    Nothing major planned this year.

    Can't really afford it. Going to Mull for a few days and will probably get another few days up north sorted.

    To be honest, if I time it right and get the weather, I'd rather not be anywhere else.

    Mull is quality, absolutely beautiful if you get decent weather, and if it's raining just get to the Mishnish.

    He's been going for the past 20 year. The weekend it's on always times with a game against rhe Huns as well. Says he's had some brilliant days watching it over the years.

    Although he doesn't watch it in the mishnish. Hun pub apparently.

    Barcelona is cracking too mate you'll enjoy it. Was over in November.

    Aye I've been meaning to go with him for a few years now. My auntie has owned a cottage on the front for years and he always gets it. Perfect location right across from the chip van.

    Aye, the music is good. West coast style so not the usual 'Andy stewart' * which most folk immediately think of:56:

    I've been a couple of times, but not for a few years. It does seem it's moving away from families towards a party holiday destination due to the cheap drink.

    Balkan Holidays/Balkan Air worry me. Both times the plane we got back was worse for wear. They didn't seem bothered at all about security either. They worried me.

    Sunny Beach is ok. It's a bit rough in places with so many unfinished and broken paths and kerbs.

    The drink is only very cheap if you buy local produce. Brand names are a lot more expensive.

    Everything is counterfeit.

    Nessebar is well worth a visit, but there isn't much siteseeing other than that. It is just a place to laze by the pool or beach by the day and go out on the * at night.

    They don't do the family entertainment at hotels and bars like Spain do.
