Keith Vaz and some other idiot MP will be at Luton airport tomorrow to see the 'hordes' of Romanians arrive..Perhaps someone should tell them that a flight arriving at 7.40am on a Wednesday with a capacity of 200 odd is not really an accurate or empirical assessment.Then again dear old Keith cannot add up his expenses anyway

2013: a Review of our year on Uncle Bulgaria Blog

It has been an interesting year on this blog.Yours truly has been interviewed by BBC radio, and the hits just keep on coming.The loyalty and interest of the readership is greatly appreciated.As mentioned, in earlier posts, we are  interested in regional contributions (that are topical) from all parts of Bulgaria.

However, for now, here is a review of what proved popular on the blog this year:

Dobrich's new ,and I think temporary, skating rink proved a great seasonal hit, but throughout the year a documentary about organised crime in Bulgaria was a major hit, as was the usual stuff on the weather.

Easyjet's ticketing malfunctions featured prominently, and the fans of random and gratuitous violence liked the report that Sylvester Stallone was buying a 'pied a terre' in Bulgaria( following his last visit).

My various property offers seemed to go down well.

All in all it has been an interesting year, but Bulgaria needs to get back on the radar, and for the right reasons.

Bar Shishman, 24 Shishman St. Sofia

Whilst on recommendations, I would point you in the direction of this newest addition to Sofia nightlife.It is located off Graf Ignatief Street near Vitosha Blvd. The bar is on two levels, the upper level has a light and airy decor with nice sofa's by the side of the bar.There is a nice range of Czech beer at 3.90lv a pint and some nice coffees etc.Downstairs is a great cellar bar with lovely stone walls, it is dimly lit with a great atmosphere.The emphasis is on quality service.There is regular live music.

McCarthy's Irish Bar, Sofia

I had a wonderful couple of visits to this bar, which is just off Vitosha Blvd down Alabin St. and opposite a McDonalds.It is located upstairs through a doorway marked 'Sonata'.Once you have discovered it the bar is quite lovely.It is dark with lots of Irish stuff on the walls.There is regular live music and the landlord and staff are very friendly.Guinness at 6 leva a pint is very reasonable, and there is an extensive range of spirits (the landlord, out of the blue, bought me a Bushmills Black Bush).

I like places that are fairly genuine and this is certainly it in terms of hospitality.There is no food, it is a pub for lovers of booze, music and the craic !.

A poem by Rudyard Kipling for Armistice Day

Gethsemane
 1914-1918
 
The Garden called Gethsemane 
In Picardy it was, 
And there the people came to see 
The English soldiers pass. 
We used to pass—we used to pass 
Or halt, as it might be, 
And ship our masks in case of gas 
Beyond Gethsemane. 

The Garden called Gethsemane, 
It held a pretty lass, 
But all the time she talked to me 
I prayed my cup might pass. 
The officer sat on the chair, 
The men lay on the grass, 
And all the time we halted there 
I prayed my cup might pass. 

It didn’t pass—it didn’t pass- 
It didn’t pass from me. 
I drank it when we met the gas 
Beyond Gethsemane!

It is a very encouraging development, and the students seem both highly principled and motivated.However they are facing a political class devoted to furthering its own interests, with big business as the puppet master.
