Ooh and what a lovely tan we got from the wind-swept place that is Butlins, Bognor-Regis.
It. Was. Cold.
So, how was I hear you all ask with baited breath? It was ok. The food was your typical mass produced, re-heated stuff. The "entertainment" was cringeworthy apart from one stand up comedy guy who was ok and did a pretty good Elvis impression.
The room was pretty shabby. A bed, a toilet and a shower in a room so badly ventilated that we still had condensation from our first wash when we left today. I did manage to flood the bathroom pretty well using the sink, but I wont go into that any more.
The arcades were really quite poor. Most of the machines didn't work, just took your money and then pretty much laughed at you.
I won £15 at Bingo and CandyFloss won £7.
The one "club", known as Jaks was ok if a little quiet. The real highlight of that place was this one bloke dressed in his pulling clobber.

Yes, that is a nice green sweater, thick black rimmed glasses AND a bum-bag.
So yeah, it was ok, too many irritating people who don't look where they're going and can't control their spawn of Satan offspring, but otherwise 4 days of cheep fun.
Looks like the election we missed was another bit of a no-show?
Good to see lots of people getting votes though rahter then just two front-runners.
Thanks Tim, CDouch and Lindgren.

I'm no longer popular since I lost my uniform, but you still love me Tim. It means a lot.

It was nicely quiet for the last week...
I have the impression of an empty, run down place which makes me sad.
I loved the Wizzy Kids people... as well as the 10p horse racing things in the arcade and the bright blue cocktails.

Oh yes, drunked pikey parents are interesting too. This one bloke decided to tell me all about how there was some nice "kitty" at the bar and how if he were there alone he'd be right in there. His wife of 10-years was sitting right next to him showing Lori pictures of their 4 kids.
I said, "I don't think half of them are even legal" to which he replied "so what, it's no matter!"
...
I liked him a lot...
He then spilt a drink over his foot, rubbed his stubbly face against mine and then went off to the bar for half an hour.

Wooo, Butlins!
That woman on the far right looks as if she was being possessed by a giant, glowing spirit.

You are missing out. Trust me.
He was even better in person.

The kids entertainers this time were just annoying.
While waiting for CandyFloss who was in a line to get our keys I was getting stressed at being asked to move around so this woman could do something to this cart next to me. I was standing with all our stuff when this "entertainer" dressed all in pink came over and said I'd nicked her pillows because they have a little pink on them and therefore they are like her costume...I told her that they were much nicer then her horrid costume to which she feigned crying and another person dressed all in purple came over to comfort her. There weren't even any kids about!
