Holidays 2021

[shut up meg]

I was on the Ulleivi pitch 20 odd years ago, it was at New Year and the groundsman let us in.

Couldn't do fuck all as it was under about 3 foot of snow.

Like Bluto said, Gothenburg, Stockholm, Malmo and Copenhagen are all great cities to visit but it is a bit pricey.

what I find about these expensive countries in Europe is, ironically, they have the shittest stuff but it costs the most.

I just want to see another country if truth be told and tick Ullevi visit off the list. Wondered if Stockholm would be worth staying in. If the bars are decent enough and things worth going to. Usual tourist pish. 

Copenhagen will perhaps be another time as I very much have heard good things of the place.

Take the ferry over to Esbjerg from Newcastle in your motor and do the delights of Denmark and Sweden.

that’s a good shout

legoland is on that route

Hasn’t Ullevi been remodelled over the years? Pretty sure the turf has been relaid, I don’t get the appeal tbh.

Personal reasons if truth be told. CBA going into.

But something I wish to do.

Wasn’t aimed at you specifically Berto. Just find the pilgrimage thing a bit of a waste of time - would be ace if that thing that happens in movies was real though.

Ignore that, just realised you could probably take in a game which would at least make a bit more worthwhile. Visiting an empty stadium is sa-aa-aad

Has anyone been to Sweden?

Stockholm in particular.

I'm looking at a few days in August or September (I'll go by train to Gothenburg for the day for obvious reasons).

I've been to Stockholm. Went over for a scotland friendly in the Craig Levein era. 

Decent enough place. Bars were mobbed for obvious reasons. Hoora expensive though.

Still cheaper than a fucking pint of Peroni in Soul

What did you do when you were on the pitch? Just run about pretending to score and pish?

A wee bit of how's your father?

Was hungover and bunter. Just wondered on and took a few photos.

Got in the main entrance when a boy was delivering some parcels. Wondered through the corridor past all the offices and oot on to the pitch.
 

Lost the phone wi the photos a couple of years later while pished.  
 

Ah no.

6 quid a beer on average I read? Still cheaper than a fucking pint of Peroni in Soul, so I can deal with that.

Think I was about that for about 1/3rd of a pint of punk ipa in the Brewdog. Left after that and went to a local craft beer bar. Was a bit cheaper but still expensive.

I got the ferry to Fredericksburg (SP) and ah the Swedes were on it buying crates and crates of lager on sack trucks for their Xmas boozing.

Locals in Denmark and Sweden load up on supermarket beer before going out, places don't start filling till near midnight. Take your empties back to the shop and the next round is pretty cheap, really big on recycling, get money back on the plastic crate and empty bottles. Lived there a couple years, was ok but not somewhere I'd like to live all the time. The idea of a round to them was alien, lot of aggressive immigrants as well.

On most cans these days you will see "1 pant" on the side. 

 

Specifically on there for the scandanavian recycling market. 

 

Nuggets of information i am. 

My jazzy cans are always "2 pant" 

Clearly craft wankery comes in higher quality receptacles ?

You never visit Istegade, just round the corner from the station in Copenhagen. Jungle Princesses a plenty, Asians, Arabs and many other "shades" all selling different services. I have some Great/Terrifying memories from there. This street is also the location of the Spunk bar.

Stayed in that area, seen heaps of sex shops, lap dancing joints etc just nae many ethnics. Fuck knows, was maybe so smashed I've forgotten. 

Or maybe the craft beer wanker bars just don't attract them. Even in the "smoking" bars we visited there weren't any. 

Certainly nae compared to other European capital cities. 

[YorkDon]

Was looking at flights to Cusco as want to go to Machu Picchu, but the flights are double the cost of the trip itself, and it’s a two stopper, so would be a grueller.

Anyone on here done Machu Picchu?

[Bluto10]

Haha 

knew you’d have stayed there, near the craft-wankery bar triangle of mikeller\war pigs and fermentoren.

 

good area

 

imo\e the smoking bars and craft beer bars were the only thing of good value there
