The Railwaymans Inn on Station Road sounds like a thoroughly conventional boozer. Nike Air Max 90 China Wholesale Paypal . The sort of place with a jukebox and soiled brown carpets, and a dozy clientele of commuters waiting for the 17.32 to Paddington. The Railwaymans Inn on Station Road in Chittagong, on the other hand, is something else entirely.Mind you, Station Road in Chittagong is a sufficiently different sort of place as it is. Its a long wide boulevard of the distinctly functional variety, with cheap and cheerful hotels lined up along one side, and even cheaper, rather less cheerful stalls and boutiques on the other.Its grimy and noisy, and tailored towards a transient market, with the average trip across the road bringing to mind that old-school computer game, Frogger. As you dither through the traffic, a constant stream of buses, lorries, carts, rickshaws and auto-rickshaws bear down on you at every speed imaginable, first from one direction, then from another, with only a thin brick kerb in the middle providing any sanctuary.If you time your run right, you can even tuck into a power-up on the other side, because for some reason there seems to be an intermittent but constant stream of banana-traders marching steadfastly up the hill with their loads strung out in two pans across their shoulders. Ten taka (10p) for a bunch of four, and thats breakfast sorted for another day.But back to the boozer, because frankly thats the logical place to go back to after a hard days hacking in the Chittagong press box. Its a five-minute wander from my digs at the Asian SR Hotel, through a fog of exhaust fumes from the endlessly revving engines of Chittagongs Bus Depot (from which you will be whisked on a ten-hour, 20 taka trip back to Dhaka if you drop your guard for so much as a moment), and then round the corner by the partially collapsed building on the left of the road as you approach the roundabout.If you blink, you miss the turn-off, because immediately youre plunged into darkness for 20 metres, as you totter down a muddy back-alley towards a green staircase behind an iron shutter, where a burly security guard is the only clue as to the riches that lie within. But a smart salute (and occasionally a palmful of baksheesh) earns you the right to ascend to the second floor, where a cavernous and unlit restaurant marks the gold at the end of the rainbow.Its not a lot to look at, but then Bangladeshi bars dont really go in for frills. Strictly speaking, alcohol is frowned upon in these parts, but frankly, given the run-ins the country has had with religion in the past, no-one actually gives two hoots any more. Certainly not the landlords, when they can rake in 140 Takas (£1.40) for a coke-sized can of Hunters, whose blue, red and gold emblem looks suspiciously similar to a certain well-known Aussie lager.It may be a seedy setting, but its a distinctly up-market clientele (and given that each beer costs more than the countrys average daily income, thats not exactly surprising). A large fish tank behind the bar is the only designated source of light, although with satellite TV showing everything from Bollywood to the Premier League, the venue flickers with a cinema-like glow.Except of course, when one of Chittagongs regular power-cuts kicks in. But as and when that happens, the conversation carries on without so much as a beat being skipped. As if an announcement had gone out that the 17.32 to Paddington has been delayed by approximately 40 minutes. And we apologise for the inconvenience it may cause. Air Max 270 Clearance . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged. Nike Vapormax 97 Cheap . -- Ryan Getzlaf grabbed the three pucks wrapped in tape and held them up to his chest in the Anaheim Ducks dressing room for a celebration nine seasons in the making. http:///...ina/ultra-boost.html . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season. MARINA BAY, Singapore -- Toto Wolff says Nico Rosbergs performance at the Singapore Grand Prix was the best he has ever seen from his German driver.Rosberg took pole position by over 0.5s in Singapore and went on to win the race despite late pressure from Daniel Ricciardo. The win was Rosbergs third in a row and he now holds an eight-point advantage over team-mate Lewis Hamilton in the drivers standings.Ive known Nico since 2013 and that is the best Nico Rosberg I have seen at any weekend since then, Wolff said. We have the tendency to say that Lewis has awesome pace and this is what we have seen with Nico this weekend -- he was just blindingly fast.He was 0.6s quicker than P2 in qualifying in Singapore, which is not something we are used to seeing at all here. He drove the race in the same way, he had a great start, controlled the pace and on the contrary Lewis didnt have a good weekend -- hee was lacking laps to find out about the right set-up [in practice], so he couldnt really choose the direction and that caused him to go backwards from then on. Yeezy Boost China Cheap. When he was told about Wolffs comments, Rosberg said: Thats cool words from Toto. For sure, yes, its been a good weekend for me. I dont know if its been my best or not, thats not so much of interest to me, to be honest, I am just very happy because the whole weekend went perfectly for me.It was such a great qualifying lap in the end and I started first and everything, but even with the battle at the end it was so much more fulfilling because I really had to nail those laps and get the best out of it because he was on course to get me two laps from the end. I had to roll out the best laps I could. ' ' '
