Belgium and Belgians are great. Ridiculously friendly people.

It's not though. Class spot.
The Dutch bit anyway.
He thought I meant you would regret it. But I didn't.
You might though.
Got any good recommendations?
Loads. Depends on what you're into though.

That's not true. We both like food and fags.
I like smoking too.
Though, and I can put my finger on why, Boydy is the only person on this board I'd happily go for a beverage with. Trufax.
Fuck you then.
I'm a twit
What?
In all seriousness though, what did you enjoy best there?
I'm gonna go to Auschwitz but beyond that I don't really know what else to do.
Bants.
You definitely have to see the Salt Mines when you're there. For the city itself, I'll let the billy bigshot brothers take it from here as you'll find I'll no doubt be WRONG and they probably own half of it.

Strange how the deaths of millions of Jews won't be the most miserable thing there.

Does it ever not fucking rain in Scotland?
I thought you werent coming over?
Mate. You live in fucking Dublin.
Scotland has a dank dreariness which makes it looks like it is raining, or has recently rained, even in glorious sunshine (those 3 weeks a year they take all the promotional photos). The endless seams of grey pebbledash across the central belt are relentlessly depressing.
Significantly worse and significantly more expensive
Somehow about Liverpool.
Greenock/Peterhead.
The key with Scotland is never to go anywhere near a building of any kind. If you stick to that, it's a lovely country.
It's a nice enough place, but it does nothing but fucking rain. He might as well be an Arab moaning about the sand in Egypt.Significantly worse and significantly more expensive
From my more limited experience I can only imagine it is worse.
Worse? Christ if it was worse than Glasgow we'd have let the Brits keep it. I'd imagine you'd have to go to Africa to find a bigger cesspit than Glasgow.Significantly worse and significantly more expensive
I just came over for the one night after the rest and skipped Edinburgh.
One more jaunt and back in Ireland
Off to Hong Kong Friday. Had a bit of a scare with the BA strike days but everything looks kosher.
For Poland should I get Zloty or Euros?
I'm a twit
Zloty. They don't take euros.
Pretty sure it's zloty.
It was last August anyway. Though I don't keep abreast of current affairs so maybe they have joined the single currency in the meantime.
I'm being taken to York on a 'Romantic trip'
I've spent the morning singing Cliff Richards Summer Holiday, asking which sun cream I need and pretending to look for my passport. I've just been banished from the bedroom while she gets ready cos I'm 'a dick'.
You want to be finding the house of trembling madness when your there. Great food and some nice ales. Can't recommend it enough.I'm being taken to York on a 'Romantic trip'

+1 for that. Had an awesome huntsmans platter type thing and some cracking beer.
There platters are shit hot and not to expensive.
Going to Prague for a week, what do I do?
I'm going to York tomorrow, to some trampoline park. Not sure why this was the chosen venue, but it'll probably be better than shopping.I'm being taken to York on a 'Romantic trip'

To make this post more relevant, we've been thinking about where to go in the summer. I'd like to go somewhere in May as I have a fortnight off, but my girlfriend only has a week so it's awkward. I think it's likely to be a mixture of sightseeing and a beach holiday. Any recommendations? We've thought about the south of France, Barcelona and I've just thought of Dubrovnik. I've been to them all before but would happily go back.
The area around Naples with Sorrento, Ischia, Pompeii etc seems good for that.
Yeah I went a couple of years back. It is, although I spent every day on an excursion.
Eat duck and drink a load of beer. There's some architecture to look at if you're into that.
Maybe go on a boat.
Do the communist nuclear bunker tour. Learn about the communist vs. western history.
Drink cheap beer outside the city square.
Don't have high expectations for the astronomical clock ticking over the hour.
Charles Bridge
Lennon Wall
There's a fun statue of Sigmund Freud hanging off a building.
My favourite European city.
Go find some prossies. That's the only reason my best man wants to take me there anyway.
Sounds exciting.
Is Aldridge Lodge in Waterford well thought of over there in fairy land @Giggles?
Never heard of it and that's my home area. Is it near the city? Waterford itself is a massive kip.
I was in Hong Kong last week. I used to love the place - but last weekend was insufferable. Way too busy, people constantly fucking bumping into you, and to top it off, it was $10 a beer.
Nice weather, though.
