hk blues Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 (edited) 32 minutes ago, Salt n Vinegar said: Nope. Noe even a glimpse. .... so, on the important issue of the day, would you say I am on holiday "on Ireland" or "in Ireland"? The same could be asked of Britain. As I understand it the concept only really applies to small islands. Where I am there are literally thousands of Islands so we say on XYZ Island in the Philippines. By the way, I thought you were in Greece, not Ireland! Edited June 29 by hk blues 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine anyone saying "my auntie is on Australia". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never say my auntie is on Australia ( or even in Australia for that matter) as she's in Scotland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boghead ranter Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Enjoying some proper peaceful time round my holiday hotel pool, with my fellow Europeans, as all the tattooed zeppelins are away to get ready for an early dinner before the Engerlund game starts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh gawd I'd forgotten that the forces of darkness were playing tonight. Fast dinner then back to the balcony for a couple of beers, listening for the sounds of crushing disappointment and open rebellion from our southern neighbours. Damn. They're going to walk it tonight, aren't they? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We decided to have an early dinner at the hotel so we could then watch the Spain game. England going to extra time meant we didn’t have to put up with their fans; which was nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
