If you mean the photo of you holding up a replica European Cup, then that costs extra anyway... Cheapest option is to get someone to go with you with a camera! :)

Me and John just picked it up and got a couple of sneaky one's with the European Cup when we were there in 2004 :wink: Liam yer best bet is a tour with the museum, you get taken to the changing rooms then down the tunnel and upto the dugout, then a wander upto the museum and more chances to walk round the stand, so plenty of chances of picture opportunities.

I swear someone just walked over my grave when I saw 'Avinguada Diagonal'.

Brrrrr.

7am on the Sunday last year. Everyone's tempers being tested. Vinnie in full-on moan-mode. Greg looking to smack something very hard. Darren having phone sex every ten metres.

The longest walk of my life :blackeye:

Bloody Tube engineering work :nonono:

Where's the throbbing feet smilie? :dead:

I dont know why NO ONE adopted the strategy that me and dave adopted the night before. Which was, walk in the opposite direction in which everyone else is going, and sooner or later, a taxi will come along. Took us what? Ten minutes to get a cab?

Alex had me and Janette walking in so many different directions it was ridiculous. A most stressful end to a fine day out.

Dave,

I get in tonight at 1918 tonight. Is their a boozer on or near the station? Never actually set foot in Milton Keynes...

Eh?

We did.

But thanks for the education lesson on how to get around in foreign cities, Liam. :lol:

Oh. i assumed with the short tempers that there was a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, with everyone having a better idea of where to go...

Speaking of which, everyone should prepare themselves for looking for a taxi on Thursday, Friday and Saturday...

The hotel's only a mile away this time! :lol:

Not like last year's fcuking palaver. :nonono:

Just you wait... :shades:

I wonder how many attempted muggings there'll be this year?!

First year we went there was Jeanette and Mike.

And Hibster's mate nearly had his finger bitten off when he intervened elsewhere! :lol:

15 Jul 2008, 05:54

Oh, I'm not talking about muggings...

But, in response to the question, probably quite a few...

What i'm more concerned with is, how many times will a taxi driver rip someone off? I'd say at least five.

Yes, a relief - only takes about 10 to 15 minutes to get back to the hotel - superb stuff! :)

Looks like I'm out too folks at this juncture. Have lost el passporto!! Even drove into work at midnight to dismantle my desk in case I'd left it there.

Meeting Shuugy Bear in Lutonia at 11am to give him his tickets but beyond that it's not looking good pour moi.

I knew I should've unpacked this house earlier! :\ohwell: :laugh:

Ouch, hope you find it.

I've had a smooth recovery from lastminute.com sending my Summercase ticket to the house in Scotland (I'm sure I opted for venue pickup!) but "Royal Mail By 9am" and my Mum have saved the day just in the nick of time.

Ticket in hand and just about to leave for Lahndahn Bridge.

Nah, it's gone. Have to face facts. Doh! :banghead:

Cambo's lot in Norn Iron were dead nice on the phone, but this ain't really an emergency and it'd be 24hrs anyways before I could get an emergency passport.

If only I'd realised a week ago I'd be alright! :lol:

I'll probably bump into you at Lutonia Aerporto anyways. I could do with a quick drink!! :\ohwell:

17 Jul 2008, 02:00

Jump a flight to Aberdeen, Al.

I'll help you drown your sorrows.

And you don't need a passport for here.

Yet.

17 Jul 2008, 02:01

Oh and have a nice time everyone :hi:

17 Jul 2008, 18:19
