i avoid it at all costs. i know so many people that won't consider living in an area that isn't on a tube line. i don't get it. the overground is the way forward. the tube is absolutely revolting, especially at rush hour. Which leads neatly on to "people who think you must be a savage and/or mentally ill just because you live south of the river (and pay a hell of a lot less for doing so)". Although on Tyneside it's true. Well aye, that and you'd have to be mad to want to incur Stevie's wrath.

I bet you fly to Ryanair airports on good faith expecting them to be somewhere near the city they're named after, too.

Oh and Peter Tatchell is a wanker.

Byker and Katrineholm.

If you do end up going to Prague, I started a thread on here before I went in November and there are some canny tips from people in there.

So they've edited the "slut" line too, but the "faggot" one is the one that gets the headlines. How tedious.

As long as you don't stand up afterwards, etc. etc. Trent from 12 sounds grand.

Aye, I go to Stockholm about once a year on average, though it usually coincides with their Eurovision national final and a weekend of listening to shite music in dodgy gay bars and clubs, which one suspects isn't quite what you had in mind. It's definitely not a publess city, anyway - though Leazes is right insofar as the Swedes do go about their drinking in a different kind of way to us, and anywhere other than Stockholm can be a bit bizarre for a night out. Anyway, if out-and-out destruction is what you're after, there are certainly better places within a cheap flight's reach - not sure I'd recommend Frankfurt mind, unless you'd have free accommodation there... If you want somewhere that's canny to mooch around during the day too, though, then Stockholm can be lovely for that, especially if the weather's playing nice. As for concrete going-out tips, I reckon someone else like Chez's brother or one of our resident Swedes (if we even have any left?) would be a better bet. But obviously, do come back to me if any of your lot decide they want to discover the pink side of life.

That's what I'm already getting you man. Hush.

Does it still count if I'm wearing gloves like a soft southern pansy?

Also born in the General. Lived round the corner from there at first, then "precisely" 3.3 miles from the ground until I was 18 and traitorously escaped to The SOUTH (via The MIDLANDS and The HUN). Howzat rate on the Magnessometer, Unky Stevie?

Austria's greatest export since Hitler.

That "I come from a land down under" song was canny.

I hope you aren't crying off. You gay or something? I think the world should know that I've since whispered sweet nothings into Alex's ear to reassure him of my devotion.

Goes by the name of Pancake. Controls the doormen (and drugs) in and around the european capital of benefit fraud. Pancake FFS, what a shit gangster name. He'll flatten you if he hears you saying that Not if you batter him first.

If it's what I've had you've got fucking no chance mister. The pustulant sores haven't broken out yet, so I may still be OK.

I'm a night owl by nature, I've never been happier than when I was freelancing and could work deep into the night with a whisky in front of me and some decent music blaring out. That said, late-night flights are rubbish unless you're being picked up at the other end (or you're flying to a country with competent public transport). Should I have been taking this seriously, by the way?

I've got a bit of Gemmill's man flu, I think. Will take this afternoon off and huddle under a blanket to make myself better for Fulham tomorrow....

Happy birthday, whoever you are.
