I will need to check in with the squirrels re: their production schedule to the end of the year. I can only hope it's not too late to order the merchandise for the Christmas carnation-coloured-home-based-tent rush.Kettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555996290361714986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479564812187394191.post-81111555824550424202009-08-27T12:20:31.711+10:002009-08-27T12:20:31.711+10:00Is it a carnation-coloured tent, Kettle?Is it a carnation-coloured tent, Kettle?squibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10744419106501810243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479564812187394191.post-85889167010985759162009-08-26T15:25:28.877+10:002009-08-26T15:25:28.877+10:00Gosh Squib if that wasn't all so awful it woul...Gosh Squib if that wasn't all so awful it would make a great Chevy Chase movie.

Realise we're on a part of the island where there is no cafe/restaurant. Paid a fortune to hire crappy rusty bikes (the brakes broke on one). Freezing bloody cold as not enough blankets. BigSquib breaks her ankle playing tennis. Someone pours apple juice on MrSquib's jacket and he smells like a Granny Smith. Get home and can't find a bleedin taxi to get us home. Sit in the carpark for two hours...squibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10744419106501810243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479564812187394191.post-47356836145419279492009-08-26T07:16:26.275+10:002009-08-26T07:16:26.275+10:00PS Squib, back on the mainland?

And just so it's absolutely clear, we should outline the fifteen reasons we can't stand the sight or sound of the word 'chillax' in our anti-chillax association's or league's anti-chillax constitution. That way we should be so well protected against 'chillax' that we'll never have to hear or see the word 'chillax' again. Cool with you? (If not, you really should chillax, man.)<br /><br />Good on you for giving up smoking. Now come join me in my alcoholic pickle.Kettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555996290361714986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479564812187394191.post-44697360090934292552009-08-25T21:04:48.808+10:002009-08-25T21:04:48.808+10:00good show!

I'd also be happy to set up a league, say the Anti-Chillax League (East Coast chapter). Or, if you prefer associations perhaps we could form the Antipodean Bloggers Chillax Eradication Association? We can iron out the structural issues later but I think we all agree 'chillax' is about as popular as cane toads.<br /><br />And Ms P, your mention of cocktails has made me realise my life is under-cocktailed, something I shall remedy this summer. I shall start the Anti-Under-Cocktail Association (membership: 1) and will post photos here.<br /><br />And EOakaMCL, do you mean the Vic on the Park? Near Marrickville Metro? Gold. I don't think anyone sings out of key at 3am; the beer must have distorted your hearing.<br /><br />It is dangerous and uncomfortable out there, Squib. My grandparents finally hung up their passports in their late 70s but I think at 33 I'm ready to relinquish mine. If a suburban train can't get me there I'm not going (and if that suburban train doesn't serve cocktails then I'm not even walking to the station).Kettlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05555996290361714986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-479564812187394191.post-44661509762009697042009-08-25T13:06:32.019+10:002009-08-25T13:06:32.019+10:00I am sooooooo glad to be back on the mainland, Ket...I am sooooooo glad to be back on the mainland, Kettle.

Matt WhatsisfaceMoran.<br /><br />i just hope you didn't get drunk on Buck's Fizz again and try to recreate that scene from 'Cocktail' - it's just not healthy for one person to love Tom Cruise that much.Catastrophe Waitresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16059689371446944502noreply@blogger.com
