You may have seen on a Saturday night at 7pm on BBC1 a programme called "Total Wipeout" well i've decided to apply to go on it, i got my application form, filled it in and off its gone. Now the chances of getting to the second stage is very slim think there is 3 stages in all before your accepted for the actual programme, can you imagine how may people want to go on this show, a 8 day trip to Argentina plus the chance to win £10,000 so i'm not getting my hopes up but i sent in a witty application along with some photos as thats what they ask for. Below are 2 of my application pics, one to show ability as a welshman to sing and the other to show i'm an idiot LOL
The Singer
The Idiot
I see that on a facebook group that was set up for my bar (not the official oceanic facebook) that someone has asked the question "why i don't by the things i need from Zakynthos to help the greek economy". Well , not that i have to explain my actions but i will. There are a few reasons why but at the same time that question that was asked could be reversed when i'm on Zakynthos "Why don't i buy things from UK to help the british economy". Anyway these are the reasons 1/ The island doesn't have everything that i need so i need to by them from specialist suppliers 2/ I can buy things from the UK, have them shipped and they still end up cheaper than buying them in Greece for example, a table in Ikea UK costs £8 in Greece that same table is £18 3/ I also have to think of my economy, any business will by a product they need from wherever they get it at the best price. 4/ Out of all the money i spend to do with my bar and living on Zakynthos 90% of that money is spent in Greece. 5/ Because Zakynthos is a small island and the suppliers know you need what they've got the prices can be 3 times as much compared to the UK or on the net. So in summary i do help the Greek economy and thats without the tax i pay. I'm sure that other businesses on the Island buy outside of Greece and pay less tax than me. And that ends my financial lecture LOL.
Not done that much this week as the weather has been so pooh its kept me locked in the house which is starting to make me stir crazy but there was a saviour Friday night "Meatloaf", well not the real one but he was really good. We were invited to a surprise 40th and the ladies favourite singer is Meatloaf so they got a local tribute act in. Now to be honest i wasn't expecting much, a welsh guy doing Meatloaf. I've seen alot of tribute acts in my line of work and most were rubbish but this guy was so good it could have been a CD playing but it wasn't. I've got his name and number so i'm going to try to get him out to Zakynthos for a few gigs around the island, he also later sung some more modern tracks Killers, Kaiser Chiefs and more, not dressed as Meatloaf obviously LOL.
Ladys and Gentleman i give you, Meatlof!
Now i know its a short update but the sun has just come out and i need to get out in it as we don't see it that often in South Wales, so time to slap on the suntan lotion, put my shorts on, get my shades out and go for a walk. By the way thats a joke but i have seen some people do that as soon as the sun comes out haha. Byyyeeee!
