Benidorm trip report (inc VIDEOS)

I hate flying!!!!

I have just got back from a lads weekend away in Benidorm (Spain)  with a load of lads from work to celebrate one of the lads 40th birthday. Six of us went: myself (aged 34) my brother pictured above in white (32), Coley whose 40th birthday it was (pictured above in blue at the back), Karl (47) , Phil (49) and Langers (53). 

My brother and me were the babies (youngest) of the group but the funniest/craziest antics came from Langers who was the oldest of us, although he reckons his mental age is just 10!!.  He can whistle really loudly on demand and that was his rallying call all holiday, he whistled and pointed at anyone and everyone and had us crying with laughter for the full weekend. In his younger days he used to be a bodybuilder and compete in shows on stage and still loves flaunting his stuff in front of everyone....he was a LEGEND on this holiday lol!!!

 Like on most trips and holidays over the years that i have reported about on this blog i have included a number of comical videos and this trip was no different. The first one was of us sat in a bar on Saturday night and gives a slight insight into Langers' crazy whistling. We actually got thrown out of this bar later as the barman came over and told him to stop whistling as enough was enough and people were complaining!!!. The old ladies at the table behind us were some what bemused!!!

Later on Saturday night we ended up in a bar with one of those mechanical bulls that you can try and ride and see how long you can stay on it for. I managed a respectable 2nd in the group and in this video i captured Langers and Coleys attempt. There was also a ride for the girls to have a go on which was a giant penis, this obviously  made for some hilarious and sometimes raunchy viewing!!!







We started drinking on the trip at 6am on Friday morning in Liverpool airport and managed to carry on drinking for nearly 24 hours until about 5.30 am the following day which is a pretty good effort in my opinion. Here is a video i made early in the afternoon on Friday when the sun was out and everyone was in high spirits, especially Langers for who it is never too early to dance and strut those muscles. 









After leaving that bar we then proceeded down the large Levante beach front and the ludicrous behaviour continued. Most people in our job (at work)  have been described as having a strange sense of humour (probably because of the stuff we have to deal with on a daily basis), with nothing deemed to obscene/rude or embarrassing. And when it comes to applying sun tan lotion some might even see it as slightly gay!!!






Further on down the beach and after getting told to get off the kids climbing frames by the local police we had a quick £5 bet as to who could get to the top of a climbing frame first. Karl managed to win, which we kinda knew anyway because he is mad and doesn't care what he does!!  In fact during the stay he came out with some classic quotes. After us drinking for 24 hours the first day and having only about 4 hours sleep we all were rough as fook in the morning and had mouths like sandpaper. We took a morning stroll down the beach front again all drinking water to try and rehydrate ourselves, well all of us apart from Karl.  
Apparently he hardly drinks any water and stated  "you only drink water when your drowning" and "water is for plants".  Whilst we were drinking water he was necking cans of San Miguel!!!.......he is just an animal!!! lol








However it didn't take the rest us long to get back on the ale again and we all spent the whole of Saturday afternoon drinking whilst sat in the hotel pool.  As a change from the lager and red bull & vodkas we had drunk for 24 hours previously we decided to try some different drinks and managed to talk the pool bar girl into serving us slush puppies (with crushed ice) with either brandy,gin, or vodka in them.  They tasted nice and we necked them for about 5 hours whilst lying in the pool. 

Our behaviour got slightly more boisterous as the afternoon progressed and at one point a women complained of our behaviour saying "there are kids in the pool you know"..  Karl actually replied/shouted  "Shes only jealous as she has more hair on her face then on Rossi's arse!!!"
  To be honest i would have thought kids would have found it funny me getting smashed on the bare arse with a metal drinks tray and then slammed over the head with it to knock me underwater (Jackass eat your heart out). I think it made the lads laugh when out of the blue i just said to Karl "eh mate smash me over the head with that as hard as you can lad"!!

Karl did that to me about five times mostly on demand from other people and it was pretty hilarious and it didn't hurt at all really apart from a red arse, i nearly drowned from laughing so much.  Half the holiday makers sat round the pool were laughing at us whilst the other half frowning at us haha....  who cares lol.  Coley managed to let himself fall asleep at one point on a sun lounger next to the pool, though he wasn't asleep long before getting sprayed with a water gun and then Karl dragged the the sun lounger with Coley still on it into the pool...wakey wakey!!

We all moved further down the pool as the afternoon sun gradually moved, until all that was left was a jacuzzi with two old foreign women in it. However they soon got out when Karl ran over and threw himself in head first nearly hitting one of the old dears accross the head with a stray foot. As they were getting out Langers tried to lend a helping hand but was nearly shoved out of the way in anger!!

 Karl: winner of the climbing frame bet and general bad poolside behaviour.

On both nights we ended up in Cafe Benidorm, which is open from  7.30pm until 7am every night of the week and we just had a really great time and anyone who hasnt been to Benidorm really should try it out.
It was a brilliant trip and a superb laugh and i cant wait until we do it all again next year for Phil's 50th........bring it on!!!  nice one lads ty.
