Argassi Noddy Train hit by Greek economy crisis!

The Greek economy today had a devastating effect on the world famous Argassi Noddy Train that runs from Argassi to Zakynthos town. Due to the lack of funding the train has had to cut the length of its route. Mr. Papparazzou the train driver has stated "This is no good, I like driving train". The Train tour guide has said " My tour speech was quite interesting but now it gets a bit repetative, If you look to the right you will see a lampost. Oh and here's something you may be interested in, if you look to the right theres a lampost." The length of the journey has been cut considerably from Argassi to Town it has been shortened to a circuit around a lampost. Hard times indeed LOL

The all new Noddy Train Route!
By the way for people reading this and not read it before i write this blog with a sense of humour so don't worry the Argassi Noddy Train is still going strong.

Well the final touches have been put to bar and its now complete ready for the high season. Still got little tiny bits left inside to do but the main front is finished. Been an amazing start to June what can i say, i'm all cocktailed out haha. Resort is still quiet so i'm told so lets hope it picks up soon for all the businesses sake. Was talking to a barman from one of the AI hotels and he was telling me that as soon as the free drink stops at 11pm the bars empty and no one buys a drink after that. AI's are a horrible tour company idea and so many businesses are now struggling on the main strip its upsetting and all down to tour company greed and blackmailing the hoteliers "Turn AI or we pull out". If tourists boycotted the AI's the tour companies would then have to revert back to normal basis holidays.

Its been a late late week for me with 4.30-5.30am closes since 4/6/11 not complaining as the customers who are staying that late are a great laugh and have the same music likes so we get to play the songs i can't normally play during the busy period. This seasons drinking patterns seem to be before dinner drinkers, lul, after restaurant drinkers, lul, late night drinkers, shattered LOL If the trend continues as it is i may break my record for June as i did with May but i never expect anything, i'm happy for whatever custom i get and for me yes it is good to break records but its not important, the customer enjoying the bar is the most important thing, if you walk in and read outside "chill out bar" but don't like it cause its to quiet then thats not my fault, as people have stated before "it does what it says on the tin".

The Final Cut!

Went shopping today and as i was shopping i thought i'd treat myself and in the freezer i found a Birds Eye Steak Pie MMMMMMM! Now i don't eat much english food over here, in fact i most probably eat less english food than people who come over from the UK for 7-14 days. I mean why eat english food when you can have the wonderful greek food, after all 7-14 days without a sunday roast or egg and chips ain't gonna kill yah! So i decided to buy this family pie but boy did i get a shock on the price €6.78, i tell youi what, this pie better be the best tasting steak pie ever for that price haha.

The worlds most expensive pie!

People keep on asking me how am i No.1 in Kalamaki for restaurants, as stated below my tripadvisor panel someone left a review of my bar on the restaurant section and it snowballed, i told tripadvisor i wasn't a restaurant but they said due to my bar having so many good comments it could stay so there you go. To be honest i am flattered by the rating but i think rating systems on the net you have to just take as a guide not as gospel. I know myself i'm not the best bar on Zakynthos there are much better Greek bars on the island and there are plenty of Traditional Tavernas in town if rated would be No.1 on the island in the restaurant review section so really its all about who gets reviews written about them. There is a little taverna in town i use and the food there is the best i've had (so far) on the island but because it doesn't get reviews written about it it won't get to No.1.

Well its time to cook my pie and watch "The Apprentice", so till next week "Your Fired!" LOL
