    I'll be going there in 2 years with the Tranny Army once Craig "the Jakey Mourinho" guides us to the World Cup.

    I went there for work a few years ago. The hotel I stayed in had a private beach which was cool as you could walk up and down it at 6AM in the morning before the working day started checking e-mails from the office and telling epople that it was 28 degrees and you hoped they were enjoying the snow.....You couldn't really swim in the sea as there were loads of shark alerts. It's a real culture shock though - driving from the airport you see people living in "homes" that you wouldn't use as a garden shed. I don't think i'd want to go there on holiday - bit too edgy for my liking.

    Depends what kind of holiday you want. If you want to do a lot of shagging, you can't beat Thailand. There's also a lot of touristy stuff to see in Bangkok, or you could just chill at one of the beach resorts. The humidity in Thailand can be brutal though, and you need to get a ****load of jabs and tabs before you go.

    Cuba is also great for shagging, but the girls are scared that their neighbours will report them to the secret police for consorting with tourists. They'll happily take you home, but you have to leave before the sun comes up. I was awoken one morning to the sounds of some bird's mother milking a goat in the next room. I thought they were murdering a small child.

    If you want a bit of variety, go island-hopping round Greece. The weather and scenery are fantastic, but all the islands have a different character. Some are very touristy whereas others can be very quiet. Plan a trip to suit yourself. There's obviously a lot of historical sights you can visit and the food's great too.

    Egypt also has plenty to offer tourist-wise but is probably a bit dodgy to visit at the moment. Even when we went about 15 years ago, there were a few hairy moments. We were travelling through the desert in a mini-bus from the Red Sea up to Karnak when we were stopped at an army checkpoint. Our driver then buggered off for about half an hour without any explanation. It turned out that vehicles through a particular area needed an armed escort as a coach-load of German tourists had been kidnapped the previous month. The army were just waiting till a big enough group of buses were waiting to make it worth their while. When we eventually got going, virtually every peasant we saw working in the fields had an AK-47 with him.

    A trip down the Loire valley in summer is the bollocks, but can get a bit repetitive. There's only so many chateaux you can visit before the novelty wears off. The scenery is very relaxing though as is the copious amounts of local wine. I'd probably only go for a week if I was to do it again.

    I'd also recommend your own tailor-made holiday round the south of Spain. Seville, Grenada, Cadiz and Cordoba are all worth a visit.

    I've lived in Thailand for two years and didn't get any jabs or tabs before coming here and none since I've been here. Who told you to take them and what were they. I don't know anyone who takes jabs or tabs before coming here.

    I've actually got used to the humidity now though. Just have to make sure I take it easy during the hottest part of the day.

    When I was in Cuba, I was getting an early morning goatwank on when I heard some shady type sneaking out the place - I'm sure he came out of Aidsy Juanita's room.

    I started taking tablets for malaria before I left, while I was there and a few weeks after I came back.

    I think the jab was a booster tetanus shot, but we're talking 15 years ago so I'm not sure.

    I'm very surprised that you're not taking malaria tablets, but the medical advice may have changed since I was there.

    You'd have to be in the jungle to get malaria. There's no malaria in Bangkok, Pattaya or most other towns.

    Not sure what the pint of a tetanus jab is either. I remember it seemed to be all the rage when I was younger, but haven't heard it mentioned recently. I haven't had one for at least 30 years. And I'm still alive and kicking. Probably a ploy to make more money for pharm companies.

    My brothers mate went there backpacking and got robbed twice in an hour in Sau Paolo.

    The 1st put a syringe to his neck and he gave him what little cash he had.

    The 2nd used a knife, pulled him into a shop front & he had to explain how he had no money

    Cinque Terra, Porto Venere. Heaven on earth. Silver Lake Michigan, great for just about anything. But the finest has to be for me....French Alps, in the summertime, Hunting is superb.

    I wouldn't say he's my friend, though I do know the fella. He's about 5ft 2 and called The Kraut.

    My friend's boyfriend and young son got tied up and robbed at gunpoint in their own apartment in San Paula. The police said they were lucky to be alive, but that they couldn't do anything, as they would be too difficult to track down. My friend is from San Paulo and she says it's very dangerous. Also very expensive.
