Away, away, on a holi holiday
Caught the ferry to Manly yesterday because, as any Sydney readers will know, it was a STINKEROO yesterday. I was sweating like Mr Moron in a Swedish sauna. So Em and I met up at Fairlight for a dip. Summer is here!
The ferry is the best way to go because:
a) even at peak hour it is half full;
b) most passengers are tourists who are chilled out and happy;
c) the staff wear boardshorts;
d) seagulls fly past your window;
e) you can throw loud American sightseers off the back and nobody notices.
It was a far sight better than the train this morning. I was so crammed in I got to know the guy next to me on a VERY personal level. But we exchanged numbers when I got off so it was okay.
Anyways, can't wait to take Em away for the weekend tomorrow. She deserves a humassive rest, the tough little worker.
Oh, and in case you doubted my claim about Spanish humour on an earlier post, here is this week's 'joke' of the week:
Un vampiro invita a una vampira cenar.
Mientras termina de preparar la cena, le pregunta:
– ¿Quieres beber algo?
– Sí, gracias.
– ¿Del grupo A o del grupo B?
Real translation:
A (male) vampire invites a (female) vampire over for dinner.
Whilst finishing cooking the meal, he asks her:
-Would you like something to drink?
-Yes please.
-Group A or Group B?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
How wrong I have been.

It is true. Ferry's rock. It is funny that you are in Sydney. You are the only interweb buddy I have that is in the same city!! I have grown to expect a timezone, weather, food and sobreity disjunct between me and just about everyone. Here's to Sydney and its bloody hot weather!!
who needs heat, when you can have sleet?
I think continental Europe is pretty much a no-go area for senses of humour.
It gets worse as you go further east, too. I work with an east-german and a russian, and every now and then they just start bleating like retards at god-knows-what. I keep trying to explain to them that they are twits, and what they're laughing at is not at all funny. I think I'm making progress.
Keep it up Ian! It is like the crusades!
Lil Brodie! Big ups! Your blog is both pleasing to the eye and grammatically correct for the most part!
Good show Old Chap, bravo and whatnot (emphasis on the whatnot).

Tangles: As someone I know would say, 'Why would you want to leave Sydney? It's the best'. I'll leave freezing one's bum off to those gooses in the northern hemisphere.
Mr Moron: I agree. Has anyone ever heard a good explanation of why this is so? What is the reason behind the 'humour void'?
Sis: After a weekend of no web and flat phone batteries, check your inbox. Also, check your postal box soon too!
