We visited Roses, briefly, when we played there in February t'other year. Looked a nice spot to be honest.

I will be out early. Im going down to the beach on sunday to see a couple of friends.

I hope the weather is nice!

Forecast is hit and miss i think. BBC 5 day thing said friday rain but what do they know

If you turn up to the match in your wetsuit, I shall pretend not to know you.

You're safe from that prospect ....

i wasnt planning on the rain thing! Havent paid for luggage on the plane so 10kg hand luggage all we have, not a great deal if your packing for rain.My experience of summer in south of France is that it ought to be warm enough for shorts regardlesss of it raining.Ibis central will be full by the looks of the posts on here, hope theyve ordered enough beer in!

On the other hand, summer rain in that part of the world is nothing like the rain we get here ....

1 ) It will be warm rain for starters

2 ) A lot of showers tend to last for an hour, by which time the sun is out again and it is scorchio again. Compare that to here where it can settle in for three days during mid-Summer

3 ) We've had our one game in a thunder storm already this season

4 ) It will be swealtering in a rain jacket, so why not just go al-fresco and hope you'll dry off later ?

Weather.com says showers, 20% chance of rain on Friday, T-showers 60% chance of rain on Saturday. Will we get as wet as at Castleford???? Still warm though in the 70s.

I'm staying in Ibis Central - son and friend staying in the weird loge de mar (spelling??). I booked later than them and couldn't get in (might have been a good thing in long run)

Your son and friend will enjoy their stay in the Hotel de la Loge, think of a 1970's Habitat catalogue and then think what your house would look like if everything had been well used since you last decorated in 1974 - thats when the Loge was last refurbished and decorated, yes I'm not joking.

Its a shrine to 70's decor, I felt right at home there in an instant, some of the younger ones thought it was naff, I pointed out that the whole of the 70's was naff but we just didn't know it at the time.

I'll leave G1 to tell you all about the manager-who-never-sleeps

Me and the wife spent one night it that place, scared the hell out of me - it was like stepping into the Shining only the owner was far scarier than Jack Nicholson!!

Gareths best mate that is.

The scary bit was that no matter what time I tried to dial out he answered!!

I really believe he never slept or he was the Frenchies answer to Dolly the Sheep!!
