Was Thassos full of bees landing on you all the time? They were when l went there in 1981 they were a right pain and the then missus had to stay in all day long!
can't remember really. Must be over 30 years ago when we went. Stopped in Golden Beach which was nice but quiet.Remember going to the Greek night which seemed to take an age to get to because it was the other side of the island and the only road on the island was the coastal road all the way round.
 
Blame Yeatman and Sellar for mine. Laughed like a drain when I read their seminal work.
Also with a bit of HMHB thrown in for good measure.
 
The Emirates was very good. Shame about the result.

The first time we went to Wembley against Torquay was a great experience. Never thought the day would come when I would see us on the hallowed turf.
Good times had by all i reckon, i have enjoyed a few trips to Wembley myself but didn't go to that one.
 
51….year I was born….and definitely feeling my age now😳
Bleach….name of our ( now moved) neighbours cat…well actually he was actually called Theo but he looked like he had been bleached….and he spent as much time with us as he did with his “ real “ family.
My other half is not fond of cats full stop but Bleach was the exception.
The avatar is actually very new…not the photo…it is mrs bleach,me and our niece many many many moons ago taken in the botanical gardens Penang.
Said niece is shall we say a very interesting person( and we are very fond of her)….judge Her work by googling SKLO ( Singapore)…oh and she loved the T Shirt…pretty sure it gave her inspiration….and yes I still have mine😂
 
How did you find it living there?
Brilliant Shandy l can’t say enough great things about the place and in particular its location to other countries in easy reach. It’s changed a lot since l first went to live there in 1990 but where hasn’t. I still visit a couple of times a year and enjoy it like I’ve never been away.

I was last there( well ok not exactly true as we flew in and out of Munich airport on our way to and from Singapore a few years back)in 1966…when I had the great pleasure of staying with a family during the World Cup where I watched the final in their home with of course German Commentary on a very small black and white TV…..a moment I will never ever forget🥳…no “ they think it’s all over for me” that day😂

That sounds a lot worse than last year when we were in Quinta De Lago, Portugal, we were pestered all day with flies, at least they've no sting.

Funny enough once we moved down the coast to Feraguido for the second part of our holiday we never saw a single one.

Only been to dusseldorf and cologne. I know munich is very different with better weather. Do bavarians see themselves differently?
 
I wanted Blackpool FC as my username but it was taken. So I thought well noir is black in French, no one will have that, turns out I was right! I’ve got no links to France either, so don’t know why I plumped for French. My avatar is me around my 5th or 6th birthday I’m guessing!

I think they do Shandy as Bavaria is a very wealthy part of Germany because of its location and as you say the weather is better but can be extremely cold in winter due to the Alps. Munich is relaxed and the people nice and friendly, but what sets it apart for me are the Biergartens in the summer months, they are unique to Munich which you don’t get anywhere else in Germany from my experience anyway. Where else can you get up to 8000 people slurping 6%ABV beer with never a hint of trouble?

Wasps have always been a major problem on Thassos, If the rain doesn't come in May to kill off the nests, it's a nightmare to those who fear them. In 2004 they had to close all the tavernas on Golden Beach due to a wasp invasion. Quite often you will see coffee granules burning on silver paper on taverna tables because the smoke repels the wasps.
 
Different people follow different rules. Some count teams. I've seen us play at 209 grounds but am missing 7 League teams; despite already seeing us play Wimbledon at two grounds for example, I haven't been to their new one.

We've not played an open game against the bottom three on my list. Harrogate was in covid behind closed doors. Cup replay with FGR would be welcome.

Tottenham
West Ham
Brentford
Wimbledon
Sutton
Harrogate
Forest Green

If we're not playing them, what's the point of going 😉🤣
i’m same Wizz but add on Stevenage for now 😜. but as you say people count different ways. It would be great if sutton and forest green (unless we have a draw in the fa cup) fall come May.
