Essouaira is much less "full on" than Marrakesh as it is much smaller and more geared towards western tourists. Having said that we had a fab time there. Stayed in a private house in the Medina. On the beach with some good body surfing during the day with some great shopping etc in the evening. The restaurants around the fish dock are very good value. The Thuya wood boxes etc are very nice and there are plenty of shops selling them in Essouaira. The road trip from Marrakesh is also well worth staying awake for.
DON'T forget to pick up a Mosque shaped alarm clock in the Souk in Marrakesh. The green or pink are especially fetching and they are very cheap. Crap at keeping the time but the alarm is guaranteed to get you out yer pit of a morning.

Having looked at the tossers at "Mother" and then the inane "Creative" at CocaCola I think they are made for each other. Utterly pointless drivel of an advert and a total waste of time in the making of it video. Off to wash out my eyes with carbolic soap to get rid of the taste. Might have a Pepsi instead though...

@dammit - you drill out the carbon fork for a brake or what?

Two "oh shit moments" from years ago.
The first the usual crisis when the stupid ejit driver opens his car door as I am fast approaching between the car and stationery traffic on the outside. Actually more of an Oooooooooooh fuck moment as somehow i got through the gap of what seemed like a few cms.
The second was at a railway crossing (remember them) that I was approaching at speed. The barriers were going up as I arrived. Just as I passed the barriers a cyclist on the inside pulled out without looking behind then and I ended up going face first along the road into the oncoming traffic after hitting them. As well as righting off the bike ( a v nice Sun tourer) losing half the skin on my face I also ground down several teeth. Still got back on a bike as soon as I could and 30 years later still riding and still shitting myself from time to time.
