Advantages: Can gain you some dosh Disadvantages: Can lose you some dosh
Shoot is one of those games where a lot of money can be won,
or lost, on the turn of a card and in the absence of money, us
skint mortals have to use tokens. Any number of people can
play but if more than about 7 or 8 play, it can get tedious
waiting for your turn, especially if you have been losing and
in that round everybody else seems to be winning.
Put simply each player is dealt three cards and he bets a sum
of money that either of his three cards will be higher than
the card turned over by the dealer and of matching suit. Thus
three aces are not guaranteed to win if the dealer turns up a
suit that you do not have. I'll leave you to work out the

Advantages: Great Place To Shop Disadvantages: Gets Busy
As you will have become aware from some of my previous reviews I am not really one for trawling the high street looking for clothing items. I prefer the convenience of buying most of my items online, However on occasion we all unfortunately have to do this at some point. I had been invited to a party so thought that it was about time I invested in a new dress!! Well living and working in Glasgow the only place for me to shop has to be the Buchanan Galleries. Fortunately I always go very early in the morning to try and avoid the crowds and for the most part tend to be able to experience a good couple of hours hastle free shopping and can actually try items on quickly instead of having to wait in huge long queues. The beauty of the "galleries"as they are known locally is that they have a wide range and variety of shops under one roof ...
Advantages: Great location, nice rooms Disadvantages: The grumpiest staff in Spain
The Gallery is a hotel that I've stayed in many times on business and it's my first choice with my own money whenever I go to Barcelona for fun - but only if I can get a half-decent deal on the room rate. When I first started staying there about 8 years ago, we used to pay about £60 a night. Since the advent of the Euro and the increase in cheap flights to Barcelona, the prices of hotels throughout the city have shot up and this will now set you back a lot more. Just running a quick check on some of the price comparison sites, they were throwing up prices in the 200-250 Euro range, which in my book is a lot more that it's worth.
WARNING
***********
If you are thinking of a DIY weekend break in Barcelona you really should check out hotel availability before you book your flights. Don't bag a cheap EasyJet and assume you can find ...
