Monk Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 I just don't see the point of 'Lads Holidays'. In fact I don't even understand the whole 'lie on the beach all day and get smashed at night' culture. For me, holidays are about exploring new places and experiencing new cultures.

For me, holidays are about exploring new places and experiencing new cultures. Must admit being a teetotaler and having been forced to goto those kinds of places(malia,Tenerife,Magaluf,Bodrum) with my mates when i was younger,did seem like a chore and brain numbingly boring. I only really went to ogle the scantily clad women Having grwon up and been to places like New York,Istanbul,Florida and major Euro cities i know which holiday i prefer. *Although i do miss ogling the scantily clad women.....

For me, holidays are about exploring new places and experiencing new cultures. To a certain extent I agree. Although there's always time for a good old messy holiday, just not in Magaluf or Malia or wherever all the British go nowadays.
Tabou Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 The only 'Lads' style of holiday that I have been on have involved travelling to watch football/rugby. I have to agree with Monk, sitting on a sunbed all day and bars bar night aren't my idea of fun times. Personally, I much prefer restaurants, seeing things etc etc. Im an old man, at 20. I wear sandles and socks.

Floating Fox Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 I love Edinburgh - My all time favourite restaurant is there.We already have a table booked for this December. When are you going in December...
Guest Posted 5 August 2008 Posted 5 August 2008 When are you going in December... Weekend of Carlisle away. Travelling up to Carlisle on the Friday, then straight up to Edinburgh after the game. Should be good, the Xmas market will be out!
Teeno Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 I just don't see the point of 'Lads Holidays'. In fact I don't even understand the whole 'lie on the beach all day and get smashed at night' culture. For me, holidays are about exploring new places and experiencing new cultures. Have some people never been young? It was a brilliant week, I also enjoy exploring etc. I spent a fortnight on a tour of Israel last year. But You can't beat a week on the piss with the lads. Fair point holidays are about exploring and experiencing new cultures. For me the main reason for holidays are to enjoy yourself and to get away from work/home/commitments etc for a week or two, and thats exactly what I've done.
MC Prussian Posted 6 August 2008 Posted 6 August 2008 I might make it to Leicester this fall. Other than that, if the visa thing gets through, I'll very probably find myself exploring California starting October.

Uncle Albert Posted 13 August 2008 Posted 13 August 2008 Got back this morning from Mexico, and I am so glad to be back. To hot out there and the Mexicans would have the shirt of your back if you werent careful.

To hot out there and the Mexicans would have the shirt of your back if you werent careful. It's never too hot. Whereabouts did you go again? Was it the indigenous Mayan part? Most of the locals would make Wee Dave look like a giant, but they do have to watch them. "Just browsing" isn't part of their English vocabulary.
Mickey O'Neil Posted 13 August 2008 Posted 13 August 2008 Off to Gdańsk in about 4 weeks. I miss one bloody home game

Yea they had Corona on tap at our resort, the Mexicans are well proud of Corona always trying to sell merchandise. Nope didnt go there, spent most of the days on the resort or doing water stuff. Went to Coco Bongo and that was mint.
