  1. I remember this discussion last year.  So guess you enjoyed it. 

     

    We were looking at Fuertaventura but could not get anywhere so ended up in Crete.  Loved Crete and fully recommend.

     

    Derren

    It was May this year Derren we loved the sun,Paid £223 all inclusive then that really was a bargain,Could have got one for £270 this time but trip adviser had a few bad reports about that hotel.so went for the Aloe.Did look at Crete a couple of months back but things happened and we had to forget about it for a month or two.

  2. Just booked a week all inclusive to the Aloe club resort in Corralejo,Anyone been there.Bit dearer this time but its from my local airport Leeds Bradford,£308 each all in.Booked a car at autoriesen as per last time.I think the cars gone up a bit this time 88 euros but i take the top up to cover wheel damage and undercarriage.Thats about an extra 20 euro's on top of the 88 euro's.I'm sure it was 88 all in last time.

  3. I once timed the wife cooking some bacon one morning ,In the normal oven it took about 35 minutes from start to finish.I saw a small oven at Lidl £20 in them days £30 now,Bought one stuck it on the worktop and when the wife saw it she said it'll never get used,Well was she wrong it gets used virtually every day.Bacon takes about 10 minutes in it,Won't take a chicken but chops chicken breast pizza's etc its perfect.She wouldn't be without it now,And it must have saved a fair bit of money in electric.

  4. Its unbelievable in this day and age for us to be forced to pay for a tv channel.I think if they make it a non criminal offence,I might just risk not having one as if they catch you and start proceedings you could just pay for the licence.They would probably drop the case then.When i think of the cash iv'e spent on a bbc licence over the years it does me off.

  5. How was your holiday Denish in the end, any photo's? What was hotel and car hire experience like, weather etc? Come on fill in the gaps for us lol

    Had a fantastic week Jamer stayed all inclusive at the sol lanzarote near the airport £860 for me and the mrs seaview room overlooking the pool Could watch the planes flying in just above the sea,Lovely hotel food fantastic,Loved that place we will be going back,Didn't bother with a car this time i just wanted to chill out and do sod all as i'd just done 16 weeks 6 days a week working.We did a couple of coach trips one to a market in Teguise,And a trip to play blanca which we loved,Probably go there next time to the Rubicon if i can find a deal.Weather 25c to 30c all week cars are dirt cheap to hire i will hire one next time.I'll sort some pictures out later.

  6. Manchester i did have a look at autoreisen and the all in with insurance doesn't cover tyres wheel rims etc,I know its a scam to get more insurance money out of us.We had that scam in Marbella in june.cost us an extra £100 on top of rip off petrol and hire £460 with a full tank for a piccaso in june this year.We made sure the low petrol light was flashing when we took it back.

  7. Jamer where do you get car hire for £76,I just had a quick serach and was getting quotes around £330 for a week.I got a week all inclusive at the sol Lanzarote for £430 each all in.Including free parking at manchester and £20 of euros on a cash card thrown in.

    Just found cabrera medina car hire seem cheap unless theres a catch.

  8. Well I found Manchester for the 14th - 7 nights good flight times depart 0615 arrive Lanzarote 10.45, so you have that whole day, returning 21st departing Lanzarote 1120 arriving back into the UK at 1550. £949 including 1 x luggage 

    This would be staying at the Be Live Grand Teguise Playa Hotel in Costa Teguise (4 Star) all inclusive. This is a really nice hotel we have stayed there many times. 

    You could stay at Club Siroco for probably £150 less all inclusive but its 3 star and more of a complex than a hotel, still nice as we have stayed there too.

    Depends if you want 3 or 4 star, let me know your budget and I will find more choices but I normally use Travel Republic or Alfa Rooms as my starting point. 

    Be adventurous like me and hire a car, now this hotel is only 15 mins from the airport but the price is the best part only £76 for the whole week! Collect from airport and return to airport, I use this company all the time and they are brilliant! Almost cheaper than transfers and you have the added bonus of being able to explore the island at your own pace, nothing to it! Really

     

    Thanks jamer was hoping for around £400 do you book flights seperate then find hotels,3 or 4 star should be ok .

  9. I don't think anyone should be named until convicted, that's the first thing and I also think if compensation and money were taken out of this completely, most of the claims would diminish, there is a great debate going on on my facebook page where I have used some of your opinions (unamed of course) that I would welcome you all to join, search for Colin James https://www.facebook...88&notif_t=like

    Feel free jamer i would post on your facebook site but theres no option to comment.

  10. I bet not one of these women would have come forward if they didn't think there was money in it,50 years then ruin a celebritys life without them being named is disgusting if there case is lost then these women should be named and shamed.Its a frigging joke.

  11. Totally agree with Fonz far too many disabled spaces at most supermarkets,And very rare i see someone with a blue badge who actually looks disabled.The system is wrong if there genuinely disabled thats fine they deserve help. But i would say the majority are just scroungers milking the system.

  12. I agree i usually park between 2 for that reason.Some real dickheads about how they pass a test is beyond me,I once came back to mine to find i couldn't get in because some dick had parked so close.I had to get in the passenger side luckily i was able to get my boot into his door to leave a nice big dent in it.

  13. Do you think it would be cheaper with anyone else running it.I doubt it all companys in this shit hole of a country want to rip us off for every penny they can get away with with the worst service they can get away with.
