Why Paris? It's a dump. And it's expensive.
Because museums, galleries and buildings of historical importance.
And also one of the best Jazz and electro-pop scenes in Europe.
I guess you've not been before. Eurostar is your best bet.
When I was young and too immature to appreciate what I was seeing.
Don't be daft, it's a gorgeous city. Parts of it are chatty, but where can't you say that?
'Tis expensive though.
Dust capital of France. Most of the central city is a construction site, it's full of traffic and everyone is rude to everyone else except those who desperately want your custom (not many) and they'll be the exact opposite, annoyingly so. One of the most over-rated cities I've been to.
Do you speak any French?
Eating and drinking cheap will be tricky unless you pack some lunches!
Yes, but not to Parisians, they don't deserve the effort
I can see why they're moody and disrespectful though, moving to and living in that city. Everywhere else in France = awesome.
I had lunch at Walkabout while at uni. Was pretty quiet at that time.

This is a good plan. Brewdog is really great too.
What do you need? Package deals, transport, accommodation?

Both transport and accommodation. As for package or no package, it depends what's cheaper.
I don't know any package websites except expedia or a bricks'n'mortar travel agency.
Booking.com is best for hotel deals. Transport depends on what budget airlines fly from the airport you're flying from, or if you're travelling by train or ferry. Eurostar is best, but book now.

Head over to the Eurostar website. They usually have deals in September.

Sauchiehall Street is a blot on Glasgow these days. You turn round the corner from Buchanan Street and it's a total dump in comparison. The middle of it especially is dire, all the shops are closing and all that's left is shitty pubs and clubs. Considering it's one of the 3 main streets in the city centre, it's probably one of the worst overall.
Eh, fair enough. I love the place but then I accept a certain amount of 'grime' with any capital city. My missus seemed pretty happy when she lived there but then she dates me so she shouldn't be used as a yardstick for anything!
Your OkCupid experience has certainly worked out better than mine.
It's a fabulous social tool.

Suairyu, J Tourettes said to say that airbnb is great for cheap accommodation in Paris.
is he permabanned?
It took me about 2 years to be approved, so it's probably not worth it otherwise!

By being himself too soon. You have to wait for that shit, get a new IP address, dejunior and then ease back into it.
Today is much easier than yesterday, smoking wise. I suspect my body is lulling me into a false sense of security but for now I'm just grateful the pangs have stopped!
Yeah we do, that crazy cat.
JT if you alt your way back in, make it waaaaaay less obvious. Your codeword should be 'congress tart'.

It's entirely possible (although unlikely) that it wasn't Meadows fault that Kavanagh got banned. He did manage to call another member a twat in his short tenure IIRC. That might've been what did him in.
It was Meadows really though. The grass.

Given the mods watch this topic now, we'll have to treat J's new alt like he really is a new member, at least for a while. Also, build up some posts in unrelated topics, when you get to about 50-100 posts, one of us will 'happen upon you' in one of those topics and direct you here, and nobody will be any the wiser*

I'm glad you bought the three gears of war games. There the only video games awesome enough for my time. (and anyone else's time)
Was having a tense one vs one with a mate today and he was four kills up. I decided to start playing very aggressive and came back to win 10 - 8. That's how I roll yo. Push me into a corner and I will switch up my play style and own he who stands in my way.
Gears of war 3 is tense as fuck. So good.

World at War had a good singleplayer, MW2 and Black Ops were perfectly decent multiplayer games. I haven't touched MW3. I know it's popular to hate on COD nowadays, and for many good reasons, but to suggest that MW2 with a bunch of friends and drinks isn't fun is disingenuous

We should def get a Halo group going. I love it but never have anyone to play with since none of my mates actually game like I do (they suck).
