You will know me when you see me... I'll be the one with the pink carnation

A few things you might not know...

* Backpacker cruises make for shit hangovers the next day... I think its all the English people in novelty t-shirts - 'Fuck me I'm famous', the more simple 'sleazy' or the classic pun 'I'm not a vegetarian but I'm off my chops'.

* It's quite an empowering feeling sitting in Kings Cross maccas late at night. Whether it be chatting to the guys from the year below at school that have made the lucrative career move of permanent part-time cocaine user or staring at junkies thinking 'that's sad... Remind me never to do that' - It's a great way to think you have over achieved... How does that song go?

* The bongos at Cargo Bar have a microphone in them (after the cruise, it's not like I go to Cargo all the time... God. I'm way cooler than that, I listen to music and go to late night venues that you've never heard of - Most of the bars I drink in you need to knock on a red door, then a doorbitch stares through a gap in it, decides whether you're cool enough then either lets you in or rejects you... Out of all the times I have been to these said bars if have only been turned away like 13 or 14 times, but I go out alot, and a few of those times I was with a few really ugly people...so). When I got up to play them I realised that instead of wasting the microphone on amplified percussion you could turn it around and yell things into it, it was bloody loud. Of everything profound or funny I could say to the entire bar do you know what I said?
"Brad purrs like a Wolverine" (to this I have to give a footnote-style nod in the direction of Roland Ellis).

* I have $1.77 in my bank as of this morning. It's actually not that bad because I have money in a different account. Still, a man needs really expensive pants and shoes.

* According to Chuck Hahn the James Squire porter ale goes really well with ".....Mudcake"

* I'm going to open a thai restaurant... I'm thinking of calling it Thai-burculosis, Clauds thought it was a Thai-ribble idea though.

tim: maybe if you stopped wasting your money on huge amounts of expensive sunglasses and cutting edge imitation ipods you could afford some high-grade columbian and party with us.

That was a very underhanded dig tim...A response from Annika perhaps?

kojak - johnno? waterworth perhaps? Unfortunately clauds is not the infamous 'fox in sox' of 1999 icq fame. Her name is pronounced 'claw-deah' or 'mole' while Clauds' name is pronounced in the manner of a cumulus nimbus -'Clouds'

goonbag: david that is your excuse for everything.
