Allo my British friends.. wot wot wot
Gonna work backwards from here in this update, thoughts a bit random today.
So, I just watched TV show, called Top Gear (do we have that back in Australia?). This crazy dude on the show decides to test the new Porsche Boxter against one of those Mercedes SLK. So first of all, he compares the interior, the exterior, etc etc. But when he gets to the actual driving - well, you'd kinda be expecting he'd race 'em around a track or somethin, innit? Well, this geezer decides that the obvious means of comparing the two is to:
- Take to an abandoned German military test site, which basically reconstructs a war-torn German village during WWII
- Bring in a team of sniper specialists from the Ireland special forces (with the wall paint, camouflage gear, proper guns)
- Drive these sport cars, full speed, and drift through these unbelievable narrow streets while these Irish snipers are taking pot shots at him from the rooftops
- The car that gets hit the most loses.
How random.
Oh yeah, then I watched Neighbours, and felt really ashamed afterwards (I also had a Fosters the day before!). Haven't started wearing me opals though.
The British accent rocks. There was this huge bouncer telling this geezer off in the queue for a club last night. He proceeds to start yelling at the rest of the crowd, and attempts to convince us he could be "Really `orrible", and " `ow we should really be scared of `im" (he actually looked kinda mean, but he sounded so pleasant!). So naturally, we piseds ourselves laughing and got sent to the back of the line (we had been waiting for half an hour). Seems like a Brit could be making all sorts of fantastic references about mum's sexual encounters and you'd still think he's just being a really sorta swell guy.
On 1 hr sleep.. went to Ministry of Sound to watch Groove Armada the night before. Ministry was a ridiculous letdown - there were about a million people there and I think the venue was about the size of Home. So you get all these tossers wearing suits and flailing around on the dance floor like its a bloddy rnb joint ... we also got ripped off but thats another story. Morale of the story ... fug you very much Ministry of Sound.
To completely off-balance that night however, we went to this ridiculously awesome club last night, and had a unbelievable time. One of the top clubs in Britain, but apparently tourists don't know about it? Somehow found my way home at 8am in the morning, bloddy brilliant! Kept thinking it'd be awesome to have all you crazy bastards over here as well - I think you guys would've loved it! What's everyone's plans for New Years? Anyone up for Big Day Out in January?
I also had KFC the other day (I also had the wonton soup I've been craving for about 10 weeks.. woot). I got annoyed at the napkins. They were about half the size as the ones we get back home, and they didn't really clean very well.
Was at Oktoberfest before I got to London, only managed 5 Litres (5 of those steins?) by the last night. One of the best few nights I've had - everyone was really friendly and really drunk .. lots of falling over tables, singing lots of German songs. I even went and saw a flea circus!
Ok hope this doesn't turn out to be all gibberish. Ciao for now.
