  1. We were in Seminyak. I didn't not have a good time, I just don't think the 16 hour flight justified the outcome. You could reach Cuba, Cancun, India, Thailand or one of the Caribbean islands with 6 hours to kill and I think you'd have better beaches, waves, food, culture, hotels, etc. I think it gets such a big name because of it's proximity to Australia. The Aussies flock there because it's not Australia. They lap it up because it's different, of course in comparison to Austrialia it is, but if you're flying from the UK then I'd give it a miss and aim for something a bit closer......... (better?). That said, I'd recommend Bali if you weren't travelling that far to get to it, and the scuba diving is excellent.
  2. Funny, Bali didn't move me that much.
  3. Yeah, bit suspect that list when you see places like Perth slipping from 18th place last year to 37th this year. Quite a swing that. They must be giving away free houses.
  4. Any Super Furry fans might be interested in this: https://uk.screen.yahoo.com/channel-4-news/super-furries-gruff-rhys-quest-081705196.html?vp=1
  5. The currency debate was done to death and more or less, by both sides, defunct as a scare tactic. But it seems like you've made up your mind about which way you'll vote and you're sticking to it by using the currency fears as your reasoning.
  6. I don't recall there being an airport at Pamplona when I was there about 6 years ago. I drove up from Madrid. I think I've also flown into Toulouse Airport with a budget airline from G'gow or Edinburgh. That might be worth a shout if they're still flying that route but again that was around 10 years ago.
  7. Robocop - Exactly the same as the original with less violence and no swearing. Pointless. Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit - Pointless. Watch Bond or the Bourne series. Noah - Bit weird but surprisingly enjoyed it. Thought the creationism/evolutionism part was clever.
  8. Could be perfect timing for the YES campaign.
  9. Salaries are higher in Norway and that goes from the top right down to minimum wage. The difference being that you can actually see where your tax money goes over there. They punch holes through mountains to get from A to B at the drop of a hat. Aberdeen can't even afford to fix potholes and I won't even mention the bypass. Meanwhile Birmingham to London is gets a high speed train to the tune of £80bn.
  10. See if we're still saying that halfway through the season when our team are knackered.
  11. I think it would be naive to think that's all the doctor was doing with the blood, otherwise why would it be a big secret? I'm sure that press clipping said there were performance enhancing drugs lifted from his clinic at the same time they busted him.
  12. My (limited) understanding of it is that the clinic was a like a blood bank for the athletes. They would take blood from the athletes at some point, store it in bags and then inject it back into the athletes when they needed it. So they'd have more blood in their system when it came time to compete. More blood means more red blood cells, more red blood cells that carries oxygen round the body, means the body performs better. I'm not sure if they can test for that?
  13. Messi's dip in form? Guardiola ditching an unstoppable team saying he's knackered, then relatively shortly afterwards picks up up the reigns at the biggest club in Germany?
  14. It wouldn't surprise me if the currency debate is the next 'bending of the truth' that is easily cleared up. After all Danny Alexander has now admitted we can have the Beeb and the Lottery: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/jun/19/bbc-share-with-independent-scotland
  15. Anyone else find it strange that whilst the whole country was gripped in a recession and unemployment at an all time high, that Spanish teams and athletes were so dominant? For example Barca & Spain were picking up silverware and breaking records everywhere and Rafa was running the show in tennis (whilst making females weak at the knees with his impressive physique despite saying he rarely lifts weights). Then this happens...... http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/cycling/22361185 But no names come out, big cover-up, nothing to see here. Yet almost overnight Barca win fuck all, Spain are looking likely to be first on the plane home from Brazil and Rafa's perennially injured or crashing out of competitions at the first round despite being the world's numero uno. In fact, speaking of cover-ups, Rafa's decided to do just that, he's ditching the sleeveless tops in favour of sleeves which give him less freedom. Why would you want to restrict your movements on court, unless of course it was to hide what is no longer there? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/moslive/article-1200180/Rafael-Nadal-talks-fashion-avoids-gym.html#ixzz0LhjxHgW6 Reeks of shite if you ask me.
  16. As soon as someone hits the PANIC button on Euro tickets there'll be a tidal wave.
