Only bad things happen quickly

I must say I completely disagree with this statement, for me all the good things happen quickly. When I'm having a good time, time literally flies by. Its when you're dealing with bad things in your personal or work life that the day never seems to end.

The Bungalow needs to learn something

They need to learn a little something something about good service that is.

I went down to The Bungalow this past Sunday for drinks with friends only to be disappointed. Not by the venue itself, that's superb. What was once the popular La Med in Clifton is now the newly renovated Bungalow Restaurant and Lounge. Same place, same views and same vibe, except at The Bungalow this weekend I was treated with unsatisfactory service.

It isn't even Summer yet, the place wasn't even full, and I waited 10 minutes at the bar for two beers and a mojito. Our friends who were waiting at a table for us had had a similar experience, on ordering two bottles of Rose they were not served in ice buckets but rather placed on the table in the late afternoon sun. Now I'm not a particularly fussy person, but I do hate bad service and I am not afraid to say so. However at a spot like The Bungalow you expect good service, its a classy joint and for a place like good service isn't just the cherry on top, its the second foundation layer just on top of the view. I've been known to vocalize my feelings in a restaurant but The Bungalow on a chilled Sunday evening just isn't the right spot, especially when you're comfortably seated with the sea right in front of you. So here it is, my written complaint about the service at The Bungalow. Please guys, sort yourselves out before Summer really is here, because the crowds are only going to grow down on that prime real estate you've got there.

If not now, then when?

Recently whenever I feel like I don't want to do something, or I'm tired and not in the mood, I have to remind myself that I'm young, yes, YOUNG! And whilst I am still young I need to start acting like it. This year has caused me to, or at least I've let it, take me about 10 steps backwards on the progress I made last year. So with Rocking the Daisies around the corner, I leave tomorrow, if not now, then when!?

I finally got my hands on her. After much deliberation I decided to go with it and get myself an iPad. I can't put her down, she's like this real lovable character and every App I add she just gets better!

Watch this space...

In the next few weeks we're going to release the band line-up for Up The Creek Music Festival. The confirmation emails have been sent out and post Daisies we'll start releasing the official line-up for 2013 so...watch this space! Or actually watch the official website because that's where it will be posted mid-October.
