Paris, Primrose Valley, Benalmadena

Benidorm for us this year..........well infact 4 days time

Went to Benidorm for the first time last year and despite the bad press it gets I realy enjoyed the place, I found it very clean and we had some great food and the nightlife is.......well......lively.

Although we did actualy stay in Albir

With the lads??

Just come back from Protaras in Cyprus which was V nice indeed. Stayed out of the main resort (10 mins away) and it was peacefull and relaxing with a great set up, food and pool. And the fact that it never fell below 25 degrees helped immensley

I wish, with the wife & kid

My trip with the lads is glastonbury in 2 weeks

Never been to first two but been to latter.

Was going to go to cornwall in mid july, but not got into gear and booked it yet. Probably too late. May settle for camping somewhere if the weather is good

Other way round for me, whats Benalmadena like?

If you've never been to primrose valley you haven't lived, beats florida anyday.

It was fine. Quite enjoyed it.

I'll get the brochures for Primose Valley from the travel agents. Do Virgin fly there direct?

Trust me there are no virgins at primrose valley.

Due to work (well the assistant manager) been a complete nightmare to sometimes work with or talk to, she declined me any days off more than 5 days until October. Should have just booked it anyway, but not bothered this year.

I have managed to get a saturday night of in August to go to Newcastle, and I may go to Scarborough one Saturday afternoon, but that is it where my summer "outings" are concerned for this year.

West coast of France in mid August. Might get to Uk in September.

Not too shabby, there is the inevitable "english bars" with corrie and pie mash, but plenty other things and places to go to keep you occupied, the tour bus is a nice time waster / relaxer.

Ther harbour is THE place to go apparently with loads of bars and restaurants to sample and i had one of the best curries i have ever had in benalmadena so it cant be all that bad.

Cheers mate

If you get the chance too get on the trip to Gibraltar 2 hrs on the coach but well, well worth it, the last little bastion of the empire. cheap fags and booze but the border controls are a bit.... erm... overzealous!?! so be careful with your quantities

Primrose Valleys ace if you're into 14 year old chavs from Middlesborough running riot...

Gonna go to my gaffe in Terrevieja in Spain if it's ready in time.

Gib is v cheap for the booze and fags , the apes are worth a visit, cracking views from the top of the rock. The Rock hotel is a nice place for a bite to eat in the aforementioned old stylee - lots of nice places up and down the costa if you are mobile / driving - estepona - nerja - banus - marbella

Our service contract with a large supermarket covers an outlet of theirs in Gibralter, I'm ninth in the queue of engineers waiting to go when the call comes in.

My friend is an auto electrician and was laid off by the firm he had been with since school and was a bit down about it, he went for a job interview and was offered it straight away only to be told that one of the contracts was rewiring fire engines in Barbados!!!, hes been 4/5 times for 6 weeks at a time since hes been with them, hes doesn't seem cut up about his old job neither.

Las Vegas!

You never said you was going to Vegas!

Have i not, yeah man 8 days 20 hours 50 minutes and 18 seconds till i step on the plane!

Just been backpacking around Turkey (for the second time) it's a superb country. This time did the western part on the coast and a bit inland.

Could quite easily go and live there permanently.

Didn't you go to a wedding there last year lad?
