lapal_fan Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) Well obviously I'm back now and it was a great weekend. But I think it was through more luck than judgement. And I've since spoke to the stag who's instructions were "drinking and chilling", so it looks like the organiser did follow those instructions. But I'm of the opinion that if I'm somewhere new for a short period of time, I wanna see everything I possibly can whilst I'm there. We walked to the Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie, Hitlers Bunker (a car park now), the memorial of dead jews (very sobering), the Brandenburg Gate and up the TV Tower, but I dunno, it seemed a bit meandering. I'd have gone on a segway tour or something, because they're fun, you see the sights and its a laugh. He got lucky. Also, had a pretty good weekend this week too, had Cricket on Friday, Saturday was quite calm so I spent the day playing with my kid (took him swimming for the first time ever which was funny!) and on Sunday was my first fathers day so I took my old man to the cricket and had a few beers with him in the Hollies stand. 10/10 would definitely have that weekend again.

Sounds like a good weekend. We saw the location of Hitler's Bunker as well when we went, although as you say, its a residential car park now for a block of flats. Some great sights in Berlin. Plus the beer's not bad either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I used to be the tour guide for walking tour in Berlin. Did they tell you about the Swedes and drinking boots of oil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted June 26, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2015 Tomorrow is mine and the good lady wife's annual trip to the 'Step back to 40's' exhibition at Highley Station (part of the Severn Valley). Always an enjoyable day out, people always put a lot of effort into the costumes etc and if you like your war memorabilia (as I do) then they have some great military vehicle displays. They do battle re-enactments too, which are always pretty well done - this year is an attack on a train by Allied Paratroopers. As the missus is a photographer she absolutely loves it there and always gets some great shots. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 I wasn't going to bother having a drink tonight because I had a decent whack of it last night before we went to the cinema but as the day has progressed I find myself pondering over the possibility of 8 cans of Stella and a drop of rum. So with that in mind it'll be cans and curry tonight Tomorrow will be reading game of thrones Sunday will be finishing orange is the new black and thinking about dinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 moving house - the annual move. bored of this now, still should be where I move to for at least a couple of years assuming the landlord doesn't take the piss with the rent next year. Got so used to packing light, have eviscerated my library One day I will buy it all back... one day. On the plus side was given some Jamesons for no particular reason by a mutual friend, so I shall at least enjoy some whiskey this evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted June 26, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted June 26, 2015 I couldn't drink 8 cans of Stella (let alone the rum). And if I could, I definitely wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted June 26, 2015 Author Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'm normally like that but I ain't seen my mate for a good while so we were always going to have a drink, strangely enough neither of us went for a piss during the film either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
