Thought i'd better let you all know work going on at the bar next to the Codfather and shriek, horror it's going to be an Aussie Bar called " Australian Boulevard ". If that's not bad enough they've screwed giant cut off replica cans of Fosters above the door way. Tasteful very , very tasteful !!!

Not only do the b******s humilate us at our national game ( Not an invitation to you Scots, Welsh or Irish to gloat ) but they are moving into our territory now !!!!!

" Boulevard" , are they having a larf ? Been down under to Oz a couple of times and hardly saw a road let alone a " Boulevard".

I call upon all you true Englishman to avenge Sir Don's trip to the hallowed turves of England in 1930 and vote with your feet !!!!

Re:Kiss me Sparky

Any time Bonyslad, don't know if Mr Sparky would approve though, LOL. Did anyone ever tell you that you are a natural comedian, your posts always bring a smile to our faces. We will be in PP 3rd May for 2 weeks maybe we could all meet for a drink if you are there. Take care.

Aussie Bar nearly finished, thought this would have caused more furore but perhaps you think I'm kidding ( apart from Sparky & Linzzz ?

Sea Captain,

If you are not out on the briney, me Hearty !!! Post a picture for the good folk at home.

Trained a couple of local mutts roaming the square to cock their legs on the Sydney Cricket Club sign on it's front !!!!!

Sparky,

May 3rd ? Might co-incide with the visit of the badly behaved babes. ( sincerely hope they do badly behave , could be a tale or two innit !!!!).
Seriously, probably around the week after. Can usually be found , if I'm not out and about spreading happiness to all around me, in Bonys c 6.30/7 ish for imbibing pre dinner. Just ask the staff ( they all know me ) " Has BonysLad been in tonight ? " ( Cool, eh !!!!!!)

Take care

Don't think your kidding BL but being an ostrich and hoping it will go away

 

[Sparky]

It's a date Bonyslad

Hi Bonyslad, we will deffo see you in Bonys one evening. Great idea to train the local mutts to cock a leg, hope they don't do anything else though, we don't want any s*** on our flipflops do we. What's the bets the OZ bar staff will be wearing those daft hats with corks dangling off them. Any ideas what we could do them

I will give my opinion on this new place when i have been in it in August. Give these people a chance just because it does'nt suit all im sure it will a busy place and everyone has a choice.

Australian Boulevard

Well said Rangers 1. Just back from Puerto and made a point of taking a look at this new place on Saturday & far from being an 'eyesore' we thought it looked quite welcoming! The locals certainly seemed to think so as the place was packed each time we passed by. Tasteful cane furniture outside where you can sit & watch the world and his wife go by (and yes, there's even a TV inside at the far end for those of you who don't seem to be able to live without one). The service was quick & friendly. All in all a big improvement I would say and although there doesn't seem to be an Australian in sight never forget that without our good Aussie friends Britain would have been in a sorry state in many a battle!

As Ranger1 rightly said, leave your judgement until you actually see it!

 

[Sparky]

Oh dear!! Bonyslad

Think we are being told off here Bonyslad.. But you can voice an opinion as you have been there and viewed the eyesore.

 

[Lala70w]

You are right Gina and Rangers - we all look for something different don't we?

I must confess I have never set foot in any of these types of places in PP - the Irish Bars, English Bars, Scottish, Welsh and Kazakhstani bars (if there are any! ) so I am not qulaified to judge how good they are or not.

It's just a personal choice but I prefer a nice pre-dinner drink at the Miramar watching the world go by, or a glass of cava at the Illador gazing out accross the bay, or maybe in the Bar Cultural with the colourful locals and lethal measures - and the end of the night? Usually Bony's for the banter and Jose's tricks on the kids.

I like being outside in the fresh air and no amount of giant beer cans or dancing girls will attract me into these places. That's not why I go to PP - if I wanted theme bars I'd be checking out Magalluf.

But as you say each to their own - variety is the spice of life. I just wish that the frontage was a little less obtrusive. I want PP to stay as pretty as it is.

Rangers - look forward to hearing your feedback after your trip - have a great holiday.

Gina.

I'm sorry. Didn't think for a mo that anyone living on this planet would try to forge a tenuous link between my tongue in cheek post on what , I consider to be an eyesore, and an alleged denigration of the great australian support to Britain over the years. Well done !!!!!

Just because I'd rather spend five minutes licking a urinal than drinking a can of Fosters, it don't mean I dislike em in anyway.

Course there ain't any true Aussies around cos it's all part of the Tex Mex Empire and , in my opinion, a cynical commercial ploy to cash in on some current bar fad.

Don't care where anyone spends their Euros, I know where I'll spend mine.

When you see old Mir, ask him what he did in the war ?

I am now closing the post as I feel that we've had enough opinions representing all opinions and I do not want it to deteriorate in the way that previous posts have & I'm sure you all remember those. I do know that a lot of people feel very strongly about these new places but I don't think thee is anything more that can be said in this post.

The new bar is obviously now in place and has been pointed out you can choose where to spend your very expensive Euros.

So come on guys carry on recommending places that you've been to recently & can recommend to others.

Thank You!
