March 2010

The Open Championship tees-off on July 15 and, as you would expect, hotel rooms are already in high demand.

In fact, I have heard stories of weddings in the area being canceled and rooms rates rising to astonishing prices as hotels close in on being fully booked, months before the event even takes place.

With this year’s championship being held in St Andrews, and since there is a large group of my friends keen to go, I’ve been looking for houses to rent in Edinburgh for the week.

It seems a more affordable option than booking out a whole load of hotel rooms, and there is a surprisingly large amount of choice on the market.

As another frantic week of football ends, with matches on every night, we can only assume that the dominance of English teams within the Champions League is only set to continue.

Note Arsenal’s superlative display over an admittedly fairly dreadful Porto side. Scoring five goals in any game is impressive but especially so at this stage in the competition.

The following night the TV cameras headed north to take in the spectacle of Manchester United taking on AC Milan. The match played out like a Man U fan had written the script with four goals for his side, none for the visitors and an almost commemorative atmosphere for the final 20 minutes when United’s golden boy Becks turned our for The Italians.

Overall, a good week to be an Arsenal or a Man U fan, just don’t mention Liverpool.

It is my good friend’s wedding later this summer and to mark the occasion we’re going on a stag weekend to Berlin at the start of May.

It is sure to a good affair although whether I’ll remember it all I wouldn’t like to say.

To make the hassle of the airport just a bit easier, I’ve booked the services of a Gatwick meet & greet parking company. Using these boys makes the whole trip a more enjoyable experience and make the trip home far less time consuming.

The plans include a trip to the Olympic Stadium to watch Hertha Berlin take on Bayern Munich – this inparticular is something I’m very much looking forward too.
