    Incredible. Went on a stag so remember very little - but went shooting, loads of cheap (good) beer and the women weren't to baulked at. But I assume you're with the missus again?

    In that case - I did 0 site seeing.

    Anyone been to Reykjavik or Svalbard. I'm thinking of doing one for three nights. Always been on the bucket list to do the Northern Lights!

    It's about £700pp wondering if it's as good as they say.

    Iceland is excellent. But you should be able to do it cheaper than £700 unless you are staying going 4*plus....
    Expedia is your friend...

    Going to Bulgaria on business next week. I was there last year. Sofia is quite run down, but it has its charm. Plus last year it snowed, and when you live in Spain, anywhere with snow is fun.

    I went to Budapest a few years ago.... had a great time (locals were very friendly) .. it's not in Bulgeria though!

    Iceland ... food and drink are very expensive but the outdoor hot springs are great.. you must find time!

    Just arrived in Sofia. Bad landing (that's two in two months) and nice food in the Radisson Blu. The country is a bit run down, and the taxi drivers are a bunch of pirates.

    No, it's business. The company I work for do some business with the Bulgarian tourist trade. Out of interest, does anyone know what the local currency is? I've been here a day, and I' m too embarrassed to ask.

    I found this useful invention called "DuckDuckGo" and it's told me that the currency is The Bulgarian Lev

    Yes, I changed 100 GBP this morning and I don't know what to spend it on here. The metro costs 1 lev (cheers China) for a journey, and a real good meal costs around 25 levs. Theres only so much Bulgarian rose wáter I need in my life! Maybe I'll find a Katrien Meire voodoo doll and some needles!

    See if you can find Kishishev and ask him if he wants to come back.

    Diego Poyet went missing at about 15.01 on Saturday, so we could do with another player.

    Whether people like Judas mk11 or not, he must have puffed his cheeks at seeing the mess we are in since he left.

    Why is it that apart from the original Judas Parker, almost everybody that has left us for the dough and premier league football has not done anything?
