October 26, 20214 yr Been to Belfast loads of times. Love the place. Duke of York has best Guinness I’ve ever had but not that near anywhere else unless other bars have recently sprouted up Not that many places in the actual centre and I was told that’s a legacy of the troubles when they had the ring of steel searching folk going into the centre so pubs weren’t popular Only tips I would give are look carefully at a pub before you go in. If there’s hints of green, orange and white stay clear and avoid Sandy Row. Protestant but English folk not popular there for some reason
October 26, 20214 yr Just booked 19 nights parking at Glasgow airport in the short stay car park at the terminal and a nights hotel in the holiday inn for the princely sum of 91quid. Bargain

Might do the airport pick-up and tour of the paramilitary sites around the city if you ask nicely. You may well know him or his brother.
October 26, 20214 yr Finally managed to break free from fucking Wales for next year! Fuerteventura in Feb - booked. Barbados in Mar - booked. Blanes, Spain with Eurocamp in June/July - contemplating.

Negril is beautiful, loads to do, bars, beaches, nightlife Montego Bay if you’re not bothered by holiday makers. Ive been to Kingston but I have family there but I wouldn’t recommend it, it’s a bit dicey.

October 27, 20214 yr I cannot now fly out to SEA this Sat as planned as my 90 day visa wont arrive in time (my fault for the late application) so I’m bloody stuck here until it arrives. 😂😂 My son now flies out without me on Sat as he only needed the 30 day visa on arrival. He’s a lucky bastard on two fronts I guess….. 😎

Thailand ?as I’ve done the extension of a visa in Thailand and it took me an hour and a half and that including the train to the Visa office and back. Piece of piss. Cambodia easy as well Edited October 27, 20214 yr by Escobarp

No you can’t… Currently before you leave the UK you need a “Certificate Of Entry” to enter ThaIland. This changes on 1st Nov to what they describe as a “Thailand Pass”. To be granted either one of these you need proof of onward travel (ie. leave Thailand) within 30 days or a 60/90 day visa. Agents can arrange the 60/90 day visa but it takes a couple of weeks and this is where I came unstuck. All of the above requirements are in addition to numerous other requirements such as insurance, a T8 form and 3 PCR Covid tests!
