Advantages: The best team in the world, good facilities Disadvantages: Expensive and busy
I have visited Old Trafford twice in 2 seasons now specifically for the United v City Derby. The ground has good transport links to Manchester via Tram, Bus, Car and "Football special" train. Initially I had some reservations about attending the ground for such a "hard fought" fixture, however the reception of fans and organisation was most excellent.
I would recommend catching one of 3 special football trains from Manchester Piccadilly (on match days) to get you to the ground in around 10 minutes.... these trains are two commuter style trains that are joined together - arrive totally empty and can generally find space, with some standing, for everyone who is waiting.
The train drops you off by the south Stand, which is not far from the away section, major entrances to stands and the club shop. Match days are very well policed ...

Advantages: Beautiful scenery and an unusual natural sight Disadvantages: Walking is necessary-although that isn't really a disadvantage at all!
The Old Man of Hoy is the tallest sea stack in Europe at 137m and an impressive natural site for those who are sick of all the archeological sites around the Orkney Isles. Originally a headland, the sea stack is created when the force of the sea washes swirls and causes pressure on the land between the stack and the mainland until it falls away leaving just its very edge as a stack. Early drawings show the stack with an arch extending from its base, which has since been swept away, from hence it gets its name since it looked like a bent old man.
The island of Hoy is the second largest of the Orkney archipelago, just off the Orkney mainland and is said to have got its name from the old norse meaning high island as it is the only island in the chain to have any high land with the highest point being Ward Hill at 479m.
Hoy can be reached ...
Advantages: Funny and great acting Disadvantages: None
The 40 year old virgin is one of those films that you watch knowing that it will be full of silly humour and mainly aimed at the young male viewer. I sat down to watch this not really knowing if I would really enjoy it that much as it's all been done before really hasn't it? However I was surprised to find myself really enjoying it and have no complaints about watching it again and again!
The plot -
Andy Stitzer is a 40 year old man who has an OK life. He has an Ok job with friends and has his own nice apartment but there is one thing missing in his life and that is that he's never had sex! Yes at the grand old age of 40 he has never 'done the deed'. When his friends find out about this they want to get him out there on the scene immediately. However Andy has started seeing somebody - Trish, who is a single mother to three children ...
