New York or Paris???

[Ben (lurk75)]

Right it is my girlfriends 21st in May and have decided to go away for a weekend, looked into the prices in this country and its cheaper to go abroad (plus i want to).

So the choices have been narrowed down to

:arrow: Paris

:arrow: New York

I have no bias towards the French or the Americans so this is not a factor but the threat of war could be.

The reason i want to go to Paris is the cost... Its cheaper.

The reason i like New York is i want a Tattoo done by a certain artist that works there.

So let me know what you think, first hand experience would be great.

[Tilly]

if i had the choice to go it would have to be new york cause its not often that u can get there.
If its a special occasion then thats the place.

Paris is fine to but u can drive there and its pooooo.
Only decent thing is Disney

[Tazzy]

NEITHER!

from a personal POV, i hate the french, and i hate the americans even more!

go to Amsterdam, alot nicer! :wink:

[?Marty?]

NYC. No question.

[mikeoxford]

america is a totally difrent culture, way of life, difrent atmosphere, dont no if u have been yourself?

i went to washington DC and given half the chance id go back........

[RobHardyUK]

NYC easily, again i hate french people. I don't mind americans myself, and i mean you just gota think fcuk it you only live once....! If you want cheap bag ya gf up and stick her in the hand luggage saves a fare :lol:

[Jim]

Neither, save your cash and spend it on your car :D

Joking aside, I'd have to say New York. The anticipation on the flight over there will make the weekend seem longer. Plus Everyone tells me New York is an amazing place and you'll never get the same sort of atmosphere anywhere else in the world.

Like Tilly said, France is down the road. Go on, treat her, imagine the blow job you'll get when you arrive at the hotel in New York ;)

Jim

[Stuart]

or on the plane if hes lucky ;) lol

and will everyone stop being so wussy about the "war" like its even fair to call it that. personally i dont care if they level the middle east, or jsut walk off without doing a thing. just make a decision. We arent about to die in WW3. rant over


go to new york, stuff will be cheaper in the stores too.

plus you get to go to the worlds biggest village

[wisewood]

I would say new york - but its a fookin long flight for a weekend mate...

Paris is alright, but i dont really find it anything too special really.
Rome would be a much better place to go in europe and still cheaper than new york....



If you can afford it go to new york mate... it would really be something she would never forget. Paris is only spitting distance away.

[?Marty?]

What's wrong with Butlins?

[Alex]

The g/f may like Paris as it is romantic, especially if you go on a boat trip down the river. but i would go N/Y much more to do and it is a bit more different compared to France

[?Marty?]

Take her on a helicopter flight over Manhattan and shopping for jewelry in Tiffany's. Sorted.

Then get your tattoo.

[Freak]

If you go to the right places Paris is incredibly romantic.
But new york is really really good too and a different culture again.
New york flights are peanuts at the mo- as are Eurostar first class tickets

Splash out on concorde for new york :D

Flip a coin if you cant decide.
Its a hard choice-

[locky]

NEW YORK, NEW YORK!
It's gota b done! but then again ive been to Paris and other parts of France! France is a gr8 place!
If u go to NYC, go 4 about 3 weeks iv been told as its so big, u aint got time 2 see it all! I work at an ice rink p/t and theres lotsa Americans/Canadians who say NYC is an AMAZING place! Funnily enuff, i was talkin 2 a player bout it in the bar on sat nite!
As for those of u who hate the French, i cant understand y, the people iv met are gr8! and some of the places there are gorgeous!

[Tazzy]

i still say amsterdam, the dutch are proper nice, and all that scully, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! :wink: or you could visit the land of Oz, full of beautiful woman, clean white squeeky beaches, the F*rd Falcon V8 (sorry, love that car!) and Neighbours! :lol:

[Ben (lurk75)]

just been round asia for 3 months cant aford oz, its only a weekend. Dropped a few subtle hints and have decided to include rome now as the name did crop up in the conversation.

[Tazzy]

lol, i still say amsterdam, youll love it there, my mate just come back from there, him and his missus had a great time, the french are pr!cks and the americans are bigger pr!cks!

[?Marty?]

yeah, whatever mate. People are individuals, it makes no difference what country you come from.

So don't be so small bloody minded.

[Tazzy]

sorry!

[Nova-Flair]

u gotta admit tho marty the french are in general a bunch of pricks. i personally dont mind the americans

[Ben (lurk75)]

Andy my mum lives on the belgian/dutch boreder i can go there whenever i want, so not really that different. Am looking at the prices now and venice is cheap.

[Benjoyce]

how about barcelona? or one of the scandanavian country's they are pretty wicked. copenhagen has great night life!

[Ben (lurk75)]

Yeah looks liek we are going to Scandinavia for 4-5 weeks later in the year, so no good at the moment, barcelona is dear for flights.

Not being difficult, just only a few places that havent been or want to go to for just 3 days.

Am looking into hotels in venice look expensive.

Just found a flight to NYC for ?250 from bristol.

[Benjoyce]

thats well cheap!! how about vienna? or prague, bith meant to be a good experiance

[wisewood]

DONT DO VENICE!!! Mate said it stinks!!! Literally... :o

[Benjoyce]

milan? cheap armani, versace, gucci etc etc!!

[Ben (lurk75)]

lol been to prauge twice love it but not the sort of place i want to take my misses as will probably get tapped on the back and said hello to by some very attractive women have met before.

No wonder the flights to Venice are cheap as the hotles are fooking expensive, will be cheaper to do NYC.

[Benjoyce]

only trouble is nyc ain't a cheap place. but got some wicked places to see. the gf will wanna go in loads of shops and spend your hard earned cash

[?Marty?]

Which wouldn't be a problem if it was wisewood, as he doesn't work too hard for his cash. :wink: :lol:

[Ben (lurk75)]

she can spend her own money if im paying for the flight/hotels. :o

[wisewood]

WHAT???

You thinking keeping an eye on you lot all day is easy? ;)

[Benjoyce]

another thing(are you over 21?) coz you can't drink in nyc unless you are.

[Ben (lurk75)]

humm Copenhagen ?249 for 3 nights in a 5 star hilton, could be good.

[Benjoyce]

you'll love it mate, wicked night life. find a site that shows you it, you'll be amazed at how good it is.

[wisewood]

what about Berlin?

[Benjoyce]

how about flyin to magaluf or ibiza somewhere like that? the clubbin will be back on by then

[Ben (lurk75)]

she is going to Aiya Napa in late may, and aint my scene really.

[Benjoyce]

dublin?

[locky]

Tenerife 4 a wekend? im goin there 4 14 nights!
As for barcelona Ben, i haerd flights are well cheap flying from Cardiff!
?50 or something silly, the lads in work was on about it!

[Benjoyce]

don't buzz or someone like that do cheap flights?

[Ben (lurk75)]

dublin, maybe.

Barcelona from cardiff seems well expensive on the web locky.

[Benjoyce]

1: how badly do you want your tat?

2: why not just ask the gf where she wants to go?

[Ben (lurk75)]

1: how badly do you want your tat?

2: why not just ask the gf where she wants to go?

The Tatto is no worry as will be going t US for a few months in a couple of years.

She dosent know its a suprise.

[Tazzy]

milan?

lol, if thats the case, you might as well come to sunny brumingham, because apparently, due to arcitecture in the city centre, we are twinned with Milan! (as well as the best stadium in the world, VILLA PARK, is also based on Milan arcitecture!)

[Ben (lurk75)]

my village is twinned with Kelbra in germany dosent mean im german.

No thanks, its bad enough driving past.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[Stuart]

what about the new place to fly to now, heathrow - swansea, classless and scummy, what more could you want.

oh there is a bit of a sea view, but its usually clouded by port talbot.

i intend to fly to heathrow at some point lol.

[Rick Draper]

If you fly BA and tell me you and your bitches full name there is a slight chance of a upgrade if the flight is full, if its half full i will just get her upgraded! o and if you get a upgrade it will cost you 200B&H for a seat and meal that would cost ?2k+. lmfmo Rick

[Ben (lurk75)]

lmao at Rick.

Cambridge i know swansea to well anyway, used to work there a bit. Best think is constitution hill boy is that steep!
