Yay, Wales!
It's not enough to keep me awake though.

I think so, yeah. What'd you have, four glasses of port, a bit of vodka and some red, that right? Not bad - a few cups of port really does me in. [/B]
I'm sort of pissed off. I'm back in Minlaton and went over to a mate's place and asked him if anything was going on there tonight (usually there is), he said there probably would be, it's complicated - he and some others went over to another nearby town to get a bunch of people to come over, but as far as I can tell they're still over there. Wouldn't be surprised if they show up when I'm about to go to bed. Fucking annoying, though. Especially since all I really wanted to do was score pot from someone there.
Yep. Also had this huge cup of a mix Fellow Albino Railfan made - lemonade, red cordial, and vodka. That was ... interesting. I was concerned about how scullable it was!
Surprised I didn't get substantially drunk. But god, I love port. Had a bit more this evening just because I like the taste so much.
I was also joking last night that vodka seems like it will be this winter's cheap solution to heating ... [/b]
Bah, complicated social stuff is too much of a hassle. My solution is usually just to tell people precisely what I think and then do what suits me best! As for you, you should just be in Melbourne already and have come to U2 3D!
Incidentally, Bonnie, be proud: the port I bought yesterday is from the Barossa Valley.
Hey Bonnie, how about the fucking awesome public transportation programme announced in the South Australian budget? I'm very jealous, I assure you.
You think that's interesting? Wait til you try iced coffee mixed with chardonnay. Or one of those drinks where it's a group effort and everyone just puts whatever they want into the bottle (rum, vodka, tabasco, coffee, whiz fiz, pot etc.) and some lucky bastard gets to drink it. Actually, you might genuinely want to wait for that.
Port is delicious, I'm glad you like it, it's one of my favourite drinks too.
Yeah, well - that's really difficult with a lot of my friends. Nigh on impossible. In comparison to some of them, I'm almost organised.
I must say, I feel mixing any wine with any kind of coffee feels like such a waste of perfectly good wine. And next time we have a booze-up, maybe we'll try doing some kind of group effort! That sounds like it has potential for lulz. Speaking of our next booze-up, we were thinking we'd have to get something with an even higher alcoholic content than vodka next time, and Fellow Albino Railfan and I were a bit worried when we both blurted out absinthe at the same time. Neither of us have anything to properly serve absinthe though.
As for port, it's just a shame that I can't exactly afford the very best, i.e. vintage port.
I'm kind of fond of the reputation I've cultivated as a bit of a mild arsehole. It means that my friends EXPECT me to be bluntly honest - and are bluntly honest to me as well. Less difficulty in social relations.
I'm not up to date with this - details?
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing - you should try something like that! I'd almost suggest we did one while I'm around, though that may not be the wisest of ideas!
As for absinthe - well, you don't have to go to a higher spirit immediately, perhaps you just need something different to vodka that's also around the 40% mark, if not in slightly higher quantities. Though serving absinthe correctly is of course part of the fun, you can drink it just fine with cold water and a drop of sugar shaken in. You could try shots too, but... well, you probably don't want to do that.
Whoa, cool! I'm surprised they'd go with something like this, public transport isn't really one of the strongpoints here.
Would be nice if there was another tram going down south (possibly Noarlunga, Blackwood or Marion?) but that's still neat.
Sweet jesus, check out this quote from some guy at u2torrents.com:
(on Syracuse JT video)
"That's right! This is not recorded for Rattle and Hum. If you see the date, is it from 'The Joshua Tree Tour' in 1987. Rattle and Hum was recorded on 'Lovetown Tour' in 1989. So the conclussion is clear.. "
Fuck me, if you're going to go download bootlegs of a band, you'd reckon you'd have a basic idea of their history.
Must admit, it seems we have intentions to do plenty of things when you get here, but how much will actually get done! We need to hammer out some plans in the coming week; I think this is one of those times when having stuff determined nicely in advance would be really helpful. Plus it means we might be able to get U-Wen in on more stuff!
The whole "we need something with a higher alcoholic content" thing came from one of the guys who was a bit of an alcohol n00b, who was impressed by the alcoholic content of vodka and wondered what out there is stronger; that discussion evolved into "yeah, let's get something stronger next time!" I actually liked the straight vodka, and the others were impressed when I went back for more after my first little bit! Having proper glasses would've helped; it seemed a bit odd drinking vodka out of a wine glass.
Plus, I've got to admit, I'm quite curious about absinthe. It sounds interesting, especially the proper serving method.
OK, I could really use some sleep. Have a good one!
Apparently Family First managed to convince parliament to launch an inquiry into passenger rail and the possibility of reintroducing regional passenger trains. I've seen a lot of people criticise that though; they think it's sheer populist politics from Family First that ignores the real issues of getting more freight onto rail first, then reintroducing passenger services. Not being familiar with the details of SA's transport network, I don't have an opinion, but I see anything in favour of public transport to be a positive step. Looks like SA may have reached a turning point; just wish VIC would. Sure, we've got everything that's only now being started in SA, but Melbourne's a much bigger city and the same problem of transport inadequacy is present here and we need a project of similarly large scope to rectify decades-old problems.
I note there's also a plan to reserve land for a possible rail extension to Aldinga/Seaford; not being familiar with Adelaide geography, I've no idea where that is, so would something like that help out down south, or is it totally in another direction?
