Sunday - Sundays at Space
Monday - Manumission @ Privilege
Tuesday - Gods Kitchen @ Amnesia
Wednesday - West End, and one 70's/80's club
Thursday - Cream @ Amnesia

Best Night: VERY hard, Music at Es Paradis and Manumission and Cream were the best, Best atmosphere was at Space, Best club inside was Pacha

Worst Night: Tail end of Space as I'd over indulged, had no sleep in 3 days, also Gods Kitchen @ Amnesia - too hard core music

Best Bar: Bar M (sad I know, but the lads wouldn't explore any others)
Best Place to Eat: Restaurant at Bol Nou beach, fresh pineapple - YUM
Money Spent: £1000 Irish pounds - €1270 (this year I've only €1000 and still the holiday to pay for ....ooops

Biggest Regret: not seeing more of the Island as we had hired an open top jeep for the week, lads weren't up for it. I really wanted to go to the Hippy Market....

Going Back?: 16th to 23rd August 2002.......10 days to go (did I mention that already?)

Top Tip: Hire an open top jeep and explore the island
Another Top Tip: Pace yourself, and deal people based in a bar not the jewellers on the street
Last Top Tip: Speak to as many people as possible and learn a bit of Spanish - say THANK YOU and PLEASE in Spanish and see the difference...

Hey Bartonius,

Just noticed yer fae Dundee...that's whaur eh wis brought up....
27 years eh stayed in Menie Hill....an awis mind gain in tae the bakers up the hilltoon an asking "can a hae two peh's a plein ain an an ining ain an a"

God I miss the Dundonian dialect.....

So where ye fae in Dundee.....?
I've still family in Menzieshill (Yarrow Tce) and Gowrie Park (Rosehall Gardens). I haven't been back to Dundee since March...not popular with the mither and faither at a.

Is there a clubbing scene in Dundee? Never was (although I wouldn't have been into the whole scene then) when I was grwoing up.
It was Coconut Grove, De Stilths, and Fat Sams....memories....

So are you an Arab or a Blue Nose?/?

Steve
 
Aright mate, I'm a Ferry boy as it happens, although my mum was brought up in Menzieshill!

The club scene is f***ing shit. There was this new club called Circus that was hyped up loads as being "Scotland's first superclub" and they promised to have great line-ups and everything. It was all shite, so much lies and fake line-ups, they have been disappointment after disappointment. The biggest DJ they have had is Dave Pearce. Says it all really. And now ex-Mardi Gras manager Pat Mulligan is the new manager and is turning it into another Mardi!!! :x Just what Dundee needs...

There was a great club at Dundee Union called Do This Do That that brought: Seb Fontaine, Sander Kleinenberg, Darren Emerson, Layo & Bushwacka!, Futureshock, Steve Lawler, Jon Carter, Lee Burridge, Yousef and more to Dundee. But that night grew too big and moved to Edinburgh in July. :cry:

The best we have in Dundee now is Glam @ Rattery's with Glam resident The Shy Brother. Not been to it yet but it's meant to be alrightish. Fatty's recently got refurbished, but after a promising re-opening it's turned into a cheesefest. There is also my mate's night at Oxygen, Rome: the music starts off housey and builds up to deep progressive and tech house. It's restarting in October cos it's mainly aimed at students. They have only put on 2 nights to date, but both nights I had a great time so I'm gonna go back, and not just cos I'm mates with the DJ's.

For proper full on clubbing, I usually go to The Ice Factory in Perth for The Rhumba. Had some amazing nights there. I'm off to The Ice Factory this Saturday actually to see Paul Van Dyk. Should be a quality night. It's gonna be packed cos it's only £10.

Oh, and I'm an Arab. Dundee signing Gazza!?! What's that all about!?! :lol:

Oops, I never noticed that! :oops: Gods was f***ing shit hot at Amnesia last year, not quite as good at Eden this year (Amnesia is a better club) but it is pretty good. If you're going, just avoid Fergie who is playing some wierd music like, it's shite.

Oh, and I find my memory of nights in the clubs rather sketchy too, I can't hardly rememeber any of the tunes played at all this year! :eek: :rolleyes:

As to the club nights your thinking of going to, pretty solid, Friday is a tough choice. I really enjoyed Ministry, I was in the Global room for ages and it was amazing! Monday: what about Cocoon (voted best night on the island last year) and Release Yourself with Roger Sanchez (apparently the atmosphere has been through the roof at this night!). I went to Four::Four @ El Divino on a Monday and Dave Seaman was really fantastic, it was quite quiet. Had a great night though!
 
Proud to be an Arab, proud to be an Arab clap your hands....

It's good to hear you come from the right side.....!!! God I miss those games every Saturday, home and away, it was just brilliant. Of course that's when we could play football..... :lol:

Now talk about spooky, my Mum was born in the Ferry, Ambrose Street, but has lived in Menzieshill for around 35 years now...same holuse as well.
:confused:

I'm glad to hear I didn't miss out too much in Dundee then, I was wondering.

It is always going to be tough choosing the right night, you never know until afterwards, and people's tastes vary so much, still with the influence of substances, you sometimes can't tell a good night from a bad night, the usual line after coming out of a club, high as a kite "That was the best night EVER !" :rolleyes:

My wee bro has never been to Manumission, I was actually going to go to Cocoon this year. I was at Manumission last year, I mean the place is amazing, a bit TOO big really, the DJ (no idea who he was) was not bad, and when he did a few 80's tunes mixed, it was unreal - when he did Sweet Dreams, it was at that time of the night where you needed a wee lift, and the place went absolutely mad.....but there's too many beer boys and tourists go to gawk at people off their faces and dancing, it's almost like being an animal in a zoo....saying that I love dancing on stage (not that I'm any good - as I'm most definately NOT), so I had to have my wee stint on a couple of the podiums, the view you get from there is unreal....it definately makes a difference, try it even once....in any club..
and you'll see what I mean...

Anyway I'm prattling on now, thanks for the advice....I'll put a review up when I'm back and try and keep a better diary this time...(I won a CD from Spotlight for my efforts - Cheers Spotlight !!!...still love listening to that CD)....

Come on ye ARABS !!!!!
And if you lose yourself at Tannidice next week...
Just walk towards the sounds of EASY, EASY.....

Steve (an Arab for 33 years now!!!!)
 
I've recently been introduced to Berocca, for just daily use and I know it DEFINATLEY has an effect....so there's a nother side to it then,...
Take it before going clubbing...execellent idea....

And again the next day to save you being knackered....There will one pack of Berocca in my suitcase thsi summer...

For any of you looking for it, it comes in a mostly Green box, with orange lines. You get 20 effervescent tables (10 in each tube), costs about €8 in Dublin. Plunk one a small glass of water, let it fizz out and disolve, then drink, it has kind of an orangy and tangy taste (I've tasted worse).....

We should be asking for sponsorship from Berocca, they'd make a packet in Ibiza...

Heh too true! Although I went to the Dave Seaman night almost totally sober and thought it was amazin! I think it was the combination of it feeling more underground because it wasn't that busy, the Asian TV crew who were completely off their tits, being at El Divino and the incredible tunes that Dave Seaman was playing. It was wierd though because it almost felt like I was on pills just cos everyone else was and I had to try and keep up, and I did! Monday is a very tough night to call though.

My wee bro has never been to Manumission, I was actually going to go to Cocoon this year. I was at Manumission last year, I mean the place is amazing, a bit TOO big really, the DJ (no idea who he was) was not bad, and when he did a few 80's tunes mixed, it was unreal - when he did Sweet Dreams, it was at that time of the night where you needed a wee lift, and the place went absolutely mad.....but there's too many beer boys and tourists go to gawk at people off their faces and dancing, it's almost like being an animal in a zoo....saying that I love dancing on stage (not that I'm any good - as I'm most definately NOT), so I had to have my wee stint on a couple of the podiums, the view you get from there is unreal....it definately makes a difference, try it even once....in any club..

I went to Manumission last year drunk, but I couldn't afford to buy any more drink so I sobered up, but then we met these American VIP guys who were on TV or something and they were smoking doobs in the sort of forest garden outside bit upstairs, so I ended up getting stoned and dancing that way! I'd be up for goin on the podium though, gotta try that next year cos I'm hoping to stay for at least a month, so then I can go to all 4 of the Monday night clubs!

CD??? I want a CD, I took ages writing my review! :cry: :cry: :cry:

Oh yeah, and there is another Arab on this message board: moderator JonnyDP! :D
 
Another Arab !!!!

I'll have to email him, us Arabs should stick together, the days of 12,000 home support are one, or 25,000 at the Barcelona game....

Anyway, fair points you've made there, I have to be unselfish and think of the bro and I know he'd be blown away by Manumission, so I'll just have to save Cocoon for if I ever get back.
