Sydney piss up!

[Tuberski]

I've been to Sydney, it's a great town. My hotel was right around the corner from the street where the homosexuals congregate and have their bars. Actually got gazed at by a man that followed me and a friend(and his girl) while we walked down the street. He followed us to a bar around the corner.

My friend and the girl he was with saw him looking at me and told me about it.

The next time he came by the girl threw herself into my arms to let the guy know I was straight.

At the time I was sort of upset, but know that I am older, I can think of it as a compliment, just not one I prefer.

The girl told me later at another bar, that if I had been as open the night before(I had a headache and was pissy) I would have been with her instead of my friend.

He talked to some old WWII vet while me and her slow danced to, get this, Faith No More.

Best part of Sydney, remembering I was in the Navy at the time, was that the bar we were at only closed from 1:00 to 4:00 am on Mondays for cleanup.

24 hour bars, awesome!

ACK!

Anybody got a boat? I'd love to go back to Aus, esp. Byron Bay, but I'm not flying anywhere ever again. Bloody fascist airport 'security.'

*SIGH*

You just have to keep trying harder. 'Shut the fvck up' might've worked in the past, but I think you're losing your TOUCH, Peebizkit.

Schooners of Tooey's all around! (Except for Peebizkit, the talking horse)

Send your hubby along.

[st_swithin]

He ain't my hubby. I officially divorced him by text messaging the Pope. Then I farted in his general direction.

Guess what? The Pope DOES poop in the woods!

FREE AT LAST!! FREE AT LAST!! THANK ME ALMIGHTY, I'S FREE AT LAST!!

I take it Sydney is the place to go. But I want to do outdoors stuff. The damn country is so damn big, I don't know if that is feasible from Sydney. I'd have to fly to another Australian city.

Sydney is a pretty good place to start off at. Its a pretty clean city, and the weather is not to bad.

As for outdoors stuff, its not so good (although that depends on what you want to do). The Blue Mountins are close by, and whilst they are nice, other places have alot more to offer.

To the north, starting in northern NSW and extending through Qeensland, are the great coastal areas and rainforest (culminating in the Great Barrier Reef and Cape York.

Way to the west there is Uluru (Ayres Rock), the Kimberley region (which in parts is absolutely stunning), Arnhem Land (well, North west from Sydney) as well as some amazing natural formations such as the Pinnicles.

If you want to see the outdoors Australia (that is, venture out of the capital cities) it pays to plan your trip properly, its a big and sparsly populated country.

planning was never one of my strong suits

I like to wing things.

What I need is a few million dollars, and I could just tour Australia at my leisure taking a few years if necessary

[st_swithin]

To do so, you'd have to BE one of the following:

1) Independantly wealthy old money
2) Independantly wealthy nouveau riche (that's froggy for 'new money')
3) A rock star
4) A movie star
5) An entrepreneur (more froggy for 'lucky dude')

You would also need at least two of the following:
1) A wing
2) A prayer
3) Insect repellant
4) A good pair of walking shoes

3) Insect repellant

Evolution in action. The mozzies and flies aren't even affected by it anymore. They will bite you even as you are spraying repellant on.

Just set a date I'll try and be there - Saturday is the best day/night for me because I have to drive up to Sydney and back on Sunday.

I suggest pub (but a nice one) followed possibly by an informal dinner at a moderately priced restaurant for those who want to kick on. Then the kiddies can hit the clubs.

Somewhere like the Rocks/Circular Quay might be good and central. Other options would be Oxford street or Chinatown. I like the Italian joints around Darlinghurst....Bondi has too many bloody foreigners.

You know, I was under the misconception that they just preferred Chinese food - like they get one look at me trying to run away and they all holler out 'Panda Express!'

I shall be arriving in Sydney next Thursday, so people who are attending state a preferred date. I can do pretty much anytime at the moment.

13th or 20th of September seem like potentials.
