Magaluf
Introduction
Following weeks of in depth conversations and research which should have taken place but didnt, 7 people headed down to the local Thomas Cook. I took a back seat in the decision due to my lack of knowledge in the possible destinations and it was decided that Magaluf would be the place to go to. We needed 8 people to come as there would be 2 rooms of 4. It almost turned into the Dave/Gladman/O'Reilly show but the latter was omitted as we searched for a replacement for Lee Mackey. To be honest John Monday would have been an equal replacement to the aforementioned, but then we stumbled across a certain Matthew Baker who became the last piece of the jigsaw. The holiday was booked for the 2nd of July, just says after the World Cup and the end of our exams. The brochure looked reasonable enough and there was great aniticipation to what was ahead.

rdoWednesday 3rd July
Some ridiculous hour - Hear loud banging at the door. Think who the hell is that. Try to ignore it. Banging continues. Ignore it. Banging increases in volume and regularity. Wonder how long they has been banging for. Rob is also stirring so we answer the door. Some guy is there he is called Matty. He tells us there is a welcome meeting, oh yes I remember that mentioned on the coach, so we go downstairs. Krishan and Gary absolutely motionless. Apparently Gary was sick in the night. We get to the bar, some reps talk about something. Feeling not too great, headache, very tired. Some nice rep called Sylvie offers us some 'Champagne' which in fact tastes like Sprite. I think the other room might be here at this point, or if not they join us in our room later. We hear that Matt B was/is also ill. Anyway she wants to know where the rest of us are so we lead her up to our room and she attempts to wake up the other guys. Water is poored over krishan which appears to have some affect. Gary doesnt appear to be moving much and will not take the champagne, but amazingly Krishan is now awake and sips it. I think we were told about a ticket in the meeting. Durden turns up and shockingly asks her to rub my suntan cream into his tatooed back. I look on in horror as Sylvie tells how she found steven reading a magazine. Durden comes out with some innuendo along the lines of what he had been doing before she found him. Anyway I think she is trying to sell us this ticket but we all need to do it at once and gary is still not moving so we tell her to come back. About 12pm - Matty is back he has got to be at a hotel at 12 but has also got to sell us a ticket. We decide to go for it, it gives us stuff to do for the next to weeks for a hefty 160 english big ones, or 240 european big ones. We try to tell Gary we need his money, he manages to reply that it is in his suitcase, with the key being in the safe I think. I take the money and the rest of us are all holding back the tears as we depart we our money in exchange for some bits of paper. Gary has spent £160 sleeping which is pretty impressive. We need to get some supplies, so me and Rob go to the supermarket. We get krishan some shampoo for 'thin/damaged' hair and i think we also got some pasta and sauce for rob to cook. Gary is continuously ill for this day, he cannot hold down anything including water. I decided to take a photo of Gary this morning in retaliation for the harsh picture of me at the Leavers Ball.
This picture was taken in the afternoon when Gary had still not got up. 
Krishan and Garys room for causing havoc and crashing out (notice the broad daylight outside the lazy gits) 
This is something like what our room looked like, except the beds were on the other side and we didnt have a balcony, just a window. Later in the day I purchase the hangover cure that is bananas thinking I would eat them over the next few days but I offer them to Gary and he manages to eat and not bring the food back up. Even so Gary decides not to go to the festival due to not wanting to drink. The first few nights, the italian was in charge of the cuisine. Expecting a quality spaghetti bolognese or home made pizza I was slightly dissappointed with the orange pasta which had been dumped onto a plate and then given to me. However, being far from a good cook myself, I was grateful for what had been done for little expense. This did not disguise the lack of taste of the pasta though, and after an attempted variation the next night involving ham we decided to eat at the cheap bar downstairs for the rest of the holiday unsurprisingly. 
Here Gary is eating off a saucer. Later on that night we have something called the summer festival. It starts at 6 so obviously the bus goes before then, however not everyone is ready and people want to eat so we do so then get 2 taxis to the Western Water Park where the first 6 hours or now less is taking place. We walk through the park, there are 3 arenas and at the second one DJ Carl Cox is playing. We listen to him for a bit, and get a few drinks. No one had read the flyer or the ticket which we could use for a free drink. The drinks were pretty expensive, 5E for a small red bull and vodka. There were a lot of people there at this time, and it was still quite light. It was a bit too early, and we had not had enough drinks to really hit the dance floor yet so we headed to arena 3 which was a barn with 'Live N Funky Soul'. This place was quite good but it was enclosed and not a lot of people were there. We had decided that we would go and see DJ Pied Piper at 10pm at arena 1 which was 'Funky House & Garage'. This turned out to be one of my highlights of the holiday, as the music was a lot different to anything else I heard on in clubs of Magaluf. The rep sylvie was also here looking nice. MC Unknown was doing some microphone coordinating and despite having an afro was very good as was the DJ, and Krishan was lovin it lovin it lovin it when they did the 'Incredible' song and he got onto the small stage. 
INSERT FLYERS 12pm - After listening to Pied Piper and MC Unknown we then left the water park and got on a coach to go to the second part of the festival at BCM. This is the largest club in Magaluf probably Mallorca as well. It consists of 3 sections, a restaurant/bar, a club and downstairs is a smaller club called millenium. BCM looks like this: 
The most important thing to remember with BCM was which way to go to get home. I never quite mastered it and you can read about this later. The club part of BCM looks like this: 
Once we got to the BCM square we found several bars and we took advantage of our 1 free glass of champagne in one of them. We were trying to stell Garys ticket after previous effots at the water park outside failed. The ticket was worth 30E and im sure someone would of bought it which Gary would have no doubt appreciated. There was an attractive girl in one of the bars, and Rob obviously thought by giving her the ticket he had a chance with her, alas nothing came of it. At the beginning of the holiday Rob was in charge of the tickets, and was clearly using this to his advantage which was downright disgraceful. INSERT FLYERS We eventually made our way to BCM, we stayed here for a while. Gladman got chatting to a rep from 18-30s who was not at all nice. This saga continued with Gladmans desperation becoming apparent. We stayed here for a while but the time came for us to head downstairs into Millenium and after a while the Vengaboys came on. I noticed that one girl was doing all the work but they were great none the less. I think some of the palma novans were here. After singing along to such classics as 'Were going to Ibiza' and 'Uncle John From Jamaica' which Dave described as awesome we went back upstairs. We were gradually dispersing throughout BCM. I was listening to Fergie with everyone else but we were all in different places and I was with some of the palma novans. Fergie didnt impress me a great deal, and after him I eagerly anticipated the arrival of someone called Lisa Lashes, but after about half and hour there was still some bloke playing rubbish music so I left BCM and made the long walk home. It had been a great night.
