'When I'm dancing on the danger line'

Went to see Duran Duran in concert last Saturday at The Sandalford Estate, only about 10 minutes up the road. Same place we saw Buble.

Just managed a swift one before going in.

Great venue, everybody sitting around picnicing and getting steadly sloshed.

You couldn't take your own grog, as Sandalford would have missed an opportunity to give it to you right up the 'Aristotle Onasis'. Very cheap white or red wine 15 quid a bottle!! and 330mm cans of Heiniken 8 quid a can! Robbin' b******s.

Our Wend and Libby tried to smuggle some wine in though, as you might know, Libby managed it, Our Wend got caught. They only confiscated it and they gave it back to you when you left.
Got home circa 11.30, slightly the worst for wear, starting watching Villa Arsenal, fell asleep.
Our Wend was not too good most of Sunday I can tell ya.

Happy St Patricks Day

A belated Happy St Patricks Day to one and all.
Left to right, Dylan (he is normally happier than that, honest), Rachel, Lisa, Brad (the tall fella) yours truly and Our Wend.
God I'm missing my Guinness.

Its Bloody Big

Just in case you are all concerned about the cyclone that has hit Port Hedland in Western Australia or the awful flooding that is in Queensland, you needn't worry.
Port Hedland is the equivalent in distance from Perth as Madrid is from Birmingham!! In fact, the northern extremity of Western Australia is almost the same distance from Perth (2742 miles) as Morrocco is from Brum.
As far as the floods in Queensland are concerned, they are as far away from Perth as New York is from Brum.
Yeah, like I said its bloody big.

Jesus Christ!!!!

Our Wend did a pizza delivery the other evening, only to be greeted at the door by The Man, himself.
Honest, full beard, loin cloth, sandals, scared the living daylights out of her!

He'd had a shave by the time I'd gone back and snapped him!

'Anyway Our Wend' I said, 'he doesn't look like JC', she just kept saying 'O God, O God, O God'!!!!!!!!!!!
Still v v busy here, takings going in the right direction, for how long who knows. We had our best week ever week before last, then beat it last week. Very time consuming I have to say, but it gets a little easier every week.

I did a delivery last week where the boys asked if I wanted to have a beer, which I had to decline, then they said I could stay and watch THE show if I wanted to, took me a bit longer to decline that invitation! Had to get over to Duncraig for another delivery didn't I?!!!!!!

This was obviously before the show started. Anyway how is one family meatlovers gonna feed that lot?

Talking about the pizza delivery front, we deliver to the most unusual places at peoples homes, some of these Aussies are strange. People sit in the garage next to their beloved Harley, Ute, camper, or classic car, or varying sizes of piles of crap, I have delivered to a guy sitting in his Scobby Doo type motor home, even people sitting in their front garden.

Yeah, and there was a dog in it!

Went to this v v nice house recently, tiny little dog greeted me on the drive, absolute Babe answered the door, I asked her if it was her dog, she said it was and I said how unusual it was that it didn't bark. She said 'O, he probably thought you were my Dad'

'O thank you very much' (that bloody hair dye ain't working is it?) 

'O, I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that,' she said, 'its just that there hasn't been a man around here for quite sometime'

Unusually enough I was totally lost for words, and I'm sure I blushed. Just really didn't know what to say next! Just hoping she orders a pizza again soon, got loads of snappy answers now!!!!
