Another Virgin Review

Fri 19th: We were supposed to go to Pacha but our flight was delayed and we ended up just getting some beers and chilling at our house in Playa del Bassa.
It took approximatly 1 hour for our first noise complaint and with the music not even being played too loud, we were already doubting we would last the week.

Sat: We spent most of the day chilling at the beach drinking beers and then tried getting a taxi to the West End. We soon figured out that this was just about impossible so we decided to settle for Bora Bora. It hadn't occured to me that there would be no way in hell I could handle a litre bottle of Vodka but I tried my damndest anyway and my last memory is sleeping in a chair at some cafe and some Spanish girls lifting me up and taking me along with them like some drunken Irish souvenir. I think I ended up in a playground somehow until I was informed the next day that I fell through the door of our apartment at some uneartly hour and slept on the floor.

Sun: I woke up drunk and decided more drink was in order so I promptly got another bottle of Vodka and apparantly not having learned my lesson decided to spend a day at Bora Bora. DJ Gee had me buzzing with his particular style of House until the combination of Vodka and tiredness had me sleeping soundly in the sunchair grasping the bottle of Vodka. I eventually woke up to a splash of vodka in the face by some Italians having a laugh at my expense. Some staff member without a word of English then tried getting me to go down to the sea presumably to sober up. My pleas that I was barely fit to walk let alone swim fell on deaf ears so we eventually left Bora Bora where my friends told me I fell asleep in front of the pavement on the hotel. I somehow got myself up, stumbled to the apartment and fell asleep.
I was awoke a few hours later to be informed that we were about to go to Space. I was in no fit shape to go but Sunday at Space was not to be missed and I somewhow gathered myself together to go. I had a good night but was unfortunatly not able to move and had to be content with the Chillout Room or the seats outside the Terrace for most of the night. There were no beds available in our apartment so I had to stay up the whole night into the next day which would guarantee a massive downer the next day.

Mon: Today was a some downer and I spent most of it recovering in the house. We decided to go to Cafe Del Mar but unfortunalty missed the sunset and had to be content to drink a few cans on the beach. We were about to get a taxi when in the distance I spotted the madness that was the West End. I ventured up the street only to be confronted by a sea of madness. This was not conductive to the state I was in with seemingly every person on the street shouting in my face about some offer or another. My state of mind was struggling to cope with this madness so I eventually got a taxi home.

Tue: We spent most of the day swimming and then hit Cafe Mambo again. We got drunk of course and then we split up with some of us venturing to that street of madness and the rest of us heading for Carl Cox at Space. A brilliant night and despite my inebriated state somehow manged to outlast my friends and stay the full time till 20 to 8.

Wed: We had illadvisedly decided to go on a Booze Cruise today and since we had to meet the bus at half 11, there was once again no point going to bed. One of the worst ideas ever, the booze cruise turned out to be a pile of lies. Belly Flop competitions and watered down sangrias were not really up our alleyway. It was so bad that we made our own way home from the island they had taken us to rather than wait for that disaster to end.
The only option after suffering such a setback was to get extremly drunk and I obliged ending up once again outside Bora Bora. I then took a mad notion to go see Timo Mass at DC10 but once again couldn't participate fully due to my intoxicated state. It was still good though.

Thu: Our last day, and we decided to spend most of it in San Antonio. I finally got to see the sunset at Mambo and was informed it was one of the best in ages. I of course ended up getting very drunk as did one of the crew who ended up running around Del Mar roaring in people's faces until he collapsed in the rocks.
We got the bus to Space against my wishes as I felt Cream at Amnesia was due a visit but anyway, ended up having a good night despite Sasha being cancelled. I was of course very drunk and may not have made it back to Ireland were it not for the kindness of a British couple brought up in Hong Kong who minded me for most of the night. What prompted them to devote part of their night to helping a drunken Irish man in awful shape, I don't know but its the kind of caring attitude that could only happen in Ibiza.
I somehow was let back onto our plane at 8 O clock the next day a chaged man.

See you next year...
 
Clubbing review?!!

Surely boozing review is more like it?!

Were you not that fussed about the music on offer?
 
Rowley Birkin QC

Sozzled, rambling old barrister, Rowley Birkin QC, sits in his chair and spins yarns of foreign adventures, mysterious women and exotic beasts, attended only by his equally ancient butler.

During his nonsensical mutterings you can make out the occasional phrase - 'took it off below the knee'... 'a rather striking mustache'... 'SNAKE, SNAKE!'... 'ending up once again outside Bora Bora'... 'Her husband had been entombed in ice. Like this.'... and of course, 'I'm afraid that I was very, very drunk'.

Rowley was based on a man, named Wingless Wonder, who Paul Whitehouse met on a fishing trip to Ireland. :rolleyes:
 
I was surely interested in the music but most of the crew I was with had little money and I continously had to hand out loans. They didn't come out with anywhere near the amonut of money needed to survive a week in Ibiza.
I was a wie bit reluctant to venture out to the clubs on my own but in retrospect, that wouldn't have been a problem as I spent most of my nights in clubs wandering around on my own anyway.
Next year though, I will know the score just that little bit better.
Just wondering, how many nights would most of you whether holidaying for 1 week or 2 weeks go to the major clubs?
 
I'm flying out tomorrow for 2 weeks and intend to go out basically every night, although i may drop Saturdays in order to enjoy WLS/DC10 to the limit.

It seems to me that most of ppls spending goes on drink, esp in the big clubs, and i'm hoping that my not drinking but doing other, um, stuff ;) will work out abit cheaper!!

Soon find out eh?!
 
I'm going out in a few weeks time. There's something I want to go to almost every night (except Wednesday) - but I have no idea just how many nights I'll actually make. There is a limit to human endurance! When I went last year I went out every night - but I only went for 4 days - and this year I'm going for 10!!

It seems to me that most of ppls spending goes on drink, esp in the big clubs, and i'm hoping that my not drinking but doing other, um, stuff will work out abit cheaper!!

By the way, I know this will not be a popular view and it pains me to say it but I totally understand why the clubs charge as much as they do for drinks. Most establishments make most of their money from the bar and with so many people opting for "other stuff" they need to get the vast sheds of money required to pay people like Cox or Tenaglia somehow!

you´ll spend lots on water, though.
and at 6-8 euros the bottle that works out to quite something, too... believe me

Looks like they are going to rape you either way... :confused:
 
it certainly isnt cheaper to do other 'stuff' water prices are ridiculous over there. after taking some dodgy other 'stuff' in cream this year and nearly spending 100 euros on water due to the fact i was dehydrating a lot quicker than usual and feeling not like your suposed to :eek: it certainly wasnt cheaper than drinking! :(
 
Can you not buy bottles of water and fill them up from taps.... like in london clubs.... or is the spanish water rank????
 
You can't drink the tap water and there is no chance of taking water from the taps as there are too many attendants at the toilets watching.
I wasn't sure if "other things" were to be discussed on this board as I didn't see them mentioned elsewhere but you can be assured that my various states of drunkeness mentioned above were not aided by those "other things".
At 1 stage, it looked like I might be going home with a lot more money that I had planned but going far too wild on the Thursday ensured I spent some ridicoulous amount of money on the bad 1/4 ltr. bottles on sale for €6.
 
Last year at Amnesia I had refilled the 3dc water bottle at toilet 2 or 3 times and no one minded, I figured if all the alcohol didn't kill me, some water won't either :lol:
Paying 8 euro once was enough and I wasn't gonna do it again.
It was funny when people stopped me and asked me for a sip as if it was real water :lol: But anyway, it was all ok.
