We find that we use the laptop/internet a lot for surfing, writing, e-mail, games etc - and of course, forums. We also socialise with other liveaboards - pub quizzes are popular.

Prepare and cook an elaborate meal, the prepping and cooking should take you a while plus you have a nice reward.

Ban Blatant Bias and Bigotry

I must protest!

This is a northern-hemispherist post exhibiting the most blatant and digusting geographical bias, and should not be posted on such an illustrious forum.

Northern hemispherical bigots should be banned immediately by moderators and their posts deleted.

I do wish I was in the southern hemisphere now, enjoying lengthening days and the spring forward hour.
