Wiggy's World

Was doing a bit of news reading online (as you do) and came across this news article (below) that got me thinking about heading over to Berlin and partaking in a bit of a cycling sight-seeing tour!   I’ve been to Munich and had lots of fun in a few bavarian bräuhaus’s including the famous Hofbräuhaus, during a rather random weekend trip to Oktoberfest (I really really wanna go again!), so maybe a trip to a few German cities is in order

A Berlin brothel has come up with a novel way to negate the impact of the global economic crisis and target a new group of customers at the same time — offering a discount to patrons who arrive on bicycles.

“The recession has hit our industry hard,” said Thomas Goetz, owner of the “Maison d’envie” brothel.

“Obviously we hope that the discount will attract more people,” he added. “It’s good for business, it’s good for the environment — and it’s good for the girls.”

Customers who arrive on bicycle or who can prove they took public transportation get a 5-euro (4 pounds) discount from the usual 70-euro ($100) fee for 45 minute sessions, Goetz told Reuters. He said the environmentally friendly offer was working.

“We have around 3-5 new customers coming in daily to take advantage of the discount,” he said, adding the green rebate has helped alleviate traffic and parking congestion in the neighbourhood.

It’s been a bit of a chilled week so far, with me not heading over to the gym, after having a painful shoulder.  No point in making it any worse, altho I did go training with John and the Cockle team Monday night @ Manor.  My mate Smithy was wanting to find a team to play for, and I got him to come down.  I’m always a bit edgy when reccomending something to someone, or asking them to come and play, but it turns out Smithy knows 2 or 3 of the players from being a year above him at school, and it looks like he’s wanting to sign next season.  My social calander is starting to bloom a little too haha! Can always tell when it’s summer cos thats the only time I ever come out and play. Thursday me, Bagi and Wayniac are gonna head to our local Wetherspoons to partake in a curry and a pint night, and then Saturday I’m heading into Chesterfield with a group of unknowns and Maddsy! Should be fun I suppose.  Trying to see if an old mate Nic is gonna come out, cos I aint seen her for the best part of a year!

Me and Nic a year or so ago

I’m not normally one who laughs at anothers misfortune or ability to do certain things.  But this morning all me and Smash could do was laugh.  When asked what the best way to get a photo off his phone/memory card was, we gave him 2 easy enough options.  Buy a memory card reader from ASDA, about a minute up the road, or email it to his computer.  But no he wanted to search the office for a bluetooth dongle.  Then wondered why it wouldnt work straight away.  An hour later and much moaning and groaning he finally got it working

Ali G In Da House was on ITV the other day, and watching that has made me really wanna go and see Brüno.  It wasn’t till I pointed it out that Jean Girard is indeed Sacha Baron Cohen (a.k.a. Boart and Ali G) that he admitted to liking one of the films he’s in.  He guessed it was just some random french person!
