Good grief.

I recently stayed in the Ibis Mitte as per the thread Meenzer posted above. When I got there I quickly realised I'd actually stayed there when I last went to Berlin which was back in 2003 for the Loveparade It's not a shite hole but it's obviously not the Ritz either. Room size acceptable, clean, friendly staff, etc. Reasonably close to a well connected train station (Alexanderplatz) too. Decent value for what it was.

A few days ago I found a yoghurt in the fridge a couple of weeks past it's use by date. I opened it, checked it for mould, smelt it, etc. Seemed okay. Until about halfway through where it started to taste a bit funny. Anyway, I just put it back in the fridge. Wonder what it's doing now?

Cup Final is 5th May and the last game of the league is on the 13th May. Chelsea are also supposed to be playing Liverpool in the league on the 5th May so that one will need to be re-arranged as well.

Looked to me like "hard man" Parker ducked out the way of that one. Great strike though.

Surely if Chelsea finish above us then they will be 5th anyway so the Europa League place passes over to the team in 6th? Good point mate, I'm not sure. Could do with some clarification from the FA really. Bit a of a null point anyway, Chelsea will never win the Champions League and I was just being a bit pedantic. I am absolutely buzzing

Liverpool have already won the Carling Cup. Normally the FA Cup spot defaults to the runners up of the FA Cup but Spurs and Chelsea are candidates to get into Europe via the league already, so the FA Cup spot defaults to 6th in the league. The only exception to all of this is if Chelsea win the Champions League. In that scenario the Europa League spots will go to 4th and 5th place. Will never happen, but even if it did it shouldn't be much of a problem as I think we'll finish 5th anyway.

Fancied a little flutter. Gone for Ballabriggs and Junior, both E/W,

This.

Shake harder boy!

I must have rewound and re-watched that about 10 times on MOTD2. Still can't fathom how the fuck he did. Magic feet.

Heard this at the end of an episode of Californication. Gave me a musical induced boner.

Sorry for your loss.

He was excellent against Man Utd as well. Right before he was subbed for Arshavin who promptly came on and did fuck all.

Looked like it but they haven't really shown a decent enough camera angle to be sure.

I was only jokin. Best thing about Berlin is the nightlife. Don't faack abhaat in restaurants and shit. Go here: Watergate My other fave is Roter Lounge. http://www.clubvibes...b%C3%BChne.html Debating between that and Berghain to be honest. Edit: Could you recommend any other bars that are suitable for a quick drink? Ie, not a full on club like Tresor, Watergate, etc. Edit 2: I see you've just done that above anyway. Cheers!

Jan, I'll send you a message now. Cheers for that.

How does that work then? Basically you choose your meal in the foyer and once you've decided what you want you're lead into a pitch black room where you'll be seated. A lot of the waiters are blind and so if you need to move around you are in safe hands. Your meal is then brought out to you pre-cut up into manageable pieces. The point of it all is that with one of the major senses removed from the equation a lot more focus goes into taste. I first remember seeing the concept on an episode of CSI and thought it was quite interesting. The website for it is here: http://www.unsicht-b...ome_1_idea.html http://www.unsicht-b...experience.html It will either be a load of shit or an interesting story to tell. We're staying at an Ibis near to Alexanderplatz, so we're pretty much in the midst of it all. I would really like to check out Hitler's bunker. This website seems to suggst it's really difficult to find: http://www.gimmelwal...ope/bunker.html Am I going to need to be apart of a tour to see it? I can't seem to find any details on how to actually get to it.

I'm taking the mrs to Berlin next Saturday for her birthday - Going to be there for 3 days. I'm really looking forward to it. So far I've made a reservation at the unsicht-Bar, which is an 'eat in the dark' restaurant which could make for an interesting experience, and there are a couple of museums I'd like to see too, like the DDR museum for example. Can anyone recommend any other 'must do' activities whilst we're there? We'll also probably pay a visit to the Reichstag, the TV tower, and maybe Checkpoint Charlie if time permits. Regretting only booking 3 days come to think of it.

Thanks!

What does this mean?

How shit was the Dutch kid Boro brought on btw? Me mate sent me text saying how his dad had Colback playing for him at Wideopen Juniors back when . I send back some trite 'that'll be why he's shit then, poor kid born radiant ginger then hid life took a further horrific downturn as he found himself workin in Sunln' . . I'd literally just pressed send - TONK ! Was obviously hoping Main would come up with the goods after his pre-match stuff - he was at Sunlin before Darlo - interesting that he seems another ex-player that's non too fond of the place ? Shanked, to be honest.

Catchy.
