MAX'S BLOG FROM CYPRUS!!!!!! (Boy in the attic lets rip)

Hello everyone! Max here (for all the regulars out there you will know me as boy in the attic!) Jodie has given me the pleasure of writing her blog today all the way from sunny Cyprus so I hope you enjoy my account of the carnage that we are creating out here!!

Right, so where shall I start? Well I must admit my memory of this week so far is a little hazy to say the least so I will do my best to remember all the best bits! Firstly I should mention that my parents live out in Cyprus so the plan was for me to have a semi-civilised holiday seeing the family and maybe having a couple of nights out in Napa with the crew. But unfortuately the lure of the neon lights, cheap booze and smell of sick has proved too mush for me and I have spent about 2 mins with the olds (sorry guys!) and most of the time in bars/clubs/sleeping on lilo's (but more of that later)......

Thurs night was my first night out with the gang and, let me tell you, did we do ourselves proud!! You know when everyone one in your group is all hyper and bang up for it? well we were on one of those on Thursday night!! We all headed to the biggest kareoke bar in Ayia Napa first off all and started to reak havoc on the bar. The bar staff were being top blokes and plying us with free shots (as if we needed them) so after about and hour we were all out of our trees!! We were all in need of a good old sing song, so me and Tony took up the challenge to sing "The day we caught the train" by Ocean Colour Scene. Now I am not beeing big headed, but we were the nuts and had the whole of Bedrock singing along!! (well that is how I thought it went, the rest will probably tell you we were s*it and were getting broken glass chucked at us! haha). Now I dont want to put a dampener on the story but I might as well mention it as I rememeber it p*ssing me off at the time. All of us are out here for a holiday to remember. Its not very often that we all get to go away together so this is a real treat for us all. Now obviously Jodie is in the public eye and her fans want to ask for photos and autographs which is fair enough and Jod will tell you she is more than happy to do it, but some people (a minority I must admit) think it is there right to harrass Jodie while she is on holiday with some of her best mates. I am sure all of you can imagine that even a saints patience would be tested if loads of p*ssed twats kept pushing their way into your face to ask for a photo with not even a please or thankyou!Well on the Thursday Jod was getting loads of this kind of attention and I felt so sorry for her because she is too mush of a nice person and a professional to be rude to people when, to be honest, that is what they deserve. So Jod, good on you for dealing with it all like such a star!! (I would never have the patience you do!!)

Anyway.....rant over!! After the bedrock bar, we all went over the road to Starksy's club. Now here is where my memory goes a bit wonky...I remember being in there, and I remember enjoying a few Shandies but I cant really tell you too mush else about what happened in there!!But Jodie has a load of hilarious photos, and I am sure she will take great pleasure in putting them up on her website to humilitate us all. For some reason there are a lot of me kissing and hugging loads of people male and female (oh dear!!).....as well as me trying to perform various homosexual looking dance moves! I think my mate Mr Jack Daniels might have been the cause of that behaviour. It probably a good point to mention that I am not staying in the hotel with the rest of the crew, my house is a 45 min drive away from Ayia Napa so I was planning on poncing the spare bed in Ian's room. Now Ian wasnt as keen for this as me and he has saved the bed for some lady action (if the situation arose) so I was bedless come kicking out time at Starsky's. So my only option was to grab a lilo and sleep on the balcony of Jordan and Russ's room. This seem like a wicked idea at the time, buit come 10 a.m. the next day when 34 degree sun was beating down on me and I was stuck to the lilo with my own sweat, then the novelty had well and truly worn off! I managed to peel myself off and look in the window to see Jord and Russ sleeping soundly in the air conditioned comfort of the room! nice. You think I would have learnt from that night but I have slept on that sodding balcony all week (but the lilo is no more, I use two comfy seats pushed together now!). By the way if Napa Plaza hotel management read this then its all a lie and I havent slept in any rooms without paying for it! haha

I have to interupt the blog to say that me and Jod are typing this while listening to a house version of the Barry Manilow classic "Copa Cobana" that is blastingin the internet cafe! Me and Jod once performed our own music video to this about 10 years ago but that is a story for another time.....

Friday was an amusing night. We were all feeling pretty rough from the night before so we decided the only way to get through this was to "drink through the pain"So we all got massively involved at the bar (In Bedrock again might I add!)...the shots were flowing when all of a sudden the barman pulls out 2 free bottles of"Champagne" out from the bar and gives them to us. Now I say champagne but this stuff was like f*cking fizzy vinegar. It was so minging it was untrue. Me, Jord, Tonyand Pants refused to drink it, but being the drinking legend he is Russ pipes up with "Give 'em 'ere" and proceeds to down all four of them in one go!...respect has got to be given to him for that! Again we were all having a quality night when some d*ckhead comes over barking for a photo with Jod. Jord offered to take the photo, andas a wind up turned the camera on himself and took a photo. It was only a joke but this t*at goes off on one calling Jordan a "w*nker". So it all got a bit heated for a bitbut our new mates in Bedrock looked after us and had the lovely gentleman and his rotting bird mates chucked out for giving us grief for no reason! After that we all had another 20 drinks before the night became too mush for me and Jord, so we decided to do the classy thing and get a 14 piece bucket of KFC in and scoff it in the room!! touch! Russ came storming into the room about 20 mins after us in soaking wet boxers telling us he, Jod and Carolina had been chucked out of the hotel pool for skinny dipping...tut tut!

Last night, I admit, was a poor show from a few of us. Me and Jord were acting more like 54 than 24 and had a few drinks in the hotel bar before calling it a night early doors.Tony was feeling ill so had an early one so it was up to the rest of the massive to mash up Ayia Napa. I definately know Jod had a good time coz she came flying into our room about 4 a.m. sluring "wwhhhyy aaarreeee yyyououu innn bbeeeddd??" ha ha!! (John and Kris, you know how mush I exaggerate! she wasnt that bad....wink wink)

Tonight I can feel another massive night brewing because everyone seems well up for it. We are all heading down to the bar at the harbour now for a beer or twenty and some dinner before we get our glad rags on and hit the town!

Well I am waffling now so I will sign off. Thank you Jod for allowing me to have a crack at the blog. Hope it was ok!!

And I hope you all enjoyed it too!! (the spelling is crap coz I cant type so apologies for that!!)

Be good

Max (Boy in the attic)

(P.s. Clark and Ciaran if you read this you will be glad to know I have not been to any clubs alone this year!!! get in...haha)
