May 7th, 2008 at 11:18 pm 2008年5月7日在下午11时18分 · No Comments 没有评论

It has taken me a while however I’ve now finally got time to update my blog.它采取了我一个,而不过,我现在已终于时间来更新我的博客。 It has been a busy last few weeks for me, not least because one of my weeks was spent in Las Vegas to see the Joe Calzaghe fight.它一直忙碌在过去几个星期对我来说,并非最不重要的,因为我的一个星期,花了在拉斯维加斯看到乔calzaghe扑灭。

Myself, Jason, Mark and Lydia went over there for five days to experience a place that is genuinely extra-ordinary.我自己,贾森,马克和邓莲前往有5天,经验的地方,这是真正的课外普通。 It was quite an eye-opener; from the exquisite but massive hotel buildings, to the incredible energy from walking around at 5am in the morning - the place is something else.这是一项相当大开眼界,开放的;从精致的,但大规模的酒店大厦,以令人难以置信的能源从走动在5am是在早上-地点是另一回事。

The boxing itself was the highlight, with our boy coming up trumps against Hopkins, who famously said that he’d “never get beaten by a white boy” - oh dear oh dear.拳击本身是突出,与我们的男童来胜过对霍普金斯,谁著名的说,他要“永远殴打一名白人男孩” -哦亲爱的哦亲爱的。 The after show party too contained a lot of fun and frolics, most of which are pictured over here , with celebs such as Tom Jones, Whitney Houston, Arnie, Rocky, Beyonce, Amir Khan, Brandy, Sam Davis, and Catherine Zeta Jones turning out.后表明,党也包含了很多乐趣和frolics ,其中大部分是图在这里 ,与明星,如汤姆琼斯,惠特尼休斯顿, arnie ,岩石,碧昂丝,阿米尔汗,白兰地,山姆戴维斯,凯瑟琳泽塔琼斯转折外面的。 What a Saturday night - just a shame it is now nothing but a blurry drunken hazy memory…什么是周六夜-只是一个耻辱,这是现在只不过是一个模糊的醉烟霞记忆…

As well as entertaining, I found the trip pretty helpful, as I realised a few things about myself.以及娱乐,我发现此行相当有帮助,因为我意识到几件事我自己。 Firstly, I’ve realised that I hate themed loos.首先,我已经意识到我恨为主题的卢斯。 You know, like the ones you get in O’Neill’s that say”Mna” and “Fir” - which one is bloody which?你也知道,像你获得在奥尼尔的表示,说“ mna ”和“飞行情报区” -哪一个是血腥,其中? Exactly, I walk into the “Mna” one too… But in Vegas there were a numerous themed places which had loos which required some brain-power when it came to picking the door to go in. I hate that shit.正好,我走进“ mna ”一过… …但在拉斯维加斯有一无数主题的地方,已卢斯这需要一些脑的权力,当它来采摘的大门,去英寸,我恨这shit外围。 In the Jungle cafe is was “Tigers” and “Rhinos” - in the Aussie bars it was “Bruces” and “Sheilas”, and then another place “Winkles” and “Winkle-pickers” - what the hell?在丛林中咖啡馆是被“老虎”和“犀牛” -在澳元酒吧是“布鲁斯”和“ s heilas” ,然后在另一个地方“ w inkles”和“温克勒-采摘” -什么地狱?

Still, these brain-games took my mind off the constant frigging static shocks I was getting everywhere I set foot in Vegas.尽管如此,这些脑游戏了我心目中小康不断frigging静态冲击,我买的我到处都踏上了在拉斯维加斯。 I swear I must have been hit by a thunderbolt at some point during the week because every person or piece of metal I touched seemed to send 10,000 volts of pure pain up my arms.我发誓,我必须有受到霹雳在一些点的一周期间,因为每个人或一块金属i感动似乎发送1.0万伏特的纯痛了我的武器。 Playing the fruities was pretty much a no-no because of this… so maybe it was a blessing in disguise.打fruities是非常不没有因为这个…也许这是一个变相的祝福。 Thankfully it was not only me that had it… I’ll never forget the look of the casino dealer when Jason handed him his dice back as it came off the table.幸好这不仅是我说了它… …我永远不会忘记的面貌赌场,交易时,贾森交给他骰子回,因为它来到小康之列。 Jason duly picked it up and passed it over, only to spark out the croupier with his static.贾森适当回升起来,通过它,不仅引发了croupier与他的静态。 The poor guy looked at his hands in wonder, and simultaneously gave Jason a puzzled look, one akin to having just been shocked by a walking electricity pylon.穷人的家伙看他的手在不知,并同时给杰森一疑惑,你看,一个类似刚刚被震惊步行电力塔。

Toilets and static aside, there were a few other observations which I couldn’t help but make.厕所和静态之外,有一些其他的意见我不能帮助,但令。 One of them included the tipping debacle - ludicrous, you’ve served me a drink with a moody face… and you WANT a tip for it?!其中一人,包括小费的崩溃-可笑的,您已送达我酒后与穆迪面对… …和你想的秘诀呢? ! Also, smoking in enclosed places - how weird - it wasn’t enforced there, so it felt mad to walk around seeing people chug fags inside hotels.此外,吸烟在封闭的地方-如何怪异的-这是不执行,因此它认为,疯牛病走动看到人民ch ugfa gs内的酒店。

Anyway though, great trip, a little jetlag - but a definite place to see without a doubt!无论如何,虽然,伟大的行程,有点时差-但一个明确的地方,看到没有疑问!

Toko stinking of crap 商店臭的crap

April 8th, 2008 at 3:18 pm 2008年4月8日在下午3时18分 · No Comments 没有评论

If you are not from Bournemouth and you are thinking of having a stag weekend in town, by all means come down, but whatever you do, do not set foot in the shithole that is called “Toko”.如果您不是从伯恩茅斯和你的思想有一个雄鹿周末在城市,通过一切手段来,但无论你怎么做,千万不要涉足,在shithole即是所谓的“商店” 。 This place is an absolute pit.这个地方是一个绝对的深潭。 I have never had a good night there, the drinks prices are ridiculous, chances of getting served are slim to Ethiopian, and to top it off the place really smells so badly that it makes my downstairs toilet seem like paradise.我有从未有过一个美好的夜晚,饮料的价格是荒谬的,机会获得服务的可能性很小,埃塞俄比亚,和顶部过的地方,真的味道这么差,这使得我在楼下的厕所好像天堂。

For some reason last Friday (I must have been pissed), I walked into Toko at 3am and as soon as I went in there was this disgusting aroma of man puke and sweat.出于某种原因上周五(我必须已pissed ) ,我走进商店,在凌晨3点,并尽快在我到有这个讨厌的香气男子puke和汗水。 It started off as a relatively “high class” venue back in the day, but now unfortunately it has gone down the cess-pit route.它开始作为一个相对的“高阶层”的场地,早在天,但现在很可惜它经历了下来,弗塞斯坑路线。 I just sent this letter to them….我刚才发出此信给他们… … 。

“I went out last Friday night and walked in to Toko, only to have to walk out 20 seconds later, due to the unbelievably disgusting smell of sweat, puke, and disinfectant. “我走出去上周五晚走在向商店,只有已走出20秒后,由于要令人难以置信的讨厌的气味汗水, puke ,及消毒。

Is there any way this can be dealt with. 有没有什么办法可以处理。 I’d have been willing to have bought a number of drinks and spend more nights there if this evil smell wasn’t there. 我要一直愿意买了一些饮料和多花夜,如果有这种邪恶的味道是不存在。 It makes me want them to bring back smoking in enclosed spaces. 它使我不想让他们带回吸烟在封闭空间。

It also makes me slightly concerned that a lot of your trogolodite customers don’t have a sense of smell. 它也使我稍微关注了很多您的trogolodite客户不有嗅觉。

Surely opening the doors in the daytime, doing a deep carpet clean, and a good old polish elsewhere would really help to make this venue more approachable. 当然,打开大门,在白天,做了深刻的地毯清洁,和一个良好的旧波兰其他地方真的会有助于使这个场地更平易近人。

There is definitely life in the old dog yet… I just wish it didn’t smell like one. 有一定生活在旧的狗,但… …我只想它没有气味像一。

I’ll let you know if I get a response…我将让您知道如果我得到回应…

臭狗

April 2nd, 2008 at 9:55 pm 2008年4月2日在下午9点55分 · No Comments 没有评论

I’m usually in the car listening to one of my eclectic albums, as I do, and today I thought I’d slap the album “Attack Decay Sustain Release” from my friends and musical geniuses Golden Section.我通常在汽车上听我的一个折衷的相册,正如我做的,今天我以为我想要打专辑“攻击衰变持续释放”从我的朋友和音乐天才的黄金区段。 I met these lads a while back when they supported Scouting For Girls, and only recently they decided to go on hiatus for a while, only days after they released another quality EP.我会见了这些小伙子们,而回时,他们支持童军女孩,只是在最近,他们决定到就中断了一会儿,只有天之后,他们发表的另一项质量的EP 。

Often I don’t really take note of the meaning of lyrics in songs, and I just think the syllables are there to match that of the beat - however one of their songs called “With Violence” really caught my attention, not only for their interesting take on the subject matter - chavs, but also for the downright accuracy in describing these 21st century parasites.往往我真的不留意的含义,在歌曲的歌词,我只是认为,音节是否有相匹配的节拍-但是他们中的一首歌曲的所谓“暴力”真正引起我的注意,而不是只为他们的有趣的考虑就此事-c havs,而且也为彻头彻尾的准确性,在描述这些二十一世纪的寄生虫。 So, given my recent blogging and annoyance at this breed, I thought it was pretty damn apt to give you a chance to listen to what I think is a very very good song…因此,鉴于我最近的博客和烦扰,在此繁殖,我还以为这是相当可恶容易给你一个机会听到什么,我觉得是一个非常非常好的歌…
