admira Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 (edited) Thoroughly enjoyed the Carnival Lampegat in Eindhoven at the weekend. Possibly the most bonkers weekend I've ever witnessed, even more mad than Newcastle away 2009. Almost everyone was in fancy dress and the beers flowed 24/7. I've been to Mardi Gras in New Orleans and that wasn't a patch on this, those Dutch are craaaazy! Highly recommended!

A friend of mine who has ginger hair went to a festival for redheads last year and had a brilliant time. He came second to a 6' 3" drag queen in a Stiletto race 😅 https://redheaddays.nl/ Comrade 86 and admira 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Booked 4 days in Cologne for the end of June around the dates of England’s last group game. Belgium v Romania also in Cologne when we’re there. No tickets for any games but hoping I might be able to find some when over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Just booked 11 nights Cyprus (Nissi Beach) for the end of May half term, at our favourite hotel (Olympic Lagoon). I'm not making the same mistake as last year and going in August - waaaay too hot!. Also have bought a new tent this year, after the previous one was damaged by getting covered in tree sap last spring - so will be doing a few camping long weekends in the UK from June-September.

I used to work for a German company,Bayer Leverkusen,and went to Cologne on an induction course,my father told me to look at the cathedral as he sang in an English choir when he was at school,and told me of the massive columns supporting the roof and how many children linking hands it took to surround one pillar.All that area was obliterated by english bombs in the second world war,but the bomb aimers left the cathedral untouched,hows that for accuracy.
