:(  Nasty weather and swindon doing badly, can't wait for the summer now. We all deserve a break!

But anyway to those of you that are going on holiday this year I thought we could start up a thread where you can post some pictures of where your going on holiday to if you can find any and tell us all a bit about it. Or if you have been on holiday somewhere nice before, post some pictures too.
 :D Seeing pictures of beaches and swimming pools and sun cheers me up. Don't know about anyone else.

Last year I went to cyprus and said it would be my last family holiday but now it looks as if my last one will be this year!

For the 6th time we're going to arenal den castell which is in menorca/minorca :D  Really looking forward to it now.
It has the longest beach out of all the baleric islands and spain and its such a beautiful beach. Although its nice, I still prefer staying around the pool because the sand becomes irritating after a while and it annoys me.
We stay in an apartmeny thats owned by my dads friend and a big pool is shared with all the other people who own apartments there(can't find a picture). The nightlife in the town is quite good and we've made a few friends in some of the restaurants who recognise us everytime we go back  8)  One man we know owns a bar and it has loads of football shirts hung up in it and I gave him my old swindon shirt a couple of years ago so it will be interesting to see if it is still there.
Only bad point really is that this place is swarming with german tourists too so you have to watch your sunbeds. they're ok really, me and my family had a game of football with a family of them on the green once.

Hmmmm but yeah thats it really. I feel better already!

Feel free to talk about your holidays now!

Im sorry but you going on holiday doesnt cheer me up :x

Im not going on holiday,well im going to Germany but thats going to be hard work avoiding getting beaten up/arrested I expect.

Burning Man (hopefully) oustside of Vegas in the Nevada desert

:(  Sorry yeovil red. You can come with me if you like? I could smuggle you in my suitcase if you like. I'm sure their are some good bars in germany..

oooh heres another nice picture of the beach.

I'm determind to try out scooooobadiving this year, although it terrifies me.
My friend went scoobadiving once, she was not looking where she was swimming and knocked herself out on the oxygen tank on the man infront.

:D woaaaah vegas. I'd love to go there. Pretty lights.

wish I could afford a holiday, I fucking need one :-(

i must admit that beach looks superb

:(  Oh no, I've made everyone depressed. I'm sorry guys.

I was just looking forward to mine.

No holiday for me this year. Bugger.

I haven't been on a proper holiday for years. Always to skint. Glatonbury normally suffices but not even got that this year. Fucking disaster.

someone delete this thread before I cry  :wink:

Ive only had 2 holidays EVER.

Why don't we go on a forum holiday  :D  It has to be cheap though.

Hire a minibus, drive down to weymouth and camp on the beach overnight. We could have a beach party and a big fire like indians do. Are people allowed to do that?

my parents were surprised when i said i'd go with them to corfu

http://www.lsh.gr/CorfuGolfVillas/Images/corfu.jpg

i don't know anything about corfu but a free holiday sounds good

My gf wants to go to Spain (AGAIN! :evil: ) whilst i want to go to New York.  8)

I can't afford a holiday either.

Newquay is always a good laugh though if you're poor like me. Stay in a caravan for a week with a couple of mates and get beered up. :beers:

I agree, theres absolutely nothing wrong with having a nice holiday in england.

Next year I will probably be driving, so was thinking about going down to cornwall with some mates because I love it there  8)  My mates grandad has an apartment by the beach in st ives. Its super duper.
Also the english weather in the summer is never that bad! I love going to weymouth on the train when its shunny and western super mud.

Way to cheer everyone up Sade  :-))(  :evil:

I haven't been on holday for years  :(
Still, a trip to the pub is always an adventure.

This years holiday includes such luxurious destinations as Chippenham, Stroud, Blackpool and Letchworth. I may even pop by and pay homage to the County Ground. I'm not sure I'll get similar quality photos in those destinations  :(

Mine consists of

I'm gonna lock this fucking thread in a minute  :x

 :shock:

Tempted to try and get out to Perth this year, having just seen my uncle, auntie and cousin who live out there for the 1st time in 13 years they couldnt stop telling me how wonderful it si

I am going to Luxemburg next week and Florida in September which my old dear paid for so I can visit her.  :mrgreen:

You should go and see St Johnstone play while you are there.

my holiday will be be swindon probably! at least there are pubs and bars though eh?  :beers:

In 75/76 around about the same time  we were having a crap season and threatened by relegation...there were about 5 games to be played around Easter time...so I thought right go away for a bit..went driving around France in a camper....and not check any scores thus avoiding the misery.

  On return check out what has happpened and we've won 4 out of 5 and are going to stay up.

     So in 82 its a late Easter we're doing poorly....thinks.. go away driving round France in a camper van...don't find any results...return to England and it'll be sorted.

   On return we've won 3 out of 5....including winning 3-0 at Trashton...but its not quite convincing and we of course fell short on 52 by a point.

  Haven't got a camper van any longer.....and with our shower of shit don't think it'd make any difference.

Buy a camper Reg. Although its only 50-50 we'll survive (based on the facts you presented), its better odds than most of us manic depressives are thinking. You know it makes sense  :wink:

Not sure about going to France though.

Had it worked the second time....I'd have hired something and gone.

  Despite being full of French people.....I love it....at least its not Germany.

I assume that most people in Luxemburg speak French? Anyone know anything about this tiny little country? Is beer expensive etc? Are the women nice?

We are celebrating St Patrick's day out in Luxemburg city centre, are pubs likely to open past midnight? :-))(

cheers sade, i cant go on holiday because of my kidney dialysis. thanks. thanks a lot.

:D  Why do you need a holiday mex ? you live near a beach.

 I believe citizens are called Luxembourgeois.

 Rosa Luxemborg wasn't from Luxemborg, but if her Communist revolution in Germany had hapened it might have saved us some trouble.  Wanderley Luxemborgo isn't from there either.

 Radio Luxemborg probably is though.

my beach :D

hmmm i want to go back to thailand  :(

Going to majorca this year   :)

Never been there before but we are art owners of a large holiday company so basically get really cheap holidays because we invested money a couple generations ago  :twisted:

So its really high quality, and majorca. All good.

Nothing too exciting planned because of money (or lack of).

Going to Jedburgh for a week in June. Couldn't find any good pictures so here's a map showing where it is!

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b323/swindon12345/180px-Jedburgh_-_Scottish_Borders_d.png

And going to Sweden later in the year to see my mate and family who are moving out there. Again, no good photos but here's a wierd picture of the bridge my mate has to drive over every day to his work in Copenhagen. I have no idea who the man is.

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b323/swindon12345/Sweden_Malmo_CopenhagenBridge.jpg

no way.

I'll be in Germany then later on in the year off to Australia. I'll be laughing at you mugs still mooching along to League 2 dross  :wink:

 :D  I've been there twice, Its very nice. Very similar to minorca funnily enough.

We stayed in Alcudia (sp). It was a very lively resort. The beach was lushush.

 :mrgreen: :twisted:  Just waiting for the big one when I'm 18, then I've done all the balerics islands hehehehe....

 :wink:  Lets hope your fond of huge spiders daffid. Australia had plenty of them.

Love 'em, eat 'em for breakfast infact.

On toast? mmmm I agree  :?

I think that there are a lot of people living there who are not Luxemboug nationals. I get the impression that it is something of a tax haven... so petrol is cheap, but I would imagine a lot of stuff is expensive, as there are lots of rich banking types living there.

As for holidays, weekend in Mexico at the end of the month, Spain for Easter, Hamburg in the summer, and Chile/Argentina in the Autumn. Haven't taken more than 10 days holiday in each of the last two years at work, so have been ticked off and forced to take a lot this year, to get the balance under control... No complaints from me.

Sounds like you are off to Malmo... quite a nice place, but Copenhagen is a lot more fun IMHO. Get yourself over that bridge, or take the ferry...

Malmo does have a copy of the 'Non Violence' sculpture by Carl Fredrik Reuterswärd (a Swede) which is quite cool though. Tying into other posts on this thread, the original sculpture was actually a gift to the UN from LUXEMBOURG.

I wouldnt wish that on anyone, even the Germans. :?

haha sucker!
come and visit me somewhere if you want!

Fucker. :x

Going to spain this year, parents are going to florida in april but i've decided against that! already been twice and hate long haul flights, although i did go to new york on my own when i was 11, that was a silly idea! I recommend San Diego in California, loved it there!

I'm gonna get a job for the summer to keep me occupied. I'll also be driving..hopefully  :D
