The Wandle - Bars in Earlsfield

From what I can gather The Wandle is the business for bars in Earlsfield. The Wandle is very much an antipodean bar. Is is filled with Aussie, Kiwi and saffa folk and a few other nations thrown in the mix who all seem to mingle without a problem except when the Tri-nations is on or even worse the Rugby World Cup, which to remind you is this year.

The Wandle in the summer is the bar to be at, great outside area where you can chill in the sun, cook your own meat on the braai’s (bbq for not antipodeans) that are prepared for you, play table tennis and have all round good times.

The weekends at the Wandle are good are they have live music playing and believe it or not they are quite good. The two chaps on a Friday are shit hot (that means good) good enough to sing along too and also a bit of a dance.

Saturdays is also a very good day out. The odds are there is some sort of sport on which normally starts at lunch time and then the day/night starts and I can normally say that by the end of the night you are well and truly oiled.

On a whole this is a top bar in Earlsfield. Good job guys now get me a beer... :)

The weekend is upon us. What you doing?

Its lunch time on Friday, you know what that means....Its almost the weekend. I am so looking forward to it. I have had a hard weekend and a big wind down is in order. So tonight I will be having a well earned drink at one of the bars in Earlsfield with a couple of brothers and I do not mean "brothers" like guys from one of the gangs in America, they literally are brothers.

The night will start off slowly as a normal night does but with the intention of pushing the boundaries of mother nature. It could be a long night with the the need of a late opening bar. There are only two to choose...which one will be decided in due course.

Saturday nothing is planned, yet. I nice lie in will be part of the Friday night package. A trip to the gym might be in order, throw some weights around and then all the excess alcohol will be out of my system and will be ready for what Saturday night has in order. I am hoping nothing special so I have a full Sunday to do me stuff.

If you have any exciting ideas for things to do, get in touch...

Celebrating Birthdays is always tough

As my birthday draws closer many feelings are popping up which start to make you think a little about where you are and what you are doing with yourself. I am sure that many of you out there have these same feelings.

I know when you look at the age you are going to be on your birthday your instant though is that you are getting old which in fact is not the case, unless you are in actual fact old. So once that passes you immediately start thinking of how you are going to celebrate your birthday and you conjure up so many plans that will in the end get you absolutely hammered and that is always fun as you get all excited with your friends.

Once you have a plan for what you want to do you start telling people and lets be honest, you go onto Facebook and create an event and then invite you friends to come to the event. The hard part of this is not creating the event but the comments that come after you put the event on to Facebook. You start to see all the people who are not around to celebrate with and have not caught up with in ages. This is not good, you start to feel a little down but it, well I do.

I hope most of you know what the plan is for my birthday. We are going to one of the Bars in Earlsfield, a favourite of mine, The Wandle. Some of you will know and have drunk here. If you need any more info, please get in touch.

So to all of you who are coming I look forward to getting drunk with you and enjoying my birthday.

To all of you who are not coming, I am sorry you can not be there and you had better have a drink for me.. There are many people out there who I would of loved to come and you know who you are...

Cruising around Earlsfield

I keep seeing this car cruising around Earlsfield and this is an awesome car. A classic mustang. A true American car.... I want one.

When they say that cars do not turn girls on that is bollocks. Every time I am standing out side having a smoke, this car comes past the Bars in Earlsfield and the girls all turn and say that is is an awesome car and ask who is driving.

I still have never seen the person that drives this vehicle but who ever you are...nice car

Today I am the road.

Today I am working out of the office. This is new for me as I am normally office based. So laptop in hand and all the information I need to take on the world.

What am I doing I hear you ask. Well I am visiting clients and going through Bullseyehub. Some clients prefer top see you rather than discuss over the phone and to be honest it is a high closing rate to see them face to face.

Today I have arranged 3 visits and 3 completely different venues. The first is Yates in Leicester Square. The second is known for being a rock venue with a very strong comedy vibe as well, so that could be a good account. The third is a venue with something on every night, and the events range from 2-4-1 specials to live music.

I will come back and let you know what the feedback is.

Scabenga: Bars in Earlsfield

If you are looking for a guide to all the Bars in Earlsfield then keep posted. I will be reviewing them on by one and giving you a full breakdown of the good, the bad and the just do not enter Bars in the Earlsfield area.

From what I can see there is 14 bars that need to be reviewed and discussed by me, for the greater good of all people entering this fine part of London. I will admit that I have not been in all of the bars, the reasons for this can vary. Some of the bars just do not have the wow factor, some are boring, some are just nasty and I would not recommend them to the guy who almost hit me with his car the other day.

Just to let you know I will not be making up reviews about the bars that I visit in Earlsfield, if I have been there you will hear about what my initial thoughts were and what I felt. If I have not been there I will give you my opinion of the bar from outside impression and information that I have received my friends and other punters.

A little goal for me....

I have noticed that my blogs are coming up very high in search results, which is very good. So what my plan is to get my blog "Scabenga" on the first page of Google for the search term Bars in Earlsfield. Now why am I choosing this specific search term, just cause I can.

This is the current search results for Bars in London : http://www.google.co.uk/search?aq=f&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=bars+in+earlsfield

Through me writing about all the Bars in Earlsfield, I will have more content about the topic that the sites currently there so in theory I should feature. I will be using Meta Tags in my site on the certain posts about the bars to help get found in the search engines but that is all. I am looking top get featured on content alone.

Wish me luck

Logically thinking.......

Two builders go into the pub after a hard day's work. They're sat drinking for a while when a very smartly dressed man walks in and orders a drink. The two began to speculate about what the man did for a living."I'll bet he's an accountant." said the first builder."Looks more like a stockbroker to me." argued the second. They continued to debate the subject for a good while until eventually the first builder needed to use the toilet. On walking in, he saw the smartly dressed man standing at a urinal. "Excuse me mate, but me and my friend have been arguing over what a smartly dressed fella like you does for a living?" the builder said to the man. Smiling the man replied, "I'm a logical scientist.""A what?" asked the builder."Let me explain" the man continued, "Do you have a goldfish at home?"A bit puzzled, but intrigued the builder decided to play along, "Yes, I do as it happens.""Well then it's logical to assume that you either keep it in a bowl or a pond. Which is it?""A pond" the builder replied."Well then it's logical to assume that you have a large garden." The builder nodded his agreement. So the man continued, "which means it's logical to assume you have a large house.""I have a 6 bedroom house that I built myself." the builder said proudly."Given that you have such a large house, it's logical to assume that you are married..." The builder nodded again, "Yes, I'm married and we have three children." "Then it's logical to assume that you have a healthy sex life." "Five nights a week!" the builder boasted. The man smiled a little, "Therefore it's logical to assume you don't masturbate often.""Never!" the builder exclaimed."Well there you have it" the man explained, "That's logical science at work. From finding out that you have a goldfish, I've discovered the size of your garden, all about your house, your family and your sex life!" The builder left, very impressed by the man's talents. On returning to the bar the other builder asked, "I see that smart bloke was in there, did you find out what he does?""Yeah," replied the first, "He's a logical scientist.""A what?" the puzzled second builder asked. "Let me explain" the first builder continued, "Do you have a goldfish at home?""No" replied his mate."Well, you're a wanker then!"

ONLY A MAN WOULD ATTEMPT THIS.....

Just try reading this without laughing until you cry!!!

Pocket Tazer Stun Gun - a great gift for the wife. A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Tazer for their anniversary submitted this:

Last weekend I saw something at Larry's Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary, and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized tazer. The effects of the tazer were supposed to be short-lived, with no long-term adverse effect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety...

WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! I was disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button and pressed it against a metal surface at the same time, I'd get the blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs.
AWESOME!!! (Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to Julie what that burn spot is on the face of her microwave.)

Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right? There I sat in my recliner, my cat Gracie looking on intently (trusting little soul) while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh and blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Gracie (for a fraction of a second) and thought better of it...she is such a sweet cat. If I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong?

So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and a tank top with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, and tazer in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries.

All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference, pretty cute really and (loaded with two itsybitsy AAA batteries) thinking to myself, "No possible way!" What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best.

I'm sitting there alone, Gracie looking on with her head cocked to one side as if to say, "Don't do it, " reasoning that a one-second burst from such a tiny little ole thing couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one-second burst just for the heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and...

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD...WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION...WHAT THE HELL!!!

I'm pretty sure Jessie Ventura ran in through the side door, picked me up in the recliner, then body slammed us both on the carpet, over and over and over again. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and tingling in my legs! The cat was making meowing sounds I had never heard before, clinging to a picture frame hanging above the fireplace, obviously in an attempt to avoid getting slammed by my body flopping all over the living room.

Note: If you ever feel compelled to 'mug' yourself with a tazer, one note of caution: there is no such thing as a one-second burst when you zap yourself! You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor. A three-second burst would be considered conservative. IT HURT LIKE HELL!!!

A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent reading glasses were on the mantel of the fireplace. The recliner was upside down and about 8 feet or so from where it originally was. My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and my bottom lip weighed 88 lbs. I had no control over the drooling. Apparently I pooped on myself, but was too numb to know for sure and my sense of smell was gone. I saw a faint smoke cloud above my head which I believe came from my hair. I'm still looking for my nuts and I'm offering a significant reward for their safe return!

P.S. My wife can't stop laughing about my experience, loved the gift, and now regularly threatens me with it!

If you think education is difficult, try being stupid!!!

What has been going on in my life....

So I have been a bit quiet on the blogging front and this is down to a few things...let me tell you about them.

Firstly I have been gyming and playing a lot of squash. I am getting back into the exercise thing. Getting "The Body of Zeus" back. As well as hitting the weights I am getting back in to squash and I have noticed my game improving. Do not get my wrong I will not be playing in the world championship but I will definitely start beating people who are better than me. Thinking about it, Anthony and I have hitting the gym at least 5 days a week. NO drinking during the week any more.

During the weekends, I have been have been going out. Last weekend I was in Yorkshire for my cousins birthday. She had booked out these cabins on a small lake. The cabins were awesome. Well presented and all had a jacuzzi. A remedy for disaster. The weekend had all the elements of a good weekend. There was lots of booze, mankini pictures, dress up Saturday and naked jacuzzi. I must say it was awesome but I felt so rough after that, it took 3/4 days after to get over it all.

The weekend that has just past was quiet and hectic all in one. Quiet as in did not go out so much but hectic cause we drank so much on Saturday night. Thank you Travis for that.

March is coming up and it is my birthday coming up. Yes I will be 29 years old, wow where has the time gone? I am not sure what i am doing yet but will do something for the weekend of the 12th. What else is happening in March????

There is "Steak and Blowjob day". Yes this is a really holiday not just a Craig holiday. Click on the link and check it out. haha. Everyone must get involved.

So if you are not in London and you will not seeing me, please send my presents in the post, recorded mail just to make sure that I get it. email me if you need my address. :)

That's all folks. I will be back shortly..

Monday Madness - Gone bad

I know it is not just me in the world who hates Mondays. You know it is not going to be a good day when everything starts off wrong. I actually woke up on the right side of the bed but it went down hill from there. Tubes are still fucking useless and what annoys me even more is the fact that they have been doing this for x amount of years and they still don't get it right.

Just over an hour left before I am going home and hit the gym and get rid of some tension....

Christoper's - Squash and Fitness club

Christopher's: This is the newest home I have joined. I will be living here at least 4/5 times a week. Gyming (pumping the guns) and playing squash (hitting a ball against a wall). Gotta love the excersize.

If you would like to join the 2011 Body of Zeus movement then come down and have some fun. But wait there is something better as well, there is a bar.... yes I did not write that wrong. You can have a beer after you have trained. Awesome isn't it.
