Number One Report.

VILLAGE PEOPLE. This week I thought I would mention some of the Village People that you may meet during your stay in ARINSAL. At the top of the hill is the SAN ANDREU, famous for it’s ”Curryoke” (sic) night, run by two ex ski instructors, SIMON and the much more lovely KIRSTY. If you are ever in the QUO VADIS, you will be served a shot by KEVIN, a very hospitable South African from Scottburgh. His very attractive team includes a very vivacious blonde, CHLOE. Across the road is EL CAU, famous for the Friday Seventies Night. CARLOS runs a very effective team which includes the long serving ALICIA.

EL DERBI, which attracts a lot of Irish guests, is run by South African twins, DEAN and DARREN. After knowing them for about ten years I still get confused when I meet them separately, but can correctly identify them when they are together.

Behind the bar of THE RED X, a bar popular with ski instructors, is TIGGER, who is from Hartlepool. He has a monkey above the bar. For those who are unaware, a monkey is the mascot of Hartlepool F.C. and in a typical piece of English eccentricity, the guy who plays the monkey was elected as Mayor of Hartlepool. What makes the story even better, he was re-elected for a second term.

Down at the bottom of the hill in Erts is the HOTEL PALARINE, where I stay. GRAHAM and STUART run a very friendly team which includes the vibrant and curveious TINA, who is from Argentina, and looks absolutely fabulous when she wears hear Chinese outfit when serving in the BAMBU restaurant.

I apologise to the many other friendly staff in ARINSAL that I have failed to mention but they all know that I love them all.
