One of the Mods, think it was Welshace, bragged about having 10,000 count the other day and was put back down to about 9,500ish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Really unsure as to whether to go to Blackburn on Tuesday. There are some tickets left, but I'd have to go before half 12 tomorrow and get travel there as well. That's £15 on top of £20 for tickets. The only problem I have with it is, is that it's on NYD and I'll be at my nan and grandads for NYE and will have had a few drinks. I'll have to be up really early on NYD to get to the ground to be picked up by 8. As there are no buses running NYD. So it'll take me about an hour or so to walk and an hour or so to walk back.

Nottingham Forest Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yeah, plus it'll be my first away game as well. If I knew what time I'd get in, then I wouldn't mind. But I don't. I may not get to bed until 1/2 in the morning. I'd then have to be up at 7 ish. Plus, being on a coach for about 3 hours or so there, and god knows how long back, especially if I'm hanging, really doesn't sound appealing. I'll have to see how daft I feel tomorrow morning.

Unless you have a air conditioning though it is a real killer. especially when the humidity is about 80-100%. It's the only time i look forward to going to work as it is air conditioned.

Nottingham Forest Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 I've been to Australia . Actually have/had a visa to go and live over there. Well when I say I did. I mean my dad, but as I was still a child, I was on it. Not sure whether I could still go over now though. We've activated the visas so I suppose I could. The flight was too long over there . When we out round Melbourne on one of the first days. I looked up at the sun to sneeze and I was swaying . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzrab Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yeah the flights a killer. We usually have stopover for a day or two in Asia on the way there and back when we visit the UK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yeah the flights a killer. We usually have stopover for a day or two in Asia on the way there and back when we visit the UK. We went over 3 and a half years ago now. My dad drove from Nottingham to Manchester the night before and we stayed at the Hilton iirc. The cars was parked someone for about 9 days. We flew at 10 in the morning from Manchester airport to Abu Dhabi iirc. That took 8 hours and then we had a 3 hour stop off. We then flew from there to Melbourne. My dad had organised a car. But that turned out to be an automatic, so we tried to find the hotel and ending up driving for over 2 hours and ending up going too far out. We found a Maccy Ds and asked in there and they told us to go back. We found the place we stayed at and it was like a Premier Inn. There was a shooting the day before or after at the Maccy Ds that we went to as well. I suffered from jetlag massively, as did my brother. My brother more so. A few days in to the holiday, the Ashes in England was on at the time and I decided to stay up and watch it. My brother, suffering from jet lag had already been a sleep most of the day. So naturally, as you do, he'd already got up, had a shower, got dressed and was eating his breakfast at 2 in the morning. On my response of asking what he was doing. He replied, getting up. I told him to get back to sleep and he said no. I told him that I wanted to sleep as I'd only had 2 hours. He said, well that's enough. I have to say, I wasn't impressed.

fuzzrab Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Yeah i hate the jetlag. I am usually not too bad with it but the wife gets it terribly. As a result i then suffer as when she wakes up i have to get up to keep her company. Luckily it only usually last a few days for her. I remeber when i 1st flew out we flew in to Brisbane to meet her family. After about 2 days in Brisbane we then had to fly to Perth, a 6 hour flight, and then drive 3-4 hours to Albany for her cousins wedding. On my second day in Albany i was soo jetlagged i literally fell asleep/passed out in the pub at about 10am. I think i slept for 24hrs straight.

Nottingham Forest Posted December 30, 2012 Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hahaha, I suppose it's a good way to not have to talk to them . On our way back from Oz. We did the same route again. The flight from Abu Dhabi first time round was about 14/15 hours. On the way back though, we did it in about 10/11 hours. So our flight got brought forward iirc and were back at Manchester earlier than expected. At Abu Dhabi, as we were having something to eat. I told my dad I wasn't tired. He said give it another 10 hours and when we get back to England you will be. Didn't sleep on the plane back I don't think. But as soon as we go to England, and was on the way back to Nottingham, I was asleep and only woke for a toilet break. Got back home and had a KFC iirc. Ate that and decided to got on my PS3, turned it on at about 6 ish and fell asleep. Was awoken at half 8 to turn it off and go to bed. Didn't wake until half 10 the next morning.

Well New Year is the height of pointless. It is an extra reason for people to go out and get hammered, and more hammered than usual and act like tits. Then, the price of drinks tend to be put up, the cost of getting into clubs go up and taxi prices are a joke. The price of drinks is higher? Never, ever, experienced that myself. Also, my local taxi firm have kept their prices the same over the festive period for the last four years now. Tom only likes it because its another day drinking tbh. I certainly don't use New Years Eve as an excuse to drink. To me it's just another night in the pub, except a touch busier than usual. People just drink more and act like bigger arseholes than usual for no apparent reason. It is an utter stupid day. Gerneralisations for the win.

Nottingham Forest Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 I'm not going out out. Just going to go round to my nan and grandads. May play a few games of cards, few drinks and just chat with family. Unless of course, someone invites me somewhere. Most of the people I speak to are older than me. So have done the going out bit. Most now spend it with their families. I nearly went down to Portsmouth, or should have been. But my mum has been ill over Christmas and still is ill. So we haven't gone.
