A mate of mine just sent me this:

Careful with your route planning!
Open to correction but there appears to be an error in Pineapple
Stu's SM summary thread. Distance from Milan is 216 miles (About
a 3.5 hour trip) not 119. If using the AA route planner
(http://www.aaireland.ie/routes/) be careful to select 'San
Marino, San Marino' as opposed to 'San marino, Italy'.

Yeah, I think I noted that there was probably an error? It gave Rimini to San Marino as 200 miles or so. I left it up there as I was a bit too lazy to work out which figures (if any) were correct or not...

Anybody who did not get new e-mail from ryanair after tax deducted had better ring them. I had 5 seperate bookings done on 1 credit card, they only taxed 2 of the bookings.They said "credit card declined other 3, probably due to too many transactions in short period of time":confused: When rang ryanair today, credit card was fine and sorted out other 3

Has anyone heard about the air traffic controllers strike in Italy? Picked up something on the news saying that flights into Rome and Bolgna are/have been affected. Is this going to be one of the most difficult games to get to?

Yes, Bomb. :(

I'm in the same boat, the extra tax is for all flights leaving the UK. You have 2 flights so you pay on the double (£5stg x 2) :mad:

It hasn't been taken off the card yet :confused:

Carlsberg dont do package deals.

[collie]

AnyBody who lookin for a return lift to game from Bologna.We have one seat on our Vengabus leavin bologna at 5.00pm.

[Moscow Mule]

How many buses are going from Bologna? I'm on Supa's executive wagon but it would be good to know of any others. I feel a convoy coming on.

[AidoM]

The GT BUS Company was contacted by the official in the Department of Foreign Affairs who is travelling to San Marino to draw people's attention to the information on the San Marino V Ireland on the Department's website. He asked us to draw particular attention of the need to carry a copy of your passport with you at all times, and that special buses are being laid on by the San Marino FA. The cost of a ticket is €8 return :eek:but the journey will not be able to compare with the craic to be had on the GT BUS(ES) :p :D

The Department's website is

[joe kehoe]

any idea what the weather is like over there. will i bring me long jons or me leopardskin tongg

[Moscow Mule]

It will be around the 6%-8% mark during the day but colder at night - especially in San Marino. I would suggest a fur lined tong if you insist on wearing one . Can you not find a green one?

As far as I know, there's still loads of spares. I have 4 spare anyway. Shouldn't be a problem. Just ask in the boozer.
