WHERE DID SUMMER GO?                30 June 08

 

 

That’s the third Sunday since the west end festival it’s bloody rained down on us, what happened to summer?

 

I lent my car to Pavla at the weekend to transport her family and our dog to France, then on to Czech with her dad and she turned around and came straight back to Glasgow. She managed to do Glasgow – Dover and back including the 2 ferry crossings to France in one go and only 3 hours sleep so if you see her in the club she has bags under her eyes like the dug’s bawz.

 

It's was a really busy weekend again and without any real drama, just the usual stuff going on, no real hassles and that’s just the way we all like it here.

 

I haven’t said anything about Rossano’s restaurant for a while, and I have been in. They are doing good and starting to get a regular crowd at the weekends so they don’t need me to plug them anymore!! (Hong Kong fuey)

 

The staff are all getting new uniforms this week and a big thank you should go out to Brian the owner of Slanj (the kilt shop in town) he has made the new uniforms for our girls and logo-ed up the stuff for the boys, they are looking well smart!

 

That’s all for this week folks

 

Bye Bye

ANOTHER BLOODY BLOG                23 June 08

Stringfellow; Always picks up

Do you ever get that Monday blues feeling?

 

Well, I’ve got the blues, it’s not that we had a quiet weekend or anything, the club was really busy at the weekend, I was in Friday and Saturday night and everything ran smoothly, apart from the terrace lights going out for some unknown reason all was ok.

 

Its holiday season and everyone seems to be going soon, apart from me. I tried to sort out a wee vacation with someone last week but that’s gone a bit pairshaped so I may have to go away alone like a real Sad Sammy ha-ha.

 

So it’s a “table for one sir” for me, it’s funny cos all the guys say to you, you have the best job in the world talking to women all night in a club, but in reality the chances of leaving with a women from the club are slim, as all the women you speak to say you must love it in here talking and sha~#ng all the women, and I won’t end up just another one of them. I’m sure Peter Stringfellow never had these problems ……………. That reminds me I need a haircut!!

 

P.s. Bye to Bonnie who is off to Czech land on Friday x

OH MAH HEED!!                              16 June 08

 

What can I say? Well speaking is the only thing that does not hurt to do at the moment , our second west end festival is over , thank god we made it out the other end alive ……

 

From 2 onwards we just got busier and busier until we reached saturation point around 6 ish.

 

Auntie Val was flat out on the barby, all the staff worked there little t shirts off, making mojitos buy the s#*tload.

 

If you were here all afternoon, thank you! , it’s you guys at the end of the day we do all this for ,ok we have to make some money along the way but as long as we all have fun doing it , it makes the hard work worthwhile …..

 

Please excuse any spelling misteaks my pet Labrador bonnie it typing this for me, I didn’t know it was possible to get pain like this just from blinking!

 

That’s all folks

I’m off for a wee lie down

 

P s Greer, hope you don’t feel as bad as me, but I think there is a chance you might feel worse!!

NEXT UP: FESTIVAL TIME!!          09 June 08

 

 

Well another weekend is over and what a weekend it was

 

The weather was kind to us once again which really made a big difference to lazy Sunday on the terrace, we had a great day, there was a good crowd of people and the mojitos were going down a storm. And no matter what any of you music experts say, you can’t beat the gypsy kings on a sunny afternoon!!!!

 

I just found out I have a certifiable friend in the name of Gemma. Every Sunday Gemma puts on her princess tiara and her special gold pants with sequins and pops out to the local supermarket to buy a bottle of pink fizz (with tiara) takes it home and drinks the lot herself and watches crap TV then goes to bed , her special day is called pink fizz day and it could catch on. If I manage to get any pics I will stick them up .Gemma your mental (but lovely with it)

 

This Sunday is the west end festival parade and if the weather is good to us it’s going to be a big one. We have the DJ’s on the roof, Vals is all stocked up with burgers, blackened chicken and steak for the barbeque. We are all stocked up for mojitos on special 2 for 1 as usual.

 

That’s all folks

 

Have a good festival!!!!!

BLOODY RAIN!!                       02 June 08

 

 

The rain put a wee bit of a downer on our 2nd Sunday barbeque. But it’s not dampened our spirits, next Sunday is looking good weather wise and the one after that is the big one, its West End festival time so get down early for that one, it’s going to be awesome.

 

I was chatting with some of the regulars on Saturday night and Auntie Val’s new BBQ shack seems to be mighty popular with the regulars and the staff alike.

 

Aly had another busy night on Thursday and it looks like DJ Naeem has a following of loyal supporters, come down on a Thursday the music is refreshing and if you get here early enough Aly has free bubbly for the first 100 customers.

 

I’m moving house this week back to the west end so it’s the end of the odd couple at Milngavie. I’m just a bit worried Jimmy Lang will go back to his old ways of carry outs and sleeping late in the mornings, James thanks a million for the warm welcome, it’s now ok for you to hump all over the house again as there is no chance of me walking in and disturbing you, cheers buddy, I owe you big time!!

 

That’s all folks

 

See ya

LAZY SUNDAYS                       26 May 08

 

 

 

Well a lot of you missed the first barbeque on the terrace on Sunday but likewise a lot of you made it in ………… the Coors team headed up by Barry the boss and 2nd lieutenant Craig were there to drink “bon voyage” to Shona who is off to pastures new, from the Boho team Shona enjoy your new job and thanks for all the support you gave Boho.

 

Bump had its first night on Thursday and Aly the bump promoter was happy with the crowd and the numbers through the door, DJ Naeem is his usual slick self and the night looks like it could be a huge success , see you this Thursday if you come down, there is still free bubbly for the first 100 customers.

 

This Saturday for some reason has become very popular for pre booked large parties of women so if you are a young single guy get down early the place will be full of women!

 

The photo gallery this week is compliments of Jimmy Lang who did a sterling job with his new camera sorry the frame is not in any of the pics but it will be back next week...

 

Don’t forget this Sunday auntie Vals barbeque on the terrace from 2pm with chill out tunes and 2 for 1 mojitos.

 

That’s all folks

BANK HOLIDAY MADNESS                        19 May 08

 

Yes folks it’s another bank holiday weekend and it’s all happening here at Boho HQ.

 

Vals polishing her barbeque getting ready for our Lazy Sunday afternoons, come down early it’s a wee sun trap, we are doing 2 for 1 mojito's- Starts at 2pm!! etc

 

Aly is getting excited and nervous all at the same time , hoping that his new Thursday night called bump will go down well , so if you’re a friend of Aly or if you like DJ Naeem come on down its sure to be a good night there are drink promos and free champagne for the first 100 through the door .

 

Big Gene is offskie from the front door he has other business commitments and feels the late nights are getting the better of him (tell me about it I haven’t had a weekend of for 8 months) so he is off to pastures new, all the best big guy and you are always welcome for a wee sherry at the Boho bar!!!

 

So we now have a new guy on the door called Chris, not as big as Gene and probably a wee bit better on the eye for the girlies, you can let me know girls?

 

That’s all folks see ya next week

BYE BYE DOEBALL                                     11 May 08

   

 

I was hoping some of you would get back to me and say you wanted to do the doe ball rally again but apart from a few folk that have approached me in the club no one has said anything, so it’s with regret I don’t think the doe ball will see another year, if you want to go for it again I need firm commitment from about 15 teams, last year was great fun ask anyone that was on it!! …..

 

For anyone who does not know about it, well it’s just a big treasure hunt in cars starting at Boho and finishing at Boho it takes the whole day and there are prizes, with lunch and breakfast thrown in too!

 

Getting back to things happening now, Sunday the 25th is the official opening of our new terrace complete with auntie Val's BBQ, the terrace and bar will be open from 2pm and we will be doing 2 for 1 mojitos, kebabs and chill out tunes from dj  s dale on the roof , come down it’s a wee sun trap out there and there is loads of room , no fighting for a table ; there is room for everyone and everyone is welcome (nearly everyone , I could name a few that are not , but i,m not allowed )

 

Please e mail me about anything good or bad to do with the club, or personally just good things if your fit and single and I promise I will get back to you, and just in case you wondered I have put just a few pounds on since that picture of me was taken, too much of auntie Val's apple pie …………

 

Take care

BYE BYE AMERICAN PIE                                 05 May 08

And in the streets; the children screamed,

aMERICAN pIE
American Pie: Not always tasty.

 

The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed,

But not a word was spoken;

The church bells all were broken.

 

In case you ever wondered what the levee don MacLean was driving his chevy too, it’s a type of dam that runs along the banks of a river or canal.

 

Classic song which was murdered by Brendan at the Boho night out at the karaoke bar!!

 

Well it’s been an eventful week in my life but imam not going to go into it as I would like to keep some things personal; all I’m saying is watch this space.

 

The bank holiday weekend is just over and we are getting ready for the next one at the end of May, Sunday the 25th will see the official opening of Vals outdoor bar-b-que area and early opening too, so if it’s a sunny day head on down to the Boho terrace and relax to chill out tunes for our Sleazy Sunday afternoons……….. Tell you what it beats fighting for a table in some of the other west end joints!

 

That’s all this week folks just a wee get well soon to Jen from everyone here, we hope to see you back soon xx

 

See Ya

Scooters: Not gay at all!

Yes I know it’s hard to lose a golf club when you only use one at a time! If anyone finds a 5 iron at Hilton Park, keep it I was playing crap with it anyway!!

 

Friday night ………… we had a fashion show with help from Erin Gavin, curves and lace ,Slanj and Browns, and also a big thanks to Mr. James Lang aka 'MIRAGE' who stepped up to compare (a difficult job ) with no formal training at all .

 

This weekend is a bank holiday weekend and Sunday will be the usual busy night so get down early on Sunday.

 

I was back at Rossano's restaurant last night (stew again) I need to try something else but the Italian stew is just sooo good. There was a lovely couple sitting next to me and we got talking, they distribute their own coffee blend which is called Circi and let me tell you from an espresso lover, it’s the dogs!! ……. Kept me awake all night so its best tried it before midnight, Andrea and Julie verdinelli see you soon and don’t forget the scooter racing sounds like fun.

Tartan-tastic!
Ah, the Bay City Rollers I remember them fondly, myself and mark Wilson got some tartan rugs and cut them and stitched them into scarf’s and sold them outside the old Apollo theatre in Glasgow. We managed to sell a couple of hundred then got chased off by the cops for not having a street traders licence!

 

This Friday we are having a fashion show with topless kilted men for the girls and nearly topless knicker clad girls for the boys (yeehaw). Come down early it should be a good night and we have all sorts of promotions going on ……..

 

It’s really starting to feel like summer now and not one of you have come back to me with any summer things you want laid on which means one of two things 1 you don, t read this stuff and I am babbling on for nothing or 2 you don, t have any suggestions for us cause Boho is perfect the way it is, please put your thoughts down on e mail I will answer them all.

BYE BYE BLACKBIRD!                                    14 April 08

 

 

 

An old Lisa Minnelli song or was it Barbara Streisand i'm not sure, it was one of those old birds anyway.

Just the other night I was in Rossano's new restaurant at Anniesland (this plug gets me a free starter) and his lovely wife Amanda was telling me Barbara Streisand tickets for her concert in London are 600 quid !! Jesus I think she need 2 paramedics and oxygen after one rendition of the way we were!

 

Anyway , I am babbling on about  god knows what . 

We are having a fashion show at the club on the 25th April with kilts and tartan stuff from Brian Halley @ Slanj and sexy stuff from bla bla bla come in early folks we have all sorts of stuff going on and I really do think it will be a good night .

 

Erin Gavin is supplying the models and my job now is to log onto her site and pick the models for the evening (dirty job but someone has to do it) I will try and troll through site and not miss a thing, ha ha.

 

Oh and I nearly forgot , look out for auntie Val’s new bar b queue on the deck

BYE BYE DARK MORNINGS                           07 April 08

 

Cheeky
Cheeky

I know the snow is not really any indication that British summertime is here, but it is, so we can all pack away our tights for another few months at least (Pavel that was for you we know you wear tights under your trousers and now so does everyone else)

 

Summer eh! What does it conjure up in your head? The first thing I think of is the fact that women wear less clothing and that can only be good right? Well if you’re a geezer at least. I remember 2 summers ago riding round George Square on my bike , dark visor down so I can get a good look at the women and this one stunner catches my eye , sitting on those wee low walls with a short skirt on so I make another circuit as quick as I can before she finishes her Greggs low cal chicken mexicana wrap , crawl along as slow as you can go on a motorbike without falling over or putting your feet down (uncool) getting a real good swatch at this beauty and next thing bang, crash straight into the back of a bus , the girls reading this will be saying poetic justice ! The guys will understand, I hope …………..

 

People people people keep your eyes out for the changes that are going on outside on the deck. We are putting auntie Val on the deck with a bar-b-que for the summer nights and we will be doing the early openings on a Sunday for the now named ‘Sleazy Sunday’ afternoons, enjoy a lazy afternoon with a mojito and one of auntie Vals roast beef baguettes and some chill out music served up from our DJ on the roof. Any suggestions for up and coming events please e mail.

BYE BYE CREDIT CRUNCH                                01 April 08                

 

 

So the tell me the credit crunch is over and everyone can get back to normal spending, yeah right ,  can someone please tell my bank manager so I can nip down to cruise and check out their new summer collections ………..

 

The other day one of the regulars asked me “what new stuff is coming up for summertime “and my reply was what would you like? I know we are a nightclub but we still come out at daytime we are not vampires, so tell me what you would like to do and we will organise it, all suggestions are considered. Easter Sunday was a busy one and a lot of new faces as well as the normal regulars were in having a goodtime hopefully , so to all those new faces welcome and we hope to see you again very soon .

 

You might notice while you are queuing up outside that we have (at great expense to ourselves) cleaned up all the chewing gum outside on the pavement, so please when you are patiently waiting to come in please either swallow or dispose of your gum properly ………. Thanks

 

ON A VERY SERIOUS NOTE ----- WHEN YOU ARE LEAVING THE CLUB IN THE EARLY HOURS CAN YOU PLEASE PLEASE  KEEP THE NOISE DOWN WE DO HAVE NIEGHBOURS AND WE DO LIKE TO RESPECT THERE RIGHT TO A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP …………

BYE BYE BUNNIES                                               24 March 08

 

 

Easter is over all the rabbits are back in there holes (saucy)

 

So now you have stuffed your faces full of cheap low grade coco tasting Easter eggs it’s time to join the gym, after all you can’t look like an extra from orca the killer whale when you hit the beach this year eh!! I know every year it’s the same we promise ourselves we will try harder and get fit and toned like that geezer from east enders who is some big Hollywood heart throb gladiator now!

 

But it’s hard, too bloody hard so just accept the majority of us are on the slightly chubby side! Girls admit it you don’t want to be going out with a brad pit lookalike it might be fun gazing at him in your bed , but take him outside and you will need a big stick to keep all the other bitches away ! If you want to make an effort without compromising your nightlife, just start drinking gin and slim line that’s my summer tip!

 

Take care and keep logging on to the new web site its changing daily and the weekend photos are always up-loaded on the Monday !!!!!!!!!

BYE BYE ST PAT'S                                17 March 08

 

So St Patrick’s Day is over all the gingers are hibernating till next year when they can drink Guinness and socialise with the normal people once again.

 

 

Now it’s bloody Easter!! Chocolate eggs fluffy bunnies and all the usual Easter stuff that goes with it. And what are we doing for Easter? Nothing!! just kidding we have an Easter eggstravaganza going down on Sunday with cream egg vodka shots etc robin b is on the decks , I don’t think they play decks anymore he will prob be on the laptop!!

 

So the nights are getting lighter again, summer (well) will be here and gone quicker than Aunty Val’s mozzarella sticks so make the most of it!! 

 Our next big thing for you guys to know about is the west end festival starting on Friday 13th June and before that there are 3 bank holidays 21st mar , 5th may and may 26th bank holidays are always a good night out at Boho, full of fan
