inexpensive flights out of London

[jawnbc]

Hey friends!

I'm thinking of extending my upcoming sojourn to Europe by about a week. So I'd like to find somewhere interesting, non-homophobic, and inexpensive to spend up to 6 days. 6 days in a region/country, not necessarily the city I fly into.

It would have to be out of London or out of a UK airport easily accessible from London via rail or transit. I've been pounding the online pavement, but to no avail. Any suggestions? I will have spent a week in Ireland (Dublin/Belfast) by then, so not the UK itself.

Suggestions on destinations? Airlines? Airports? Outfits? Go raibh mile maith agat!

Sigh, envy! One of these days, I'll get to Europe!

Will you be flying the flag, for uuuuussss???

I'm already going to Slovenia (my friend has threatened to introduce me to Sestre AND Nusa Durenda (he's a big wig at their public broadcaster) *squee*

Tallinn flights are too expensive. No cheap Zurich service yet (to visit zurcherart).

Just watched my official DVD of the semi-final: some shockingly bad vocals by some of my favourites. No wonder Hungary and Slovenia kicked ass in the semi.

Slovenia was going to be another suggestion of mine...it seems to be one of those on-the-verge-of-being-discovered-by-mainstream-America places.

How about Luxembourg/Trier?

OMG Becky! You get the chance to meet Sestre and Nusa Durenda??? I am like, so jealous!

Surely you're next stop is to the Ukraine to meet Verka?

I'm curious, which ones to you were "shockingly bad"? I personally thought Israel tanked vocally, and we didn't really notice how off parts of Bulgaria were until we watched it the second time around.

Israel tanked in pretty much every way possible. It was nothing but a nebbish fest.

Bulgaria didn't tank, but was a bit shrieky in the semi--but I noticed that during the webcast. She kicked it in the final though. Georgia was pushing it a bit, Malta was karaoke, Belgium ow. Even Edsilia was off in bits.

Who sang clean? Serbia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Estonia.

And O.My.Gawd.Cyprus. Evridiki humiliated herself.

Oh Denmark, very shrill places, which I didn't notice on the night.

Belgium was WAY off -- VERY painful. I'm wondering how they got douze points from Georgia o_O

Edsilia wasn't SO off -- I still say she sang fairly competently.

Finally, someone agrees with us on Estonia! That was Carl's favourite, and my Israeli friend Tzachi stared at us in disbelief. "... she was offkey throughtout the whole song!!" o_O

Yeah, Cyprus had some problems, alas ... :: sigh ::
