Welcome -

A very warm welcome back to all our readers, and a happy New Year to you all. It is going to be an epic year for all at Ten Cocktail Bar and this post is going to give you a wee taste of what's to follow in 2011. 

We have a look at the United States of Ten and what you can see this year, a look at the events we are planning, we look at the resolutions made for 2011, an article on conspiracies, look at what the Victorians would've had on their Iphones.


EAS-TEN-DERS:
Just like some of our favorite, or most maligned soaps, Ten Cocktail Bar has its fair share of plot lines.  Here is a little re-cap of the story so far!  


At the end of 2010 Ten said goodbye to its Bar Manager and loyal subject of 2 years Darryn.  Originally from South Africa Darryn was always ready to turn his hand to whatever jobs needed doing; whether it was errecting a three storey scaffolding tower (which Dan and I ended up climbing and subsequently clinging to for dear life), repairing pretty much anything electrical and of course doing a great job of not getting new light bulbs.  Darryn will be missed, especially when we came to work to discover that the sink in the kitchen had emptied itself all over the downstairs, and is going to be succeeded by Goncalo 'G' Sousa.

Our little family here at Ten is now due to be expanded with the news that G and Dianne are expecting a little baby girl.  So a pat on the back and a baby shower for Dianne, and a little snip in the pants department for G!


The newest additions to our staff include;  Emma - Tender of much bar-ness; Tyler - Wash room attendant; Jac - Bar tender and floor attendant; Dani - Bar tender and admissions co-ordinator.  We hope you'll make them all welcome in our little flock.




WHAT DID YOU DO IN 2011.

“What will you be remembered for in 2011?  When you look back can you say “I was the one who…?””

Resolution | MMXI is a 6 day event aimed at promoting self achievement and improvement based around breaking world records covered by Sky TV and with potential attendance from ITV4.  There are two main events within Resolution | MMXI:-  DJ Ian Diggers Digweed will be pushing to break the world record for consecutive days spend DJ-ing.  Ian will be seeking support and sponsorship from Pioneer and audio equipment sources.  Also Terry Cole, who has more than 250 world records to his credit, will be breaking a world record everyday culminating in an attempt to break the most records in one day.


On a daily basis Diggers will be DJ-ing, during which time Terry Cole will be breaking records to the music and various entertainers and events aimed at achievement and self improvement.  There will be a schedule of daily events and performers.

The Finale will be a show at the end of Diggers records, featuring stunts and records by Terry Cole.  Members of the public will be encouraged throughout the week and in advance to perform their own attempts and this will be the basis of the entertainment. 

Local representatives from the licensing regulatory board and political parties will be contacted to organise and confirm attendance.  To provide support and to help to promote self improvement and positive actions with an angle of fun and entertainment for the family, group or individual.




WHAT PICS WOULD LOOK LIKE IF THEY HAD IPHONES IN 1900?

Well if your gadget doesn't have a camera attached its just not modern, and in the early 1900's it was only small boxes which came complete with a camera and the only Facebook our ancestors would be able to see was the Necronomicon.  If we suspend our belief that the Victorians were just a bunch of prudes who invented swimming, then the following pics may just have been found floating around peoples social sites - Previous the only social site these people may have visited would have been Stonehenge!

Monkey spanking:  Pre-Chat Roulette

Even the KKK got to have a little time off.

CONSPIRACY SCHONSPIRACY:

The Illuminati and the New World Order.

A conspiracy in which powerful and secretive groups (the Illuminati, the Bilderberg Group and other shadowy cabals) are plotting to rule mankind with a single world government. Many historical events are said to have been engineered by these groups with one goal – the New World Order (NWO).
The groups use political finance, social engineering, mind control, and fear-based propaganda to achieve their aims. Signs of the NWO are said to be the pyramid on the reverse of the Great Seal of the United States, inset, strange and disturbing murals at Denver International Airport, pictured, and pentagrams in city plans.
International organisations such as the World Bank, the IMF, the European Union, the United Nations, and Nato are listed as founding organisations of the New World Order.

Elvis Presley faked his own death.

A persistent belief is that “the King” did not die in 1977. Many fans persist in claiming he is still alive, that he went into hiding for various reasons. This claim is allegedly backed up by thousands of so-called sightings.
The main reason given in support of the belief that Presley faked his death is that, on his grave, his middle name Aron is spelt as Aaron. But “Aaron” is actually the genuine middle name for Presley. Apparently, either Presley or his parents tried to change the name to “Aron” to make it more similar to Presley’s stillborn twin, Jesse Garon Presley.
Two tabloid newspapers ran articles covering the continuing “life” of Presley after his death, in great detail, including a broken leg from a motorcycle accident, all the way up to his purported “real death” in the mid 1990s.

July 7, 2005 London Tube bombings.

One of the supposed mysteries surrounding the 7/7 attacks is this image, used by several news outlets, of the bombers entering Luton station on their way to London at around 7.20am on July 7. Theorists claim this image is fake because the man in the white hat – believed to be Mohammed Sidique Khan – has been electronically placed on the picture after it was taken. They claim that it shows his arm behind a railing while the rest of his body is in front and that the bar behind his head goes across and in front of his face. Theorists postulate, among other things, that the bombs which went off on the Tube trains were actually under the floors of the vehicles and not in the alleged plotters’ back packs.
