The Boofon Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 just because it was predominantly full of canadians and americans!!! thats their "spain" apparently... jealous! Doubtful there would have been too many of them kicking about in Cuba. That's what I loved about the place compared with Dominican Republic the year previous. Staff at hotel in Cuba weren't as in your face swanning over you to try and get a tip in Cuba. I put that down to the fact that most Americanos cannot get into Cuba although that may have changed in the last 3 years. Link to comment

Dynamo Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 I was in Liverpool last week. Albert docks and surrounding area nice, generally a bit of a dump though. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Albert Docks is a great part of the city. Some great places to eat down there. I'll next be down in September, then December - I'm staying in apartments close to Albert Docks. Some great shops in the city centre though, alot of them are down small alley ways though - so if you don't know where you're looking, you miss a lot of good shops. some great pubs in liverpool too. i think its a great city.

spamspamspam Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Went to a few down the old tram warehouse type area names escape me and the one night ended up in Tresor place is just sheer class. Sounds like Berghain, had a few crazy nights in there. Tresor is amazing as well... You meet all sorts, seen and spoken to some of the craziest people I've met while out and about in Berlin.

Poodler Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Bit of a shame train spotting gets a bad name, quite an interesting hobby. Different engine and coach combinations can be quite fulfilling, as well as timetable variances. Interesting also to see the different ways drivers take on shunting operations or short-stop scenarios. Busy or terminus train stations are of course the best for us spotters, with Aberdeen being a favourite of many lads from down South in the summer months. The Royal Carriages unfortunately don't make as many trips up North as they used to, with the Windsors preferring a flight and road transport nowadays. Quite enjoyable an misrepresented indeed - and of course you can have a wank under your cagoul when the schoolies are around. That last few words totally threw me Link to comment

sambasheep Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 In September going to the U.S. for a bit of a trek. Boston/New York/Chicago/Nashville and Philadelphia including a Bruce Springsteen concert at the Metlife Arena in New Jersey and Chicago Bears v St Louis Rams at Soldier Field. Fair to say i cannot fucking wait. As an added bonus, if the flights back are on time i'll be in Aberdeen in time for the Hibs game. Should be top of the league by then . Link to comment
tightbreeks Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 my wee scarborough holiday was good, the main part was seeing the erosion at skipsea. such a shame for the people's homes that are gradually falling into the sea. some lovely wee villages dotted along the coast, but the seagulls need culled. just booked our holiday to south korea next year.

daytripping Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Going to London in 2 weeks time, get there the day after the Olympics finish. Off to Krakow at the beginning of October for a stag doo, hopefully take in one of the local teams games. Link to comment

daytripping Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I saw a programme that had the Krakow derby on it, pretty mental. Aye saw that, was one of that Ross Kemp shows. Cracovia must have been relegated since then so no derbies this year. Link to comment
E-P-K Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Away to Sharm el-sheikh on Saturday for 2 weeks. Was not my preferred destination of choice, but now the time is near, looking forward to it. by all accounts diving the coral reefs in the area is only bettered by Australia. Quad biking into the Sinai Mountains to watch the sunrise, maybe come across some Egyptain Mujahideen to make it more interesting, If things get a bit out of hand, I will just name drop Tup to smooth things over. I would like to see the Pyramids, but can not be arsed with sitting in a non air con bus for 6 hours in 40+ degrees for 6 hours, although internal flights are cheap. and unsafe. Link to comment

Lucky you, not long back from Singapore and loved it. I think I could live there. The food is fucking amazing. As an alternative to Phuket or Bali, if you don't fancy more flights, may I suggest Bintan. An Indonesian island off Singapore, 45 mins by ferry: View from my beach hut one morning Link to comment
