Heartland

any ideas? just me and Mr Strange, to chill for four days. Not intending to fly anywhere... i just want somewhere pretty with nice shops and things to look at.
I need this break. don't let me down.
we could have gone and stayed with the inlaws in their cottage in teh lakes. i put my foot down about that.

Get on a plane to Venice. Might be a bit full of Nuns at that time of year, but it's the most wonderful place in the world. (Not that I've been many other places, cos Mrs T hates flying.) But even she says she'd get on a plane by herself to go back there.

cooo
i'd love too.. but went there for mr strange's birthday last sept... italy might be a trifle quiet at easter

brighton's pretty good fun for a quick break

definitely worth a look, i love it there

Glasgow, city centre, plenty of shops.

Chester. big walls, good food, many pubs

and we're The New Black which some folks round here would probably appreciate.

Yeah we got shops, traffic lights, everything. Go somewhere else. You'll like it. More.

Yet more hyperbole from some Ad Agency.
I live here as do you Red_K, at least it's not as bad as Motherwell

I love the place. Don't get me wrong. But it was a slow grower on me. Took a couple of years to fully appreciate. For a visit I would even recommend Edinburgh over this place, unless you are a shopping junkie, which I guess was your original point. Even then, stay in Edinburgh and get the train through for the day.

Fell in love with the capital in the 70s, saw what it really was in the 80s. A love affair ended. That 'fashionable' end of Leith thing etc. Doesn't stop me from enjoying those Rebus novels tho.

This man, Ken Stott was born to play him. Read the books, he looks, sounds and behaves the way a man of Rebus' age and background would.


not this dick


Having said that, the TV versions are pretty damn good.

Fnck off you Jocks. I'm feeling left out.

whitby is nice. or bridlington. or scarborough. anywhere on the north yorkshire coast really.

Yes. That's where we tend to take our holidays, cos Mrs T's not fond of flying. But you never know how much of it will be left, do you. The houses on the front @ Skipsea Sands seem to be getting perilously close to the edge...

Or Rome. Me and my GF went there over the easter 7 years ago.

We got engaged there

why is that embarrasing, rian???
i didnt get engaged, but i did propose, on Dunnett Head. As far north in scotland as you can get. i was a bit surprised when he said yes.. he'd been saying no for 6 years by then..

It's not embarrising. I was in need of a love emoticon. Or a kiss emoticon. This was the closest I could find

Sorry, her it is....

Mousehole, down near St Ives is really nice. We had our honeymoon down there. Little windy roads - nice pub, loads of stone circle and sites of interest. Strongly recommend it.

Wicklow is nice - but remember; if you're smoking its outside.
No chance of Eldritch doing a gig here again then...
