catch up

Had a bit of a busy weekend, Dave and myself had been given a 7 song set at our local "Shore Club" in Manly on Sat night and we rocked the place for a 25min set! The Wednesday & Thursday before hand we had whittled down around 30 great songs until we came up with our final list:

We built this city - Starship
Dancing on the ceiling - Lionel Ritchie
Live it up - Mental as Anything
Nine to five - Dolly Parton
I ran - Flock of Seagulls
Small town boy - Bronski Beat
Summer rain - Belinda Carlise

I think we all agree nobody would be able to stop themselves dancing to any of them songs!

The following morning after loosing an hour to daylight savings we had to meet at Manly Wharf to go over to the city to watch Sydney FC vs Central Coast Marriners, as Gavin had secured the suite for his birthday. 4 hours of free booze and food is now the way i have become accustomed to watching sporting events, its a hard life i know. The thai green curry had a lovely kick to it as we all sweated into our beers for the second half.
On the way back to Circular Quay to catch our ferry back to Manly, we got enticed into a juggling show....but not any juggling show.

This west country bumpkin (mean't in the kindest possibly way as that is basically my neck of the woods back home). Was juggling a chainsaw when we got there. Gordo, Ry, Ben & myself were asked to come and hold his pole. As you could imagine we were a bit hesitant, but when he explained we had to hold the 12ft metal pole that would be balancing his bmx, so he could stand on-top of it and juggle 3 objects. We threw ourselves into the show.
It was very impressive as he juggled a knife, fire torch & apple 15ft in the air! But he took his time getting to this point and by now we just needed more booze or we were in trouble of hitting "the wall".

We carried on into the night, and i think it may have been around 10pm when i decided i would shave all my hair and body hair off when i got in....this made so much sense at the time i could not believe nobody else had thought about it. So i went home and sheered myself.

First thoughts as i woke were; wee, water & oh well it'll grow back. Luckily i had the Monday off work, so i could go down the beach to try and get some colour on my white bonce & in the evening go to the Bavarian Beer Cafe for Ben's birthday.
Ben went in to reserve a table & his first guess that he had 25 friends turned out to be a slight miscalculation as we scrapped 15 to turn up in the end. The Bavarian = Good Beer, Poo Food. Especially when your food turns up cold & a cockroach of some description runs out of Rodneys salad...as if we need an excuse to dodge our salads, but we now had one. Suffice to say the tip was non-existent.

Talking of bad service i sent off a complaint form to Hungry Jacks about the 2 chicken burgers i brought in MOULDY green buns! the only apology i received was "sorry sir there in the wrong buns, i'll get you some fresh ones"....its not the type of bun. ITS THE GREEN SHIT ON THE BOTTOM OF THEM! so hopefully some type of apology will be forthcoming. Free burgers for a year hopefully.

Gotta go its 2.35pm and we're done so gunna hit the surf!
