I was bored shitless waiting all day to get back to the hotel in lido di jesalo although what sticks out was the miserable gondolier cunt whinging his tits off in Italian as I Geronimo'd into his gondola. I was almost 14. (I'd love to go back as an adult and have a proper look around though). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Alex says, its possible to get off the beaten trail and get reasonable drink and food in some of the quieter bits. Sipping wine with your loved one as sun goes down by a venetian canal is definitely worth doing (although I'm going back more than 10 years here). Thanks to the functionality of Google photos now, it's very easy to find old photos. This is the cunt I am referring to. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was back in the day of coach holidays. If you think the Costa Brava is a canny way by bus, fuck me, Italy is some journey 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think the Costa Brava is a canny way by bus, fuck me, Italy is some journey My one and only foreign holiday with my parents was SW France, near Biarritz. By coach. That was bad enough. I do remember a coach of Irish people arriving the second week we were there, fuck knows how long that took. But what I most vividly remember was their skin colour, not even white, I swear to God these paddies were universally varicose blue*, getting off the coach to scorching mid July South France UV, at a time when people weren't so aware of sun block. * Have Dulux patented this colour? They really should, along with Howmanheymana'veshitmeself brown. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely loved lido di jesolo, was my first ever 'proper' holiday and in truth only got there because of my grandparents who offered to take me and my sister. My only holidays other than that were annual trips Northern Ireland via the ferry, which to be fair, I loved but this was something else. It was in 1987. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My parents made me go fucking YOUTH HOSTELING in Scotland. You were supposed to be on holiday but slept in concentration camp style unisex dormitories and actually had "duties" (chores) to do every day like cleaning the fucking netty. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to regularly do Key Camp holidays in France. The feeling of sitting in a sweltering car with motion sickness while my father chain smoked in the front will never leave me. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't notice this sneaky edit but for the record, I would have been up alongside him showing how THE ENGLISH thrust. The front of that gondola would have been like an Olympic row boat, jerking forward about ten feet every time I put a power thrust in. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 38768 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Damn- Catch 22 is one of my favourites, and Little Miss Sunshine. Very talented actor, director, and author, very much in the mould of Steve Wraith. “Fuck a lot of women!” As Alex said, legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
