Gosh is it really a week since I arrived back from the White Isle? Or probably two weeks before I have finished writing this. Myself and my very good friend, Martin, decided a few months back to go especially for Cocoon on 19th September with the massively exciting line-up of Guy Gerber, Dana Ruh, Sonja […]
Early last year, myself and my most important advisor (family excepted) decided that we would have a party weekend away somewhere. Ideally I wanted to go to a country I’d never visited, and again ideally somewhere inexpensive. We batted a few ideas around but given that we intended it on being a clubbing weekend, and […]
Me and my sister decided that we wanted to replicate the success of previous weekend breaks to Bologna, Stuttgart and Brussels but this time go somewhere that would still hopefully be warm and sunny – Lisbon. I’d actually done some research before we went this time, so we had an itinerary (what an oddly spelt […]
I’m writing this review of my 12th trip to Ibiza two weeks after getting back. Is it really two weeks already? There were 12 of us going to the villa, all couples, except for me and JP. Yes JP was sharing a room with me. He must have been crazy to agree that. And various […]
I had never been to Poland before, nor to a ski resort (unless you count Burnley) so I jumped at the opportunity of a cheap weekend away – just £15 a night B&B and the return flights were £70. I didn’t know what to expect except alcohol, cold and snow. However my first taste of […]
I’ve decided to mix it up a bit and not do a straight up review of my trip (partly because a fair amount of it should not be listed publicly), but instead a list of what I have learnt: 1. It is particularly difficult to find an off license in Dublin. 2. Dublin looks similar […]
There tend to be disturbances prior to my visits to foreign lands – riots in Paris many years ago, a bomb threat evacuated Ibiza airport the morning of one trip, the army were sent to protect London airports just before another trip abroad…this, my first trip to look at foreigners this year, was no different: […]
The highlight of my weekend just gone is difficult to choose – DJing to 3 people, a gift of a tea, publishing my autumn weather forecast, a visit from my Parisian delight, an evening at the Oakford and some amazing semi-drunken southern fried chicken – Chicken Cottage is the chicken you need by the way. […]
So for the first part of proving I am still young enough to handle crazy weekends was a trip to Manchester for the Rugby League World Cup Final. I was first taken to The Boulevard in Hull (sounds nicer than it was but rugby league is not supposed to be gltiz and glamour…well except for […]
Ahh Ryanair. It is amazing how many morons are on the Ryanair flight to Ibiza. Can anyone answer if other destinations have such a high proportion of nobheads on their respective budget flights? I decided that it would be more fun to fly with Ryanair from East Midlands…first going south to Basingstoke, then west to […]
