Breaking News! Jason

In the most hilarious news I have heard in 2009 (all 12 days of it), it appears that Jason is thinking of taking the plunge.

No, he isn't going to throw himself off The Gap in an amphetamine-induced frenzy. Apparently, on New Year's Eve he made some throwaway comment to Bad Smell asking if he would be his best man. When Bad Smell subsequently asked him what that was all about a couple of days later (Bad Smell is a bit slow on the uptake), Jason proceeded to dodge the question and hasn't mentioned it since.

Will we be invited to the wedding? And how will I be able to tolerate it if I'm not drinking any more? Stay tuned for more...

Shayne Borland, Ye Hardly Gave Us A Chance To Miss Thee

As you can guess from the above title, Shayne Borland is back in town. He made a heroic return to the pub on Boxing Day while Miss Contradiction and I were having a quiet alcohol binge. And when I say heroic, he literally walked in with his hands clasped above his head like a returning hero or prize fighter. He then made a beeline for us. Miss Contradiction was sitting with her back to the door but could tell by my face that something was horribly wrong.

He was already about a billion sheets to the wind, wandering around and repeating himself and pestering us for sex. Then the bar girl told me that apparently he has been in rehab, not Bribie Island. Good to see rehab worked for him. He ended up being kicked out after literally one drink.

He then got into a taxi, went around the corner into Cabramatta Road, exited the taxi straight away and came back, hoping they would think he was a different person and he would be let back in. When this clever ploy didn’t work, Shayne Borland stood outside the pub for approximately one hour, by himself, looking in the window.

When Miss Contradiction and myself went out to the smokers’ refuge, he proceeded to hover over the ropes and try to get our attention. We ignored him, and the bouncer hilariously referred to Shayne Borland as a “serial pest”. He said this in total seriousness, making it even funnier. Shayne Borland, serial pest, we salute you.

Several days ago, Shayne Borland commenced hassling me by SMS again, as follows.

Shayne Borland: Are you going up to Cremorne 2nite?

Town Bike: No

SB: Please?

TB: No

SB: OK, can we have sex before I go?

TB: No

SB: Does that men yes?

TB: It means no

SB: So will I see you at Cremorne 2nite?

TB: No

The dance continues.
