Galle - Sri Lanka

Advantages: valued experiences
Disadvantages: No

...I am going to explain my experience in Galle. I went on a trip to Galle with my friends. We took "Ruhunu Kumari" train. It was operated through the coastal area. Scenery was so beautiful and we enjoyed very much.The beaches are very beautiful. There were few tourists in the train. You have to realize how beautiful Galle is. You can see fishermen sitting on sticks fishing in the see along the south coast. It is a strange technique of fishing. Nobody knows how this technique originated from. It works as the stilts are attractive sceneries. You can catch a glimpse of the famouse stilt fishermen in the down south. You are lucky as such a sight is nowhere to be found in Sri Lanka. Stilt fishing is famous as a generational occupation among the fishermen with the child taking after father. They make their own stilts on the reef...

Review of Galle (Sri Lanka)

Loads of grace at the old Galle Face

Advantages: colonial splendour, a very welcome retreat from a dirty old town
Disadvantages: Don't be absurd!

...Colombo City is a deranged, dusty, frenetic type of place where large brown cows wander self righteously down the main roads seemingly oblivious to the crazed over stuffed buses and insane tuk-tuk drivers that cross their paths;(while in Sri Lanka I noted with some amusement that while traffic will screech to a halt and patiently wait for cows, dogs and the delightful, lazy monitor lizards to amble at their own pace across the roads, humans receive none of this polite conduct and have to take their own lives in their hands)..............the humidity is breathtaking, like being suffocated by a warm, wet towel, but fear not respite can be had in the form of the grand old colonial hotel "Galle Face". Established in 1864 this is a salute to the old colonial days when Sri Lanka was Ceylon and pale, european ladies perspired gently in...

GET BLADDERED!

Advantages: Tasty, chocolatey and interesting. Not fishy!
Disadvantages: Hard to find except by mail order.

...Every now and again a beer comes along that intrigues me. Kelpie Organic Seaweed Ale is definitely one of these beers. The name is certainly interesting, but so are the concept and the beer itself! Please don't be put off by the name or the seaweed ~ Kelpie DOES NOT taste of fish! Kelpie is the name given to the creatures that, according to legend, live in the Lochs of Scotland ~ Nessie is the most famous of these. The picture on the pump clip (and bottle label) of Kelpie Organic Seaweed Ale is actually the Pictish symbol for one of these mythical beasts. The beer itself REALLY is brewed using seaweed (bladder wrack to be precise) that is harvested, usually in the spring, from off the Argyll Coast. Heather Ales and Craigmill Brewery Ltd can be found in an old 18th Century Watermill. The owners (Bruce and Scott Williams...

Review of Kelpie Seaweed Ale

When the (bladder) pressure's on

Advantages: No odour, discreet, effective
Disadvantages: Expensive if required long term, embarrassing to buy

..."For goodness' sake, " said Mrs. Slarti, "that's the fourth time you've been this morning, and you got up twice last night." I knew where this conversation was going. As a 50+ year-old bloke I figured that perhaps it was time I got my prostate checked out. I put thoughts of Billy Connolly's description of a prostate exam out of my mind and dutifully trotted to the doc. I described the symptoms to her and answered a barrage of other questions. Then the much feared digital rectal examination, where 'digital' means 'latex gloved finger' and plenty of KY. Not nearly as bad as Connolly made out, in fact nothing to it apart from a slight feeling of embarrassment. Then arrangements for PSA and urine tests and an appointment for two weeks time. "Oh, and Mr. Slarti, I'd like you to keep a bladder diary. Record times and volumes when you pee...

Review of Tena For men

One of the most prestigious hotels in Sri Lanka.

Advantages: Extremly Affordable, Very High Standards, Professional Service, Family Friendly Atmosphere, A Secure Place.
Disadvantages: Might not be appealing of you arent into classical stuff.

...Galle Face hotels is one of Sri Lanka's best hotels. First built in the late 1800's Century, and about 200 years later, it still has the old colonial splendor. Walking into the hotel for the first time in my life, the very professional service was what struck me at first. But then walking through those grand doors, it seemed as if I had travel back through time to when the British ruled Sri Lanka. From the furniture to the to the wallpaper, the management has managed to conceal the hotel from our ever changing environment and maintain the classical atmosphere. The atmosphere is not only the best feature. The location adds to the prestige of the hotel. Set by the sea, the hotel's own restaurant , the 'Sea Spray', is the most romantic spot in the hotel. A candle light dinner at this awesome place is the best thing that could happen to...

Soya vs Lungs and bladders.

Advantages: Fantastic versatility, great taste, very healthy.
Disadvantages: None i can think of.

...other parts of the body. Are you starting to think what is left? Yes the head, ears, nose, offal, lung tissue, hoofs, blood vessels, bits of bowels, and bladders and the list could go on. I just gave you the nice bits. Don?t forget I know people who work in abattoirs and meat factories. I am not lying. Now when you sit down and enjoy your McDonalds or any other burger for that matter, think about what you would do if they sold you half a lung for your burger. You do realise you are giving this muck to your kids. Right, now I have made my point on why you shouldn?t eat meat mince, then I must give you an alternative or it wouldn?t be fair. Holland and Barrett make a lovely product called ?Natures harvest?, savoury flavoured Soya protein mince. To find a decent Soya that could honestly replace meat mince was a long and arduous project...

Review of Soya Protein

ALL HAIL...SLACK BLADDER

Advantages: great cast, great scripts - a timeless comedy classic series
Disadvantages: we are still waiting for a 5th series

...overacting best. An Elizabethan ‘superstar’ and out to take whatever is offered and a few things more besides. Edmund, for once is in awe – or is he? Let’s not forget the part that Stephen Fry plays in all this. Upper class, haughty – he performs the role to a ‘T’. As Lord Melchett, the Queens advisor, Fry is the ‘straight as an arrow, humourless, sexless butt of all jokes. And of course Patsy Byrne as a rather ‘warped’ , but funny and down to earth ‘Nursey’. Priceless and timeless humour Then we hit the Regency period. Hugh Laurie joins the ‘gang’ as the Idiot Prince Regent. Fry is his cohort too as he reprises his Melchett role. And Edmund is …well Slack Bladder again. This time much of the action revolves around the ‘new boy’ Laurie. He...

Review of Blackadder - Complete (DVD)

WARNING - FILM MAY LEAD TO LOSS OF BLADDER CONTROL

Advantages: funny lines, great cast and characters, visually funny
Disadvantages: none

...skin and wear it to my birthday... It's coming up...") There was many MANY one liners in this film. Obviously, as with most Ferrell films, it can occasionally be hit or miss in whether it is in fact funny or not, but the hits are far more frequent than the misses. In fact, I went into the film mildly needing the toilet (the toilet on the 4th level of Cineworld Glasgow was out of order unfortunately), I then spent the whole film wishing I had a nappy because good as my bladder control is normally, it could barely hold against my almost constant laughter. Don't worry, I didn't actually wet myself - but it was a close call and I ended up making the man race me home as fast as he could (i couldn't find another toilet after the film) and even then I barely made it! Anyway, enough about that... what really makes the film uniquely funny is...
