They're normally pretty resonable. I mean they do over charge compared to local rates but there are genuine reaons for that. Take into example the boat trip: You will get lifts too and from the boat, you can be assured that the boat will have all regulation saftey checks and be of a standard you would expect, there may be a rep from your tour aboard who will speak your language and maybe point out some sights etc. On average they put a 20-30% premium on the cost or something so its not too bad at all. As you said booking before your trip and gives you something to look forward to before you go and also you know it wont be a stressful negotiagtion in a foreign language once you get there. For £300-£400 you would definately expect a clean place with decent food. Just be sensible before you book check trip advisor reveiws and ratings of places. Places charging exactly the same can have vastly different oppinions of a place. Also don't get scared from looking at reveiws just go on a "general concencus" some people are just dicks and will moan no end about tiny things but don't let that put you off.

My holiday advise - (based on typical "sun" holidaying) I'm off to Turkey on Friday for £580 all inclusive for a week with the missis (£290 each think it may have been cheaper actually): 1. For me going away is mostly about price and sun. Keep it cheap get to the sun and do it more often then blowing all your money on 1 more lush experiecne. I get 5 weeks holiday with my job and would prefer to go on 2/3 holidays mini-breaks a year rather than 1 lavish holiday. I have done very expensive holidays in the past and to be honest if your by the pool in the sunshine with a beer it doesn't matter if your paying £200 or £1400 your still going to have a huge smile on your face and feel super relaxed! 2. Go close but far away enough - when your looking at prices generally the most expensive thing about the holiday is the flight so find places interesting and different but as close as possible 3. Go all inclusive - Not only does this make budgeting your whole holiday easier it makes the whole thing more easy to enjoy. You can go to the bar and get a beer whenever you want to and even if the food isn't great its always good enough for brekfast and lunch and you can go eat somewhere else for dinner and still easily make your money back in beer / ice cream. 4. Planning VS Non-Planning. There is always plently to do on holiday so don't worry about being bored. If you go with a travel agency you will be able to pick and chose what you do. For instance with my partner we have planned 2 days somewhere in the middle of the holiday. An all day boat trip and a swim with dolphins / water park day. This will let us walk the beach and see something fun - banna boats - paragliding - jet ski's etc and do these things more spontanious. 5. Money out there - people always prang about exchange rates etc. For the £200 or so you will spend out there dont get stressed just take a couple of debit cards with you and make withdrawls during your holiday. This means if 1 card gets blocked you always have another. Me and the missis will take £100 converted cash and take the rest out out there. If you have any more specific questions just ask

Got a UE Boom a few weeks ago. Its sick

I had a depressed missis for like 8 months during her phase of unemployment. You just gotta see it like this: - Your a nice guy - You want to make her happy - But your number 1 priority is keeping yourself happy So go along with it for a while - do everything you can to help her. But when it starts to piss you off just walk away and leave her to it for a while because THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO to make her happy. Nothing you can say - nothing you can do to resolve her issues for her. Shes got to deal with it on her own (with support from you). So yea tell her your there for her if she wants you and you will support her as much as you can but your not her punching bag and your not going to chump yourself off to please her. Saying that shit about your relationship is really just an attention seeking ploy. Explain that once your out of uni your going to be working all day Monday - Friday and the only quality time you will ever have together is at the weekends anyway so she should stop being such a bitch about it. If I were you I'd put her in the chiller and let her sweat it out for a while

4 Lattes a day kinda guy

F.errari I.nternal A.ssistance at it again today. No need to stop Q2 but Alonso's car needed fixing so it was only fair everyone else had to stop and wait. LIBERTYS Anyway good from Hammy but Vetel really out to prove himself now. Only now has he got the opportunity to show how well he can really drive in a car which should be 1 second off the pace.

Yea going back to that. I ignored it before but seeing as its been brought back up. First thing my Dadda told me on my first ever lesson. Driving 101. On the roads leave everyone room, anticipate and judge and beware of everything around you. you didn't slow over the speed bump and drove her into a dead end with your idiotic driving - even more stupid to post on a forum expecting sympathy. On my 20 minute drive to work through Essex on an average day someone will do something far more dangerous than that 10 times, but if you leave room it really doesn't affect me. You made that situation dangerous by being a dick.

To get caught doing something wrong you have to have done something wrong. Chill out.

You dont have a number plate on the front.........

Got paid my new job today they paid from the 10th-31st............ GET INNNNNNNN

First week back in work after a 2 month break. Already missed a deadline but didn't get shouted at. Seems pretty chill there. Not as good as snowboarding though.

In my last 2 years of full time work i have lost £3k and have no tangible assets. I was probably on above average wage for my age group. Lifes not easy here. I highly doubt unless you a skilled in a trade you could come here and get a decent job any time soon. There is plently of information online. When i was at college i worked at Sainsburys the Russian car cleaners worked every hour of the day and 14 of them lived in a 4 bed and had no luxury's - im not saying you would be that person but not all people come over here and live the English dream.

Maryhofen was sick....... just saying Got 360s over jumps Did the steepest run in Austria 78 Degrees Clocked 40mph on piste and get some off piste ragging also. Never been before so was chuffed to do all that in 3 weeks. Shame I broke 2 boards - one of those being a £450 Lobster OOOooooooooooooooooops

SHE BROKE UP WITH YOU! HE BE LIKE...........

You know you've drunk too much when you give the missus your card and tell her to do what she wants oh well... Big money eh!

On a diet so went straight up single malt. 2 glasses and a milky way later... I failed lol

Right so its new car time! I haven't documented my recent driving history but it hasn't been good! Took my Yaris off-roading just to one side of a busy dual carriage way into a tree, I was quoted £800 just to fix it (not even replacing pannels or anything like that) so I scrimped and sourced parts and managed to get the thing on the road and MOT'ed for £70! Which was a pain in the ass and took a "few" zip ties but well worth it! The car is now dented on every single pannel and looks like I've been banger racing (if anyone wants pics I can provide later). So just got a new job and the missis is complaining about getting the bus so f**k it time to just buy a better car. Probably have £2k to spend. I like the Audi A3 but seem a little bit out my price range - I can get an older BMW.... suggestions? In reality I just want something which looks pretty decent and wont be breaking down. My new work is close to home and if I were driving any real distance I would just take one of my dads company cars so fuel economy isn't my hugest conern but must be insurable! (oh yea forgot to add if its not German I'll be allowed to park it on the drive so that would be a bonus)

Would go with the LADS LADS LADS thing - but it truely does pay to be a nice guy. (Saying this I did f**k arround my GF of 3/4 years for a year before she convinced me to date so maybe it doesn't...... But I'm a nice guy now)

Boss pulled some strings at work and got me to start 2 weeks earlier than protocol. Start a week Monday now BOOM!

Right Dan if you gonna continue whining I need a pic before giving more advice.

Arsenal played at 3 so been drinking since then. Almost persuaded the misis to join TF as an agony aunt! Haha shes asleep in bed in the living room and I'm watching money ball with a glass full of whiskey... just got a f**king great job I'm about to start. Life is pretty bliss right now

Keep you D in but your head out. You should be cagey around someone who is cagey around you.

The nip isn't 100% - go flower in a cup and see if you got any pollen left

What you have to remember is she has been honest and hasn't lied to you. You would far prefer that she was decent enough to say what she was feeling and being respectful to you instead of her cheating on you. However there is still a massive break in trust between you, I think she will regret it too but for her to do that you have to keep face and just cut off contact with her for now - your emotional and will probably only say stupid desperate shit if you do contact her. You should be looking for someone who can give back to you what you put in anyway! Up to you if you want to go out. You can do whatever you feel like doing guilt free - if you go out and bang someone you have done nothing wrong. But really you should just do what you want - if you want to sit in and watch the notebook with a close friend then thats fine everyone will handle it differently. Just be careful of friends who will be like "lads on tour" now your single because you just need to get your shit straight asap.
