Holiday :-D

Post by grim_tales »

I'm going off to Spain on Monday to watch the England game (v Andorra) :) Going up to Cheshire today.

I'll be back next Sunday/Monday. See you soon :D

We can't be any worse against Andorra than we were against Israel :lol:

Three weeks. Don't know about the camera, yet as it is my brother's and I think he needs it himself as he is heading south to the black forest.

Wanna see some pictures from last time I was there (2004)? Maybe I can open a new thread.

Yes sounds good, re: photos. Is Jordan a beautiful place?

I always make sure I have my own camera. I can't say I've heard of the Black Forest.

I was going to do that joke but decided it was too sad. I guess you don't :D

Of course it's sad. But I had to say SOMETHING. :D

What does the fact that you guys associate Jordan with Andre's girlfriend instead of the Hashemite Kingdom tell about your daily newspapers?

Uploading pictures is a bit too stressful right now. In the meantime you can go here:

She's lovely :)

Yeah, I stayed for a few days in Barca with my dad :) On the first day, we stayed on the top floor in the hotel, we tried to have something to eat but the food was truly shite, it turned out we were eating in the restaurant where all the US/Spanish students went, so we actually got a free meal then ;) Next day we were moved to a much better room on the bottom floor, with one of those cool jacuzzi type baths in the bathroom.
We went to a few of the museums etc as well as the football - the FC Barcelona museum OK thats football too, but it was very good, showing how important Barca was to the Catalan people, the guy who founded the club in the 19th Century also played for them), some archeological museum, and the Barcelona Erotic Museum ( :D ), actually very funny.
Also went on a walking tour on Friday looking at the old town, and all the markets and stuff, and quaint little stores selling chocolate, coffee, ham etc. I bought some turrón (like nougat).

The Andorra game was shite, we were shite despite the positive scoreline (3-0), depressing seeing Gerrard get nutmegged twice by a fecking builder but some of the chants were amusing "There's only one David Beckham" (after Gerrard failed to score from a free kick) and "Steve McClaren is a wanker" :D Good goals though.

We got back very late (had to walk back, as some clown decided that the train station should close at 10pm despite the fact there was a game on), we managed to get a midnight snack when an Italian restaurant made us a pizza - at about 12.30am. Very nice. The waitress was kinda cute :) My Spanish was very rusty though.
