Dorset

so yeah, sea air (connossieurs choice - Cove House Inn Portland in a fall storm), Weymouth = most depressing place ever,

all in all a beautiful, beautiful inspiring place apart from one thing:

SEX

last week i pulled out my still wrapped packet of durex 'safe play' and found the expiry date was august 2001. i swear Douglas Bader has more chance of posthumously scoring for england than i have of getting a shag in this stupid fucking bunghole of a county.

oh and it's full of racists.

Hello. Can anyone recommend a nice, cheapish hotel or B&B in the Dorchester/Weymouth area? We'll be driving, so accessibility by public transport is not essential.

We'll only be there a couple of days and mainly visiting family (who are now too old and frail to impose upon as houseguests) rather than sightseeing, but bonus points for being near nice coastline and/or a good pub.

Stayed in Portland for a few days. The "cottage" had an information file, with two leaflets at the front. The first detailed what to do in the event of flooding (park car up a hill); the second described what to do in the event of a radiation leak from a nuclear submarine (stay in doors, close windows; wait for army to deliver medication).

^ And yet still we have booked another Dorset holiday.

Recommendations for Milborne St Andrews, Blandford Forum and thereabouts?

Has anyone done Crying Mat from Masterchef at the Casterbridge?

Any recommendations around Toller Fratrum/Dorchester?

Went to (Masterchef winner) Mat Follas' new café, Bramble, in Poundbury. It was a bit ... nothing. He actually seems to cook on a Friday/Saturday evening so perhaps it picks up then?
