London is too far for the northern based posters, while Brum/Stafford is in the middle of the country (hence why it is called the MIDLANDS) (southern morons  ) Solly Shinny!  Inclusive drinks are a great plan, and we shall have them too sometime I hope... as you say, somewhere like Coventry! (oh dear!) Actually bits of Brum are quite nice so maybe that'd be an idea sometime...  In the meantime though this was just cos me and Hurls thought we'd get a few of the London crew (and anyone else who can be bothered) to live it up Southside... It is WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too expensive in London lol! i'm being dragged to Plymouth this weekend and I only have £20! don't think i'm eating ;D |

Latvia, if you want stuff really cheap 500 cigarettes for £3, if anyone fancies it! Poland (and Estonia) will do for now, not objecting to Latvia though! Yes but which cigarettes? recognised brands or "crushed leaves in crepe paper"   |

I believe the survey that was based on was looking at Marlboros, though I could be wrong... Latvia's much prettier than Poland or Estonia anyway, as are the women! This is the city where my friend lives  Really? Fair play then... Riga does look nice, reminds me a lot of Tallinn though. Admittedly Krakow isn't *quite* as nice... The women of Estonia were spectacular though! As for Krakow... I got neck ache, my head was turned so often!!! ;D |

you don't wanna go to Latvia or anywhere like that - peeps get diddled out of cash and stuff over there, and if they don't pay they get beaten up! |

I have heard of a little dodginess involving Latvia, but I don't think it's that bad Billy. Tallinn was absolutely brilliant in June/July 05... warm and sunny, beautiful town, cheap local beer and cheap good food, beautiful locals! |

I know a few people in Riga, two of whom - to be brutally honest - speak better English than probably 70% of the members of this message board (and in one case, this is on top of knowing fluent German and learning Japanese!) I'm sure they'd be more than happy to take care of us on an excursion out there ;D Essentially, you just have to avoid the dodgy areas - and that applies to just about every country worldwide! |
