Destination Europe: Are You Ready?

[PaulHartman71]

Saturday 12th September 2009: Brussels, Belgium (Destination 6 of 40) :

Lower League's Rule: Sweet as! Not needing to fly for the absolute win! Those crafty producers, telling us we'd have to fly everywhere!

Whoopy D: I know mate! Who knew you couldn't get a flight from Belgium to Netherlands! I'm not complaining, can't wait to go on a European train!

PluckaDuck: Yeah I didn't think we'd be able to afford a 3 plane tickets, but a one way for 3 people is only like 300 smackers. Beautiful, just beautiful stuff!

Lower League's Rule: It's only 266 in British money Plucky boy.

# # #

joetheref: It is a bit cheeky though isn't it Brettney, that they tell us we have 39 flights or whatever, and then they suddenly let us take trains as well. Why couldn't we have taken trains whenever possible, and only flown the absolutely necessary ones.

Brettney: I don't know. It seems like a massive conspiriacy to me. It's Germany next isn't it, then the Scandinavian lot?

joetheref: Yeah, looking at the map it certainly seems that way. Not looking forward to the Denmark-Iceland and Iceland-Norway flights, I can imagine them being hugely expensive.

Brettney: yeah. Where does roberto go to though? I see him on the flights, then he just disappears. It's like he doesn't want to be here. It can't be very good TV.

# # #

Meanwhile in Paris, France (Destination 5 of 40)

rancer890: Kenco, Kenco wake up we're boarding!

Kenco: whaa-ruhuhafreemnecoffbaddd

spartans5: Poor guy, thought the coffee here was so bad that he couldn't drink it. I never realised without coffee he was a complete zombie.

# # #

Robert_296: Well it looks like I have completely destroyed everyone in BATracer.

PaulHartman:It also looks like you've put a load of people off joining by being so obsessively good.

Ridleys: Shut up guys, we need to get ready, our flight for Belgium is leaving soon.

Robert_296: Bet you can't wait for the chocolate!

Ridleys: I'm not fat!

# # #

super_lampard: Come on Jack! You've been in there for ages! What are you doing in there?!?!

jack.browne: It's not what you think! I just went for a poo and have never seen anything like it. Now the beast wont flush! I have tried 30 times and it wont move. I've posted a thread on OTF, maybe they can help!

tomsmith1989: Just leave it mate, we need to move, or we'll miss the flight!

[Lower Leagues Rule]

Damn, now every single team has the money to join us in the Netherlands, we are in the Crapper, oh no thats Jack.

[JB]

I'm not helping myself in this am I?! Tbf, it was massive.

[Robert_296]

Keep the fat jokes coming Paul

[Kenco]

Do they have coffee in Belgium? I've never been, I figured they just have chocolate and sprouts.

[PluckaDuck]

Gosh, I'm sooo dumb!!

Wouldn't guess that in real life I'm a budding Medical student from these howlers would you?

Oh well, still up the front of the pack, have a stack of money and into the land of Germany next week (I hope!)

[PaulHartman71]

Sunday 13th September 2009: Amsterdam, Netherlands (Destination 7 of 40) :

Lower League's Rule: Back at an airport, how bloody depressing.

Whoopy D: I know mate, it totally blows. Although at least we're progressing still, Germany next up.

PluckaDuck: This week hasn't been very sweet has it, we've been traveling all over the place. I don't know whether I am coming or going.

Lower League's Rule: No change there then mate!

# # #

Brettney: It's nice to see us still ahead Joe, 400 pounds more than the Aussies.

joetheref: It's certainly good news for us, and the progress we have made this week is really good.

Brettney: where's Roberto?

joetheref:I have absolutely no idea.

# # #

Meanwhile in Brussels, Belgium (Destination 6 of 40)

rancer890: Kenco still asleep?

spartans5: yeah, he's got no chance of waking up. It was a really clever plan though wasn't it, telling him that outside of the UK and America there were no Starbucks'.

rancer890: Yep. I checked and there are definitely Starbucks' in Belgium, France and the Netherlands.

# # #

Robert_296: I'm so glad we're leaving Belgium and going to the Netherlands.

PaulHartman: erm, why?

Ridleys: Didn't you know Paul, Robert has a fetish for windmills!

PaulHartman: erm, why?

Robert_296: Well, erm, I'm not sure, but they really get me going!

# # #

jackbrowne: WOW look at her, I love long tops and leggings!

superlampard: You love anything clothes as long as their on top of an attractive woman.

tomsmith: I've heard a lot of interesting things about Amsterdam. Do you reckon me and you could actually pull Lamps'?

jackbrowne: You two, actually getting any action! Don't make me laugh.

Late entries romping away

[Robert_296]

What's this about a windmill fetish?!?!

[Lower Leagues Rule]

I don't know about "romping" We are still right behind you, all it takes is you guys having a bad wekk and we will pass you

[rancer890]

Tut tut Paul, there's Starbucks in Canada as well.

With those Aussies and New Zealanders low on funds, maybe we'll catch up to them, since we already got enough funds to travel to Amsterdam.

[Lower Leagues Rule]

Rancer you are in Amsterdam...? You want to go to Germany...

[canvey!!]

Watch him go wild:

[rancer890]

Rancer you are in Amsterdam...? You want to go to Germany...

We're in Brussels. We want to go to Amsterdam...although I wouldn't mind skipping the flight to Holland and going directly to Germany... :p

[PaulHartman71]

rancer hasn't got a clue has he?!?!

[rancer890]

:o

Kenco, would you mind buying an extra cup of coffee?!?! In Amsterdam?!?! :p

[PluckaDuck]

Just enough money to get to Germany!!

KUTAW Paul!!!

[PaulHartman71]

Monday 14th September 2009: Berlin, Germany (Destination 8 of 40) :

Whoopy D: Oi, Plucka, what are you doing in the bathroom?

Lower League's Rule: I think he's posing for pictures he wants to put on one of his social networking site pages.

PluckaDuck: Oh, hi guys. I got a bit upset you know, since the Late Entries have over taken us...

Whoopy D: haha, look at that picture Pluckyboy! You bloody poofter!

# # #

Brettney: This is brilliant news Joe, we're ahead, we're finally bloody ahead!

joetheref: All the hard work has finally payed off! The Aussies are off our backs, they're finally off our backs!

Brettney: Have you seen that picture of PluckaDuck, it's all over the Destination Europe fan clubs on Facebook.

# # #

Meanwhile in Amsterdam, Netherlands (Destination 7 of 40)

spartans5: Look, Rancer mate. We need to give him some coffee, there's no way we'll get through security with him asleep.

rancer890: If you make a trip to starbucks and get some coffee then I can, oh for god sake, there's cops coming over.

spartans5: oh god, I hope they don't think he's dead.

# # #

PaulHartman: Where's Rob?

Ridleys: In the souvenir shop, looking at the windmills.

PaulHartman: Why is he so obsessed with windmills, of all the things for someone to have a fetish for!

Ridleys: He is a bit weird though Paul. I mean, what does he do outside of BATracer? He calls me fat, but I think it's because he's conscious about his own weight.

PaulHartman: Oh okay mate. Can I have some of that chocolate in your pocket?

# # #

jackbrowne: I can't believe it, how did you two clowns pull but I didn't?

super_lampard: It seems that Destination Europe has a lot of fans here in the Netherlands, the Dutch ladies really like me and Tom!

tomsmith1989: They certainly do! I'm almost happy we're staing here for another week!

I want to know how you've come to the conclusion that I have a windmill fetish

[joetheref]

Another good week for the late entries, pick it up Roberto

[brettney1980]

Its really looking good for us now. If it wasnt for North American Coffee's excellent week we'd be in with a shout of putting a destination gap between us.

[PluckaDuck]

Disastrous week for Oceania, It doesn't look like we will get to go to Denmark

After a really good start to the season, we have to spend another week in Germany while those Late Entries get to move ahead

[rancer890]

All 3 of us won. Great week North American Coffee. The caffeine is finally working for Kenco!

Next stop, Copenhagen.

[super_lampard]

Pretty good week for us, shame Tom's Chelsea couldn't beat west ham at home to make it 100%

[Robert_296]

Lost to Racing :/

[PaulHartman71]

Awful stuff Robert, awful stuff James.

[spartans5]

Great week for us North Americans, lets keep it up

[Kenco]

Awesome stuff guys, just awesome!

[tomsmith1989]

A decent week for us dark horses. As got mention, a win against West Ham would've really helped us, but at least we all managed to get some cash to put towards flights. Good week for CSEFMO.

[Lower Leagues Rule]

Hmmm a very bad week for the Oceanic's we got left behind as two of us fought out a grand 3-3 draw and the other couldn't even manage a victory against the Money-hungry Man City giving those damned North Americans a win, I can hear the taunts from Toronto already.

[PaulHartman71]

Hello everyone. I apologize for not publishing the weekend-ly update, I'm currently in Colchester so I don't have access to my word document which has all of the flight prices in it. I'm off home tomorrow morning though so the update will be published tomorrow night.

[Lower Leagues Rule]

Wooohooo I am looking forward to it Paul, and hope you have had a good trip.

[PaulHartman71]

It's been quite good. I drove up here on Saturday from Southend around lunch time, woke up early deliberately to avoid rush hour, about half way there I realized I had forgotten all of the presents. I thought that I could drive back in about half hour and still get there at a reasonable time. However it seems that rush hour + roadworkds + a major accident + Southend vs Colchester in Southend = 7 or 8 miles worth of tailbacks! It was an absolute nightmare, took me about 3 hours just to get back home!

[canvey!!]

That'll teach you not to forget the presents in future .

[PluckaDuck]

That's a shocker Paul

[Liverbird93]

even though I'm not in this sign up just wanted to say it's a great idea and a very good read. KUTGW.

[PaulHartman71]

Saturday 19th September 2009: Copenhagen, Denmark (Destination 9 of 40) :

Brettney: What a joke, I knew this would happen. Just as we started to take a lead over everyone, it's the bloody Iceland flight. The big one, the one we can't afford.

joetheref: 1,646, that's like double what we have. We'll have to have a really good week to even afford it next week.

Brettney: I blame roberto.

# # #

Meanwhile in Berlin, Germany (Destination 8 of 40)

Lower League's Rule: This aint great mates, not only are we now behind the Late Entries I think the bloody Yanks have gone ahead of us as well.

PluckaDuck: Losing to the late entries is one thing, but the Yanks! The Yanks!

Whoopy D: You can talk Plucky boy, Arsenal have been awful. Have they actually won a game?

PluckaDuck: Shh, I'm taking pictures for my new Facebook page!

# # #

Kenco: Zzzzzzzz.

rancer890: Look spartans mate, we really need to give him coffee. It's hard enough keeping awake during security checks and walks to the plane, everyone is getting suspicous.

spartans5: I don't know what we can do with him, oh god look at him, he's falling off the seat onto the floor.

rancer890: oh my, those German coppers don't look happy Spartans!

# # #

PaulHartman71: Another week in Germany, could things get any worse?

Robert_296: Well, I have you as a partner in the new BATracer game.

Ridleys: That's a good point mate.

PaulHartman71: Lose some weight!

Ridleys: Oi, I'm not fat!

# # #

Meanwhile in Brussels, Belgium (Destination 7 of 40)...

super_lampard: This is fantastic, we're going to catch up again this gameweek!

jack.browne: Do you know what else is fantastic? The producers of the show haven't found any incriminating posts to embarrass me with this week!

tomsmith1989: What about the girl putting her fingers in your mouth, and you not liking it?

jack.browne: That's the best they could come up with? Their research team must be on minimum wage or something!

[Lower Leagues Rule]

Damn Oceania have dropped back to the pack after a appalling week by all of us. Can't believe we let them all catch up.

PS. I have just joined BATracer, decided to see what it was all about, driving as Jono Newton in the GP 2009 series if anyone is looking to join a team

[Robert_296]

You can play. You'd need to find a partner. I know Spartans has played in the past. Could have an Oceania-American team

Oh and I better put something on topic. We've gone last

[PluckaDuck]

For the record Paul, I don't even have Facebook

We should surely get through next week, hopefully post a massive score and be well on our way to Iceland!

[Kenco]

Hot on the heels of the Late Entries, even though I've been asleep for weeks!

[brettney1980]

Ouch the flight to Iceland is expensive ... Just got to hope for a few good weeks and build those funds up.
