Blah

so the metro was giving away what gibbo calls a “cronulla cape”….. an australian flag cape, as seen exclusively in the cronulla race riots. 4 tooheys and you get a cape. i don’t drink tooheys but one of the lovely barmaids was australian enough to just give me one.

watching the cricket, playing some pool, everything was going great…… and then holly starts on the shots again…. at least 3 chartreuses passed my lips. wasn’t even dark and i was in way massive trouble.

just as everything got real messy we had to move to the pig n whistle for someone’s going away do. needless to say i took my cronulla cape with me - obviously the pig wasn’t doing the same promotion as they took a dim view of the cronulla cape. stuffy wankers - they ended up evicting me. shame on you for being un-australian!

ended up back at the metro, and the elefant, and i think i may have even visited the gpo and the story bridge.

rumbled with angry at some point and now it hurts to lay on my right side

pig n whistle - YOU SUCK!

angry - YOU SUCK!

chartreuse - YOU SUCK!

my usual lunch venue across the road from the office is closed. they have been since wednesday before xmas, at least this week the metro is open again. anyway….. for maybe the second time in 4+ years i bought lunch from the cafe in the building. they gave up on trying to make real food about 12 months ago - now they only stock the pre packed, plastic wrapped “made in a sweatshop somewhere in inala” food.

i opted for the chicken caesar roll… almost broke my teeth on the roll, one of those subway style rolls and it musta been at least 2-3 days old. i found 2 slivers of roast chicken, no egg, minimal cheese, heaps of dodgy caesar dressing, and some rubbery lettuce. the bacon was those pre-packed “bacon bits”….. if you don’t break a tooth on the roll, there’s always the bacon.

and all this for 6 bucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

0.5/10 - the 0.5 is cos i somehow didnt get food poisoning

crap cafe in my building - YOU SUCK

crap sweatshop in inala packaging terrorist tooth traps - YOU SUCK

skipped the entrees and went for the main

some steak thing with a mushy base of something…. i can’t remember exactly, coulda been the beer - the point is the steak was BLUE. it was still *COLD* in the middle. i don’t mind a bit of blood, even a lot of blood, but blue is too much - for the first time in my life i sent a steak back…. and the waiter glared at me like i was some kinda gutter trash. fluck j00 waiter boy….. i remember when this place was the stabbing grounds.

2/10. steak was farked, waiter was ignant. the 2 is only for the table full of hot hens night chicks next to us.

pig n whistle - i’ve drunk here heaps but never eaten. long confusing set of events saw me there for lunch…..

pig n whistle burger i think it was called - it was huge. HUGE. good feed for a pub - and they had the cricket on the big screen.

8/10 - good feed, plenty of chips, decent price. coulda been a 9 if the burger had egg on it.

orient…. hadnt eaten there since the metro’s rise to fame - but with the metro closed i ended up there for lunch

steak sandwich thing…. it was big, and their skinny cut fries are good gear. the bread is a bit wanky - kinda like a crumpet….

7.5/10. lost marks for the wanky bread and no egg.

another year, another mortgage payment….. where did the “break” go?

thought for today…. 

google toolbar… where does it come from? i’ve never made a concious decision to install google toolbar - but it’s there…. and every now and then i actually remember it’s there instead of doing the ctrl - n; www.goo
