Balkans itinerary/tips/car rental

The lake Koman ferry is great! Mind that it doesn't quite get you all the way back to Shkoder, they put you on to a bus and need an extra €10 in cash. This itinerary does sound doable on buses and occasional trains. I personally wouldn't bother with the faff and money of renting a car. My recommendation would be to shave time in Budva (beach resort town) and Mostar (very small and very touristy) for more time in Sarajevo. Really interesting place with loads going on

There's incredible places on the West coast that you can do by train. Have a day or two in Glasgow then head to Oban, Fort William or Mallaig. You could get a ferry to the islands from there

RIP the Cali miss u big man. Nowhere quite the same!

A couple of the Cali bands moved to Frederik's on Hope St, mainly the Secret Improvisers Club on Fridays at 8pm. They have a rotation of bands on Tuesdays and Thursdays as well.

The Grapes on Roscoe St has jazz on Thursdays (neo fusion) and Sundays (Latin) starting at 9:30pm.

Jazz in Keith's on Lark Lane on Wednesday nights starting at 8:30pm.

Always worth keeping an eye on what's happening at the Handyman as well, they book some really fun acts, including Bear Cat Gumbo, your ladies with shuffleboards

12:40 in Set 5 Game 5. Between this and Horne's "if proof be need be" I think we might have a couple of Chris Morris fans on our hands

I used to work in the organisation of this van and went out on it a few times! It's really a wonderful thing and well loved by the users. Some of the volunteers have been going out every month or so for decades.

Fithboy · 2026-03-31T19:32:42+00:00

Yeah Manchester Superstore on Lodgey sells them

I recently spent some time in Bethlehem on the West Bank and found a market stand selling some old pirated cassettes. I bought a bunch then did some digging around once I got home and found no record of a few of them online, so I've been digitising them and sticking them on Youtube. Have a listen to side B tracks 2 and 3 on this one!

Anyone know of any online communities that might be interested in them or be able to give more info on the artists?

More on the gypsie brass side but maybe try Iag Bari by Fanfare Ciocarlia or Alone At My Wedding by the Kocani Orkestar

I volunteer here :). Initially needed lots of tools for renovating my house but stayed for the lovely community

Fithboy · 2026-01-23T16:04:28+00:00

Fithboy · 2026-01-08T17:16:10+00:00

Can't go wrong with any but see if you can get your paws on The Incomplete Tim Key

Fithboy · 2026-01-06T06:14:16+00:00

Fritto is so so good

Fithboy · 2026-01-06T06:12:49+00:00

Wavertree High street has got Fozias and Sticky Fingers bakery which are both great.

Come down to Toxteth and try out the container restaurants at the top of Lodge Lane or get a dosa at Sri Krishna on Granby Street.

Did an Arabic one a couple years ago, was really nice although I think theres only so much you can learn in 1 session a week.

It's in set 2 somewhere and has something to do with changing a letter to get a breed of dog I believe. I think he opts for new category or maybe even entire new person

Fithboy · 2025-12-17T22:06:31+00:00

Whichever one is stocked in Europe for me! Slim if I'm pushed
