I hear that good Doctor Yobbo will be in Brisneyland on 14 december, and feeling thirsty. I wonder how many other burgers might be about on that day or eve for a Christmas catch up.
Also, I’m back at Pucka in mid Feb for another force development day. So I’ll may jet down early if there’s interest in a Melbourne gig. Say, Sunday 14 Feb.
Must admit, I didn’t see them putting Abbott “down pit”, but there you have it.
Then again, there’s Clive Hamilton,meant to be **Green** and he’s a dreadful social conservative who supports internet censorship! I do wonder the fate of blogs like The Burger if that ever happened. A tad hysterical of me, I know, but so many milque-toasts with their purse-lipped society-anxiety getting an even break… as a friend of mine years ago used to say “a fuck and a green apple would kill them stone dead”
Ausgaz, are we talking footwear or arsefloss?
Does JB get a penalty for failing to foresee that Abbott would lead the charge against El Bulli and come out on top?
I’m just waiting for Abbott to tell some blind guy to look out where in the fuck he’s walking.
I’d love to join you all in the evening in Brissie. If I can overcome my shyness. I have been known to turn up for functions, sit in the car for an hour then turn tail and run.
Quokka
If you were to show up in arsefloss (nice word that) it certainly would liven up the conversation I expect.
Shy? Oh please. You weren’t shy when we had that weekend in Paris.
Mayhem I’m sending my Robot Double.
She lives in a hollow tree in the backyard.
I save her for just such occasions as these.
She’s socially awkward and tends to throw punches when the boys pull her plaits but it means I can dodge responsibility for whatever stupid FKN thing she does while I’m at home stuffing mince pies.
This year her chip suffered some damage in the Zombie Dust storms.
I won’t be held responsible for anything she may say or do.
I suggest you hotfoot it to Bunnings and get yourself one before the rush for Dec 14.
Ausgaz I’ll do up my mullet in a bow with it, just for you.
I hereby draft the Right Honorable Tony Abbot for the Australian Diving team. His most recent press conference with the exceptional quadruple backflip and 3 and a half twist was world standard. Joe Hockey gets an honourable mention for a great pike.
There . . .
Someone had to say it.
PNB: Never shy in Paris with adorable men.
Quokka: I hate Bunnings, but now that I know they have something useful, I will call in on my way home from work. Thanks for the tip. By the way, does it matter what sort of tree? I will need to hollow one out for her.
Mine lives in the neighbour’s nut tree.
And don’t go to all that hard work, these robot doubles come with superpowers so she can do it herself.
Their one flaw is that they have no clue how to turn off the electric smoke alarm when it starts pipping.
I think she shorted a few extra fuses before I hit the FKN thing with a mallet.
THAT put an end to the FKN chirping.
I can’t enjoy Abbott in charge without Costello at his side.
Quokka, many thanks, I really am hoping that I have the guts to show up. As long as nobody invites my Mum.
My robot double will know how to deal with her.
Promise? I wish to goodness someone would. Maybe it’s worth inviting her, just so she can be dealt with?
No, no Mayhem. No need to invite “her”.
I thought she had tickets for a P&O cruise with Greybeard and NBob.
ALD: you have a problem with my Mum? Have you met “her”?
Quokka: LOL! Would loooove to be a fly on the wall for that one. Has Greybeard returned from hiding overseas yet?
I have no problem with anything.
If you had met my mum you would.
So when are we doing this?
West End is full of FKN party people. Whoever said we should book early is probly right.
Right looks like Ouzeri, Monday 14th. Headcount = lots. Can someone who’s not in New Zealand find out whether this is possible pls?
According to their website they are open Mondays.
I’ll be out till 6pm but can call them later if nobody else does it first.
I’ll set up a headcount thread tonite and book tomorrow.
Damn, I just said yes to a bloody vital biz lunch on the 14th. Damn damn damn, oh bugger it, fuck fuck and double fuck!!!!
Might be able to do the evening if I can manage to stay sober over lunch.
“Can someone who’s not in New Zealand find out whether this is possible pls?”
You mean like PNB, or Jenn?
Tuesday is also an option for me if we find more ppl can make Tues than Mon. I believe the touch footy playing feral farmer has Monday issues (if not Mondayitis.)
I have a Felafel rehearsal on the Tuesday night Doc – so if you wanted something to do that night you could always come and have a look-see there too. ;)
Good.
Being helpful and organized goes against my nature.
I am in. And may I put a vote in for Teneriffe ? Cos I can walk then. Selfish much ?
No dessert and an extra 10,000 steps for the Monster.
Hold crap QUOKS. You’re more vigilant than a twitchy Vietnam vet.
Monday night it will be. Hughesy, I’m disappointed. Whatever happened to the Annette of the 18 Hour Liquid Lunch? You can crash at our place in the guest lodge if you need to. The G-Man too, natch.
Oh I’ll be there on the Monday but will have to temper my intake and will probably miss any feed, which means you’ll be writing it up for MF, you slack arsed cockroach
My PC at home is playing up, so if I miss the headcount thread, please count me in.
might pay to ask who’s silly season budget are we blowing here …. neva neva know the deathstar might be tryin’ to make amends or sometin’.

AND they don’t have granpa serves or pensioner discounts or waitress’s in tartan mini’s, i’ve called and asked.
i did a get a slight whiff of ouzo outta the hands free and i have a sneaky suspicion i can cook better than these guys after those few misleading questions. e.g. what is unborn calf called ….? how many chips per $5.90 serve?
- the more i think about it the better a longneck of home brewed stout in a CHILLED heifer glass (at a whopping $1.14 per bottle) on the black sapote garden lawn sounds.
- a well over two hour round trip for a very expensive beer or two, and apart from the realtime thang is probably more trouble than it’s worth.
…. apologies about all that, i’m a wee bit grumpy havin’ slugged it all the way out to near t’woomba and back for fkn sweet frack all. fkn queenslanders. BAH v.
Still drooling over the mixed grill.
Hmm, is that the menu? I might have to do some research on a possible vegetarian option for The Wah….
“you gotta be fkn kidding when they charge 5. fkn dollars and 90 fkn cents for a “plate”, no quantity mentioned, of fkn chips probably deep fried in 6 month old lard, individually counted to six max and served by an underpaid apprentice chef with a dandruff problem.”
Best tasting chips in the world! Don’t even need seasoning!
And I’m game for lamb cutlets
Mmm, mixed grill for me, will have to see what’s good for Mrs Damian. By an interesting coincidence my work xmas do will have been at the Greek Club on the 11th…
GC – not as difficult as Greek restaurant visits past… I remember when the nearest equivalent to chips in a Greek restaurant was battered whitebait.
Thats the “menu” … if you can call it that.
s’pose it’s just acceptable for greece a’la aussiestyle with obvious predominance of cheap, tenderized mutton cuts and flavoured fkn balls.
but like to see ‘em get away with that rubbish on the peloponnese, the plaka or even iraklion.
- they’ve obviously learned about chicken salt and MSG.
neva been into oily pita chips but then absolutely nothin’ beats my hand made montreal style “le chip de mule” read: pommes but more like “poutine” without the fried shit.
i now declare it beer o’fkn clock. v.
Sounds interesting – I too have a degree of Mayhem’s shyness, but as a longtime Bluntarian, relative newburger and somewhat occasional poster it’d be nice to put faces to some of the names.
No it wouldn’t be, Timmo. It is awful.
Beeso- any writeup for MF will likely consist of the link to the BBQ argument on Blunty followed by some Havock-style indecipherable gibberish fuelled by one too many Efes Pilsen. It’s you iPhone crack-whores who can catalogue the goings on, I’d much rather be participating than recording.
Virty – I know it’s been a while since the 60s, and finding two working neurons to rub together is getting grim – but who the fuck would go to a Greek restaurant and order chips?
Me, I’ll have one of everything thanks.
Us.
We order the chips.
Or whitebait, as the case may be.
GC I think there’s a veggo pasta.
Nat – close.
RAAF pilot’s daughter.
The twitchiness is hardwired. And I think I still have the hangover from the moment of my conception. :)
