Christmas Dinner

[Haipule]

I'll have to try it then. One of my favorites is Chimay Grande Reserve made by Belgian Trappist monks.

Marmite? Then you must be Australian. I lived there when I was 19 (1979) surfing from Taz to the Gold Coast. The Cascade in Taz was good and the waves at Eaglehawk Neck. The Carlton Draft in Victoria was good and got a big day at Bell's. Tooies and Tooths of NSW was good. The XXXX of Queens land was horrid! I mostly lived in Colloroy Plateau on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. Surfed Manly a lot.

I spent a month on Bali and met some Ozzy surfers. Then flew to Sydney and took a train to Byron Bay. There, I stayed at a Youth Hostel and met more surfers. I spent the next several months visiting all my new friends. One of them lived in Toorak in a mansion. I only paid for a few nights sleep. The Australians were very generous. They still call me Sepo.

Had a great night at the Royal Antler in North Narrabeen and saw Doc Neeson and the Angels. I also enjoyed the Saints, Radio Birdman, Midnight Oil and Angry Anderson's Rose Tattoo.

I overstayed my visa and got kicked out of Australia so went back to Bali and stayed there 3 months. Good times!

I've seen Angry Anderson live and played in a back up band for Midnight Oil when they passed through Mackay.
I'm going to the Gold Coast next Friday.
I won't be surfing though, not that it has a great surf, unless there's a cyclone around. :-)
I'll be escorting a bunch of 7 yr olds on a school excursion.

Yeah, that's the problem with the Gold Coast. Great waves when it's doin' it mate! Why do they call it Surfers Paradise?
