 AS a massive fan of ignoring pointless threads about 70s garage rockbands
	AS a massive fan of ignoring pointless threads about 70s garage rockbandsI've got a week off in august. i turn thirty, and i've got an unexpected budget for holiday shenanigans.
Where is a nice place to go that's abroad, not too expensive, not turkey or sweden cos i've been there, and that's not primarily a hellhole mecca for chavs who want shitty bleeping music and 40 degree heat to accompany their stella, fish and chips, and west ham on the tellybox, like fuckin ibiza or magaluf etc?
alt question: shittest place you've ever been on holiday?
alt alt question: ever been struck down by the brown god due to being in forrin climes? i haven't, but the hotel in sweden i stayed at did something with bacon that rendered it disgusting, a feat i thought impossible!

 i'm not talking successful people
	i'm not talking successful peoplei'm talking rich people.people who are rich before the placenta's even been thrown away. people who could drop out of school at 11 and develop a crippling smack habit and still be able to afford a learjet.
i'm successful enough in what i do, i get a decent wage, for the industry i'm in, but i don't have any financial backup, i basically have whatever i earn.. so i'm neither rich nor poor, i just have a very volatile cash flow.

	When I was 10, we went to Italy, not too far from ArezzoI couldn't stand it at the time, as I was bored shitless. Now, I'd love to go back there. Was absolutely fantastic scenery.

Altalt: I took a walk to Sainsburys and got a pint of milk that looks nothing like a pint of milk because its a squashy looking fucker and a bottle of Soave. I went to the self-checkout and scanned the milk, prentended to scan the wine and payed 49 whole pennies for the lot. I then got myself a chip buttie with lashing of vinegar and sat in my car eating them and drinking the wine whilst reading 'I' and listening to Sarah Cocks on the wireless. My lunch break is over now but I still have a little bit of milk left.
