This Is Scottish Dave's Personal Website
He loves to hang out there, sipping his la-di-da cocktails and threatening passers-by with grevious bodily harm.
Mainly because he has been banned for life from every other drinking establishment between Hornsby and Palm Beach.
WE LOVE YOU SCOTTISH DAVE!!

Credit Where Credit's Due
I am not essentially a negative person. I only bag out fuckwits, arseclowns and reprobates - ie, those who deserve it.
So that's why I'm going to give the hole a bit of credit here.
I must say the jukebox is a little beauty. Miss Contradiction and myself have found some rare and random gems that no other pub in the world would think of having. These include:
* Buffalo Stance by Neneh Cherry
* Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon
* I've Got My Mind Set On You by George Harrison
* Drop The Pilot by Joan Armatrading
* We Didn't Start The Fire by Billy Joel
* Get Off by Prince
I also noticed with some pleasure over the course of the weekend that the jukebox even has Be Thankful For What You've Got by Massive Attack, which is of course in my TOP THREE favourite songs of all time. They even have it in the awesome extended mix, which goes for like 7 minutes. I am also rather fond of the film clip and was enjoying watching it in all its glory.
However I do think there is room for improvement. Several crackers from the old jukebox didn't make it to the new jukebox, including Batdance by Prince and I Touch Myself by The Divinyls. Both Miss C and myself are big fans of these two songs and would like them to be reinstated to the jukebox.
I also think there should be more mash-ups on the jukebox. There is only one on there at the moment: New Order "Blue Monday" vs Kylie Minogue "Can't Get You Out Of My Head". I would suggest these mashups be loaded for our collective listening pleasure:
* The Next City (which is The Next Episode by Snoop Dogg vs Paradise City by Guns and Roses)
* Bootystition (Bootylicious v Superstition by Stevie Wonder)
* Crazy Dick (Moby Dick by Led Zeppelin v Crazy In Love by Beyonce)
* And Drop It Like It's Hot by Snoop Dogg vs Voodoo Chile by Jimi Hendrix. I guess this one is probably called Hot Voodoo or Hot Chile or something.
And while we're at it, let's all hope that management doesn't revert to their plans from earlier this year, when they decided it would be a good idea to have a DJ in the pool hall. Except he wasn't a DJ, but some guy with his iPod hooked up to the jukebox with an A/V lead.
I have also been told that when you switch Bluetooth on in your phone, you can find the jukebox. I am unable to confirm this as my technological skills are limited at best, but soon the day will come when you will be able to hack into the jukebox via your mobile phone.
And speaking of credit where it's due, I would like to congratulate the Mosman Hotel on their outrageously tasty spinach and ricotta cannelloni. I wonder if the megahole cook realises that having a salad on your menu DOES NOT count as a vegetarian option. Many vegetarians don't even like salad - in fact I won't eat salad unless it has some sort of carbohydrate in it, such as pasta, potato or couscous, and a creamy sauce.
I like food.
Thank you for listening.

Synopsis WE 26/11/06
Well, as you know Town Bike was a little under the weather on Friday night. I did indeed attend the Kylie concert and returned to find Town Bike and another friend of ours who I will call Miss Penelope for lack of anything better to call her, absolutely smashed playing pool on the rather odd relocated pool tables. We have since figured out that the rotation of the pool tables was a ploy to disguise the fact they have removed 4 of the tables. Another Megahole mystery – where did they go and why??? Perhaps when we discover the location of the missing pool tables, we will also find Buck Hunting and Pinball.
Saturday after we spent most of the day recovering, we thought we would do some research on the other pubs in the area. First stop – Mosman Hotel, also known as the ‘Duck’. First thing we noticed was the absolute plethora of young attractive men – aha!! We cried – so this is where they go. The next thing we noticed was a rather extensive menu at reasonable prices – something lacking at the Hole. I think their menu consists of about 4 choices the highlight being baked beans on toast or something.
Next stop – the Oaks. Pricey drinks and apparently they can’t afford limes, which is surprising considering. Anyway, not a bad establishment. Reasonable looking men, although a tad woggy.
Then we decided we had been away from our spiritual home long enough and returned to our ‘Mecca’ if you will. WTF was going on at the Hole Saturday night is beyond me. I think they arranged a loser’s theme party and forgot to inform us. From the outfits – some women looked like Supre threw up on them – to revolting displays of affection between a late 30’s slapper in some kind of beer wench outfit known as Slapporn with a much younger bloke in stubbies and thongs who looked paraletic. All in all the whole night was a car crash of mass proportions. The only thing I can think of that might cause such a dismal night, is that Uncle Pete was away on a fishing trip and unable to monitor things.
Let’s look at a comparison of hotels…..
Mosman Hotel – Saturday 9pm
I think the pictures speak for themselves!!!
Oh Cremorne Hotel management!!! What are you doing to our spiritual home?
