My raw meat and mint cocktail weekend

My weekend was quite good. I actually managed to get out of my room for more that 3 hours. Friday I went out for dinner and some beers with some of my friends (Coenraad, Annalet and Carole). We actually got together to make some plans to go to Prague for a weekend in November ’05. Dinner was in an Italian restaurant in brick lane called furnace. The food was interesting, Annalet and I ordered “Carpaccio e Funghi” which I forgot translated into RAW fillet meat sliced into fine slices with mushrooms, salad and cheese. I actually had it before in Rome and it was really not too bad. But poor Annalet was not impressed :- After dinner we went out for a drink or two in some club down the road. It was it turned out to be a really good evening

Saturday Dirk, Storm and I joined house 47 (a bunch of girls that stay up the road from us in number 47 Dunbar Road) for some drinks in central London. Of coarse Jaco(die klein meisie) dropped us at the last second and spent a romantic evening with his new computer. The evening got off to a rocky start when we kept on having to wait for the girls to get ready. We finally got everyone out of the house and went for some dinner in Phil’s pub and then we went out to a “pub/club” where one of the girls from house 47 works.

This turned out to be a very alcoholic evening because most of the drinks were for free. At some stage I was drinking some cocktail that looked and tasted like someone stuck a big bush of Peppermint Plant and any other random green vegetation into a blender and then added some vodka(from that point on everything got a little bit blurry). Anyway everyone got very drunk and had a really good time. There was a bit of “alcohol induced toying with emotions” going on but the phenomenon soon faded when we started our hour and a half journey back home at 3 in the morning.

No doubt exists that all women are crazy. It's just a question of degree.

Sunday was basically spent recovering and watching movies and reading some rude comments on my blog. "St Willem" as he likes to call himself has been posting shit about my blog so I think it is some time for “smack talk” (as Jaco would say). Comments like "ja, rolf se site suig..." (Rolfs’ site sucks) and "ek het amper f##### (dis nou f*kk*l) verstaan wat jy daar geskryf het" (I can’t read you English) is a bit uncalled for.

Anyway old Willem aka “Dagga” (means weed… wonder where that name comes from) is now staying in Pretoria and has been making a career out of studying. I’m not even sure how many courses he started in the last 6 year but I think it is around 3 and his last one (I think) is something like dentistry (Scary knowing that his nick name is WEED).

Old dagga is a big blue bulls fan and his team lost this Saturday against the cheetahs. Oh well maybe next year.

If you understand Afrikaans go check out his blog (http://diebetterbrielie.blogspot.com/) dedicated to stories that are better that brielies blog. HIS BLOG IS QUITE FUNNY.

Dirk and Niel... enought said

Ahhhh my first real post. I know that Jaco (http://brielie.blogspot.com/) is probably going to moan like a little girl about the fact that this blog is in English but what is new.

So I’m sure all of you have suddenly remembered that last week was my birthday … oooopsss. Don’t worry it was a shit day anyway. I had to go into work, which meant I left London at 6:30 the morning and only got back at like 9:30 at night. At least we (me, storm and dirk because Jaco had to do his nails) went out for a beer or 2 so it was not all bad

The rest of the week was spent working and playing XBOX, well actually most of the time was spent getting the XBOX to work (dankie jaco). Friday was looking like it was going to be another boring Friday eating from Johns fish bar and drinking at home. When rolf came up with a brilliant idea to go to nandos. Now I can’t say that I remember the size of a “jumbo platter” back in SA but f**** me the size here in the ghetto … ggghhmm I mean wood green is amazing. I think there was food for 5 to 6 people between Jaco, Dirk,(and brielie) and myself . It was a good thing we had 3 hours before the movie started. So Friday turned out to be a really successful night.


Aahhh only one more paragraph.. I know it is boring but wait until you read brielies blog it just goes on and on. It should actually be called brielies has issues. Anyway back to the weekend. So Saturday was my day of relaxation, spent the whole day sleeping and playing fable. It was amazing. Then on Sunday we had a braai (BBQ) , we had to have the braai on Sunday because Connie(new guy in the house who’s birthday is same day as mine) was working on Saturday. It turned out really good we stared early there was a lot alcohol being consumed. Jaco and Dirk finally got to speak to some girls so there are suddenly a lot less gay jokes going around the house. And as good as Sunday was Monday was #@”%” terrible but that is another story

I thought this was quite good on brielies blog so I’m borrowing it
