    Milan and Como are different class. It just kept delivering, something different each day. Missus and I love learning of the history of the places we visit and Milan has it in abundance. Como's views are just unreal. City and location that keeps on giving. Duomo Cathedral - the size of this historical building is ridiculous. And then the city-wide views from the rooftop are sensational. Aerial view if Lake Como after taking a cable car up one or the mountains. Again, the views of Northern Italy all the way to the Swiss border are just something else: San Siro - couldn't go to Milan and not visit here! Shame it's due to be knocked down, but to be honest there's all the history of it but not much else to say once you're within it. The museums are great. Plenty of memorabilia accumulated. Navigli - this is one of the canals running through this section of Milan and this small region. Lovely view up and down the canals. Can tell why its a popular spot for tourists. Overall, Milan is a beautiful city with so much to offer. A bit on the expensive side but not extortionate. The food is delicious. Freshness and authentic in equal measure. Only 2hrs from UK so typically easy to get to. Would seriously recommend! Above is just a selection of photos, too. Out of a few hundred taken, hard to narrow down!
  4. This is what is terrifying.
  5. The issue I have with the ruling is purely that putting a stop on abortion as a catch-all is wrong. Whether it's rape, poor decision-making, miscarriages or whatever reason, you're essentially taking the choice away from women. One woman might be raped or a victim of sexual assault wnd have to live with a child as a result of that. And now her prerogative to be able to not have that child any more is stripped away. It's a brutal ruling for women.
  6. The middle paragraph is essentially the whole argument which needs to be taken into account. Why does a women's right to what they choose to do with their body get taken away from them and decided by people who will NEVER experience or feel what they go through? For a country that claims to be progressive and free, this is some regression.
  7. Such a basic way of thinking. Unsurprisingly. 'Miscarriage = lifestyle driven' is far too generalist and stereotypical.

    Looks better than what I've had in some Indian restaurants!
  9. Great news to wake up to. Tory power being etched away bit by bit.

    5 nights. It was originally 4 but as the flight changed, we booked an extra night at the Holiday Inn near the airport for about £50.
  11. No wonder Pogba is getting shifted out! (amongst other things obviously).

    Easyjet. Pretty much always use them for short haul. Can't stand Ryanair. Be careful though, only found out recently that easyjet have started charging for normal hand luggage cases. The free hand luggage you can take on is only a small bag. If you pay for an 'up front' or extra legroom seat, you get the large hand luggage bag free. Our flight got changed a few times a few months ago as they rearranged flights to consolidate them, and it was delayed by an hour on the day. But we weren't too fussed - it happens.

    Haha I legit asked my missus which top I should be when I visit San Siro. She said she'll decide what looks best when we go If I had a preference in general, it'd be AC. Only just. Mainly because of the nostalgic 90s era looking back. Both clubs along with Juve, Fiorentina, Parma etc were iconic. So many quality players amongst their squads in that generation going into the 00s.

    I'd expect nothing less considering when those old tube lines were built and this one is done in modern day with much better research and technology available!
  17. Maybe because Camp Nou is synonymous as that name being used for Barca's stadium. For several decades. It's just a bit different from what it's always known as. Never even called it the Leicester City stadium so perhaps not the best example. It's been Filbert Street, Walkers Stadium or King Power Stadium.
  18. Do you reckon it comes to a point where the debt will ever be paid off? Or is it just digging deeper and deeper in towards the abyss?

    Yes @Tommy! Love that ooze of the garlic and herbs when you cut in to it. Perfect.
