Last weekend was a very last minute weekend in Sheffield. Great fun! I had planned a visit to Mette in England back in October already, but injured my ankle badly just a couple days before departure… Booked this trip so late, nothing could go wrong this time! :-) It was great fun seeing Mette again, who I hadn’t seen for almost a year, and quite quickly we adapted our usual rituals again of relaxing, drinking cappuccino’s and having fun! :-)

Saturday night turned out to be a rather extraordinary evening… Mette, “Helle the girl” (Mette’s friend who is also studying in Sheffield) and I went to their favorite place called “Flares”. A bar/disco/club kind of place. Not sure how to describe it… They played great 70’s and 80’s music, so after a couple of beers you could sing along with almost every song! ;-)
But the extraordinary wasn’t the place, it was the people… oh my lord! Never seen so many weird people in one place at the same time!!!
Normally I wouldn’t have so much problems with women dressing very slutty, it’s a free world, but in Sheffield they should have a law forbidding it! I will paint the picture. Almost all women were definitely a couple of sizes bigger then they would like to be… nothing wrong with that at all, but why do they try to fit everything in clothes that really seem 3 sizes smaller then they are… they struggle all evening to keep everything “on board”… It’s for sure not sexy… it’s nasty… just very nasty… And do they really think men like that? Well… I guess the local men do… I started out a bit shocked, but at the end of the evening and seeing everybody in the same “dress code” there was nothing to do then laugh at it… Not because it was extremely funny, but more in a sense of: “Girl, what the hell were you thinking?” :-)
But besides that there was more shocking things! 20 year old totally drunk guys, being all over 50+ year old totally drunk women… *argggg* did I say nasty already? *hahahaha* Didn’t matter where you looked, it was a freakshow everywhere! :-) Another highlight was the girl who really looked like an Russian Matreshkas puppet! To our great joy, as the evening went by, it actually looked like she got smaller and smaller… Could it really have been… :-)
After a rather failed introduction of the “lawn mower” dance to the Sheffield club scene it was already time to split as the place close at 02:00 already… Strange people these British!

All in all it turned out to be a really fun weekend! The follow up party will be in Copenhagen later this summer! Let’s see if we can successfully introduce the “lawn mower” there! :-)
