Sat 11th April - Oh, to be a teenager again!


Another manic day. Apples everywhere! We even had the owners helping out - Jackie n Old man Con (the owner) were even doing the lines! They look shattered – see how we feel!
However, it’s Saturday night and we end up having everyone around at the hostel – Ponamu (a Maori girl who teaches English in Korea), Kris and Julia (the 2 young lasses from Dresden) and Yami (sweet Japanese girl who’s a nurse over in Japan) - such a funny night. However, this was mainly due to crazy Michelle turning up - let me explain to you about her – she’s this eccentric German girl, who wears these massive round bottle-top glasses and has a mass of crazy frizzy hair. She walks like a man and is uber loud – laughing at anything anyone says – oh and has confessed her undying love for Wiebka……poor Wiebka – unlucky lass!!
Anyhoo, we all head to pub at 10ish as John has a quiet word to us saying ‘time to go out with your mates now’ haha. He also tells us to use the side door as no one will hear us – nudge nudge, wink wink – bless him. He must get a right earful when Pat starts moaning about us ‘kids’.
Bad news……the PUB IS SHUT! What on earth!? It’s Bank holiday weekend!! So we end walking up the road to the old man’s pub! Boo, no juke box in this joint and all 4 of the customers look proper shocked when we all rock up. The bar man has to do some work now – haha.
However, it actually turns out rather well – there’s a separate room at the back with a pool table so we commandeer that room and make as much noise as we want! We play a few rounds of doubles on the pool table and laugh at how wasted Tom is getting. Kids these days!?
Everyone’s on good form, especially wee Yami as Dave decides to teach her rude phrases! Tom is bent over the pool table at the time and so Dave points out his Hairy Arse Crack. Yami finds this hilarious and types it into her wee electronic dictionary thing!
It’s all good banter….but pub shuts at 12 due to Easter weekend – raaaa!!! We pester the barman for a lock in (especially as he put the Liverpool v Blackburn game on and the reds were 1-nil up!) but he’s having none of it – raaaaa!! Everyone is in the mood for a party and wants to continue drinking, but we can’t go back to the Commercial as we’ll get a right rollocking from Pat! So, where else can we go but……the local play park! What a hoot – just like a bunch of under-agers! This is hilarious! We’re all playing on the swings and drinking our boxes of wine – I last for an hour or so and start to freeze my ass off – I mean, I’m in flip flops (they call them Jandals in NZ – interesting huh!?) Then it’s off to the hostel to bed!
