I'm not paying her half of the holiday - I'll go with her, but I'm not taking her.

Dun get pocket money and don't go to college or get EMA either.

didnt work out that well then?

Agree with the others Jack, do something more sensible with the cash. You've already nabbed her so know need to go topper overboard. burny knows what's good.

Barca?

isnt it a bit played?
i was looking at lisbon and places like that.

lisbon is cool

try madrid, cologne, paris, budapest

Cologne is awesome actually, def go there.

Anyone know a site with NY gig listings, cant seem to find owt

Krakow is perfect for what you described. i've been too Cologne and can highly recommend that place, lots of bars plenty to do and i think it's a uni city too so plenty of talent around. Don't go to Brussels for a long weekend, great place to visit but it's not a booze, birds and sun place.

take a water taxi from outside the station round to somewhere near Piazza San Marco, it's a really good way of getting a different perspective on Venice, and there's a great view of the square

Piazza San Marco obviously - gets very busy, particularly this time of year, so the earlier you get here the better

buy some Murano glass

head to the beach at Lido if you have time

eat as far from Piazza San Marco as possible if you want to save money

buy yourself a map and just go for a wander away from the main tourist areas, there's a veritable rabbit warren of beautiful residential streets

don't get lost after dark (no homo), there are plenty of unlit streets that are difficult to get out of. particularly when drunk - speaking from experience here
