crime rateapparantly, this townhas the highest crime rate per capita in the world.
unbelievable.
so i tell this guy, who's a nurse (no its not a gay bar), how i walk home, and he tells me in no uncertain terms to get a taxi. dont walk. do not walk. hence the bollox with the bike earlier. he says he's seen people in A and E with their heads smashed in. great.
inner tubes
so im fixing this stupid bike someone has lent me ( i know why now) cos it has a puncture, and i fix the puncture, put the tube back in and , bang, puncture it again trying to get the bugger back in.
so i fix it again.
then , i put the tube back in, and its about an inch too fucking big! it has a giant kink in it.
well, i think bollox to it, and ride it anyway. it burst about 20 yards down the street.
so now im going to look for a new one.
bastards. bring back solid wheels i say.

establishing you're not gay
it seems to be if you meet a kiwi or an aussie bloke, and when you meet them for the first time, if you arent actually having sex with a woman in front of them right then , they think you're a bloody poof mate. you have to spend the next half hour making gay jokes before they accept you as a fair dinkum right footed player.
still, its quite funny. and they do it to everybody , not just me. the fact that i was wearing crotchless leather trousers with the bottom cut out has nothing to do with it.

fiesty irish women
try working behind a bar with 2 of them. its life on a knife-edge as anything can set them off. especially when you turn up wearing a balaclava.
all it takes is a misunderstanding and its instant death stare, which can put a man out of commision for up to 3 hours.

gulaassaw one, well, lots actually, today. its wasnt flaming though. still, quite pretty.
car alarms
went out on the piss last night with this girl emma who is going to give me a life to sydney via cooper pedy, the flinders ranges and the great ocean road in her camper van.
we were on our way back to our accomodation, and she needed a piss. so she went and squatted behind this car in a the bowling alley car park. it was about 2am, noone about. bowling alley closed.
about 40 seconds after she started, the hazards flash on the car as the alarm disarms and some bloke walks round the corner to find her pissing next to his car!

more signs
saw a great sign the other day at simpsons gap. it was next to a sandy, bone dry river bed. it said "No diving". which i thought was quite funny.

stupid signs
forgot about this, used a liter of "unsuitable for drinking" water from the campsite at red bank to cook with. the water tap was in the middle of the cooking area. the sign was 30 feet away from it at the entrance to the campsite. bloody great. good work! so have been worried about my arse collapsing for the past few days. but it seems to be ok.

bored of the bitch
someone has pointed out to me that everyone is bored of me going on about sarah!
well, dear readers, you may have that opinion, and you are entitled, but this is for me this diary thing. im afraid you may have to put up with more bollocks concerning her yet.
but not now.
nothing like that can enter my head at the moment.
things are on the up.
