Bar Crawl Version 2

As steve so kindly gave me the option to offer my alternative view on the events of the evening, i accepted this chance to conceal some of the flaws uncovered by steve.

We were all up for having a meal, and this was in no way instigated by me. I must admit that paella and sangria did sound more attractive than a drunken pub crawl that was bound to be full of sweat and testosterone. I accepted the scousers offer and set myself up for a big loud night on the town.

Steves account of the drinking was pretty accurate, and there was severe lack of women there, which bothered steve grealty as his chances of getting lucky were reduced more than he had hoped. I was quite glad there were fewer women than men, means it wasnt difficult to resist the temptation of grabbing some bottoms and eyeing girls up. Instead I spent the evening making noise and singing with a few other english blokes.

We met a couple of prime penises on the way. A bloke from Finland who looked 15 and was wearing an england hat pretending to be a vandal, which in his mind made him british. We also got 2 Spanish fags stealing 2 euros from graham. As soon as we revealed some british agression they fled. We then later saw them dancing with each other in the club, and taking in mind they were over 40, we felt very sorry for the sad cocks and let them be.

After 2 years of my friendship with steven being marred by his constant desire to go “clubbing”, we finally got there. It wasnt your average club, it was upmarket Barcelona club, so even someone like myself who isnt a huge clubbing fan thought it would be a laugh.

Contrary to many peoples expectations, Graham, Max and myself had a pretty amazing time, generally making fools out of ourselves on the podium and dancing like girls. I was trying hard to dance as normally as possible, but it didnt really work I was told! Steve on the other hand, who was so enthusiastic about cool cool clubbing, never stepped on the podium, and rarely moved more than a couple of inches. He seemed to be trying to grab a girl that mike had already bagged. You must humour poor stevie, he tries so hard to impress, we musnt put him down.

After the pub crawl had ended we took a 40 minute stroll up Rambla to our hostel, it seemed like 10 minutes, but we felt it in our calves the next morning I tell you.

Tonight we shall be having a quiet night, and not wholly on my recommendation. Were going to try and spend as little as possible in the snooker bar, not easy when a glass of beer is 5 euros!

Bar Crawl

1st full night in Barcelona, after sorting out Graham’s wallet we hit the town. Matko’s idea of a good night is 2L of Sangria and a 3 course meal with his girlfriend followed by an early night of passion. With his girlfriend absent we were dragged to fill the void. I’m always up for a nice meal but not an early night, this is supposed to be a lads holiday.

Thankfully a scouser named John recruited us on a bar crawl before Matko’s plan could be put into action. Now i wouldn’t trust a scouser as far as i could throw him but anything seemed better than a nice evening meal with Matko.

The flyer promised 5 locations in 7 hours. It delivered. The night started off quite slow with a shot of something green, half a pint and then progressed to a heavy metal bar. This didn’t live up to its literal name, although was fun. Met a scottish bloke who seemed like a laugh and bought us a beer for the pleasure of our company.


Next we met up with some Londoners and a guy from Oxford, sung swing low and Jerusulum before being told to shut up. We were now at an Irish bar, surprising amount of these in Barcelona. Scottish bloke got with an Irish girl. Me and Mike chatted up some Northerners, i as usual, was drunk and being rather rude to them. Pointing out why Southerners hate the north, she did ask after all.

The clubs were pretty timid, full of old men and girls with big boyfriends. The girls which were our age were swarmed by said old men who got a tad protective over their new found prized possesions. Young girls, being young girls obviously lapped up the attention and the fun factor of being fought over.

Tonight Matko plans to drag us back to a restuarant and have an early night. We’ll see.
