Cyprus tourism on downward spiral.

Feel free to talk about anything that you want.

Still 1 Zloty each Phoenix. British stags what a disgrace, drunk, rude, not all though. I am glad to see the Polish cracking down at long last.

Ahem....please do not confuse Cypriot stags with British ones. Biggets difference being that in a cypriot stag above booze and strippers you will find that good food is a priority.

Thank god for that. The British stag has a very poor reputation accross Europe.

Thanks for that! :P

I was confident that a regular at McDonalds would be along to correct my spelling – I expected it to be Simon tho. :?

LOL! Not been to McDonalds for over 20 years - recently watched a documentary on 'fast foods' which will deter me for the rest of my days from eating in any of these outlets. I'm just focused on spelling and it's bound to be 'sods' law' that I slip up, so we may have another case of pot, kettle..... :lol:

Yeah the horse-drawn coach drivers always seemed to know when to stop and sweep up the manure off the roads ...

And so many Catholic Churches everywhere you looked .. tacked in unbelievably between any old building ... Marvelous place ....

Aren't the pretzels 1 zloty each still?


I was just there 3 weeks ago!! Had an excellent Bachelors weekend. (Yes the Cypriot stag do's are following the British ones)

You won't believe what you can get Polish police to do for you if you give them enough money :lol:


OK Vre DT. .... what are you going to tell us you got up to now? ..... and did you take your dentures out? :lol:

Is that the Super Size Me one? Personally I thought it was fairly obvious to not eat McDonalds every day. I mean surprise surprise... Bit like don't drink hard spirits all the time. Have to be a bit of a twot to cock that one up. By the end of it I really fancied a burger :) And yeah, I haven't been to McDonalds in about 15 years (I'm 35 to give some perspective). Personally I adore my old home made ones on the barbie, and if do go out to have a burger then I'll go to TGIs. Probably not amazingly better for you than McDonalds, but we are talking once every 4 months or so. Main reason is McDonalds tastes like pap, and secondly a friend of mine was a manager in a McDonalds for a few years, and without going into detail, she won't go near the place ever again. Apart from a McFlurry. Actually I lie. I did take my niece a few years ago for a happy meal and I got a McFlurry. Damn nice those things. Probably made out of polar bear bones or something...

Cheers
