Trees Lounge

Advantages: Great acting
Disadvantages: Abit depressing but with lighter parts

...This Steve Buschemi's debut as writer and director. Made in 1996 it is a relatively unknown film but was a critcal if not commercial succes for Buschemi The film is about an alcoholic named Tommy (Steve Bushemi), the film starts and he is trying to wangle one more drink out of the barmaid 15 minutes after 'time'. The barmaid Connie(played by Carol Kane - Hester Street, Taxi) is obviously familiar and serves him with Tommy, which is an interesting tenet to the film as everyone knows everyone in this small suburb and everyone knows Tommy and he seems to recoil from it in shame. The bar 'Trees Lounge' is always populated by Tommy, an elderly alcoholic Bobby and another successful alcoholic Mike (Mark Boone Junior - Batman Begins, Lonesome Jim) Tommy starts to form a friendship with Mike thinks he is a looser. Mike is a strange character...

The Departure Lounge Cafe

Advantages: Lovely rural location, easy to get to, great food and pleasant staff.
Disadvantages: Does not take credit or debit cards and no Stella!

...The Departure Lounge Café THE PLACE WITH THE PLANE **** WHERE IS IT? ******* Basingstoke Road Alton Hampshire GU34 4BH Tel: 01420 80111 Email: pastyfarley@hotmail.com No official website as far as I know yet. Open seven days a week from 10 till 4. Sunday 7.00am - 9.00am Takeaway for Car boot Sale only ***** WHAT IS IT? ***** I found this place completely by chance and how pleased I am to have bothered to stop in the car park. I only came down for the car boot sale and low and behold saw this gorgeous little eatery tucked away in the corner. This little known café has only been opened a year so everything inside is still relatively new and shiny. Situated inside the HILLSIDE NURSERIES car park, it is easy to pass this completely without realising what a little gem Alton has on offer for food...

Review of The Departure Lounge Cafe

Curry, but no lounging!

Advantages: Stylish
Disadvantages: We felt rushed, small portions of popadoms and naan

...I found myself in Nottingham at on New Years Eve 2007 and, at the suggestion of a chum who is a big Gordon Ramsay fan, we went to a restaurant that the foul-mouthed chef had worked his magic on in his 'Kitchen Nightmares' TV show - Curry Lounge. I must admit I was a little unsure whether I actually wanted to visit a place that was in enough of a mess that Ramsay had to sort it out, but I assumed that it would probably be fine after he'd finished with it. Besides, it was good enough to win second place in the curry of the year (for Nottingham, I think) beforehand, so it should be pretty good, I thought... THE LOCATION Curry lounge can be found at 110 Upper Parliament Street, 2 or 3 minutes walk from the tram stop in Nottingham town centre. It's worth looking up the location yourself online, or at least make sure that the friend...

Review of Ibiza (Spain)

Education, Ibiza style.

Advantages: It's an Education
Disadvantages: I still dont live there

...Back in the day, when I only had 6 (Yes I counted them, I bet you did/will too) grey hairs and before I made the now obligatory grunt as I clamber out of bed/ a chair/ the car, I was a Rep in Ibiza. There is a popular misconception that "Holiday Rep" is short for "Holiday Reprobate" and in some cases, from my own experiences, this is very true. However, I feel I have earned the right as someone who has "been there, done that" as well as seen every "Essex Boyz On Tour" 'Comedy T-shirt' to shine the torch of explanation into the murky darkness of wonderment. I can honestly say that before I started life as a holiday representative, I thought I knew what hard work was. Silly me. Let me furnish your good selves with an example. On Friday at 9am, I would start work, and on Sunday at 8pm I would finish. Now obviously I didn't work every...

Review of Ibiza Town

Ibiza Uncovered.

Advantages: sun, sea, sand, relax or be lively. Reasonably priced holidays.
Disadvantages: none

...After going to majorca a few times we wanted to try somewhere different. My sister sugested Ibiza so we thought we would try it. After trawling through brochures for which part to try we chose Es Cana. Ibiza is famous as a clubber's paradise but there are other islands for those who want a quieter holiday. You can find the hustle and bustle if you want to, and you don't have to look far. It could be just a 10 min walk away. You may choose the quiet life just sitting on your balcony watching the days go by. I have 2 children aged 9 + 13 and I have gone to Ibiza for my last 2 holidays. We all think it is fantastic. It is very picturesque with fantastic clear seas and lovely sandy beaches. When I asked if we would try somewhere different this year everyone said no lets go back to Es Cana. The weather has been great on both occassions...

Review of Ibiza (Spain)

Ibiza Rediscovered .... Puerto San Miguel

Advantages: Relaxed, quiet, beautiful surroudings.
Disadvantages: Captive market in local shops and bars meant high prices - you need a car.

...The world has so much on offer and I believe if you are fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel there is so much to see. I rarely return to any particular destination, Puerto San Miguel now being no exception to this rule. Up until February 2004, I worked for a major tour operator and had the good fortune to get last minute short-haul holidays at silly prices. Being a little too greedy for my own good two years ago I decided to run the risk of leaving our booking until 48 hours before departure. The gamble didn?t quite pay off; all that was left on offer was Ibiza or a long-haul destination that unfortunately our budget couldn?t quite stretch to. San Antonio was a long distant memory; it was some 20 years since I?d experienced the thrill and excitement of my first holiday without my parents! Ibiza had certainly opened my...

Spice Lounge, Magdalen Street, Norwich

Advantages: Clean, modern, great service
Disadvantages: None

...Situated at the top of Wensum Street and opposite the Maids Head Hotel, the Spice Lounge is far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the Prince Of Wales Road and Riverside areas, but close enough to walk for a few drinks post food. The Spice Lounge is the only curry house that I would take someone to on the first date. The whole place ozzes class and style. Unlike other curry houses in Norwich, this is a curry restaurant. Walking down Wensum Street you can't help but notice the neon blue lights screaming 'look at me'. The entrance is spacious, and very modern. As you walk in to the left is a seating area and to the right is the bar. The entrance is large enough for your group to congregate and chat whilst waiting for the stragglers - without getting in the way of other diners. This is the only curry restaurant that I...

Ibiza Uncovered

Advantages: Best clubs in the world and great weather in lovely surroundings
Disadvantages: Littering and drunken Brits

...Most people in Britain will have heard of the Spanish island of Ibiza. It is part of the Balearics and is situated in the Mediterranean, around 2 1/2 hours flight from Britain. As soon as Ibiza is mentioned it conjures up images of drunken British yobs, drugged up clubbers and constant partying, and although all of these things do exist on this beautiful island I would say that it is not as full on as TV programmes such as 'Ibiza Uncovered' make it out to be. Much of the island plays host to many a family holiday, and in some of the remote areas you can observe traditional Spanish life that has remained unchanged for decades. But anyway that's enough about that, here I've tried to give you a broad guide to the white isle, I've not put everything in, but I'm sure you'll agree that if I went on any longer then you may well never read any...

Review of Ibiza (Spain)

Cafe Del Ibiza

Advantages: Clubs, Clubs and more Clubs, breathtaking scenery
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Well I was going to leave this for a while, but as the summer season is now upon us, I thought I would share this with you Clubbers (and non-clubbers) out there! Myself and Paul went to Ibiza in the summer of 2001 so any prices listed below have probably changed since the introduction of the Euro. We paid around 189.00 pounds each for a week?s self-catering in San Antonio in early September. You can still find holidays for around this price in many of your local travel agents. There are plenty of hotels and self-catering apartments scattered around the island, ranging from the very grotty to 5 star luxury. INTRODUCTION Ibiza truly is the party capital of the world! Not that I have visited everywhere in the world, but for such a small island there is an immense number of clubs. On driving between San Antonio and Ibiza...
