    No me and five mates. We're staying in a shitty hostel. No idea what it's called, I just sorted the flights. You cunt.

    Flights were £85 return and the hostel is costing me £100 for three nights.

    You can get an apartment fairly cheap. There are budget hotels as well. You don't have that many flight options up there, do you? I saw Copenhagen in May for £20 return. Considered a day trip but there's no way I'm being allowed to two new places without her in such a short space.

    Cheap flights everywhere down here. Fuck your northern lights.

    There's loads available from Edinburgh and Glasgow. I was looking at similar prices for Copenhagen and contemplating much the same thing.

    Because of buying a house and an unhealthy trainer addiction we're going with a mildly cheaper option over last year. 10 days in LOS GIGANTES which costs around the same as the week in Italy, and spending money shouldn't be as much of a requirement as it's a more lazy affair.

    Great city, even if you're not completely munted the whole time
    Anne Frank house/Rijksmuseum are pretty cool. But yeah, spend time stoned, find a good coffee shop and go for it. Or go for some of the more lax bars (Bulldog for example), have a joint, beer and watch the football.

    The Red Light District is certainly worth checking out, even for just spotting which are trannies or not (there are a few).

    Great city though, I'm down to my last joint sadly, didn't bring enough back.
    Test.

    Alright, TTH: things to do in the UK (minus Ireland) with a rented van and parents in late July?

    We'll have already been in London, York, and Edinburgh/Glasgow but then we have around ten days, maybe two weeks, with nothing yet planned. I've been thinking the Highlands and my parents want to go to the Lake District but still we're pretty undecided.

    Spend a day in Chester, it's a beautiful old walled city, and nice old school shopping area. Visit the wall, ampithetre, cathedral and take a walk along the river.

    Whilst in the vicinity of the Lake District(-ish), visit some of the awesome castles in NW England...

    Beeston Castle
    Conwy Catle (Wales)
    Bolsover Castle
    Lancaster Castle (near Lake District)
    Muncaster Castle (near Lake District)
    Lowther Castle (near Lake District)

    If you're in Glasgow anyway a drive up the West Coast of Scotland seems worthwhile. You can do it as a day trip and see loads of it, but it may be worth taking a little longer and visiting the likes of Skye.

    The north of Scotland is comfortably the best place to drive to/around as long as you don't miss amenities, or people who speak recognisable English.

    Absolute lol at this. I'll probably overtake him screaming obscenities as he's dawdling about at 25mph on a national speed limit road, gorping at some gay, snow covered hills.

    We've got our honeymoon to Olhao booked for the end of July. We got a 5* hotel there for a very good price, probably cheap because it's not quite Faro. Can't wait.

    Skye seems very good. We've been thinking of doing this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/de...p-to-the-hype/

    Looks like me and two friends will be going to Europe and coming up to London via Italy and France between June 29 and July 11 or so. I'm thinking Florence and Nice, and some time in the French countryside. Being in Paris for the final will be fun too (until we get blown up lol). All suggestions naturally welcomed. My friends also sort of want to go to Ireland and Kendrick Lamar is playing a show in Dublin on the 15th of July.

    It's nice in principal, before you go absolutely mad behind armies of caravans, idiot tourists and old age pensioners out for a meandering drive. ARGH.

    The problem with that North Coast 500 is that it was dreamt up by somebody paid to attract tourists to places they aren't choosing to go of their own accord. I haven't been much further north than Inverness on the Scottish mainland though so I'm not in a place to judge which bits are worth seeing.

    I rarely check my Avios points but had recently noticed it being a lot lower than I would have expected. Having now looked properly at the collection history, it turned out none of my Tesco Clubcard points were registering and that a few flights were also missing. John on Live Chat has just discovered they'd somehow duplicated my account and that there were over 5000 points sitting in wait in the 'hidden' one. Still have to contact Flybe to claim at least four flights that still aren't there too, which should take me close to covering our trip to Barcelona later this year.

    I'm turning into my mother, but it's potentially getting me free stuff, so

    I know the owner of Flybe's brother. I'm disappointed your keeping those cunts in business.

    edit: Looking it up, he definitely didn't found/own Flybe. What a lying cunt.

    I doubt they'd have a look on were it not for their monopoly on the route. I suppose I could take the ferry, but that's run by Serco and they're no doubt bastards in their own right.
