TO MAKE MATTERS CLEAR, WHOSE DOING GREECE?

im seriously thinking about it, credit card would take a bit of a battering, but im very tempted, price seems to be about 300 from glasgow with pretty shitty looking hotel thrown in, on expedia.

I fancy it too, but i'm going away in July so it could be pushing it a bit.

Yes, if I manage to sell my Shergold Masquerader beforehand.

im going to amsterdam a week or so after the greece gig for a stag weekend and im also off to greece later in the year for a wediing fortnight, so expenses are really pushed for me.But i really fancy it.

I shall do if it really is confirmed with the management (and Hooky), but until then...

Jack, make yourself useful and ask your old fella please.

Loads here wanting to buy plane tickets.

Are you not going to Hooky's DJ date tomorrow? If so, then that's a question that begs to be asked! :)

good point, but the state I'll be in, if I go I'm more likely to try and snog him

I'll be GOING TO Greece, not DOING Greece.

sorry, just a pet hate of mine

You making excuses ... already?!

Nope, but do have severe cashflow issues thanks to burst boiler and stretched credit card. Shouldn't have too much problem putting the £400 or whatever I'll need together, but won't be booking till late on.

Direct scheduled flight with flyglobespan.com from Glasvegas to Athens is £157.60 including all taxes. Out Weds 31 May back a week later. If you don't wanna go for a week (and there is only one flight per week with globespan) the one-way is £78.70 and you can make your way back via Stansted for not much more using an Easyjet/Ryanair combo.

What you gotta understand with the budget airlines is that 9 times out of 10 it's gonna be cheaper to go via one of the London airports. And to get the best price prepare yourself for long waits at Stansted/Luton between flights. I was three hours at Stansted the other night comin back from CZ.

Have a look at the "Flight Checker" feature on moneysavingexpert.com which saves you HOURS in trying to get the best prices. Skyscanner.net is also good.

moneysavingexpert.com... great site, but that Martin Lewis what a nerd, doesn't like music and doesn't own any music recording or audio playing equipment. He did mention he was going to Athens for a visual of New Order.

I agree. The fella is a freak. I'm surprised there isn't a section devoted to "Strategies For The Avoidance Of Buying A Round And Paying For The Taxi Home". The site's awesome though. Saved a packet on me internet (madasafish.com) and changing my utilities provider. HOW FUCKING BORING DO I SOUND?!!!! Apologies.

very dull grahame, very dull.

looks like may be swithcing from greece to spain now - loads more decent bands on at spain...

I was still thinking about it but I think I'll be a no show. I'm meant to be going to a Wedding on June 3rd and it's England v Jamacia too.
