John<br><br>Sue came across the four nations rugby league tournament on the internet so we decided to head across to the west for a weekend of sport. The match we picked was England v's Australia at Wigan. It was about a 3 hour drive and we just got to the game at kick off. <br><br>The game was a bit disappointing from an atmosphere perspective because the Kangaroos carved the Poms up and led 26 nil at half time which resulted in ...

... it does seem a bit nasty now. So, moving right along... that pretty much sums up the Republic of Ireland and the Northern Ireland trips. After that little day trip finished, we had the night in Belfast and then caught the ferry over to Liverpool, where we met up with our mate Al. We spent a couple of weeks getting used to the place, during which Al took us to the Grand National which was tons of fun and then the job hunting began. I got extremely lucky and scored an interview from the ...

... them, especially John, after whom they named the Liverpool John Lennon airport. But there are also exhibits that explain how Liverpool was made rich by the slave trade, and lots of maritime info. I saw two facinating exhibits of the Merseybeat phenomenon which didn't actually concentrate on the Beatles. And Albert Dock... wonderful. But my favourite story has to be the one about the statue on top of one of the buildings which ...

... os enderecos e telefones de la para o caso de eu me perder, e desbloquear o meu cartao de creito, que por si so daria um capitulo inteiro de um livro. Alem do lado "organizacional" (essa palavra ou soa mau, ou eu acabei de inventa-la, o que nao mudaria o fato dela soar mau) eu teria que passar a maior parte do dia em "movimento". Como sempre, quando se quer economizar, as viajens sao uma verdadeira jornada. Uma caca em busca dos voos baratos. No meu caso eu ...

Well the dream is over...... Arrived in Manchester and got picked up by my brother and uncle. My uncle works on the docks so we went for a few beers in a pub on the dock road. Welcome back to Liverpool!!!! With in minutes there was a lad selling fake DVD's. I then knew I was really back home. But it was a great feeeling. I came home to surprise my mother for her 60th birthday. She thought I wasn't home for a couple of weeks. So that night I had to stay in my ...

... ride - whoops! In our last few days in London we continued being the touristy lil things that we are and went to Trafalgar Sqaure (is sitting on the lions allowed?), St Pauls Cathedral, Tower of London, Tower Brdige and the Royal Observatory at Greenwich. All of which were amazing and like everything in London full of history. On Sunday we went to our first football match of the trip at the Valley to see Charlton take on Middlesborough in the Premier League. As ...

... 8217;s not enough hours in a day.&#8221;<br>Whippin&#8217; Piccadilly by Gomez. </li></ul>For a long established European city I was astounded how much of the central district comprised modern shiny glass office buildings and shopping centres, only to later read that an IRA bomb in 1996 kind of made all that new architecture rather necessary. A simple reminder that terrorism was just as common in recent history before September 11, 2001 as after ...
