Newcastle Bars – Is This What It Has Come To?

Posted by Michael on Saturday 14th January, 2012

Hey blog,

So yesterday we went out in Newcastle; Friday night, in Newcastle, go to bars and it’s a good night. It is January, and the middle of the month, and a Friday (as opposed to a Saturday night) and over the past few years the bars have got quieter on a Friday night in the middle of the month. Last night the “trendy” bars were dead! We went to Baby Lynch at around 9pm and had the entire bar to ourselves. When we left at around 9:30 there were only another 2 groups of people in there. We then went to Ohso, and there was us and 1 other group! By the time we left there around 10pm  were 4 or 5 other groups of people, so still dead. It looked like the same story for Perdu, we walked past (no queue) and I had a quick look in and it looked pretty empty too. The Diamond Strip bars were all quiet, apart from Revolution which looked quite busy, but that always is.
It is strange to see “the cool bars” being so empty, but walking past places like The Bee Hive being really full, we went to Popolo, Baccus and Hoochie Coochie too which were as busy as they usually are on a Friday night. It is sort of sad to see the bars being so quiet, it’s really weird that you can go 1 week and be the only one in the bar and go back the next and have to queue to get in. Ohso was actually cool when it was quite empty, DJ playing good music and in a nice warm bar with more or less nobody else, it was like my own exclusive place :D

This is what I wore last night:

  • Barbour Jacket
  • Gant Knit
  • Jaeger Shirt
  • True Religion Jeans

3 layers last night, it was freezing! :mrgreen: Literally, it was -2. I remember in my youth years ago I would go out with only a short sleeve shirt on, those were the days ;)

 

Weekend Part 2 – Saturday Night, Newcastle

Posted by Michael on Sunday 8th January, 2012

Hello blog!

So last night we went out again, 2 nights running in Newcastle drinking alcohol, it was pure vintage :mrgreen: I did not feel too bad from the Friday night, and was fine last night too…Doing 2 nights in a row is not something I do too often, and not for a long time anyway; It seems crazy to think that years ago I used to do it a fair bit, and when I was in Mallorca I was out more or less every night for the entire summer :D Those nights seem so far away now :P

Here is what I wore:

  • Gant knit
  • Jaeger shirt
  • Prada Jeans
  • Versace Watch

So last night we went to a few different bars from Friday, drank in a different area, we went to the central station area or if you are “down with the kids” the Diamond strip, and most the bars around there were quiet. We went to Milecastle, Revolution, Baby Lynch, Baccus, Babylon and Al Vino…Babylon again, hahaha!? Some of the bar staff were the same as Friday night, they must of been thinking “They’re fucking alcoholics!” :mrgreen: All in all it was a good night.

 

Last Night Out In Newcastle & MUST Read Blogs!

Posted by Michael on Saturday 7th January, 2012

Hello blog!

So last night we went out in Newcastle and it was a good night. Went to a few places including Babylon aka the 90s bar and listened to some old skool pop songs which was good :D I drank 2 orange Bacardi Breezers too, only £1.95 each, what a bargain :D It was like being a kid again lol. Went to several other places in and around The Gate; Bannatyne, Beyond, Opera, Players, and Sam Jacks. It was not like a few weeks ago, this night I remember, and I did not update my Twitter with dodgy random tweets :D

What I wore last night:

  • Hugo Boss knit
  • He by Mango Shirt
  • Dolce And Gabbana Jeans
  • Versace Watch

I am still quite tired after my night out :P I have a “second wind” the day after, and feel full of lfe for an hour or so, but then my tiredness kicks in, which it has just done :P

I MUST catch up on reading blogs! I have not read any for a few days because I have been busy, I feel like I am out of the loop! :P When I am busy I think to myself “I will read them later” but then i’m always busy with something else. I will catch up today and then over the rest of the weekend too.

It is also FA Cup weekend, Newcastle vs Blackburn and some other great games today too, with Man U vs Man City tomorrow. Tonight is the return of the best show, Take Me Out Series 3 starts tonight, it’s gonna be great hopefully! :P

 

Last Night, Out In Newcastle, Don’t Remember Much!

Posted by Michael on Thursday 29th December, 2011

Hello blog!

I am still here, barely! Last night I was out in Newcastle, and I don’t remember very much of the night! The only things I can remember are a few of the bars, but I don’t really remember where I ended up, and I think I went home early although it wsan’t that early. I remember something about a girl in Subway, nothing else, just that there was a “girl”, I don’t remember anything about it. Speaking of Subway, when I woke up this morning I discovered that I actually did not eat the Subway I got, since it was on the floor! :mrgreen:

I remember having a dirty woo woo in Indigo, and having Absolut Chambulls in Revolution too, not a wonder why I spent so much and don’t remember much.

I know I went to Floritas, because I have a photo of it…

 

I also found a tweet I posted on Twitter, around midnight/1AM which just reads, “HELP!!!” haha, what the hell…?!

Earlier in the day we went to play some pool and snooker, which was good. I had not played snooker for years, I used to really love it but the usual place I went to closed down. I won at both snooker and pool, so I was happy :mrgreen:

I felt like I was living in The Hangover film this morning, could not remember a thing, which is unusual for me :D

Thursday 3rd November 2011

Hello blog :)

So today I have done a little bit of work, but not too much, as I was out last night and got back late (or early this morning). We went to a few bars and then ended up in Tiger Tiger. It was quite funny, one bar we went to had around 20 people in, ALL men! What  a disgrace LOL! We went to Tiger and the bouncer told us “I am warning you, it’s only students tonight, I will let you in but it’s only students” hahaha WTF?!?! It’s not exactly the worst thing in the world, 18-21yr old girls, “oh no how terrible!” ;) They actually were rude, barging through people, not a wonder there are fights LOL. We had jelly shots which were nice, haha ;)

Today I got some more stuff, the rest of my CDs and a blu ray, Bad Teacher.

 

The old Example album, a classic album, The Fugees “The Score” and my new favourite French Rapper, Soprano. I will make a blog post about him soon, I just discovered him and he is amazing! :P I got Bad Teacher on Blu Ray too, and plenty more blu rays to come, there are so many good films I wanna buy which are coming out soon.

So tonight I am definitely just going to chill out, I have went and bought some chocolate so might watch Bad Teacher or maybe something else. I am so tired though :P I have to keep myself awake so I can get to sleep tonight otherwise I will be wrecked tomorrow :D

 

Fucking Awesome Night

Posted by Michael on Sunday 30th October, 2011

Hello blog!

Wow I did not blog yesterday! It feels weird not blogging for a day, I think it is the first day I have missed for quite some time. Anyway, nothing good to write about yesterday, I did nothing in the day, but I did go out which was really fun!

It was a great night! We went to a few bars, many which I haven’t been in for ages which made the night. I love the bars I usually go to, but it gets boring going to the same bars all the times, having the same old “route”. Last night we went down the Quayside, and went to places like Bar 38, Quilted Camel, Mimo, Baby Lynch and Mood. I seemed to drink like a fish, and felt quite drunk, again ;) There were so many people dressed up for Halloween, which was quite cool.

This is what I wore:

  • Junk De Luxe Knit
  • True Religion Jeans
  • Base Shoes
  • H&M Jacket
  • D&G Watch

I love these black jeans from True Religion, they are the new ones which I got recently. They look super smart with the jacket, and are really comfortable and soft.

This morning I woke up at 7AM, even if the clocks did go back! The usual story, morning after Redbull that is what happens. It was fine, because I was going to get up for the F1 anyway, which I watched, and Vettel won, what a surprise! :P

For the rest of today I have just chilled out, and watched the entire Season 8 of Entourage, nice hangover TV ;) I love it, I am still sad that it is all over, haha :(

 

Fucking Awesome Night!!! :mrgreen:

Hey blog :)

So, today I got up at 6AM and watched the F1, it was quite good, even if I was tired watching it, LOL :D I have had a sleep after that, and I have watched The Big Bang Theory on DVD all day, I have almost finished season 1 already :P

So last night I went out in Newcastle, which was good. I was so tired though, I am like an old man these days haha :P We went to places like Popolo, North, Alvino,  Tokyo and Baccus, all were cool as usual :) I drank a combination of beer, Sex On The Beach and Vanilla Vodka and Coke.

  • Jaeger Knit
  • Prada Jeans
  • D&G Watch
  • Base London Shoes
  • Ted Baker Belt

So for the rest of tonight I will watch more Big Bang, and have something to eat, I am quite hungry now actually ;)

 

Sunday 21st August – The Day After

Posted by Michael on Sunday 21st August, 2011

Hey blog!

How was Saturday night for everyone? So, I was out in Newcastle, and it was a great night :) It must of been better than I thought, because I checked my camera, and I have photos of girls on there……I DONT remember taking these at all, and only found them by looking just now :mrgreen: I love it when stuff like that happens, live the night through text messages and photos, we live life like The Hangover movie :P

We went to many places, Union Rooms, Revolution, Mimo, Perdu, Indigo and Tiger Tiger until 3AM. Then got chicken kebab on the way home like a drunk, most of which went into the bin :D

There was a dance off in Tiger Tiger, which was cool! I managed to take some pics, the quality is shit :(

 

dirty, dirty dancer ;)

So, my camera has a dial on it so you can change modes, so you can have iA, EASY, program, manual etc. lots of settings. Unfortunately I did not check the setting, and it was on full manual, which means the shots I took were shit! So all of the photos I had taken were terrible :( That is the bad thing about having the camera in my jean pocket, the dial can get moved and if I dont check then it could be bad.

Here is what I wore last night…

  • Dolce And Gabbana T Shirt
  • D&G Watch
  • True Religion Jeans

I got so many people telling me they loved my t-shirt :P I do too, it is cool ;) It has a Minnie Mouse silhouette on the back too.

Last Night In Newcastle “Its Not That Kind Of Night”

Posted by Michael on Sunday 3rd April, 2011

Hey blog!

How has your weekend been? Mine was good, but Sunday has passed me by! I got in around 3:30am, thats 2 weeks running I have got home after 3am, i’m too old for this shit hahaha!

Last night was good, we went to some bars I havent been to or havent been in ages, like Cosey Joes, god that place was bad!! We ended up not having a drink there and walking out. I dont think it was actually that bad, but I thought it was a cool trendy bar, but it was a bar with 60s/70s/80s music and full of old people. I was just misinformed about that place :P

Also went to The Lodge. I dont think I have been there in about 4 years, I dont dislike it, but it always used to take forever to get served so never went. Revolution was also good, we got an Absolut Chambulls   ;) How can vodka, Redbull and champagne taste so good? :D

We ended up in Baby Lynch which is open till 3am. They did not even play Craig David :( I think my friend asked the DJ, he asked him something, I heard the DJ saying “Its not that kind of night” haha WTF!? What kind of night was it without Craig David?! :mrgreen: Besides, he played DJ Jurgen presents Alice Deejay “Better Off Alone”, first time I think I have ever heard that in a bar in Newcastle.

On the way home I got some kebab meat and chips and it was the greasiest kebab ever! Its real drunk peoples food. I havent had kebab meat for such a long time and I probably wont again :P SubWay was closed so couldnt go there :(

Here is what I wore last night:

  • Dolce And Gabbana Cardigan (again!!!)
  • Alexander McQueen T Shirt
  • True Religion Jeans
  • D&G Watch
  • Ted Baker Belt
  • Aussiebum Boxers

Here are some pics of the night. I have one of my friend wearing a masquerade mask but he may kill me if I put that up :D

Yes you are probably thinking they are shopping trollys, and you would be right. Why would you wanna make a piece of art out of shopping trollys?

This is the mirror in Revolution above the bar, I am now calling it the “pervert mirror”. Its angled so if you look up it shows you what is directly down. We all know about it, yes you can see down girls tops all the time if you look up at the mirror ;)

This is taken from upstairs in The Lodge where we were, looking down. It must of been a great view because people kept wanting to look over from where we were.

By the way, After 5 minutes of looking over I realised something…Do you see in the pic? Check out how many men there are in here compared to women! :O :( So wrong!! :mrgreen:

Better Off Alone :D Song of the night, reminds me of living in my old house and school, I think it was around the year 2000.

27th March 2011 – Last Night In Newcastle

Posted by Michael on Sunday 27th March, 2011

Hello lovely blog readers :)

Have you had a good weekend? I have :)

Last night I went out in Newcastle, and I had a really good night. The music was so good, really really good in fact, which seemed to make the night for me. We went to Popolo, Union Rooms, Destination, Baby Lynch and went clubbing at WHQ. WHQ is the place I hate the most in Newcastle, I went a few years ago and hadn’t been back since until last night. It was actually really good!! :D The music was so good, the highlight was Craig David “Fill Me In” and I was loving it singing at the top of my voice LOLOLOL! Never heard that song in years! :P I seemed to know every word of the song hahaha :mrgreen: Takes me back to my college days

Here is what I wore last night….

My wristband….

Nice! ;)
