im having a life, i am here for 3 weeks..but thanks for your comments

Inselaffen

you found the strip clubs then!

arbroath_abroad

actually no, last night i was too tired and jetlagged after the 17 hour flight. I remember having a drunken conversation (after 3 beers) about Oasis to some garden seat salesman from Florida..

Now next saturday may be a different story...

You have Houston strip club experience Ins?

Inselaffen

No unfortunately never got to do the clubs there despite having been there 4 times.
New Orleans is a different matter

arbroath_abroad

especially at Mardi Gras id wager...

Inselaffen

nah, was a business trip where my client insisted on spending the entire night in his favourite club

arbroath_abroad

and being your client, you just had to go along with it..

Inselaffen

well it was a business meeting!

arbroath_abroad

the oldest business in the world...

Mr Moleskins

Ah Houston. Used to have to go there once a month in my oil days. We used to stay in the Westchase Hilton (which is very close to Sherlocks; which is naturally an English bar because it has a dart board!!).

I'd recommend Sams bar and Sams boat for beers (especially good when they have live music). City Streets is roll on the floor funny as it has themed rooms (tis a nightclub); so you'll see some 10 gallon hat red neck move from the country & western room into the R&B room.

food wise, I'd go to churascos (not sure of spelling but there are 3-4 of them all near westheimer) which serves the best steak in the world, or fogo de chou (again sp?) which is a Brazilian place and is really rather good.

thanks Mr Moleskins...

laughing about the dart board comment.....they do have a live band that plays oasis also...funny hearing a texan saying 'mad for it'

Ill certainly try these places...trying not to go out too much thou or ill return a fat bugger

Mr Moleskins

Yes - I had no body issues when I was in Houston! You know when you are in a fat town when there are blokes working in Hooters.....

I do seem to remember that there was a curry house very close to sherlocks (I think out in the car park but my memory could be letting me down) which was always a relief after a couple of weeks of eating slop at Papa's seafood, or Papa citos or Papa fatpot.

Despite what anyone tells you, don't bother with the space centre. It is rubbish.

Mr Moleskins

I *cough* believe if one were to ask a taxi driver *cough cough* to take you to Treasures *cough* then all will be....errr..taken off. It is like hooters but without the clothes. And the food. And the families. And the baseball on TV.

Or so my friend told me.

arbroath_abroad

being as i am staying at the Marriot in Westchase (right next to the Hilton). If one were to *ahem* happen to stumble upon this nightspot, can you please advise what is on the menu?

to eat that is......

Mr Moleskins

If you were to get out of your taxi, trip on the curb and lurch into Treasures purely by accident (as happened to my friend) you will find a menu full of tasty titbits.
