Must do excursions in the UK

Paintballing is one of my favourite excursions; it’s exciting every time I go. It’s a painful activity, but it has a lot of team building activity spirit in it, you have to work together and be tactical. I get a proper buzz off the hype of running around and shooting my friends.

It’s also cool to share each other’s bruises after and you get some unforgettable stories to tell in the future. The best paintballing centres are the ones that are based outside, like Delta Force in Essex. I’ve been to one in-door centre in London Docklands, which was really good and for some reason it felt more painful.

My next choice would be Jet Skiing. It isn’t something you think of doing the UK, as the weathers not the great and the waters cold. But there are centres in the UK where you can go and Jet Ski and it’s an awesome experience. The cold water seems to add another element of excitement to the whole excursion.

This is one for the speed junkies out there and you have to be willing to get messy. Rage Buggy racing is adrenalin pumping fun; you will drift through mud and water, and then get covered in the stuff! You get to race into ditches and over ramps, which bounce the buggy off all fours and into the air. It’s a truly messy mad driving adventure.

Fast, furious and adrenalin filled. Zap Cat is almost like the street racing of the sea. You’re kitted up in wet suits and helmets, then placed in what essentially is an inflatable dingy, that is strapped with a super boat engine. You then pair up and race through the sea at high speeds and each time you throttle forward the boat front lifts to almost a 45 degree angle.

Lastly I think everyone should have a go at White Water rafting. It’s a total rush that challenges you physically and mentally. It will make you battle with any fear of heights or water you may have. It’s a team effort to battle through the rough waters. White water rafting tests your strengths in many ways but most importantly its fun and you’ll always cherish such an experience.

Brown is the new Black

The last couple of years saw a rise in cars being released in white. It’s a cool colour but it’s starting to get boring. So it’s good news to see that 2010 seems to be bringing new hues into the market; the most popular seems to be shades of Brown. As always fashion trends always go full circle, so seeing brown cars reminds me of my dad’s car back when I was just 8 years old, he use to drive a chocolate brown Ford Escort. As I got older I remember joy riding around in a brown Mini Metro, luckily I never got caught. The first brown car I saw was the Audi R8 Spyder, which looked amazing. As more cars got released with the new 10 registration plate it seems it’s the new trend and Brown has become the new black. My favourite new car in brown is the Porsche 997 Turbo Cabriolet, followed closely by the Audi R8 Spyder. I’ve even seen an Audi A3 in a really dark brown colour which I loved. The most affordable brown car I would go for would be the Citroen DS3; I should p...

Locomotive Themed Indian Takeaway in Basildon

As usual I was feeling hungry and seeing as it was a Friday night I decided to pick up the stash of takeaway menus that have nested on my doormat. I casually went through the pile looking for something that caught my eye and I came across a rather adventurous looking Indian takeaway menu.   It was from an Indian Takeaway in Basildon called the Maharaja’s Express Indian Takeaway. The menu design was themed in an Indian locomotive style, similar to the actual Maharajas Express train in India. Once I opened the menu, I was welcomed by the fact that I wasn’t bombarded with a gazillion dishes to choose from, and I was equally impressed by the design inside and the fact that the curry’s where not just named by their usual names, but had the location of where the curry came from.   Excited by the sounds of a British Tikka Masala, I hurried along to grab my mobile and make an order.   The lad that answered took my order in a very express fashion and my foo...

Mmmm Maybach Coupe

I’ve always seen the Maybach as an over-rated Mercedes. Even with its amazing luxury interior, modern technology and such extras as the assist button which can be used at anytime to get help finding the closest Italian Restaurant or whatever you may be looking for. I prefer the Bentley Arnage or Rolls Royce Phantom when it comes to looks. But these are cars you don’t buy to drive; you buy them to get driven around in. Personally I’d rather be in the driver’s seat and definitely not to drive someone around, I don’t think they’ll enjoy the luxuries at the speeds I plan to drive. This brings me to the new Maybach Coupe. At first glance I thought wow; this is the most attractive Maybach I’ve ever seen. Researching further I realised that this is actually a regular Maybach 57 which is being modified by a company called Xanatec with approval from Mercedes Maybach. The car looks a lot like a stretched out version of a Bentley Continental. But unlike the Bentley which h...
