Saturday and Sunday Bank Holiday

Never been to Liverpool before, and it was an interesting night indeed.

We hit up the centre and ended up in this really really cool Cuban style bar, I have no idea what it was called but it was great, it is one of the top 10 bars in Europe or something.

My state was shit, I was procrastinating like a mofo....ah well, still had a Gr8 time. We then bounced to this other club called Garlands. It was an interesting night, not usually my cup of tea, but what the hell I was in lala land and was just going with the flow.

The place turned out to be in the heart of the gay district, I am not bothered at all, but the fact I didn't pick up on the signs is highly amusing for everyone including me! The unisex toilet, the trannys on stage, people high on drugs etc etc. I only realised the next day after reading Mazs blog haha.

We ended up dancing with a bunch of girls on the dance floor, I was being grinded upon by this girl in a police outfit. I have never been grinded on that hard by a girl ever, it got to the point where I had to push her away cos if it went on any longer I would have cum in my pants......really! I got the impression she was a bit miffed and most likely she got pissed off but ah well, we had a quick snog too lol.

Then the drive back at like 5am where we got hit by the snow storm, that was bad, saw a car or 2 that had spun out. We stayed behind a gritter and went along the M62 at 30mph. By the time we got to Huddersfield it was starting to clear and turn to slush cos of the rain, so it was all good.

I got home at about 630am and my mum was awake watching TV, she didn't say a word and I went to sleep and woke up at like 430pm in the afternoon. I was considering going out again, but I just lay in bed and couldn’t not be fucking arsed!

Saf rang me and invited me to his bros place to watch films and smoke shesha, so I went down and watch Wrong Turn 2...what a crap film, pretty gory. It actually pushes my comfort zone to watch such films, I spent most of the time clutching a cushion lol.

We then cruised about for a bit and ended up chatting up some chicks...3am car game baby. I actually got some anxiety and told my mates it was all there’s lol. But the girls wanted to see who was in back, so I started chatting. The girls said something and I told the main girl straight up "we never asked you to believe us did we" while holding eye contact and that rocked their boat. Saf was about to start slagging them off and I stopped them.

Saf asked me why I stopped him from slagging them off. I told him why do you want to, you barely know these girls. Why are you going to let anything they say even bother you. He was like I don't like girls getting one over me. I told him that you barely know them, how could they possibly get one over you, I don't think he fully understood what I meant.....sometimes I wonder myself lol

I had to go into work for a few hours on Monday, and then I just chilled out with some old m8s and then went to bed....and back to the daily grind!

Thursday Friday Bank Holiday

Right the whole bank holiday weekend.

Thursday night went out with Jonny into Leeds, we hit up New Revolution and it was rammed silly, we were just messing about on the dance floor and just fucking about between ourselves and got quite a bit of proximity from girls, opened a few and bottled a lot and kept dancing! We went downstairs I opened a few and we just had a laugh among ourselves.

A girl I know was out on her work leaving do, and I didn't manage to meet up with her and her work crew, which was a shame but shit happens lol.

We hit up Bar Risa and had a laugh, we got chatting to these 2 older women in the queue and one of them was a MILF wahoooooo, and then this opened up some girls behind us and we were talking away for quite a while, some of the younger girls were a bit underage..hmmmmmm. Bar Risa was full of a lot of underage girls/guys from what Annie Parker told me, who we randomly bumped into.

We tried to get into Prohibition on Greek Street at 2:30am, which is where Miriam was on her leaving party, but they wouldn't let us in, because they were closing down...booooooooooooo.

All in all a very fun night and the start of a very long weekend to come!

Friday involved me going into work for a few hours in the morning (yes I work for HBOS and I still have to go in on a BANK HOLIDAY) how ironic lol. Once I was done from there my old Scottish m8 Irfan (who is now married to a girl from Halifax and lives there now) came down and we chilled and chatted. He is probably the best natural I know, and speaks so much sense. Girls just jump all over him and he does the square root of fuck all, but it is his inner beliefs and mind set. He has studied multiple martial arts and always faces his fears etc etc.

After that went to Bodles house party, which was just such a laugh. A certain Asian girl bought some weed and some of us got high.

Yvette was insistent I shove this banana up her ass....and of course I am going to oblige, and we dossed about a bit.

People in the UK smoke it with tobacco, I'm like helllll nooo, I want it rolled straight up on its own. Everyone is like you need some tobacco, I'm like no I never do that. Naila has like 70% tobacco and 30% weed, me after much arguing with them agrees to 80% weed and 20% tobacco lol.

Naila is out of it after 1 of her light weight joints, while I'm still going fine after 2 of my much hardcore joints. Naila has a bit of mine and can’t believe I am still standing.

Yvette left at like 12am, such a light weight! We did all have a good feel of Yvette fake boobs which was cool, and Yvette let us all know that Claries boobs are fake too. Claire is a girl we all work with, and you would never guess that hers are fake. Yvette knew because Claire had asked her advice before getting it done!

We watched Rocky 3, man love those films. ROCKY ROCKY ROCKY, this was the one with Mr T as Clubber Lang, some awesome one liners in that film

"What's your prediction from the match Clubber Lang?"

"PAAAAINNNNNNN!"

Naila fell asleep by about 2am and Bodle was knackered, and HE went to bed shortly after, me and Raymond stayed up and watched a bit of TV and we ended up discussing chatting up girls, and me giving him advice, I told him to come join me on a night out, the next time I am in Huddersfield.

He left at 4am, he later told us he was driving home through Brighouse, and these random drunk dudes were walking in the middle of the road, and he had to stop to let them pass, but one of the guys open Raymonds passenger door, so Raymond put his foot down and sped off. In the background he said he could hear one of the guys shouting "TAXXIIIIIII" lol. That's the last thing you want happening at 4am!

Me and Naila, left Bodles house at like 5pm the next day (Saturday), we just chilled out and were still a bit monged from the night b4. Naila was still out of it.....man she smokes this shit a hell of a lot more often then me. I not smoked this stuff in years. I smoke it in Amsterdam and when I lived in Canada, I VERY RARELY smoke it in the UK. LIGHT WEIGHTS THE LOT OF YA lol.

I went to my sisters had something to eat and went home had a shower and everything and then headed off to meet Sunnee/Jonny/Maz and go to Liverpool.

Enjoy some more random pics

Sweden Pics and Vids!
































Sweden!

Now see Sweden was fun. All sorts of stuff went on. We were staying in a former prison, which in itself was great, we all stayed in former cells, but now they have a LCD TV and nice beds and a walk in shower/bathroom!...Criminals never had it soo good!

During the day we spent most of our time wondering around central Stockholm, visiting the museums and shops, chatting to people, waving at randoms and everything in-between. There is a really cool video clip of me dancing with this guy on the street who is playing a harmonica, he was really getting into it and really flowing so I joined in and started doing my Soulja Boy dance….all be it a pretty crap version, and I think I kind of elbowed the guy in the face too lol.



I am pretty sure we weirded a fair few people out….hell I know I did!

We arrived on Wednesday night at the hotel at like 1am, and were all too knackered to do anything. Thursday we hit up the central area of Stockholm and visited all the shops, I was wondering why there were H&M stores everywhere, until a woman told me it is a Swedish Brand!...you learn something new everyday, there are probably more H&M stores in Stockholm then there are in the rest of the world lol. They have a whole shopping arcade called SOUK, and it is full of UK shops (Topman / Topshop etc), but it is even more expensive then the UK.

Walking around during the day……… the woman. They are generally very cute and attractive, and in general wear very little makeup at all. You are just a bit like WHOA, takes some adjusting. Some are your typical blond haired girls, but a lot of the women out there dye their hair black or brown etc just to stand out.

They are very friendly too, I can see how living there would get you used to seeing attractive women in general and you would become desensitized to it all. Me and Maz discussed this at some length; he mentioned how in like 1 day he had seen a few women that ticked all his boxes, while in Leeds that would probably happen like once a month or something. I have to agree with that, they can all hold a good conversation and have a laugh too

Wez brought his SLR camera with him, there is a corker picture on there of me and Andy (dressed like some Taliban type dude), but I have not been able to get it from Wez ……yet.

To be fair our pictures in general don’t do the girls justice, at night you can take loads of pics but during the day its kind of weird….even for us ;-)

During the night we hit up a few different areas, but the really cool places that we wanted to hit, we couldn’t. Skybar wanted to check all out IDs but Nigel didn’t bring his with him! So we all bounced elsewhere, and it just got to late to get in anywhere, so we hit up a different area, the bars are good, but damn expensive. The British have a bad rep over there, I don’t know if it is because of how we are depicted on TV (as drunken yobs) or from some previous experience they have with us British. We got eyed out, checked out and asked if we had anything to drink before coming out lol.

So we basically ended up in some random bars, was interesting but nothing spectacular, we even ended up on this club that was on a boat docked in the harbour. The whole time I had been there, I thought CHAVS did not exist till we arrived at the boat, but bloody hell it was a bit grimy that place and there were CHAVS! That was an experience and a half I might say.

Some of the bars shut at 1am then some shut at 3am and then some shut at 5am, so you bounce from one to another and another. So we bounced from one place to the next. Now the high class bars, like Skybar open till 5am and would have a totally different clientele to the people (chavs) we encountered on the boat! Its all good, was a good experience.

I videoed Maz doing some direct approaching, and he videoed me doing one. You can watch mine below:



You see me shake my head and put my face in my hands, this is when she tells me she is 17! DAM! After watching it, you see a couple of girls walk past and turn there heads around looking at what I am doing,…..see that stuff doesn’t happen to women very often. When I did it she got really shocked and stepped back a little, it was that far out of her reality. She smiled and was happy it happened….really which girl would not like that kind of thing to happen to them?! Whenever I do that kind of thing, my instinct is telling me to bail ASAP, and I have to stay in there. IMO I bailed a bit too early, but the fact she was 17 killed it for me.

I also spent a lot of my time doing loads of random stuff….like only I can:

Random girls would walk past and I would say:

Konnichiwa (Kon-ee-chee-wa), which is Hello in Japanese and when they would walk off I would say it’s Sayonara (Sa-yo-na-ra), which is Goodbye in Japanese. There were plenty of bemused looks indeed!

Then there was my Arnold Schwarzenegger impression from Kindergarten Cop:

My name is Detective John Kimble! WHO IS YOUR DADDY…..AND WHAT DOES HE DO!?

And then my Terminator impression:

I HAVE COME BACK FROM THE FUTURE TO PROTECT YOU FROM THE MACHINES……………COME WITH ME IF YOU WANT TO LIVE!

All done in a monotone slow and deep voice, but the Andy, Wez, Nigel and Maz kept laughing and I just couldn't help laughing too lol


Then there was the whole FATALITY/BACK PAIN/EXTREME BACK PAIN and GROUND BEEF, dance moves we were trying to pull off. Maz did the Fatality and the others a good few times; I think I did maybe one of each.

I kept on meeting the older women and MILFs it was strange, I am not complaining but hey…interesting none the less lol

Stuff in general was not cheap, drinks were expensive, thank god I don’t drink, cover charges for the clubs were HIGH and considering you are bouncing to multiple places and then every place has a coat check charge also…it all adds up. A coke can cost you like 4 or 5 quid, which is steep indeed.

They get taxed a lot out there also; wages are taxed at 50%!

This is why I like travelling and it is one of my biggest passions, the jokes, the stories, the people you meet and everything in between. I have plenty of stories to tell, loads of pics and vids and loads of memories, and we left a lot of people in Stockholm happy and a little bit weirded out by us!

All sorts of other stuff went on, but that would mean I would have to keep on writing for ages ;-) Now I am totally broke till I get paid, but I would rather travel and be broke, then be rich and stressed out.

A Nice Update!

Right updating this blog is becoming harder and harder simply because I am having trouble finding time.

Right went out on Thursday night last week, bumped into the girl I met when I was out with Adam. My mojo is still really low but I am plugging away still.

Then Saturday rolled around and we all went to Brum, Ken come in from Manchester and we picked him up from the station, Manny went to find Ken, but Ken found his own way to the car....and Manny came back with a can of Fosters 5 minutes later lol

We all drove down and Jonny bought the tunnneeees. Driving round Birmingham is a pain...even with Sat Nav.

The hotel was smack bang in the city centre....right next to the Primark of all places! The hotel itself was pretty pants, it looked nice on the outside but the rooms were a bit pants and they had TVs from the 1960s or some shit!

We all went to Nados for a bite to eat, nice food; the medium was not that hot really. Diego came down with Ste and Tim also, he dropped his stuff off in our room while he waited for Kush to turn up.

The Sat Nav on my phone crashed a few times....you got to love a phone that runs Microsoft Windows lol. My phone still sends and receives txts and calls, but I can't really answer or reply while it is strapped to my windscreen helping me navigate Brum lol and it can cause my phone to crash.

Kush nearly got kicked out of his flat, cos he had way too many people round ha!

I got a call from a girl in Nottingham I hadn't chatted to for a while, I escalated on the phone and it didn't happen, that was the back end on Jan, so I as surprised to hear from her, cos she disappeared off the radar. Nothing much happened she was like I will call u tomorrow, I just told her it was good she was still alive and I wished her all the best in whatever she is doing....which is the truth.

EDIT she just called as I was writing this up on my phone, we chatted for a little while, she is a sincerely sweet girl, a good head on her shoulders and everything. I told her when she called me last I was in the process of purging a lot of numbers and hers was on the list to go.

Me: I just thought you should know that, I am not one to dwell on things, not heard from you or anything..So I just chalked it up.
Her: *silence*
Me:*silence*
Her: You know what you have just shut me up big time.
Me: Man if I knew it was that easy I would have done it a long time ago (in a fun tone) lol
Her: You are evil! (In a light hearted tone)

We kept talking, I told her about my nephew and how proud I am of him, and we chatted about mother’s day and everything.

She told me her ex was becoming a psycho, I told her I didn't want to know, there are other people she could share that with lol, she mentioned she got introduced to a guy in Glasgow, the same cast and everything and she is gonna see how that goes. in my mind I was like DOH, but I am happy for her.

She said

Her: he is a bit too straight and clear cut
Me: I'm sure you will corrupt him in no time!

She said she would call again for a long proper catch up.....I told her I wish her all the best in everything she is doing, and that she has a good head on her shoulders and everything and to keep in touch. which is the truth. I am not bothered either way if she calls, I am pretty sure that came through in our conversation too.

We went to Oceana and had a laugh, I ran a couple of things, one started to go really well the bouncer made us move so I bounced to the bar, but the mate didn't like Jonny and dragged the girl I was talking to away...shit happens.

Then in the VIP area they had GREEN GRAPES, so off me and Jonny went to introduce
girls to the finer arts of grape eating lol. I was telling them the Man From Delmonte SAID YES! I stuck one grab down this girls boobies and but grape popped back out and fell on the floor....dammm what a waste of a grape! ;-)

We spent the rest of the night chilling out and I spent like 3 hours dancing or some shit...considering I can't dance that is pretty damn good, stayed till the end of the night and was trying the dance floor grime, dance floor game eludes me a bit at the mo it is something I am going to have to add to my list of things to work on.

Manny got his ass kicked out of the club, cos he was pissed and asleep in the VIP area. He gave the bouncer grief, something along the lines of:

Manny: you should be rolling the red carpet out for me...not kicking me out...I bet you enjoy your job don't you! That's right bitch you best open that door if you’re kicking me out lol

Manny was fast asleep in the hotel when we got back....he was out like a light! Manny managed to spit all over his jacket also....don't ask lol

Sunday we chilled out in the Bullring, we all went and had nice breakfast. Manny was dressed like some ghetto chav...seriously. We tried a bit of day game....my skills in that area are fucking shit at the mo, you can tell I am uncomfortable...bleh what's a guy to do...except keep plugging away!

Jonny was in heaven in Brum, Asian and Black chicks everywhere...he was buzzing! Will defo go down again; it’s been ages since I was last down there. I had a blast and it was fun, jonny bought a really nice T Shirt I am going to be looking for some nice jeans by that brand...cos that some sexy shizzle.
