    [Travel] Easyjet (or other Airbus operators) experts

    So if it is an A319, with Easyjet, seats 1A to 1C have no bulkhead and as near unlimited leg room as you can get on such a carrier. Their A320 and A321 do have some form of wall in the front row. The emergency exit seats are probably your best bet. The A321 have the most leg room in the...

    [News] Christmas Markets

    Bearing in mind the numbers there it was more of a rally.

    [News] Christmas Markets

    To fair, most of them in Germany have nothing you actually want to buy. Normally an extensive range of pork based food, hot wine and wooden rubbish. Finding ones with heated bars is the trick. Cannot stand gluwein and drinking a beer in sub zero temperatures is novel for about 90 seconds. The...

    [News] Christmas Markets

    I will go to the one near the opera house on Unter der Linden. Has a decent bar in it, which is heated.

    [Football] EURO 2024 - Official Thread

    At least it is in Munich, so do not have 3 days of bagpipes being played in Berlin. The best fans is the world blind drunk, pissing in the street, sleeping rough and not washing. Moritzplatz U Bahn is already a haven of rough sleepers taking crack and smack and I suspect the Tartan Army...

    [Albion] What’s the worst away day in the 92?

    Ninian Park and the Vetch were 2 that were always a mix of interesting and lethal. That 2-2 draw at the Vetch on a Friday night around 1999 is still one of those how did we survive. Not helped by being thrown out of our digs at 1130pm, breaking back in at 1am, sneaking back out at 7am and...

    [Albion] "I think he's an Albion fan", Amsterdam/Ajax edition

    German bureaucracy got in the way of doing the legal bit in Berlin, pesky auslander. So 15 minute job in Copenhagen, then beers in Mikkelar.

    [Albion] Was there a better site than Falmer

    Weird reading this having lived through the struggles to actually get a ground in Brighton and Hove. This season the pre game transport has been a bit roulette based, although on Sunday the 138pm from Brighton was empty and one drink post match allowed minimal queuing to get the train and was...

    [Football] How much did the Marseille cost you ? / Athens trip tips.

    Amsterdam was fairly reasonable, direct train was about €120 return, first class. Motel One was a standard price. Athens not too bad, Scoot flight really cheap, but slightly concerned it will end up in Singapore...

    [Travel] Airports and flying

    The Berlin ones do not generally go from the same gate! Easy enough to work out end of the airport. Gate announced 1 hour before the gates 100 plus. Less than an hour, then Wetherspoons end gates (North Terminal). Fast Track security in the North Terminal helps.

    [Misc] How can the NHS survive in its current form ?

    The dentist point was a real surprise in Berlin. Pretty much all included in the public insurance. For instance SBK covered the removal of 4 wisdom teeth, slight worry was the dentist in a former DDR building at Alexandraplatz seemed to enjoy her work a bit too much. If I had to have these...

    [News] German Strikes.

    The strike, plus the U2 being knackered around Alexandraplatz means I have a section of the office to myself today. Fantastic.
