    Ah. That hasn't been an issue for years, I've gotten annoyingly Dutch with my bike-habits.

    I'll bump my Portugal/Balkans queries and take it to the proper thread.

    You could try and fit Obidos in but it's sort of going away from Lisbon rather than towards Porto. There's also the coastal towns like the one for the famous surf, in Nazare. Sintra is also amazing.
    Also Coimbra is one of the oldest university towns which you can visit. In Porto, you can go onto the Duoro which is also stunning.

    I was looking at the Caribbean but I’ll get my balls snipped off for spending too much on a holiday when we’re buying a house next year and an engagement ring for her.

    I wouldn’t mind Funchal but she’s been there a few times on a cruise at NY for the fireworks so would probably be a waste

    Airports, not holidays. I’m not going to turn into a quivering mess and start soiling myself in them but they’re just one queue after another and I cannot abide queueing. I don’t mind being away so long as it’s not too weird a spot.

    It's the waiting around that bores me. Turning up a couple of hours early only to be airside within 30 minutes. Although that was before covid.

    Stay with the natives rather than the planters anyway Igor and don’t go down the belligerent proddie route. Much more craic with the fake Irish than the fake British.

    Probably showing my ignorance here, but I always thought a Englishman in Belfast would have to stay away from the Republican parts for fear of having reversible knees fitted?

    Not at all. They know the English are largely clueless when it comes to it all, and they’re far less stuck in the ways anyway. I’d rather be English meeting republicans than Irish meeting loyalists anyway. The latter are ten times more hard core.

    Same as an English fella in Dublin or Cork has far less hassle than Irish in Antrim or Carrickfergus.

    Yeah I has zero problems in Dublin and didn't really expect too. I just expected Belfast to be a bit more on edge, but I suppose you're probably alright unless you go walking walking around the wrong estate. But the same is true for London I suppose.

    And Carrickfergus is definitely a made up place. I'm not having that.

    Carrickfergus is one of those Lewis jimmy dreamlands that’s black as fuck. Absolute no leeway - fenians out. We used to play them in something as insignificant as American football and you’d middle aged women calling us taigs and spitting on us.
    Belfast is grand in the city centre as it’s just taken as no hassle, though the fake Irish are still more craic i somewhere like laverys. You just don’t want to stray outside that.

    Me and my mate went to a fairly quaint seeming proddy place and @Boydy said fucking hell watch out for the UVF

    It seemed pretty chill but as we left I did spot the jukebox was set on "loyalist favourites"

    If you wander in the wrong pub you'll know. Some lad from work did it a few years back. Barman was pointedly ignoring them and when they complained he pointed to the sword hung above the bar and explained it was used to decapitate Englishmen. They got the hint

    The bar we was at, the sunflower, was surrounded by big buildings - not sure if flats, hostel/hotels or both, but I heard some lads laughing and talking about how fucked @Boydy was, and then they started lobbing fucking bread rolls at us from above. I couldn't identify which window they were coming from.

    It wasn't even a short, intense burst, they would just lob one every fifteen minutes or so. I pathetically staggered into the middle of the street and did a kind of 'come on lads' plea, like some shit substitute teacher, to no avail.
