Nah nothing to do with us or the Merseyside derby earlier.

I am in the most boring place I've ever been to and am tempted to pay €300 so I can fly home on Monday, 4 days early... Live and learn eh!


See if you can guess where I am and also, have you ever been bored to death on holiday?

Why is Malta boring? Not enough beer for you to get sozzled on?

Not been sozzled for along time jtv so not enough beer wouldn't be an issue to me, but the island is simply not big enough for me.

You like living there do you?

He quoted €300 as the cost, so it’s Europe

Barry already got it.

The only good thing here is using the Madeira cake joke I heard on here and the fact the lifts in the hotel are made by a company called Schindler...

Some of you people have odd tastes or haven't been to some of the places you're suggesting.

Brugges is great, especially during the World Cup. Lovely place although too many crap Belgian lagers.

Madeira is an incredible place. It’s anything but boring. Get out and see the island. The scenery is sensational

Never never never. A combination of books, puzzles, the odd game of football on TV, and the joy of putting my feet up doing nothing while not being at work - what's not to like? I could do that on a Norwegian desert island and not be bored.

I worked out I've visited 48 countries on my various holidays and the only 2 places I wouldn't go back unless somebody paid for me are Malta and Amsterdam. Just found Malta boring - though I did see a game at the National Stadium - and Amsterdam was 1 big sleazefest. No doubt other people love these places and that's fair enough, it's all subjective.

If you came to Malta to watch footy you came to the wrong place. As for boring, you are probably not much into history, scuba diving, snorkling, water sports................ I have friends who have visited several times and still find new places to explore and things to do.
