OCEANIC, SEASON 8, EPISODE 5, "Invasion of the plastic cups"

Well Howdy Diddly Diddly Doo Bloggerinos and how the devil are we this fine week? Oh, I'm not to bad, can't complain, thanks for asking.

The World Cup is here, Hooray some of you out there say, Boooo say the others. Not bad is it, you get a free holiday to Brazil, stay in a 5 star hotel, get paid a stupid amount of money and only have to play 3 games before you can then relax by a pool for the rest of the tournament LOL. Oh, and before you go saying "Where are Wales then?" I've already said they're crap and never watched them since i was sat behind the goal that Paul Bodin hit the crossbar from a penalty that would have sent us in to our first major tournament since 1958. I blame his stupid moustache.

Still no phone yet so still no pictures and I've seen loads of funny things that would have been great for the blog, aggggggggghhhhhhh! hurry up phone and get here.

So shall we begin. June has continued in the same footsteps as May and its looking very good. Everyone who comes in keeps telling me the resort is very quiet. I don't know myself as i just stay in Oceanic from 7 till about 3.30am at the moment.

This seasons fashion accessory is the clear plastic cup. If your walking down the street make sure you have one in your hand. They come with a variety of different coloured liquids to match your outfit. With every plastic cup comes a free, YES FREE, plastic straw, WWWOOOOOooooooooooo! Yes folks you too could have "The All Inclusive Look". Now I'll be devils advocate here. I really don't have a problem with AI's. That's not whats making the resort quiet. No, its the fact hoteliers are opting for other European tour companies over the British ones due to the other tour companies are offering better money per room. Makes good business sense, you can't blame them. Why accept 10€ per night from a British tour company when say a Romanian, Polish etc etc offer 15€ per night. That's not just gossip that's what hoteliers and apt owners have told me why they have changed tour companies. That then leads to less people eating and drinking out as they usually go self catering and cook themselves and drink on the balconies.

Now don't all faint at once but I've had 3 hours in the sun. YES, lucky me. Only been here two and a half months so not had the time really LOL. I do allot of running around for the bar in the daytime's after the busy night before so can't complain really, I'd be more worried if i was out and about relaxing every day without any work to do for bar.

Did i ever tell you that I'm possessed by an old lady from around the 1930's-1940's. Its a weird thing cause every now and again a song pops in to my head from around that time and its being sung by an old lady. What do i mean? Well songs that go something like "oops, dear, who's your lady friend, who's the little girly by your side" just randomly pops in to my head and i have never heard them before and i start singing them out loud, when alone obviously, not when I'm in the middle of a shopping street. I haven't got a musical version of turrets. They are all along the lines of those sort of feel good songs that they would sing during the blitz or on stage. Come on, you know what i mean like "Have banana, its a big one" or "Doodsy doh, diddly doh, diddly doh dee di doh". Those little ditty's that were sung while bombs were raining down, that stiff upper British lip, "Look at us, you may take our homes, you may take our lives but we'll sing a jolly good rip roaring song as we go, that will show 'em". I'm not Derek Acorah so please no asking for me to get in touch with the other side LOL.

I've had my first deliveries of the season. 1 box of frosties, 2 black pudding 2 white pudding, 12 M & S Muffins, 2 large black puddings 12 Wharburton Crumpets and 1 bottle of Honey Jack Daniels. All that has been given to me in the past 2 weeks and all i got left is 2 crumpets 1/4 of the large black pudding and half a bottle of honey JD. Why does it all taste so good mmmmmmmmmmmm. I do like cooking but i do miss a Tazies Burger at the end of a busy shift while I'm sat on bed making a mess as it all falls apart but tastes so good. By the time i bought one and got home it would be cold but they do taste really really good. That's why allot of the time i take a Puzzle Special salad home as its already cold but it does make a mess when eating it in bed LOL.

I do miss not having pictures to put on here and write about, seems weird and because of that i got to write more, GOD DAMN IT! It takes me long enough to do a blog update without having to write more LOL.

I've been asked a few times this season "What makes the bar work?". I don't know. Maybe its because i have the oldest form of entertainment, just music, conversation and drinks, nothing else. That combination is thousands of years old. In the courts of kings and queens there were minstrels (that's musicians not the chocolate sweet), alcohol and conversation. They didn't have Karaoke, bingo, quizzes, TV's, wifi and theme nights back thousands of years ago. You wouldn't see Henry VIII on a karaoke "I WANT TO SING NEXT! Put that song on by Herman and his Hermits, I'm Henry the VIII i am. Where is thy lyric sheet, give the mic more reverb so i sound good or its off with your head"
Its no huge secret what i do, its just a bar being a bar and nothing more than that. As soon as you start to put on events and offers people will only come in if they want those things and you isolate the people that don't want those things. You can't go wrong with just music and drink. Everyone drinks whether it be alcohol or non alcohol and everyone has listened to music. Simplez! (It also keeps your cost to a minimum, tight short ass welshman you see LOL)

Well folks my 2 index fingers are starting to ache from typing so much so I'm going to soak them in a warm cup of water with some radox in it. Poor index fingers.

Until my next update (hopefully with pics)

Serve All, Love All, Peace All. Kevlar Out!
