[caption id="attachment_2105" align="alignright" width="250"] Want to win a wingwalk? Tell us why and you could be a wingwalker[/caption] Personally, we find walking up the steps to a nice Airbus 320 bad enough, so we can't think why anyone in their right mind would want to voluntarily clamber up into a stand up harness on the top wing of a biplane, smile and wait for the plane to take off and zoom through the sky with you attached to the top. But it seems the adrenaline junkies and aviation fans are a lot braver than we are, so you should be...

[caption id="attachment_2056" align="alignleft" width="250"] So romantic - the famous Romeo and Juliet balcony in Verona[/caption] Ah Romeo and Juliet. What a classic by the playmeister himself William Shakespeare. We seem to remember a particularly interesting school trip waaayyy back in time when we were doing our GCSE English Literature syllabus, which involved us swooning over a young Sean Bean who was playing Romeo in an RSC production of the play in Stratford Upon Avon.

Is it just us or has the build up for today's General Election been going on for ages? We know it's important and all that, but do really we have to watch more footage of all three boys incessantly shaking hands with 'the ordinary folk' and thanking them? Quite frankly we think it's all a bit insipid and we're seriously considering a little overnight break to get away from it all*. [caption id="attachment_2010" align="alignright" width="250"] Ah bliss! Not a smarmy politician in sight when you poke your head out of your teepee[/caption] Of course, most hotels have mahoosive flat screen...
