Off Topic Where are you going for your holidays?

Should probably think about buying here first too.

 

Zip lining is a hoot Joe. My kids have never done it before so they're in for quite a shock lol

 

Next ones Ibiza. The best one of the year. Always.

Oh you poor bastard, my heart bleeds.

 

What part are you at in Spain mate

 

Been to Calpe and Moria the Costa Blanca absolutelyfantastic in villas

 

Just come back from Tenerife and going back in September. USA was the plan but redundo f*cked that up.
I'm not one for lying on a beach or around the pool but I can sit for hours in bars having a gargle or two and watching scantily clad buxom wenches walk by.

 

Just got back from Madeira. Was gutted when i was told that I couldn't buy Madeira cake there and felt rather stupid when i was told that Madeira cake is a British thing named after the Madeira wine that we wash it down with!

Me and the other half are now planning our next holiday, probably one of the Greek Islands. We're trying to avoid drunken gob ****es and masses of immigrants, so can anyone recommend the best island to go to for us middle aged folk?

 

You try to avoid immigrants on holidays abroad?

 

Just the ones that I've been told about that are swamping some of the Greek islands causing all sorts of problems apparently!

 

It's very distressing mate and not what you want to experience on holiday.

Vince is in Zante at the mo. Have a word with him.

 

I'd give any banana republic a miss as well mate. Probably not really any bananas there either.

 

Bloody hell, it's terrible, those poor kids too. It's obviously worse than I was told and you're right that it's very distressing Smug

 

For some reason I never put 2&2 together when you mentioned Greece and immigrants... It just seemed a very funny thing to say.

Yeah as Smug points out there, it's not really what you want on holiday, seeing so much depressing misery, it's much cheaper to go to Liverpool for that sort of thing.

 

We had a 7 month tour around the French & Italian islands.

Sicily and Sardinia were badly affected and many of the locals are poor themselves.

It was heartbreaking watching them giving up what little they had to desperate terrified people fleeing a nightmare.

We did whatever we could but it was upsetting ...... you're wise to be taking care to avoid it mate.

 

Thanks for the heads up and the advice mate. I can't blame the parents one bit in trying to get their kids to a safe country away from the wars and savagery of IS. It's heart breaking stuff.
