Welcome - The best of 2010

In this post Ten Cocktail Bar is celebrating the end of another top quality year, with a review of the best of 2010.  We have the best of the FITC photographs, a review of our most popular events, look at the up-and-coming events for your 2011, what to do for the perfect New Years party, some of the top news stories from 2010 and we have a laugh at some of the best videos from the web.


THE BEST OF FITC 2010:
In 2010 Ten launched its photographic competition called FITC (Face in the Crowd) which has attracted over 1000 new friends to Ten's Facebook group, has given away over £300 in prize bar tabs and generated nearly 10,000 visitors to our blogspot, some from as far away as Geveva and Wesconsin, USA.  Our photographer Lukas (currently writing in third person) has taken over 3,000 photographs which are being used as profile pictures across Sussex.

Each week two people, male and female, are chosen to win a bar tab of £10 simply for being selected out of the crowd.  Here is a look at some of the prize winning faces from this year.

A LITTLE EARLY 'FITC' FUN:
In the early days of the FITC competition we were happy to poke a bit of fun at some of the more unusual visitors.

My personal favorite is one of the shots of our Kazakhstan friends (left) sporting his best cardigan, lovably referred to as the Disco Cardigan.

THIS WAS 2010 THAT WAS - HOW WAS IT FOR YOU?:

So much has happened over the last 12 months, whether its a celebrity going off to the big green room in the sky, or a film busting some blocks, this little list I've compiled should go towards a decent reminisce.  Some of these events may have by-passed regular news networks or media attention but they all go towards making 2010 one of the most 'productive' or eventful for the human race.

1. Jacko - over and out:  In case you didn't notice we lost one of pop's most infamous individuals.  It may have seemed like a viral fake but, the pale, dull, lifeless body of Michael Jackson finally gave in.  Sony jumped on the chance to buy all MJ's unreleased material and the rights to the outstanding work for a mere $250,000,000! 

2. New discovery at Ground Zero:  According to the April 5 edition of the BBC News, scientists searched a decade later for any remains of over 1,000 people still missing from the 911 attack which occurred Sept 11, 2001, and caused the collapse of the World Trade Center Twin Towers in New York City. On July 15, workers constructing the new World Trade Center discovered an 18th Century 32 ft-long ship (9.8m) hull in an abandoned riverbed at Ground Zero. 

3. Eruption Disruption:  There was a massive volcanic eruption in Iceland, making a right mess of aisle 4!  No one could fly anywhere, and Mrs. Goggins on till 6 said it was pretty inconvenient. 

4.  Pakistan Floodistan:  On July 26th huge quantites of rain flooded one fifth of Pakistan.  The resulting flood disaster affected 20,000,000 people creating the worst flood in Pakistani history.  More than 1,700 people died, nearly 3,000 were injured and the price of a Nike trainer went up a bit.


SOMETHING ELSE: 
Have you ever wondered why there are more visits to tyhe emergency room at this time of year? Well its because when we are forced to spend time with our family in an enclosed space, they will try to kill you. Not because that jumper you gave them was clearly knitted by a team of blind monkies, or because you forgot to get cards AGAIN, but because they are your family and they love you. Here are some little gems of entertainment courtesy of our friends at YouTube.com.
