I vote Brussels!

[codpiece]

Brussels is a great place. Shit load of cool bars and the beer is fucking excellent. Also my favorite chocolate shop is there. Could set up a tour of the Westvleteren brewery. It's the best beer in the world. Bruges is also close by. There is a big statue of Monty there as well for the Brits to look at. I think he was famous or something. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westvleteren_Brewery

Also, I could introduce you low brow beer drinkers to Lambic beer which tastes like sweat socks, but it grows on you. 

 

I also vote for Edinburgh, Rome, Budapest, and London.

[Ghostlupus]

Duesseldorf, great city. Love it. Cologne as well. Like the coffee shop idea in Amsterdam. Praque also great. Well, in my view it doesn't matter where we go as long we stick together and having an amazing time as the last time. We are idiots afet all, so it doesnt matter where 

[zigge_51]

Isle of Man??

 

 

 

[KillerKitty]

thx for the invite Duck

as far as now i dunno if ill be able to join this, but i would suggest MALMÖ (Sweden) from where u can easily go to Copenhagen, both beautiful towns with alot activities, bars, restaurants, history and for the relaxing fans check Christiania in Copenhagen

Malmö is not that expensive and flights from nearly everywhere go to Copenhagen airport, train station directly to Malmö city.

Or go to Mallorca or Ibiza if u want more summer beach feeling

Everything closer would be nice as well if i can manage to come this year. (Brüssel e.g.)

I'm not sure Jersey (nor the Isle of Man) qualify in terms of survivability for non-Brits who are used to having less rain than that in their summers. I've seen stuff filmed on the Isle of Man. It's a wonder the houses don't get infested by fish. Is Jersey the same sort of deal? And will it be affordable for the continentals?

Copenhagen is lovely but it isn't that cheap, alcohol really is just NOT cheap and the link to Sweden... Well, Malmö and Halmstad right below it are very nice and have some very excellent facilities for the upmarket dining enthousiast, but to be honest they are VERY expensive places to go for a boozer, and you have to realize you're so far up north that summer is defined as three weeks in July which means we're either going to be cold or it's going to be stuffed to the brim with Swedes on vacation.
I wouldn't mind going to Halmstad with the more well-off people, but last year in Berlin some of us were needing to keep an eye on their bank roll and Sweden, gorgeous as it is, is going to be easily twice if not four times the price for an evening out. I don't think we can do that with this group, it needs to remain affordable for all. It's not too good an idea to come home and say "well honey I had fun, but the money is gone so we're not going on any more vacations this year".

Budapest appears to suffer somewhat from the same problem on flights, not sure about staying there. It seems reasonable (not that I dug very deeply).

Prague seems fine, Czechs aren't known for being the nicest people on the planet though.
Brussels isn't going to be as cheap as Berlin but it shouldn't break the bank.
I still like Croatia as that too will be affordable, and it has been thumbed up by a few others in here too. That also offers the joys of being on the Med's coast. I can see some avenues for trips and boat rides to Italy for those of an adventurous nature.

Truro I think we can all agree is going to be where we test the XI nuclear tactical missile. Twice.

Have you tried Ryanair? Most of those destinations I have tried from Dublin are under 100 euro return

But then again Heathrow is one of the most expensive to fly out of so I do not know...
