The Guggenheim?

Great place for a weekend though, definitely.

It will be Pinxtos you're eating, it being Basque.
Yeah I probably should check it out for an hour though not really arsed.

It’ll be meat-heavy. Booked a walking tour, will probably do the stadium tour. Good gym and spa in the hotel, go to the football, tell them Basque separatism is ******ed in Spanish, come home to Brexit Island.
 
Where did you find tickets for the game?
On their website was easy enough. Didn’t need to become a member or anything. No standing tickets with the ultras for €50 but got a good seat about halfway up behind the goal for €90 which seemed to be the last one going in that area.

Been looking at restaurants and renting gear and such **** for the week in February.

Best week of the year. Non stop outdoor stuff and phones don't appear until the evening.

Italy again.
 
In bed, up at 2.00am to get to the airport and flight to Turin.

An absolute **** ton of snow has fallen, with even more to come.

Hopefully not too much, can hardly bring myself to say (jinx) I'll stay in one piece.

Plenty of local Peroni to compensate if we're snowed off though. And the decent food of course.

If anybody has been to Cape Verde… jump on the bandwagon and you should get a few quid out of this.



More than 1,700 people have now joined the legal action against travel company Tui after becoming ill while on holiday in the Cape Verde islands, lawyers have told the BBC.

Lawyers from Irwin Mitchell, who are leading the personal injury claim, say they have been contacted by people who became ill there as recently as two weeks ago.

They believe at least eight Britons have now died after holidays there in recent years. In February, UK health officials warned Britons over travel to the West African archipelago following reports of stomach bugs.

Tui is investigating the claims and said it was "not in a position to provide a statement at this stage".
It said it did "not yet have access to the full Cape Verde health report, which remains unpublished".

Jatinder Paul, from Irwin Mitchell solicitors, told BBC Breakfast: "In all my years of doing this work, I have not seen a case this large and unfortunately so many that have died as a result of the illnesses.

"We are pursuing all of our cases against Tui. They had a responsibility in taking our clients away on a package holiday which was not going to cause them any illness. Unfortunately it was the opposite of that."

Paul added: "If we're unable to resolve them amicably we expect a judge in the High Court to make an order which would involve payment of millions of pounds worth of damages to our clients."
