We've just returned, and there was someone kicking off in the pool, they'd done 'something' and had managed to get their entire family banned from the pool for the rest of their stay. Couldn't work out what he'd done, but made me think- there must be some good tales. I bet there's been some right grot left behind in the villas too.
Geen jacuzzi's meer in Center Parcs na dreigement Jacuzzi https://www.nu.nl/economie/6153474/geen-jacuzzis-meer-in-center-parcs-na-dreigement-jacuzzi.html (via @NUnl)
I have just looked at the price of the activities. I may need to take out a second mortgage.
You robbing bastards!
So managed to get a week in Center Parcs for a half decent price thanks to them cancelling last year. But looking at it there are some rules that could ruin the trip for us, namely that when going for a week we only get 2 x 2 hour slots for swimming. Having gone before I know you can be in and out of the pools several times a day, every day for a week. That and you have to book them in advance. Anyone been recently and can comment on how it is at the moment? Is the swimming thing heavily enforced? This is for Elveden if that helps.
I was nostalgic about the Ted after the Braves moved, but its been years... why do the Interstate signs still say "Turner Field"? The Georgia Dome signs were changed almost immediately once Mercedes-Benz opened.
Is there something like Center Parcs in Portugal? Basically a place for a family holiday with embedded activities, and nature.
I'm visiting Center Parcs in Longleat next month and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for restaurants or meals.
I'll be mostly cooking, but it would be good to go out for food at least once.
The European left used to dominate many countries but in the last decade or so left-wing parties have struggled to stay relevant. For example, The left in France has collapsed and in the UK they're struggling to stay above water. There are exceptions in recent years in Germany, the Nordic countries, Spain, and Portugal. But those parties are exceptions barely hanging on to power. What changed?
