  1. Try getting a tee time in Sydney though. Most slots being put up at midnight 14 days ahead of time and full by 12.02
  2. Christ I have missed posting on pie and bovril
  3. Have just moved back from Aus and have enough Qantas points left for first class return flights for the wife and I to Dubai. Wanting to go for a couple of nights next Feb and stay in a nice 5 star hotel. Don't need to go out and see too much as long as there is a nice pool/beach, spa for the wife and some nice places to eat or drink nearby. was looking at staying in Dubai at maybe raffles, Versace, Anantara or Le Meridien. also wondering whether a club room is worth it? Can get a good deal on a club room at intercontinental festival city. however, someone has suggested you can get a nicer 5 star hotel for a much better price in Abu Dhabi than Dubai. Looking at maybe the rosewood? Does anyone have any experience of either place, and any recommendations for hotels in either place? thanks fanny

    You can double up the squad battle ones. For example, I did the UCL and French one together and the first owned and Liga NOS. You could maybe even add the silver to Liga NOS and tick off three with six games. Silver first owned french players got me 2 tokens from 6 games too

    Packed an untradeable Prime Henry on Saturday. Thats me now packed an untradeable vase Cruyff, and tradeable Mid Carlos and CR7 this year without buying any points. Unbelievable luck really.

    6 weeks in to the game and I have now packed 2 icons, base Cruyff untradeable and now a tradeable mid Carlos. I haven’t spent a single penny on packs!
  11. I dont think you can come all the way here and not got to Melbourne. I normally find that there is alot more going on in Melbourne for a tourist than any of the other cities. March 2021 should be the Grand Prix, the start of the AFL and some pretty good grade horse racing. You also have quite a large theatre district with well known shows touring. I would say your time in Cairns is too long. It is the Blackpool of Australia, and only really serves as an entrance to the reef. One good, but quite expensive, alternative way to see the reef is to go to Hamilton Island. Direct flights from all major cities, nice resort island with some good quality accommodation, and some excellent snorkelling round the island (last time I was there there were at least 20 loggerhead turtles in the bay) and diving a bit further out (about a 1 hr sail from the island). For the Hunter Valley tours, use this guy: https://gourmetgetawaytours.com.au/about/ The tour is excellent and well worth the money. He will pick you up from your Sydney hotel. Blue Mountains are nice, the Australians love them, but for people from Scotland they are a little underwhelming. For the bridge, walk over it and go up one of the Pylons, dont spend all the money to see what is essentially the same view from the climb. That money could be better spent. There are excellent helicopter flights over the harbour for the same (or less if you are a group) money. Or you could save your money and do a nice meal. Quay and Aria both have amazing views of the Bridge and Opera House for a special meal. If you were to cut down Cairns and cut out the Mountain day you would be able to do either Melbourne, or you could drive from Sydney to Brisbane. The stops up the cost from Sydney tBrisbane, such as Port Macquarie, Coffs Harbour, Byron etc are all really nice and all in it is only around 10/11 hours of driving time from city to city
  12. Hi All, can people help me with the settlement of this bet. I have it worked out that it should roll in to 2 x $5 singles, is that not correct. If so, why not?
  13. The interesting question here is who takes the seat. Ricciardo would be the obvious choice for me. However, have seen alot of chat that they might like to take giovinazzi

    Anyone had any problems with the National Pride SBCs I cant get the 11 players from League X or Y to accept on any of them
  16. I would get a second opinion on the chicken pox diagnosis. I am pretty sure that she has hand, foot and mouth. The blisters bursting like that is part of the natural course of the infection. Once the blisters dry out it isnt infectious anymore and she can go back to playing with other kids etc.
  17. McLaren in a sentence, referring to Norris: "The 19-year-old used the second softest tyres to pip Red Bull's Pierre Gasly by just 0.006secs before breaking down on track in Barcelona."
  18. ETA is valid for 90 days entry for all UK citizens. It lasts one year, so if you dont use all your days and come back within a year there is no need to reapply.
  19. Default would be a schooner normally, have to specifically ask for a pint. The schooner preference was explained to me as pints get to warm if you dont drink them fast. As for Tennents, the only place I know that has it on draft is O,Malleys in Kings Cross Sydney. $7 a pint, coupled with topless waitresses if you are in to that sort of thing.
  20. The Hunter Valley would be a much better stop over than Seal Rocks, for about the same driving time. More wineries than you could ever imagine, nice scenery and you can do a night in the blue mountains on the way home. if you dont plan to hire a car, the wife got me this for my birthday one year and it was genuinely outstanding value for money https://gourmetgetawaytours.com.au/about/
  21. Yeah, I live in Darlinghurst and the area has died a bit of a death. Oxford St is still busy, as apparently the politicians are a little scared to come down too hard on the gay bars due to the risk of perceived homophobia. The biggest change has been in Kings Cross, which is becoming more gentrified by the day. Dreamgirls and Pokey's are now shut, with a woolworths opening on the main strip. I second the Coogee to Bondi walk, but think people are giving Bondi a slightly hard time. It is geared at back packers and serves this purpose. I always recommend to our visitors to go up the westfield tower for a couple of cocktails. It is $20 per person minimum spend, however that is the same price as going to the viewing platform. Cocktails are about $15 each and are excellent, and the view from the city is amazing. The walk from the botanic gardens to Barangaroo allows you to take in the Opera House and the Bridge, and provides all the typical tourist photos you see. Lots of nice bars in Barangaroo now. Remember in Australia happy hour is still a thing. In Sydney you will be lucky to get a pint for <$10, but its quite common to get a pint for around $6 between 5-7pm You are also coming to Sydney in peak horse racing time. Saturday the 6th and 13th of April are the 2 biggest race days of the year at Royal Randwick, with a prize pool of around $10m each day. Let me know if this is something you are interested in and there is a small chance I could sort some members tickets.
  22. What happens for the Spanish 11pm kick offs, are they all classed as abandoned at half time?
  23. You were able to get it through oddschecker by adding it to your marathon betting slip through the oddschecker site, however i must admit I never tried to place a bet.
