My nans are both dead
So I can say Christmas without fear (I love that time of the year)

As well, I'm going on a sort holiday at the end of September (but I'll be back to help waking up AA, don't worry)

Mi brother is coming to visit at the begining of October.

My hen do is in the middle of October in Granada.

I'm sure November will bring something, although I'm not sure yet. Maybe a weekend in the isle of Wight.

I'm taking 3-4 months holidays at the end of November.

This winter is going to be great! (I never thought I'd say that again, since I discovered what the real winter was)

Have you been to Granada?

It looks very odd to me.

I can't see youtube here
I've been in Granada several times and I like it. At least the Granada in Spain. I don't know if you mean something else.

I was there last weekend!
It was awesome. England is so rubbish.

Amen on post holiday blues
My Dad said to me the other day "Son, I think you're bloody stupid to still live in this country, if I were you I'd move to Australia or New Zealand. This country's gone to shit."

So has most of the civilised world, though.
The grass may look greener, but hop over the fence and you'll find it's still covered in dog shit.

At least
It's not raining there, and you can see the shit in the morning because there's sun at 7am. And in summer, you can go to sleep at 10pm if you want without having to cover your windows with black sheets.

I agree
Nowhere's perfect, I think I'm just fed up with living in a small town (although prolonged periods in cities annoy me), and too many things I see in the news in this country make me loudly say "Oh for the love of God...".

I expect too much, and am very rarely able to be content with my lot, that's my problem.

The state this country's in at the moment
makes me despair, but there are many good things about living here all the same.

Plus, I like the area I live in. Ten minutes from the coast, 20 to the hills, and a fairly decent city just half an hour away.

I agree with your father
My problem is that Mark loves this place. We've agreed to move to somewhere mediterranean in 2 years and give it a try. Let's see.

Did you get your free tapas with your drinks?
I know of a lot of foreigners who don't, but you should get them.

I never bloody did
Did have some nice tapas in Ciutadella though, mmmm albondigas!
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 13 Sep 2010, 14:24, Reply)

Oh, but that's only in Granada
There, you get free tapas with each drink. The more drinks you have in the same bar, the better the tapas.

What kind of retard doesn't take free food?
Yes I did, and with the exception of one thing, they were all bloody magnificent. Drinking enough sangria to make me quite giddy and it only costing about £8 was excellent too.

I know
That's why I'm doing my hen do there! Cheap nice hotel, moderate price tickets, but very cheap drinks and free food!!

pah
you don't know a real winter until you've had one here

also, ooooooooooooooh hen do

anything special planned?
( Lisette von Falcon, Mon 13 Sep 2010, 14:07, Reply)

I don't know
Winter in Sweeden was pretty bad... And last year in Manchester was awful. I hate the snow, and the ice, and the cold, and the dark mornings, and the rain.

I haven't planned anything. In theory, my bridemate is doing it, but as I know her well, I'm pretty sure there'll be nothing ready when we get there. I had to get plane tickets and hotel for all of us :)

It doesn't matter, really. Granada is great and I know where to go to have a good time. As long as they don't make me wear a pink hat, I'm happy.

Well
I'm sure we'll do something in Tenerife. Do you know when you're going?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Mon 13 Sep 2010, 14:23, Reply)

I'm going to try to get there a few days before the wedding to see you.
I should be able to be there for a week.

Great!
I'll send an email soon with a lot of questions, explanations and planning!
