 yards to the left and up the hill from the Aquario restaurant. The actual interior is tiny but there are three or four tables outside with comfortable seating. I tend to fall asleep midway through my second beer.
-
I found one bar that remembers a guy apparently called Boaty Pete who played for Dundee United, who kept dancing on the tables after the first pint and asking if he could paint himself tangerine. Sound familiar?
-
Yes---yes, it does.
-
Well, the owner wants his door back.
-
And I want my clothes back.
-
He says he's sold the dress and turned the high heels into a snazzy table.
