In a spirit of oneupmanship, trump the previous poster's concise, highly specific, fictitious one week out-of-the ordinary holiday report with one of your own.
Went scuba diving on an idyllic deserted island off the coast of PNG and discovered the wreck of Japanese frigate sunk in 1943 which had a safe containing documents that may alter our understanding of the Pacific War. It earned us a few unexpected nights staying with the Prime Minister at his palatial country residence. What a week. Doncaster seemed so dull when we got home. What did you get up to then?

I competed against Bruce Jenner at the 1976 Olympics (decathlon) in the hurdles and came in last. Last week I chased Caitlyn Jenner to get a photo and did.

Originally posted by Great Big SteesWell Doncaster didn't change much while you were away. We travelled along the Loire Valley with Keith Richards and Mick Jagger tasting wine (only the ones made from grapes grown on the northern banks of the river, of course) and I taught Keith the only riff that he had not yet used on any of their albums (we realized there's was only one left, clever me) and he promised to use it on the Stones' next album which - according to Mick - lyrically speaking - will draw heavily on the interesting things I said to them in our late night chats in the various chateaux that they own.

Originally posted by Great Big SteesYes. It will be mentioned in a pop-stars-on-the-road tune called "I Have Been Crashing At Hell" on their next album and, with the aid of some rather nice $600 a bottle plonk, out the back of the chateau they gave me the deeds to as a parting gift, I gave them some of the tune's best lines. I rhymed 'Is this place Montreal?' with 'Ain't This Place Awful?' It's got hit written all over it.

The locals are very friendly, they are happy when you leave, normally scared to talk in case you accuse them of aggression.

Originally posted by FMFMy old chum, The Donald, and I -- we go way back -- were chugalugging 1,000 dollar-a-glass cognac and reminiscing about our school days, and I reminded him, "Donald, old chum, remember we used to say the day you run for President of U.S. of A. we'd swap bank accounts?" And The Donald, my best chum, replied, as he sipped another 1,000 dollar-a-glassfull of cognac, "Yup, Moonbus, old buddy, I shore do. And beens how I'm a running for POTUS, here's my bank accounts list right here, notarized in your name and everything. It's all yours for keeps. I'm just proud to serve my country and I know you'll blow that cash on a fracking great party like we used to! Se ya round, old buddy and have yourself some fun."
Yes.

"Thanks, Donald," I said. I'll keep a bottle o' this for when you get back."
'Cling!' rang out the cognac glasses.
