Bruges.

"I know he has strongly implied that he wants it to be in the UK but like, I've been to this nondescript little Belgian town that's like abroad and like, I feel so cool for having been abroad that I just need to recommend it so everyone knows I've been abroad. People must know that I've been to everywhere cool in North west Europe. "

And you couldn't have said that about anyone else mentioning Brussels or Rome?

 

Bath is shit, much preferred Bristol

 

Harrogate's nice. Near to York as well

Rome is amazing. We do quite a few European city breaks, Rome is our favourite without a doubt. Check out inferno b&b, it's near the Vatican. Might have changed since we went 3 years ago, but it was really good accommodation, bargain too.

I've just booked the Interno 5 b&b for 3 nights in October, I'm assuming this is the same place your talking about? It's in Via Otranto 18 Vaticano Prati, Roma, 00192, Italy

I paid £283 for 3 nights that's including breakfast as well, now to just sort flights out!

That you think Bruges is obscure and that anyone else could possibly think so says far more about you than it ever will about me.

 

Keep trying though. lol

It's about as obscure as Coventry, that's why it was so funny you brought it up trying to be cool lol

Yeah that's exactly what was happening.

 

Do you need a hug, mate? You seem to be a little bit more desperate for attention than normal. I'll give you a re-assuring bro-hug pre-Hull if it'll make you feel better? You can even cup a cheek if it'll help you get a stable fix of Finners. I sense you really need that at the moment.

 

It'll all be alright.  :kissing:

Norwich is nice. Attractive city centre, good pubs and restaurants and close to some nice countryside.

But what do you think about the pedestrianisation of the city centre?

Im looking for something similar in October time but abroad i think. Brussels, Rome and Paris are on the shortlist currently

Rome is ok but I much prefer Venice or Florance for an Italian break.If your feeling a little more adventurous maybe Naples or Palermo as there a bit more real and edgy.If you don't mind driving I'd suggest flying to Bari then drive about an hour or so inland to a town called Matera.I can only describe it as jar dropping.Small little boutique hotels set in old cave like houses,you can sit on you're patio or balcony and look out on a town which had hardly changed in over a thousand years.One of my most favourite places I've ever been too.

As others have said York is great if you want to stay in this country. If you're going abroad, Rome is the best place I've ever been.

Lovely :) free hagis for all ....This is the official ENGLISH tourist board BLURB on a town about 250 miles from Scotland lol LOL lol

Visit Corby and Northamptonshire - about Corby

Scottish migration, and the migration to Corby has created a unique population in the borough, evidenced most clearly in the 'Corby accent', which is often described as sounding Glaswegian in some residents. The link with Scotland is a strong feature of the area: according to the 2001 Census, there were 10,063 Scottish-born in the Corby Urban Area – 18.9% of the population, it has been estimated that a further third of the population are of Scottish descent, a fact which can be attributed to the huge importance of the town’s steel making heritage when Scots migrated for work.

Northampton Tourist Guide

The Scottish heritage is cherished by many inhabitants – there are Scottish social and sporting clubs and there are many fervent supporters of the Glasgow Rangers and Celtic football clubs (indeed, Corby is home to the largest Rangers Supporters' Club outside of Glasgow). An annual Highland Gathering featuring traditional Scottish music and dancing is held in the town.

Few locations can boast this setting, with access to three major airports (London Luton airport, Birmingham airport and East Midlands Airport) and the newly opened Corby train station, not only would visitors have access to the idyllic surrounding Northamptonshire countryside, major towns and cities, such as London, Peterborough and Northampton, are also readily accessible.

The Holiday Inn Corby-Kettering hotel is based in the Northamptonshire town of Corby, a region made famous by Jane Austin and the work of Dickens.

Whether you are attending a business meeting in Corby or simply visiting as a tourist, there is plenty to keep even the most active of travellers entertained, including the historic Rockingham Castle, stately Althorp House and high speed thrills at nearby Rockingham Speedway or Silverstone Grand Prix circuit. Corby is an ideal place to visit.

Ahhh no Webbo that's just generalising lol LOL lol

Actually since the train station opened and the massive new estates and the huge investment in town centre Corby isn't too bad these days

And Rangers not playing celtic 4 or 5 times a year has brought the crime rates tumbling lol LOL lol

To be fair some of the Welland slate villages around Corby are properly beautiful.

Very true the welland valley beer festival in August is fantastic jaunt around the villages , if your a real ale man it's a great day out

And Corby house prices on the new estates are quite high !!!
