You’ve got loads of options from Manchester. You could do the Peloponnese. The Greeks are slightly perplexed by the obsession with the islands. As they think the mainland is just as nice. The one thing I would say is do a bit of research. I’ve only been to Greece once post-Covid (Corfu). I would say it’s obvious a few of the smaller resorts are on the bones of their arse and haven’t recovered yet.
Crete is very beautiful and massive and varied. You can also holiday in the mountains there. Not just beach resorts. Heraklion isn’t the best advert for it. It’s a bit of a sprawling mess, in large part thanks to having had the fuck bombed out of it in WW2. Rethymno is much more attractive. Thing is with Crete is there are lots of ancient sites to visit if you get a bit bored with sitting around. The Minoan sites pre-date Ancient Greece. The other thing is the size makes it too big to see all of it unless you’re going for about a month or two. If you can be arsed it’s worth going to stay in an island without an airport. But then you have to factor in the extra time, as you’ll need to catch a ferry / hydrofoil too. Maybe too much if you’re only there for a week. But with that in mind, Symi (next to Rhodes) is an option. The best place I’ve stayed is Paxos. But again - no airport. Also the ionians have a longer, wetter winter. If you’re going September, further east / south is more likely to still be dry and hot. Another place I loved was Paleokastritsa (Corfu), & of course the Genocide.Fixed it for you

I think I'm going to end every sentence with "...& of course the Genocide" from now on. Love the way he drops it in there.
"My favourite teams? Newcastle, Mainz, Norrköping, Stenhousemuir & of course the Genocide."
"I'll have the lamb jalfrezi, pilau rice, garlic naan & of course the Genocide."

got to stay positive and try and enjoy the ride while it lasts. all of our lives are meaningless and no one will care about any of the things that keep us awake at night after we're gone.
(I wholeheartedly agree, I just enjoyed the juxtaposition)

Any data on your presence in any given country affecting Scotland results? 🤨"Me being alive" and "Scottish tournament failure" appear to correlate fairly closely, if that helps at all

Just booked a trip to Germany and realised I'm going to be there for the Euro 2024 final, so that's England's chances knackered, sorry to anyone who cares

Hard to tell the difference
That's because there isn't one

He was everything I expected, and that's fine by me.

They had a global pull after selling the pathé film reels to MGM for the documentary by William Chumley-Brewece called 'Simply Splendidly Sunderland football club from Roker Park.' Made them a fortune so they reckon.
Theme tune by George Formby, if I remember correctly. On a river where they currently build the boats... turned out nice again!

timed nicely to coincide with their annual mass delusion about not really wanting to be in the top flight anyway
If they were in the top flight, I'm sure they'd refuse our luxury tax contributions to their coffers anyway. Morally superior marra.
