Still in Paris - just zipped into Easy Everything up by the Forum des Halles on Bvd Sebastapol as I was passing. I'm feeling a bit fragile after tooling into the hotel at 5am having had a great meal in the Fermette Marbeuf, followed by many beers (including Duvels, Sharks!) in various bars before a couple of hours failing to get into any cool clubs, on account of being a bunch of badly dressed English lads who have had too much to drink. We finally settled for the uncool bar round the corner from the hotel. Just like London here ain't it? The search for bars took us through a couple of bars that you couldn't see into from the street ('Bar Club' Venus being one of them, Nick, next time you're over here) where the only people present other than ourselves were several very large gentlemen who didn't appear to be drinking and for some reason looked rather serious and about 10 scantily clad, bad-looking women sitting around drinking "champagne". When we found out that beers were 16 quid, we decided that maybe we didn't fancy buying any "champagne" for any of the females present. It doesn't only happen in Soho, eh. Bloody tourists.
want more?
