Channel FIVE5

I've done a lot of random things in my time travelling and with that comes the oddest of tales. If you're eating,put your food away, I'm about to talk about the day I did a shit in a broccoli field. Oh really? Yes!

I ended up doing extensive broccoli farming for about 3 months, on 13 different farms in Tasmania!! It was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend it. Cutting broccoli for a living was fab.

Basically you walk down endless broccoli paddocks cutting as much broccoli that is ready as you can and you fire it into crates on the back of the tractor which follows you. Once you have started one of the rows, you have to finish it. You can't really leave half way through a row and you need to carry water with you. At the end of each row you can go for a leak or a shit if you need to. I do admit this is easier if you are male!

On this particular day I was working out at East Sassafras in the north of Tasmania. It was a massive farm. While cutting we worked our way up a large hill, beyond which you disappeared into wilderness and were miles from your base (at your base you park your car, eat lunch and there's even a portable toilet). At this point I was an experienced broccoli cutter.

I remember the date - 18th March 2010 as the night before I had partied in the local pub Molly Malone's with Chaz Fitzsimmons a fellow Northern Irishman. It was St. Patrick's Night.

The morning ran smoothly however and from 7am to 1pm we worked before having a quick lunch. Just after lunch and we had got half way through a long row of broccoli when I realised I needed a shit - yes it was ready to come out. Our boss was Rebecca Gaby and she was alongside us that day so I shouted over to her that I needed to go. So off I went - initially running all the way towards the portable toilet before realising it was too far to go, so time had beaten me...

Everything came out at once in the broccoli paddock and my trousers, boots and pants had been left over to the side. I tried using leaves to clean my ass but it wasn't enough so I used my underpants to wipe it and dumped them behind a tree near a fence. At this point my team came back up and appeared at the top of the hill. Half naked, I quickly put my jeans and waterproofs back on and ran back to continue cutting the broccoli!

It was a decent day in the field apart from that incident. That night, I obviously washed all of my clothes, suddenly admitting that I couldn't tell the difference between mud and shit. Don't Stop Living!

Help Plan The Trip With A St John USVI Travel Guide

By Kathrine Franks

Americans flock to St. John US Virgin Islands for their idyllic vacations: they seek and can find paradise. It helps to consult a St John USVI Travel Guide before you go. It will help you understand the wonderful West Indian culture you are about to experience as well as the laid- back lifestyle and fine cuisine. Advance preparation has been known to save many a vacation as it can head off problems. Plus you can set an itinerary that will help you not miss any of the key sights.

Travelers from around the world make St. John their destination, whether for a honeymoon or just a relaxing beach jaunt. It is valuable to note that peak season occurs from mid-December to the end of April. It is the busy season and as a result is the most crowded time on the island. Since it is winter is most parts of the world, people want to get away from sleet and snow. They welcome the sun and sparkling blue water. The climate is temperate if not warm, and it doesn't rain until later in the year.

Most people go, understandably, during peak season when it is winter back home - a time of snow and sleet. This falls between mid-December until the end of April. Tropical islands are warm and inviting at this time of year. It doesn't get cold and it is therefore a true escape.

Then there is the true off-season which is made up of the wet months of August, September, and October. If you hate rain, you must wait for early November. Also note that the hurricane season comes at this time between late summer and early fall.

A word about entry requirements: US citizens do not need passports. Apart from that, it is easy to fly to the island from major urban airports such as New York, Atlanta, Miami, Detroit, Boston, Washington DC, Chicago, or Philadelphia. Otherwise, you may need connecting flights through San Juan, Puerto Rico. You can fly direct to St. Thomas and St. Croix and enjoy the ferry service. It also goes to and from the British Virgin Islands.

Taking the ferry is part of the charm of travelling to his island paradise and is highly recommended. It is an advantage of sorts that St. John does not have an airport. The schedule is ample and updated regularly in the local media such as St. Thomas/St. John This Week magazine. Tourists find it easy to locate. In addition to the ferry, attractions abound such as the beautiful and lush national park.

Vaccinations are required to go to this area of the US Virgin Islands, and it pays to find out which type ahead of time. Immunization is discussed on the island's official website. Consult it to be sure of what you need before you go. Overall, it is fairly routine.

Heading to St. John means a wonderful vacation ahead. The guide will enhance your holiday and make sure you see and experience the local culture. You do not have to worry too much about safety, but it is not recommended to stroll alone late at night. Keeping vigilant will prevent problems and help you enjoy your stay.

Can Long Island Advertising Agencies Boost Horror Movies?

By Arthur Williams

Horror movies are popular; this goes without saying. There is a certain audience that enjoys being scared - or, at the very least - faked out by spooky elements - and the many films which have been released as of late are indicative of this. Strong marketing plays a role, in this regard, and I think that any Long Island advertising agency can attest to such a sentiment. For a better understanding of how this practice can be carried out, please read on.

For marketing to work, in this particular realm, creativity must be exercised. One of the most recent examples I can think of would have to be "Carrie," in 2013, and the coffee shop prank that was put on display. Those who were in the coffee shop in question became witness to tables and chairs seemingly moving on their own, which created a viral video that anyone could recognize. To say that this spurred interest for the aforementioned movie would have been an understatement.

Of course, this is just one example of how nontraditional marketing can be for horror movies. If you take the time to look through YouTube, you will see various pranks done in order to boost awareness. Would these films have attracted the audiences they had if those weren't carried out? It's hard to say, but the fact that these efforts were carried out shows just how important creativity is. In fact, it's one of the many assets which help Long Island advertising agencies shine.

One must wonder, then, how a Long Island advertising agency could push a horror movie production to the next level. One of the ways that this may be done, according to firms like fishbat, is the utilization of social media. It's possible that posts could be made about favorite horror movie moments, in general, where numerous people can stay engaged. Even though this may be a short-term process, multiple posts along these lines can have a greater collective impact.

Horror movies are popular, and this shows no signs of fading anytime soon. These types of films have a certain appeal, but they will not be seen unless people know about them. This is where effective marketing can come into play, and it's fortunate that it can become as creative as producers and companies would like. The more that you put into this, over the course of time, the more viewers you are likely to draw in on opening day and beyond.
