European vacation
 
If given the choice, would you choose to visit Italy or Greece?

my vote for "UK" was shot down with "too pubby" (the boy is going this time).


inb4 the Griswolds and pictures of cheese.

Italy!!!
The food is better.

floatingslowly 03.09.2010 12:51 PM

yes, but Greece produced Nefeli. that has to count for something!

I'm leaning towards Italy too. I want to jump inside Vesuvius.

ps: I have not forgotten you <---------

pbradley 03.09.2010 12:58 PM

I prefer Greek food but Italy has larger ruins.

But everyone goes to fucking Italy and Greece is in financial turmoil.

I would go to Greece, personally, but Italy is probably the safer bet.

floatingslowly 03.09.2010 01:03 PM

from my text messages:

"dunno Italy maybe. Greece is in turmoil right now. but I'm not flying all that way and not saying hi to friends. I know it's not important to you, but it is to me.
yeah I'd go back to Barcelona."

If you want a trip full of excitement, go to Liechtenstein.

davenotdead 03.09.2010 01:05 PM

I'd rather have a cozy evening inside, with the shades drawn, lights low, electric wizard playing painfully loud and demonrail666 explaining that he "usually plays it louder, but the neighboUrs might complain".

that would worth the entire trip.

EVOLghost 03.09.2010 01:16 PM

pffff go to Africa....go on a safari. now that shit sounds awesome.

demonrail666 03.09.2010 01:18 PM

The Greek Islands can get really touristy in the summer, as well as unbearably hot. I personally prefer Greece but think Italy probably has more options (and shade). Although if you can avoid the lager-lout tourists and handle the heat, Greece really is amazing.

EVOLghost 03.09.2010 01:19 PM

oh wait...european vacation

tesla69 03.09.2010 01:24 PM

don't fly, it supports the transnationalists

But I'd go to Greece - better beaches and food

haha. you're always welcome.

edit: rumours of a new Wizard album later this year.

Greece is cool, people are relaxed and the sun always puts you into good mood.
When you want to experience grumpy, visit Bratislava. I'll teach you local swear words and throw you into water fountain.

greece is on the verge of economic collapse (think: iceland) and might be easy on your wallet. unless daddy warbucks is footing the bill in which case go to the most expensive destination.

if you're going on summer iceland might be nice and dirt-cheap. oh they used to own the world and now they are everyone's minion thanks to our mortgage crisis. they produced bjork, who has nipples like large grains of rice.

the UK? why? everyone from there wants to flee. that can't be a good thing. i know: you fear foreign languages.

me, i'd kill for italy & france.

get your rosetta stone & start practicing, ugly american.

demonrail666 03.09.2010 01:35 PM

if you do choose Greece, watch out for these fuckers:

 

floatingslowly 03.09.2010 01:35 PM

I do not fear foreign languages!

there just happens to be a handful of people in the UK that I would like nothing more in this world than to meet.

girlgub on the other hand... "eyed liek dose poy-yo' ka-bawb, please".

playeru 03.09.2010 01:58 PM

Come to Romania; everybody speaks English here, we have written subtitles for movies, hot women, and cheap prices. :)

Seriously though, why waste time over a choice between pasta and sunstroke when utopia is even closer


 


 


 


 

wellcharge 03.09.2010 02:34 PM

greece is infinitely cooler than italy.

greece has not gotten cheaper because of economies or anything else, the prices are the same as always,but maybe lower than italy.

it's one of the best smelling countries

girlgun 03.09.2010 02:41 PM

although it'd be super fun.

floatingslowly 03.09.2010 02:41 PM

right. gg and the kid will be going to Italy and Greece. I will be going to Games Workshop and the circle of stones where Electric Wizard sacrifices their virgins.

no?

Glice 03.09.2010 05:09 PM

Easyjet is cheap-as-fuck airlines around the Europe. Might be a bit stressful with little people though (I have no idea how tall your husband is, I imagine him being somewhat in the region of dwarf-like).

With due deference to any Italians reading, Italians are useless pricks who can't serve a beer within HALF A FUCKING HOUR and they look fucking awful. I realise I'm from the land that dentistry forgot, so I can't complain too much. All I'm saying is the Greeks are cool as fuck.

Also: The UK is more than just London, and mostly better. Except for Manchester.

girlgun 03.09.2010 05:21 PM

advise me, glice. why are fucking trains so expensive?

yes. i'm well aware there's more to the UK than london, but if i went somewhere else in the UK it would be... manchester.

greece is going to be far less expensive than UK, right?

Pookie 03.09.2010 05:22 PM

Don't get Glice started on trains. We'll be here all night.
