Raiders of the Amber Lounge handbag

| 21 Comments | No TrackBacks

It has taken 48hrs for my ruinous hangover to lift. After the race we all headed to the Amber Lounge where Jenson, Rubens and the Brawn lot were all celebrating, and where Nelson Piquet was desperately searching for Heikki Kovalainen, who had run away with his trilby hat.

Getting a ticket (or pass, rather, as you have to hang it around your neck) is always a fun challenge. They cost 375 euros, and the game is to hunt down a spare one that a sponsor has bought but has no guest to put it around the neck of. 

It sometimes makes me feel like a spy. I'll get a text from a contact, telling me to pick up an envelope from suchandsuch a hotel after 11pm. The concierge always has his suspicions as to what is enclosed.

I got the valuable microfiche, sorry party pass, but unfortunately my mate Will had been less successful in his quest. He proposed he'd just try and blag it on the door. Ok, I thought, tell them your name should be on the list and if it isn't it should be. 

We arrived at the Hilton Diagonal Mar, where the Amber Lounge was, and walked up to the bouncer. I showed him my pass, which was all good. Will then said "I believe I'm on the list. My name? Adam Hay-Nicholls."

Cheeky bastard, I thought. He was sent packing. But I did promise him I'd look for another pass. Once inside, and a few Martini's later, a friend showed me the contents of her handbag. Inside were not one but three unused passes. It felt like an archeological find. It was like that moment where you go into your grandma's attic and find it's full of Nazi gold that she thought was junk. Ok, that's never happened to me. But imagine...

That meant we could get Will in and a chap who's birthday it was. So I feel I've done my good deed for the week. Hopefully karma will reward me with champagne jacuzzis in Monaco. 

I'm counting on it.

You seem very knowledgeable in your field.

Is anyone using the Apple wireless keyboard on their iPad? If so, have you come across any problems?

I am wondering whats the best plastic carrying case cover for iPad available in the market? So far I have found a good stock at ebay and the local best buy

Some of you might think that it's easy to do and some of you might be completely lost. We are all different and with a unique style. Generally I can say that most of the women look amazing in women' purse that ends in mid-torso as it flatters the waist.

Product reviews can be a huge income booster on a craft blog. When you find that must have product that you absolutely love, tell people about it on your blog and include an affiliate link so they can purchase their very own and you'll get a nice referral income for it.
