Benidorm....went on a cheap and cheerful girls hol....it was neither. Wouldn't go back for a gold clock..

hhmmm, probably Bulgaria, it was pretty dodgy and their hotel Star system is completely different to most places, you want to book a 5 star hotel to get somewhere that would be 3/4 star everywhere else. I felt very unsafe there

I think for me Brittany in France. Was a kid and in one of those Key Camp things. Just didn't find the French at all friendly to the English. Always put me off going back there. The French kids has this odd joke where they'd ask you "Do you spit English?"

[Kizzy]

I am anal when it comes to planning hols, I scour the tinterweb and trip advisor for reviews so I don't have any unpleasant shocks.
The worst was skegness butlins when the kids got a tummy bug from the food

Switzerland. It's just a pretty dead place.

Barstow, California. I was on a road trip accorss the country with my brother and his girlfriend...We were in the motel for the night, and some guy started having a domestic with his girl friend and then he KILLED her DOG. I told my brother he should go out there and do something (my brother is str8. i thought str8 guys were supposed to know how to deal with these types of situations), any ways, he refused to go outside and stop it, so he called the hotel desk, and they called the cops. anyways, it was really ****ing ghetto.

(and i learned that night that str8 guys are no more brave than gay guys)

Bulgaria too!

Went skiing in Borovets and not only was there a road going through the beginners' slope, there was a half-buried engine block sticking out of the piste that got covered every time it sprinkled with snow. How no one died while I was there is a mystery... Everything was rusty, half the chair lifts, pommers and t-bars were either not working or broke down while I was there. I could write a thousand words about the bar and the restaurant... but let's just say it was ***ing awful and if I ever go there again it will be because someone is paying me a massive amount of money.

lol I was on a Sun holiday in Bulgaria so a big thumbs down for Bulgaria in general then

Another thing that pissed me off was the way you had to pay to go into any public toilets there, even in bars and restaurants

Yes! We had an old women who used to sit outside the toilets on the piste and sell you a bit of bog roll! And also... bloody prostitutes with their 70s makeup and hairy upper lips propositioning my OH in the bar while I was there! The only reason I didn't lamp one of them was that I could imagine what the inside of a Bulgarian nick looked like. When I take over the country, I'm cutting off all diplomatic ties with Bulgaria.

Apparently the place is run by the Russian mafia, I wouldn't be causing any trouble over there lol. I remembering passing this hotel once where all the Russians stayed, you should have seen the place and the cars parked in there

I looked up some bulgarian jokes for us all to enjoy...

The wolf was always terrorizing the rabbit, looking for reasons to beat him up. While waiting for him on a forest path, he was thinking:
“If he’s wearing a hat, I’ll ask him why. If he isn’t, I’ll ask why not. In either case, I’ll beat him up.”
The rabbit came down the path with no hat. The wolf stopped him and said:
“Rabbit, why aren’t you wearing a hat!?” and beat him senseless.
The next day, the wolf was waiting for the rabbit again, thinking:
“When he comes, I’ll ask him for a cigarette. If he gives me a filtered one, I’ll tell him I wanted unfiltered, and vice versa. In either case, I’ll beat him up.”
The rabbit came down the path again, the wolf stopped him and said:
“Rabbit, do you have a cigarette?”
“Filtered or unfiltered?”
The wolf paused, then said:
“Rabbit, why aren’t you wearing a hat again?”

When I was like 13 I went to Canada and it was during my self-conscious period and my hair was dreadful and I didn't have a straightener, and I could tell everyone was judging me in French. Probably the worst time of my life.

Dawn in Moscow, 1953. The head of KGB Lavrenti Beria is walking to the Kremlin when he sees a very drunk deputy-chairman Molotov stumble out of a pub swearing at the top of his lungs:
“Death to the moustachioed tyrant, may he burn in hell!”
Beria immediately arrests him and brings him to Stalin.
“Comrade chairman, I caught deputy-chairman Molotov slandering your name in the street. He said ‘Death to the moustachioed tyrant!’”
Stalin glances up from his desk and says to Molotov:
“Who did you mean by that, comrade?”
Molotov squares his shoulders and replies, “Why, Hitler, of course!”
Stalin raises an eyebrow, lights a pipe and reclines in his chair. Then he turns to Beria:
“And you, comrade, who did *you* mean?”

1993. First joint military exercise between post-USSR Russia and the US, on board a Russian nuclear submarine. A Russian general bursts in, red-faced with fury, and says,
“Which one of you motherless idiots threw his greatcoat on the control panel?”
All sailors, American and Russian, fall silent.
“I ask again, you hell-spawned numbskulls, which one of you threw his greatcoat on the control panel!?”
An American sailor says feebly,
“General, in our country we don’t speak to our men like that…”
“Look, it’s gone, your country, all right?! I ask again: which of you threw his greatcoat on the control panel?”

well, to be fair, you can't blame Canada for you having horrible hair...

Oh I don't blame Canada, it was all New Brunswick. The other provinces had nothing to do with it.
