When the topic you're arguing in is closed, you ought to take that as a fairly strong hint that the admins want you to stop arguing...
The holiday, anyway, was really fun. Beer is so cheap in France it's untrue - 11€ (about £7) could get us 26 bottles of Kronenbourg, which was probably why we ended up drinking over 260 between us... Wine, of course, was even cheaper, so we drank lots of that as well. At one point, my friend Tom (whose anality knows no bounds) calculated that we drank approximately 3 litres of
pure ethanol during the week...
We spend most of the week either in the cottage, drinking, or in the bar across the road, drinking. Apart from drinking, we had a lot of water fights (what else do you do in that kind of heat?) and swam in the canal, which was clean and nice, not at all like British canals. Unfortunately, halfway through the week it began to piss down, and rained heavily on and off for the rest of the week, so the water fights were out...
For all the cheese-lovers on the forums, I would like to recommend french cheese. The camembert was gorgeous, as was the goat's cheese (goat's cheese and honey on toast... *drools*). Being vegetarian, there wasn't much on offer for me, as most french foods consist of meat. I lived on bread, cheese, omelettes, and chips. Oh, and tomatoes in herbs and olive oil *drools again*.
As for the hell that was the journeys to France and back again, I'll leave them to your imagination. Suffice to say, never trust National Express if you want to get anywhere. I wish the english public transport was as good as the french...
Back and suffering from sleep deprivation
)
I was in Lapland for 10 days and just came back this morning. We had to wake up at 5 and change trains in Tampere, which was really nice... 
But atleast I was able to sleep in the train, unlike Jonna.
