Random Radio
Friday was very strange... Turned up with Meghan B. to do the show as per usual, and just before we go on we discover that we have no needle to use the turntable thingys... Anyway, the second hour of our show, was going to be complete vinyl, and thats hard to do with no needle... So being the ever-faithful co-host, I went on a trip to find the cd... Being a hot day, It probably wasn't a good thing to be running around! I was buggered, but I ventured on... First hit Bourke St., no where to be found so I went JB HiFi in Elizabeth St. and finally found it! It only took about half an hour... But I still got it... GO ME!!! So I raced back to the studio, jumped on air and we finished the show with a tribute to Mike Oldfield, with Tubular Bells. We also got a visit from a bunch of high school kids! Very random! Yes, it does all happen on "It's All Happening", so if you don't already.... TUNE IN!
Drunk Dickheads
What is it with annoying drunk old guys?? Twice this week, I have been confronted with drunken dickheads, who apparently know everything in the world!! The first was at Crown while I was there with a couple of friends. A drunken old guy came up to us and started giving us a lecture on what is wrong with being gay! It was extremely random... We kind of ignored him, and he went off to another poor group of people... The second one was at Ash Balfour's gig, almost former guitarist of PFP... It was his first solo performance and I was there with Meghan B. and Skanky Jo... We were sitting up the back and this drunk old guy came up and started hitting on Meghan B and Jo! But the way he was doing it was quite random... Telling us about his ex-wife, how he won't sleep with virgins, his special way of taking people out, the differences between Meghan B and Jo, and how he is on the radio!!
Funky Fish
On Thursday night, we were at a little place called the Haven, supporting Ash in his first solo gig... While there, both Skanky Jo and myself where captivated by a tank across from us which contained three fish and a jet pump thingy... Every once and a while, a fish would swim into the jet pump and pushed back, having to swim back, and everytime one did it, we were in hysterics, and would tell each other if the other one missed it!! It led into very amusing conversations, regarding the little fishy's memory, apparently its like three seconds! Also, Skanky Jo was so in love with the little fish, that she wanted one for her handbag, not a real one, but an imaginary one!!
Great Gigs
As you may have noticed, I have been making reference to The Haven and Ash through this whole post... Well, to see what the big deal is, you too can go and see him...

Veteran Pillsbury spokesmodel Pop-N-Fresh died yesterday of a severe yeast infection. He was 71.
Fresh was buried in one of the largest ceremonies in recent years. Dozens of celebrities turned out, including Mrs. Butterworth, The California Raisins, Hungry Jack, and Betty Crocker. The gravesite was piled high with flours as longtime friend Aunt Jemima gave the eulogy, describing Fresh as a man who "never knew how much he was kneaded." Fresh rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with many turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much time on half-baked schemes. Still, even as a crusty old man, he was a roll model for millions. Fresh is survived by his second wife. They have two children and one in the oven. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
In the last two weeks, I have been to Geelong on the Sunday after Meghan B.'s birthday, then went to our graveyard... I had two of my friend's birthdays, Happy Birthday Louie & Danielle, had Danielle's birthday get together... Had a friend's 21st birthday, Happy Birthday Scott, and went to Spy Lounge with Louie and Jo.
The Sunday in Geelong was eventful, I was quite surprised to see that a club/pub in Geelong was packed on a Sunday night, and not only that, but apparently it is usually busier!! I also bumped into someone I hadn't seen in a while, who met Skanky Jo earlier in the week at work and had forgotten about her! How rude!! Anyway, she wasn't impressed...
On Friday, I went to my friend's house for her birthday... It was heaps of fun, I wasn't drunk, but fairly happy, and I'm quite surprised about how fun playing PS2- Eye-Toy 2 is, when your slightly under the influence! Also may I mention...RANDOM HANDSTAND!!! It had been a week, but still it had to happen...again! Random handstands will be happening very frequently... they are lots of fun, you should try them some day!
Then on Saturday, I went to Spy Lounge with Louie and Skanky Jo... It was a random adventure, being organized only half an hour before it began, but it was heaps of fun! Seeing that I had a couple of drinks beforehand, I was in a happy mood!! Happy enough to get up and dance on the podiums! As mentioned in a previous post, it had to be done to continue my show pony spirit!
Another quick thing about Saturday night, it was the first time that Skanky Jo had seen me in my pink top... Now, if you have read Meghan B.'s comment in a previous post, she makes mention of my pink top, and I thought I would bring it up now to defend myself... At the start of the whole "Men In Pink" phase, I was very against it... But when you go shopping with female friends, they have ways of persuading you to buy things you wouldn't regularly buy! So I bought a pink top, I only own one, but I must admit, it has made regular outings!
Anyway, that was my last two weeks, wrapped up as quickly as possible, a lot of comments have been left out, but hey, its two weeks in two minutes...
Stay tuned for my next post, relating to a random lecture I got from some strange guy at Crown last night... Extremely random!!!
Many years ago, a fisherman and his wife had twin sons, but they didn't know what to name them. The husband said, "Let's just wait. If we wait long enough, the names will simply occur to us." After several weeks, they noticed something peculiar about the children. When left alone, one boy would face the sea, and the other would face inland.
"Let's call the boys Toward and Away," suggested the fisherman, and his wife agreed.
Years passed, and one day the fisherman told his adult sons, "It's time that you learned how to make a living from the sea." The fisherman and his sons provisioned their ship and set sail for a three-month voyage. At the voyage's end, the fisherman returned alone.
"What happened?" his wife cried.
"We were barely one day out to sea," the fisherman explained solemnly, "when Toward hooked a great fish. Toward fought long and hard, but the fish was great and strong. For whole week they wrestled upon the waves, yet eventually the great fish started to win the battle, and Toward was pulled over the side. He was swallowed whole, and we never saw either of them again."
"Oh dear!" the wife cried. "What a huge fish that must have been! What a terrible fish! What a horrible fish!"
"Yes, it was, but you should have seen the one that got Away."
As you are all well aware, I am a member of 90.7... and i just thought i would tell you about some of my favourite shows, and stuff that looks good!!!!!

The one with sand in his shoe -- if it was quicksand.
As you all know, I co-host on SYN with the lovely Meghan B. Recently, two weeks ago, sorry about the delay in postage, was her twentieth birthday, and there is no better way to celebrate a birthday, than to go out and get shit faced!!! Or as other people like to call it... PARTAE!!!
Aim of the night... hit Mercury Lounge, drink lots, catch the last train home to Werribee, drinks lots and have fun...Overall, Mission Accomplished, plus a few random bonus ones!!
The night started with myself and Skanky Jo, waiting for the birthday girl to arrive. Arriving fashionably late, we missed the train, but we were given cupcakes to make up for it! I GOT A PINK ONE!!! The train ride was very eventful, gotta love the drunken bogans on the train, asking little kids about their sexual activities, but it wasn't here that the fun had happened!!!
Arriving at Mercury Lounge, we met up with another SYN personality Emlyn, "Yo Mama's 90's Revival" Tuesday's 10-12pm, who turned up really, really early... I have never met anyone who has turned up to a get together an hour before it begins, but "apparently" he was meeting friends. We were later joined by Debbie the Bloody, Her Marj, Quality Morgz, and Jess. It was a very fun night, semi-decent band, lots of alcohol... my passion for Pineapple Vodka Cruisers started here...
Now before I go any further, I can hear you all saying, Vodka Cruisers!!! What a girlie drink!! Well, when you are grooving on the dance floor, its kind of hard to do with a glass of scotch and coke, but I must say that it is extremely easier with a bottle... and the fact that it tastes like pineapple soft drink is even better!!!
Back to the story, eventually it was left down to myself, Meghan B., Debbie the Bloody and Her Marj, left quite drunk, with nothing to do... SO, myself and Her Marj, decided to show down at Galatic Circus on the dancing games...
Anything side story, I used to be an avid dancing game lover at Galatic Circus, whenever I had had a big one at Crown, I would be there afterwards, I know its sad but hey, I always win!!! Anyway, the dancing games used to be hidden up the back, so only people would see you if they wanted to, no-one walking past would be able to see you... which is great, because it meant that I was able to make a complete and utter fool out of myself, with the least amount of people watching!!! Well, the lovely people at Galatic Circus have moved the dancing games, so that anyone walking into the building can see the idiots trying to dance. Well, both myself and her marj, being the show ponies that we are... thought, or should I say knew, we were good enough to play on the big screen!!!! GO US!!!
Story cut short, I won, none of us fell, except for a few close encounters!!!, and we then thought we would take it up a notch and try the hardest level!!! FUN!!!!
Another thing that happened at Crown, which is now stuck with me, drunk and sober, is the invention of the random handstand... Not giving a shit what people think of my, I just thought what a place for a handstand, in the middle of crown, and Swanston St, and work, and the Werribee Plaza...the list goes on... One of my new goals is to handstand anywhere and everywhere!!!
Leaving Crown, we needed to fill in time for a couple of hours, as we were waiting for the first train back to Werribee, which didn't arrive till the lovely hour of 7:45am!!! So, we thought we would pay a visit to the lovely people doing the graveyard at SYN... We also bumped into the "White Lightning", Sundays 6:00- 9:00am with the lovely Stacey and Veronica... HUGE shout outs to them!!!
Leaving SYN, armed with an abandoned office chair from Bowen lane, Meghan B, being the birthday girl, DEMANDED that we pushed her down Swanston St. in the chair... In the end, we just managed to get to the end of Bowen Lane, because my stomach hurt from laughing too much... I think that at this stage, I was up to random handstand number 5...
We then crashed at the golden arches, abusing the McCafe chick to hurry up and open!!! BTW, Jade, the top gun gem from Hoppers, this McCafe chick had nothing on you... YOU ROCK!!!
A really long train ride home, can't remember most of it coz I think i fell asleep, can't remember!!! But all I know is that I got home safely!!!
Congratulations must go out to Meghan B., for, well you know what!!!
More posts on their way, i still have to catch up on two whole weeks!!!
Why didn't the little girl want to leave nursery school?
She wanted to be a nurse.
Warning: The following post was done while Adam Mac had a bit too much to drink... Please be prepared for typos and random comments!!!
Sorry about the lateness of this post but, i have been out and about last night "researching" for this very blog...
Please note that the introduction week has well and truly been cut short... Tales of late night adventures, drunk and sober, shall replace this... I'm sure you won't mind...
Anyway, back to me eventful Thursday night. As you all know, the lovely band Inferno, which i was a regular band bitch to on Thursday nights, has sadly disbanded, leaving my Thursday night very sad and lonely...
After a couple of hours of late night shopping at the Werribee Plaza, i get a phone call from Meghan B, asked what i was up to tonight. Both me and Skanky Jo wanted to go and play squash, but the squash courts weren't open, so we decided to do the next best thing, and hit the local pubs.
After finding nothing extremely exciting, we decided to go to the local Tavern, were the band used to play. Now a couple of weeks ago, we had all discussed coming back when the band had left and how we would never do it... but, we had to see if anything was happening at the place, so we decided to go anyway... Long story short, the place was a major disappointment... Just goes to show how much of a great band Inferno really are...
Afterwards, we decided to hit the Werribee South beach, a common past-time when we have been quite drunk... It is there that we play on the swings and do very random things... But this time, our trip to the beach was a sober one, and believe it or not, when we are sober, we probably had a lot more fun.
First of all, i was not aware that Werribee South beach carpark is the place to take your "friends" to and steam up the windows, if you know what i mean, wink wink... But as we turned into the carpark, with so many cars with the good old fogged up windows...BTW, sorry for highbeaming you and beeping the horn, it wasn't us, it was the car behind us!!!
But it is also at the Werribee South Beach that we get the name of the title from... As we were sitting in the car, eating our greasy fast food... we noticed a car pull into the carpark. This car then went to the public toilets and then stopped. The guy got and went into the toilet and then walked across the carpark to the pier and stood there for a couple of minutes, got in the car and left.... VERY RANDOM!!!
So, being the investigative type of people that we are, it was my job to investigate the pier to look for all the drugs that we presumed the guy had left... Imaginations run wild when you are sober and had been sitting in a car for about an hour, looking out in the darkness... So, Adam Mac got out of the car, commando rolled...yes, commando rolled up the pier... and proceeded to search the pier high and low!! Under benches, under posts, under the pier... everywhere i could think of! Yet, there were no drugs... We were let down, not let down as in we didn't have any drugs, but disappointed that our theories had been proven wrong!
So, us three sober sad little kiddies, decided to pack it in and go home... This is were the fun starts... On the way home, about two minutes from the beach, we saw the same car that was at the pier in a driveway... Which made us think, why did that car go to the public toilet when he lived so close... It began to seriously freak us out... And as great bloggers, the first thing that came to Meghan B.'s and myself's mind was, what titles can we post this under!! Alliteration was the key with this post, but asked why i chose the word dentists, well it was because it was so dark and we couldn't see his face, can you can't see any dentist's face!!! Yes, it was funny in the car...
Also i must apologies and explain this post.... This post started on the 8th of Jan., when i was drunk and only finished now, because i only just got the time... Sorry again!! Over the next week you WILL hear about Meghan B.'s birthday bash, Sunday's Geelong graveyard, Spy Lounge Sat!, It's All Happening Friday, and my other friend's partae!!! So stay tuned!!!
Two chickens were chatting around the coop. "That big rooster next door made a pass at me!" one exclaimed.
"Really? Did you provoke him?"
"Well, I egged him on a little."

First of all, apologies to everyone because i haven't updated in a long time. To cut the story short, i haven't had the time. Over the last week, my time has been dedicated to work, radio, and getting down and having a good time.
So, at the moment, I'm catching up with a hell of a lot of sleep... Believe me, I need my beauty sleep!!
But stayed tuned, and over the next couple of days, new posts should be popping up... A lot of random blogging moments have happened in the last few days...
BTW, if you wanna quick update on the random adventures of Adam Mac before I post them here, you can go to Meghan B.'s website, as most of my partying time was spent with her..
Q. Whats black, white and red all over??

Or you can always post a comment...
Hope to hear from you all...
Warning: The following post contains absolutely disgusting references...Not recommended for people with weak stomachs...but read it anyway!
Well, my question of what to post for today, I've started running low on ideas for my introduction week, was answered today at work... Today, Christie, a fellow workmate, and myself were asked to clean out the fridge in the upstairs kitchen... And as you can probably tell from the title of this post, it was gross...
First, I'll fill you in with a bit about my work... I work as a casual for a clothing company in Blackburn Nth... I do anything that I'm told to do... I'm a good little boy!!!
Anway, back to the disgusting story. We have two kitchens at work, one for the people who work in the front, i.e. Sales Reps etc. And then there is the kitchen which is upstairs for the people who work in the warehouse, people like me... Both kitchens are equipped with the works, fridges, dish washer... not that anyone uses them... and everything you can think of, well maybe not everything, but its close enough.
In the upstairs kitchen, it had come to someone's attention that when you opened up the fridge, it could talk to you... The amount of food that had been left in there to grow was disgusting! Bananas, plates of Chinese food, more bananas, sandwiches, eggs, more sandwiches, and more sandwiches... I was quite amazed at the many different shades of green i could find...
Now if you thought that was bad enough, imagine having to pick up all these things, chucking them in a garbage bag... lovely smell when everyone is out in fresh air... and then having to tie the bag up. It is very hard to tie a garbage bag when you have one hand holding your nose closed because of the fumes, and trying not to laugh at me and Christie dry reaching at the smell.
Clearing the fridge of all the smelly food was only half of our mission. In our combat against mould, we had to take out each of the shelves and containers, and scrub down the walls... Christie got the job of cleaning the shelves, and i was left to scrub the mould away...
The best thing about mould in the fridge, is when it gets wet and starts to make greenish coloured drips, and drips all over the place you just cleaned. And scrubbing out the little grooves that the shelves go on because they were a healthy greeny brown colour, that was also a highlight.
After taking out the mould in the fridge, our search for our green companion continued. It was here that we found the highlight of our quest. Opening up the cupboard, looking behind all the new food, we found some honey... I never knew that honey could turn green!!!
Anyway, after a bit of elbow grease, we had the fridge looking like new... or as new as the stains would let it look. Now i must sit back and wait to see how long it will take before it reaching that condition again... I'm gonna give it a week tops!
BTW, anyone at work who reads this... make sure that you don't leave anything in the fridge for more than a week, otherwise it could grow legs and come and chase you down the street...
Q. What will happen to you if you eat yeast and shoe polish?
A. Every morning you'll rise and shine
I know you have all been waiting with deep anticipation after I first mentioned this in my last post... well here it is...
As mentioned in my last post, in my final year of high school, I started Theatre Studies... which turned out to be my best subject... GO ME!!! It was there that I met the wonderful, ever so talented... Miss Reggie Miller... She was my theatre teacher, and she opened my eyes to bright lights of the stage...and I'll never be able to look the same way again...
In Year 12 Theatre, you had to perform in a play in semester 1... Our play was "Cosi"... and sadly it wasn't in this play that I made the debut this post talks about... That comes later...
Anyway, in "Cosi", I played Roy... a manic depressive forty year old who is madly in love with the theatre... Mozart in particular...typecasting really, thanks Reg...
For those unfamiliar with the play, it is set in mental institution, in the sixties, where a group of mental patients try to put on "Cosi Fan Tutte"- an Italian Mozart opera... Recommended to everyone...
This was the first time I had ever performed on stage, and it was quite an eye-opening experience... as Roy is one of the major roles... I got to slam my head on the ground, scream at random people, run around the stage, scream at random people, and have a bloody good time...
I surprised many people in my fantastic performance, well I thought I was fantastic anyway, and it lend me to doing bigger and better things...
This brings me to my first play ever done outside of school and this is where the post really starts...
When I was first asked to read the part of Tom at the reading of "Away" for the Werribee Theatre Company, I hadn't even heard of the play... yes, shame on me... The first thing I did was find the play at the university library, borrow it and read it on the train home... All I was told was that they wanted me to read a part of a young male, they didn't tell me what part, and as I was reading it, I realised that the only young role was Tom, which was the lead... I thought I was only going to read a small role... how wrong was I!!!
Anyway, the reading led to an audition, which led to me getting the role, which led to lots of rehearsals, which then led to the performance...
I bit of background history on the play..
Set in the summer of 1967, it tells the story of three families, and their annual Christmas holidays.
We journey with Gwen, Jim, and Meg. A middle-class family, who have fought hard for what they have. We also journey with an immigrant family from Nottingham, England. Vic and Harry have escaped post-war England to make a fresh start for their young son, Tom. They needed to get away from the rationing, and the rubble of war, to rebuild their lives. No regrets, but their plans seem to be turning to rubble, as Tom has been diagnosed with Leukemia. For these war-weary battlers they are again fighting for life, their sons'.
The final couple is Coral, and Roy. He is Tom and Megs school principal, she is a mother, mourning the loss of her son in Vietnam. Roy is in mourning too, but has decided to get on with life, while Coral is still struggling to come to terms with his death. Roy wants his happy wife back, and isn't’t coping with her grieving.
Along the way the families encounter several other characters, and battle the forces of nature, to re-generate after their trip “AWAY”.Taken from http://werribeetheatrecompany.org.au/currentshow.cfm
From Tom's point of view, the play is about trying to get laid before he carks it, hate to be blunt... but that's the bottom line...
Not only did I have to beg for sex on stage, but I also got to have a near passionate embrace with an ex-teacher, and get to swear at the top of my lungs... which leads to the controversial part... In the first scene I got to say "I hope you have a FUCKEN miserable time..." really, really loud... go me!! and when I did, someone got up and left... HOW RUDE!!! If they thought that was bad, they should have hung around for the begging scene... lol
That was my debut on the stage... I have also done a lot of other things behind the curtain, worked backstage on a dance production... how I loathe dancers who think they own the world, then my hatred continued for little pieces of shit when I stage managed my old school's musical... and then I got to find a new hatred for Year 8 Football players, when I ASM the school's presentation evening this year... Being a backstage nazi is so much fun...
Anyway, I must mention that Meghan B. was a co-star in "Away", she played a dancer, and a camper..."All those trees...". She is a fantastic actor, and I give her all my support in her future productions...
Anyway, enough for this post... hope you enjoyed it... I know I had fun...
A frog goes into a bank and approaches the teller. He can see from her nameplate that her name is Patricia Whack.
"Miss Whack, I'd like to get a $30,000 loan to take a holiday."
Patty looks at the frog in disbelief and asks his name. The frog says his name is Kermit Jagger, his dad is Mick Jagger, and that it's okay, he knows the bank manager.
Patty explains that he will need to secure the loan with some collateral.
The frog says, "Sure. I have this," and produces a tiny porcelain elephant, about an inch tall, bright pink and perfectly formed.
Very confused, Patty explains that she'll have to consult with the bank manager and disappears into a back office.
She finds the manager and says, "There's a frog called Kermit Jagger out there who claims to know you and wants to borrow $30,000, and he wants to use this as collateral."
She holds up the tiny pink elephant. "I mean, what in the world is this?"
The bank manager looks back at her and says...
"It's a knick-knack, Patty Whack. Give the frog a loan. His old man's a Rolling Stone."

Alright, the first introduction post is, well you guessed it about me...
For starters... I'm a 19 year old male, from the Western Suburbs of Melbourne, Werribee to be exact, but please don't hold that against me. I live with my mum, dad, brother, and two sisters... one of which is only 2 months old... I have lived in Werribee all my life.
I spent my whole six years of secondary education at the lovely Werribee High School, and I don't care what people say about public schools, this was a fantastic school... which I am still involved with (which will probably be addressed in another intro post...). I completed Year 12, my subjects were English, Methods, Specialist, Japanese...and for some randomness... Theatre Studies, and moved on to university.
I have recently just finished my first year of university, Arts @ University of Melbourne... where I hope to major in Japanese and Theatre Studies. After my first year, I made the decision to defer my course next year, so I can go on the hunt for a full-time job, and hopefully do I bit of travel...hopefully.
As I've mentioned in an earlier post, I'm the Vice President of the Werribee Softball Association. Not only do I do this, but I also play, coach, umpire and score... as you can tell, I'm quite involved... It takes up my whole day on Saturday... but I enjoy it!
Another thing that I have started recently, is co-hosting with the lovely Meghan B. on 90.7 SYN. You can hear me and Meghan B. on 90.7 SYN... Fridays 1-3pm "It's All Happening" and Every Second Sunday Night 2-6am "Nightowl"... It's lots of fun, we have a ball, and lots of random chatter... We have many random segments, and if you want to know more, listen to us... or you can check out the website (www.syn.org.au)
Thats enough information to take in on the one post, so stay tuned for another post to happen very soon, it might be about work, my controversial acting debut, or something else random... You can only see if you keep reading...
Q. What do you call a penguin in a desert??
A. LOST!!!!
P.S. I'm sorry for that, but I couldn't help myself...
Sitting back and admiring my blog over the last couple of days.... And I realised that all you readers out there know nothing about ME!!!
So over the next week, I'll be putting up posts all about myself and giving you some background information.
So, hope you'll enjoy...
Welcome to my blog... this is my first blog and as you can tell by the introduction... its all about ME!!!
2004 was a big year for myself. I started uni, I'm studying Arts @ Melbourne- for all those interested... I became vice president of the Werribee Softball Association... Acted with the Werribee Theatre Company in "Away"... Started to co-host with the lovely Meghan B. on 90.7 SYN ... Celebrated the arrival of a new baby sister, Keeley Meagan... Stage managed a school musical... Became a groupie or band bitch as my mum likes to call it... And well did a whole lot of other stuff, as I said, it's been a BIG year...
And there is only one way to celebrate the end of a massive year....ROAD TRIP!!!!
That's right, Meghan B., Morgz, Jess, Jo, and myself all squeezed into the Meghan B.'s massive car, and made our way to the ever exciting, always lively town of Loch Sport. Where is that I hear you ask... believe me you don't want to know...
After a massive four hour drive... highlighted by the occasional glance over the left shoulder and toilet break... we finally arrived in the center of Loch Sport... Why Loch Sport??? The number 1 cover band in Melbourne, "Inferno"... in my eyes anyway... were playing their very last gig. Why they chose Loch Sport... I do not know... Anyway, we arrived at Loch Sport, only getting lost once...thanks Morgz and Jo, and we headed to our motel. There we were met by the queen of all bogans, "How ya doing, love?", and shown to our room.
The gig was in a fantastic outdoor venue called the "Marina", full of lovely people, with really high drink prices. The band rocked, as they always do... and it was a fun night.
Anyway, back to my Loch Sport bashing... Sorry to all those readers who are in Loch Sport, but seriously, you have to agree.
Walking done the street to the gig, with all of us feeling highly overdressed... we walked with fear. Scared that at any second, some random person could jump out and shoot us with a shotgun for trespassing on private property... which we weren't, but who knows...
Arriving at the gig was even more eventful... Needing some cash, I thought I would try and find an ATM, which was sadly no where to be seen. The only thing around was EFTPOS machine, which I think is the only one in all of Loch Sport.
Then heading to the bar to see what was available to drink, and seeing the word "Coyboys", not once but twice. There are a couple of things wrong with this, the fact that it was the same on two separate boards, and that they had the premixed drinks right in front of the with the correct name... Its just wrong...
Bloody hell, see what has happened, its got my so worked up, I've turned bitchy. I have to stop talking about it now, and go and get some sleep....
As I mentioned before, I have started guest co-hosting on the 90.7 SYN, with Meghan B. (http://www.meghanbnightowl.blogspot.com). Check out her website, I'm sure she will talk about Loch Sport, so if you want another view check it out...
You can also hear me and Meghan B. on 90.7 SYN... Fridays 1-3pm and Every Second Sunday Night 2-6am...
A Happy New Year to all... and may the new year bring you everything you want...
BTW, I also decided that I would have a bad joke on every post I do... just so you leave each post with a smile...
Two peanuts were walking down the street... one was a salted!!
