Minsk Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 anyone been to benidorm...? sticky vicky, kinky karen..? Loads of times, my parents lived there for 7 years - at the Poniente end. It's okay, if you like being surrounded by pi.sed up Brits on your holiday. Personally, I depart on Tuesday for 3.5 weeks to the Crimea and southern Ukraine. Starting in Yalta and ending in Odessa, with a few other places - including Balaklava and Sevastopol - enroute.
LGTL Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 Poor man's Magaluf. Have a word! Zante is off the scale, we had 2 people die and the mayor threatening to close everything down when we were last out there! Out of Malia, San Antonio, Kavos, Magaluf and Ayia Napa i'd go back to Zante everytime.

It depends what you want, but i'd choose Zante out of those three.

As you say Benidorm has a much larger age range as it's not really a big 18-30 destination which might suit you better.

As you say Benidorm has a much larger age range as it's not really a big 18-30 destination which might suit you better. done 18-30 before... cant think of anything worse. boring, false and dull..... when we went to tenerife, (was 18-30 through late booking) we got many of the excursions for free as we were the most lively lot there....(being forces types) and the constant hard sell was boring...even when we told them to fuk off many times

Junction 9 Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 I am going to Cyprus, I leave in an hour so any tips about the place need to be posted quickly.

You make your own agenda and fun. Plenty of loose women around though.
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 This. A much wider age range in Benidorm. No excursions. You make your own agenda and fun. Plenty of loose women around though. That would be loose as in: baggy, easy, flabby, flaccid, hanging, limp, loose, slack, unbuttoned, unhinged, unrestrained and wobbly then?
ericofarabia Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 Can somebody troll through all the posts and find the previous one and cut and paste my reply!! Next week a few days visiting dad in Eastleigh, a few days up and down the M6 between Leigh and Keswick and Carlisle ferrying daughters about.. ... and then same again in Sept but change Carlisle bit for Nottingham!! Also hope to catch a few games home and away time permitting. Rest of the year slumming it up in Dubai!!
Toomer Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 Mrs Toomer and I went on a 7 night cruise on the Azura in April and we are off on a 11 night cruise on the Independance in about 15 weeks time and we have already booked up on the Ventura for May next year.
Nexstar Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 Whereabouts in Kenya? I went there and to Tanzania on safari 3 years ago, great place. Nakuru, NW of Nairobi. I'm going with Kenyan Adventure, booked about 3 months before Saints announced their plans! Also doing a day trip - Safari, Thomson Falls and the Equator.
Thedelldays Posted 11 June, 2011 Author Posted 11 June, 2011 Benidorm sounds good. 6 sailors and filthy birds.. Sweet
bridge too far Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 Friends of ours live near Javea and, one day, they took us to Benidorm (their daughter was working as a Rep / Resort manager there at the time). We were amazed - we thought we were in Blackpool or similar! Hardly any real Spanish atmosphere at all. As some have said above, just loads of drunk Brits and very blonde older ladies with skin looking like leather. Whatever floats your boat, I guess (or sub in TDD's case)
Minsk Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 That would be loose as in: baggy, easy, flabby, flaccid, hanging, limp, loose, slack, unbuttoned, unhinged, unrestrained and wobbly then? Yep, all of those, although not necessarily all of them on every woman there!
Thedelldays Posted 11 June, 2011 Author Posted 11 June, 2011 (edited) so..benidorm has slappers of all ages and not just 18-21..? Edited 11 June, 2011 by Thedelldays
dune Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 7 days in Gibraltar then on to San Pedro (staying in a friends villa) for a further 7 days then back to Gibraltar for another 3 days. Flying into and out of Gibraltar airport (which i've always wanted to do).
dune Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 has anyone been to Sharm El Sheikh? Your mate Stu has I recollect.
Turkish Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 Your mate Stu has I recollect. Yes, i believe he has. He is not my mate btw, i've only ever met him twice. Once after the Pompey home game when i bumped into him in town and also had the misfortune of being in the same pub as him before the Bournemouth away game.
dune Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 Is he back posting on the UI again? During my brief forray over there he had just announced he was leaving the forum.
Thedelldays Posted 11 June, 2011 Author Posted 11 June, 2011 Is he back posting on the UI again? During my brief forray over there he had just announced he was leaving the forum. and my god are they laying into NC...
dune Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 and my god are they laying into NC... Good. If it's justified e.g ticket price.
Thedelldays Posted 11 June, 2011 Author Posted 11 June, 2011 Good. If it's justified e.g ticket price. no, not that...forcing the swiss trip on the players and trying to airbrush and make fans forget about ted bates
dune Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 no, not that...forcing the swiss trip on the players and trying to airbrush and make fans forget about ted bates ha ha, they all call you dulldays. http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/southampton/fb_mb.php?m=v&t=28756#56
Thedelldays Posted 11 June, 2011 Author Posted 11 June, 2011 ha ha, they all call you dulldays. http://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/southampton/fb_mb.php?m=v&t=28756#56 yeah..well funny haha
Thedelldays Posted 11 June, 2011 Author Posted 11 June, 2011 it made me laugh. simple minds and all that
dune Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 simple minds and all that I see verbal posts there too (still as nineteen canteen).
iansums Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 Back to holidays (although TUI is quite amusing). Recently back from New York, Tenerife for a fortnight in August.
Guest Dark Sotonic Mills Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 has anyone been to Sharm El Sheikh? A few man-eating sharks have; if I recall... :-(
barney Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 Flying to barcelona for a couple of days in august then boarding the carnival magic for two weeks of the western med.
dune Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 (edited) Tenerife for a fortnight in August. I love Tenerife. Are you planning on hiring a car? Have you been before? Took this of Teide christmas 2009. Edited 11 June, 2011 by dune
iansums Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 Third time to Tenerife, love the Canaries, we often go Easter time or late October (half-term). Have hired a car before and seen Mt Teide but this year we'll be having a very relaxing time just chilling by the pool. Will go to Siam Water Park for a day as a treat for my daughter (and me). TBH after Orlando last year and New York we really fancy doing bugger all and just relaxing in the sun. We're already looking at holidays for next year, the wife is talking about a cruise. We've never done one before and I'm not too sure if I fancy it.
cryoman1965 Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 Tenerife in July with the family then my annual lads long weekend to Magaluf in Sept. 15 of us going this year aged 40-50...
dune Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 If you're doing the drive along the coast taking in Los Gigantes and Masca I would recomend Buena Vista Del Norte for a meal. There are several restaurants and it's good local food (seafood the speciality) at reasonable prices. Just look for where the locals are eating and you can't go wrong.
Minsk Posted 11 June, 2011 Posted 11 June, 2011 7 days in Gibraltar then on to San Pedro (staying in a friends villa) for a further 7 days then back to Gibraltar for another 3 days. Flying into and out of Gibraltar airport (which i've always wanted to do). Gibraltar was the destination of my first ever flight. It's fun!!
