Test 1: The Bank Holiday Weekend-holiday

If we can take this, we must be able to get through anything:

• Blistering hang-over after a un-planned mega party the night before
• Navigating after the sun in pouring rain to find this little Cotswolds-village since the Spinster refused to to waste £10 on a map "Maps are for wimps, I am a sailor".
• Reaching the village without address to the hotell - the otherwise management-consultancy-organized-Spinster-travelling-the-world, had only a very vague idea of the name "it was something involving Marlborough". Which is useless knowledge since the Duke of Marlborough apparently founded the village, hence Marlborough everywhere.
• Finding our hotel on the fields outside the village. Clean and proper, but hardly romantic, since the Spinster rarely has patience to do anything properly.
• Since everything closed in this slient village already at 10.30, having to spend the evening in our very dull hotel-room with a bottle of bad wine listening to old Smiths from my laptop.

And I have never laughed so much in my entire life and we went to bed I had pains in my ribs from all the laughter. A completely surreal vacation.

And as Mr Cosby himself describes us: As Andy and Lou in Little Britain -- one very kind, diplomatic, understanding, patient "how about if we... what do you think..." and the other brash, direct and blunt "I want that one". I love it. And I think he loves it too.

(except the weather wasn´t anything close to this)
