While the dawg's away....

Whilst I drag my weary slightly hungover self into work my rightful place in bed is stolen by madfoot. Is there no end to this ignominy.

Dry Hard 2.0

It looks like a steamer but it be the very opposite. At this very moment 1.2 kilos of fierce drying gadgetry is squaring up to the bonnets. Of course the bonnets know no fear, long have they reigned unchallenged as the toughs of chilli lane. But there is a wind of change a comin!  Yikes I think I should get more sleep.

No muy Bonita

Quote from the interview in the Metro

Didnt you nearly die on Everest?

I could have done. The lowest moment was having to ask for help. It's an incredibly dangerous environment but having to ask Sherpas to come from camp to help me down was the worst moment of my life. Asking them to put their own lives at risk to help me was heartbreaking -I thought I was better than that.

What happened?

I got a neck injury on the way down from the summit because of bad posture and carrying the backpack. My neck froze up, I couldn't move it and it became painful to walk. It was late in the day with bad weather. Thats when I had to call for help and radio the Sherpas.

Were you conscious?

Yes. there have been stories saying I was unconscious and close to death but I was awake through the whole thing and walked into camp that night.

I know it was for charity and all so I cannot slag her too much. This part just jumped out at me though, gdidnt she just get a bit of a sore neck? whats with the nearly dying nonsense? Poor little rich kid.

Out tech'd!!!!!

A horrifying case of being out tech'd by my chica. I feel slightly cheap and worthless now ;0) Who would have thought that an accidental phone dropping would have led to such shame!

Slouch - Bar of Kings!!

Fortunately after the bizarre slidy eyed-ness of the staff in the saint we found this wee pub which had smashing music, cool cocktails and cheery staff, yay!

The Saint, possibly the crappiest joint in town.

I do not think I have ever received such poor table service. Twenty minutes watching the girl grudgingly serve some one who just about rugby tackled her for attention. Then she gothwalked between tables desperately trying not to catch anyone's eye. So frantic was she to not to look at me before I left she was readying to spoon out her eyes so she could hide them in a box.

Blurring the lines

Honest I have no idea sometimes how just a respectable wee drink in shawlands turns into screaming insanity and donner kebab pizzas.

Hangover cure
