Just for the entertainment value, let's not tell GB how to get there and hear how he gets on when/if he gets back

Reminds me of a golfing comp I won and the final was played in portugal.

First night (Friday) these 3 guys went out in their hire car (provided in the prize) and didnt come back till the monday (day to fly home)

What happened to them? Well they drove accross the boarder into Spain (unknowingly) and didnt have their passports. Went into this little bar which they were soon joined by 3 ladies. Friendly conversation took place and 2 hours later, and 6 bottles of Asti (they bought this cos they thought it would be cheap) - the ladies left and they were presented with the bill.
Worked out to be close on £600 (each bottle was £100) and they didnt have enough money. The people kept them "prisoner" until monday morning, then drove them to a bank and got them to withdraw the £600

HOW STUPID can you get?!?

Oh and yes, they made the mistake of telling me in confidence - needles to say it was the main story in the golfing magazine that was covering the event

Sounds perfect Tighty I could easily do 11 of those if it werent a family holiday.

I'll not tell you my plans for bhoys only tours to Europe :Dn

Got how I love European football - best experience we ever has was in Amsterdam, needless to say Celtic weren't playing theer we where in Germany but it worked out muchness cheapness gpoing through Holland.

We got embroiled in a wee tangle with some gooners (hooligans) when they decided to attack a drunken Celtic fan who was on his own in Teasers family orientated lap dancing clubs! 

I was there with me Da, Cousin, Uncle and a Mate - we obviously stuck up for the drunken Celtic fan all the guy did was fall when he was drunk and got a bottle over the head.  Along with 3 West Ham boys the riot that took place was unbelivable more bottles tables and charis smased than in yous standard westerrn saloon.

Anyway the tales that spread across the internet where legendary - apparently Celtic Hoolies CSC (Celtic Soccer Crew) had turned over the Gooners in the Dam

Although the Celtic hoolies where no where near the dam they where being pursued by Football Intelligence from Glasgow all the way down South onto the boat to France where they spent the next 2 days on a bus travelllng to Germany trying to loose the scottish cops!!

There is a big bus terminal in a new leisure development on the outskirts of Lisbon,this has a good srevice to all parts of Portugal you need to check local time tables for those, I can't remember what its called but it is marked on the underground network as is the benfica ground. There are not a lot of bars around the ground so the best place to get a drink pre match is in the main square in the center of Lisbon this is also on the underground.
