I have made a coffee vodka. Saved the grounds up for days, only to realise you don’t need much to make it! Left it for much longer than the recipe said, but that was because I wanted a stronger coffee taste.

Not sure if you get it in the US the same as in the UK, but I find that even just squash is good with carbonated water, e.g. orange squash. Cheaper than syrups and it tastes good with still water too!

I generally follow this recipe, but normally do about double the amount of oats for the quantity of honey and oil, as I’m looking for it to be a bit less sweet and a bit drier. You can add anything after it’s cooked, and before it’s cooled - I normally add loads of sultanas and dried cranberries, and a dried tropical fruit mix. I also sometimes mix in some desiccated coconut.

Partner’s parents are with Gigaclear. Think it’s all been pretty straightforward. They aren’t at all techy, so haven’t swapped out the router or anything. As someone else said, the supplied router isn’t great - it’s quite simple in terms of configuration. Not sure about DNS management, but I know there are other annoying things you can’t do (some config around naming two WiFi bands).

As a child, it had to be the last day on holiday in Corfu. We hired a boat and went to a small island. I, knowing best, refused to wear my jelly shoes in the water. Promptly stood on a sea urchin. Being the last day, my parents decided it would be better to fly home and go straight to A&E from the airport to get the spines tweezed out of the sole of my foot.

Ohh, or that time when we went to America, and I wandered out of my depth in the public swimming pool, panicked and started to drown. Thankfully, people noticed and I was rescued! Ambulance came, but luckily I was alright, and didn’t need any treatment.

As an adult, definitely Egypt. Both me and my partner had food poisoning pretty much from day one. That, and the normal stories of leering locals and attempted scams that you always hear about. The sea was amazing though - almost worth the two weeks of a dodgy tummy!
