It'd be 3 or 4 miles. No big deal, but no point picking a hotel at one if the match is at the other. Both easily accessable from the city centre.Cockatrice wrote:BR- what are the distances between the 2 it don't matter to me as I ain't staying in Toulouse but trying to come at it from Spain and interested nonetheless.

Pick hotel near watering holes and travel to the stadium would be my first thoughtBR wrote: No big deal, but no point picking a hotel at one if the match is at the other. Both easily accessable from the city centre.

In 2000, we stumbled into one (not far from teh stadium), which would have made a Treviso bar look like an aircraft hanger. Great night was had by all . Of course drinking with the local kebab shop owner was always going to make for a fitting finale to the night.
Anyway, later in the weekend, we were warned to stay away from that area of the city as it was dangerous (maybe that was based on reports that a local kebab shop owner and his friends had been kidnapped by a bunch of drunken Irishmen
)My point is that Toulouse is a big city and there are diverse drinking emporia throughout it, so no matter where you end up kipping, you won't go far wrong. Locals all seemed friendly - kebab shops reopening, tramps supplying first aid dressings, motorists stopping to phone ambulances, ...

smaller than the bars in Treviso, 3 taxi's could move an entire bar full

If you remember correctly - 'Jimmy' had to get a taxi from the Ugly Man on his own. That made four!Rooster wrote:BR wrote:

By a lonely chip shop wall
I heard a young girl ca-lling.
Michael do you want this take-away?
For you won’t eat bloody Quorn,
You’d rather have your scrotum torn,
Now the chipshop staff are waiting with your tae.
Oh I could ate an Ulster fry.
Wi’ a pint of milk and a good strong cup o tea.
I’ve had a dozen chicken wings,
Two bags of chips
Some onion rings.
I’m not hungry, but I’d love an Ulster fry.
By a lonely café wall
I heard a young man ca-lling,
All things battered Mary, not fat-free.
With the red sauce and the brown,
You fry it up, I wolf it down.
Though it raises my cholesterol and bp.
By a lonely night-club wall,
He watched the last drunk fa-lling.
As the kebab van moved out against the sky.
For he’ll hope and dream and pray,
For a feed again next day.
He’s not hungry but he’d eat an Ulster fry.
