03.05 Lessons in Stalking (Part 2)

They'll be a flurry of post comings over the next few days and we try to bring everyone up to date with whats been happening here and what we've been up to.

As the title suggests we went to the meeting with Melbourne 30's Club last week. It was in this bar called the Trader Bar, where the prices of the drinks fluctuate according to whats being sold! The drinks were very reasonably priced too!

The bar full of city types but no sign of our potential friends. So we sat in a corner so we could see everyone coming in and waited. After some time we recognised some people from the last meeting, but that was all who turned up. We've decided that we won't be attempting anything here (other strategies are being devised!), but we'll still go to the bars they suggest as they seem to be very good!

Fortunately by the time they arrived we had to leave and head out to a gig at the Comedy Festival. This time we saw a guy who spoke about the history of swearing and the differences between UK and Oz. It was very good and it ended up with Joanna shouting the 'C' word at the end! Oh, the potty mouth! The gig was a very intimate affair and was held in another cool place called the Loop Bar.

After the gig we headed to another bar called the Caboose Restaurant and then headed back to the Lounge Room for more drinks. Woke up the next morning with some sore heads for some reason!?

20.04 Celebrity Watch

To be perfectly honest I'm pretty disappointed that we haven't been able to expand our list of...two!

I saw Sean Hughes from Nevermind The Buzzcocks walking down the street as I was heading to work. He's over here for the Comedy Festival. After seeing Ardal O'Hanlon at the 'festival I spotted Darren from Neighbours. That really is a list to be proud of!! I think we'll have to up our game a little!

You'd expect, when you live in a city this size, you might bump into someone, especially being down the posh end of Docklands! There are supposed to be some footballers who live round here, but we're not into aussie rules yet so we don't know what they look like.

Anyway, we saw another show at the 'festival last week of the 'Best of Edinburgh', with four acts. Unfortunately I didn't catch their names as everytime the mc introduced an act all we heard was muffled noise. It was very funny though. We have another show booked up for next week, which should be fun.

Love to all,
Nathan.
