This is the latest musical offering from Slavi Trifonov, Bulgaria's answer to Michael Parkinson, or David Letterman. Its spectacularly gory and over the top. Spartacus meets Snoop Dog..or something !.

Golf Holidays | Golf Breaks | Cheap Golf Breaks | Golf Holidays Abroad: "TO"


I placed this link on as soon as I saw it.However I checked in detail this morning and, when you put it your holiday preferences, it just draws a blank.This is supposed to be a new promotion.Who do they employ at Balkan Holidays ?, monkeys ?. There is no point in me placing information like this on the blog when it turns out to be a red herring.I am not impressed.

Reminders

Just a gentle note about a couple of things.Firstly there is the followers list.If you keep checking in here for new posts, its a lot easier to click on the 'Followers' link and you get notified of any new posts.

Secondly there is the opinion poll on the left so please participate.

Dobrich English Speaking Society Social Event Sunday 6th March

I had a very brief meeting this morning with Frank and Lucy from Dobrich English Speaking Society (DESS) and I am happy to publicise their first event, a Cheese and Wine/Quiz event at 2pm on Sunday 6th March at the Villa di Poletta Hotel in Dobrich.The hotel is located in the city centre on the opposite side of the road to the big car park area and near the petrol station.I for one have put it in my diary.They are working hard to create something quite nice for anglophones (english speakers) and I hope everyone can make the effort to be there, have a drink and a chat and put forward a few ideas for future social occasions.If you want to notify them of your attendance/book a table just let me know.
