haha our house was awesome, i could have thrown a tennis ball onto fistral bay from our front room, bloody brilliant,
did some good surfing this year too, i can stand up alright on a solid board now, it was a 7ft board
going to try a small one next year!! brap brap, surfed for 4.5 hours yesterday and i feel like crying today, my calfs are proper done for lol
body boarding looked like really good fun too! i struggle to see people without my glasses though so i was squinting like mad to watch them haha, back to work tomorrow though :(
I've never been into the water at Fistral, despite living 5 miles away for 6 years lol Watergate all the way for me.
Might be convinced to try Fistral this year though.
Magic seaweed is suggesting the surf next week will be hooooooj :d
Surfing always looks like great fun but I can imagine it's very difficult.

very very tiring, learning the little tricks that make it less tiring is well worth while! like the easiest way to get over waves, and learning to paddle through waves on your board
fancy you living just 6 miles away :( id bloody love to live down there!

Sept->June was cool (if you dont mind the rough weather), the "summer" was hateful for living there as it was always busy lol.
Would happily move down there now though as I can be a recluse in the summer with ease now lmao
Fresh Boom bar, Eden, spingo and pasties ahoy :d

Nom, nom, nom and NOM :d
I'd like to have a go at surfing, know some guys that are into it. half an hour of paddling for a couple of mins surfing does not sound fun though :wtf:
Doom bar lol.
Eden is also beer from the best brewery in the UK (imho) Sharps.

Mrs Hobbit was a receptionist there for a few months, just as a temp though. Was so gutted when she left, I used to get as much free beer as I could drink as they bin off all the real stuff at the end of the week and start again :eek:
kept the barrel though :)

They had a job going there a little while ago that would have been 100% perfect for me lol. Only let down was they wouldnt tell me what the salary was so we couldnt even plan it :(
They seem to be expanding, keep seeing a few boom bar artics about, when they only had one a few months back.
I remember (well ok I dont but my dad does), in the mid 90's the Officers Mess on RAF St Mawgan that they asked for a 2nd barrel for that weekend and Mr sharps said that he only had 5 barrels, and all were sold to there and the 4 other pubs he sold to lol
No way :eek: Doom bar seems to travel well, I think thats why it sells, and its well yummy lol

stuart what do you work as?
there are no construction or audio specialist jobs down your end :( there are teaching jobs for mrs tidy though!!!
I dont live there anymore lol.
I'm just norf of London now.
Last year they were building the ass off Newquay so I'm surprised there arent any construction jobs about.
Look on Magic Seaweed to see if tehre is any surfing spots near your home :)

bit over my head that cornish! lol been checking out magic seaweed etc and trying to understand what the diferant terms are and also what the seconds column is for! is that for the amount of time the swell lasts.. (before my feet can touch the floor again lol)
and novamerit im back in sunny bolton now :( bowt to go and do a repossesion job, ahh the high life, should of brought a gum shield tbh
why kfc on fri and sat! you fatty! lol 10/10 for forward planning your meals though, birds couson said it was the worst KFC she had eaten ever from there though! go to paulines cake shop a bit further down for some cream tea scones, thats where its at buddy
Morris's pasties are the uber food!
Tidy Max
30-10-09, 09:03 AM
is morris's past KFC and paulines etc then on your left, REALLY small shop, with an ice cream shop next to it? as they are definately the best pasties i had down there, pork and apple FTW, her dad loved the rhubarb and custard ones though lol
I buy em from his original butchers shop in St Columb Major :)
Pastys from butchers are always the best :)
FAIL :(
I was ill for the week, ghey
The sea was MASSIVE, w00t
The wind was making the surf messy, and no one was out at Watergate or Fistral (or anywhere for that matter)
Magicseaweeds report said that the conditions were extreme to life threatening lol Gave that a miss :(
In my ill state it was also too windy to fly the kite as it would have just ripped my arms off lmao.
Think I'll have to make a run for it down there again on my tod in a month or so :)
