VERY FISHY LUNCH AT DOCKSIDE

We were lucky enough to be invited out to lunch today - only trouble is it was at Dockside. Now we haven't had many good experiences there lately. The venue is undoubtedly one of Wellingtons finest but boy has the food gone down hill.

Today we had fish and chips. Now normally they do lovely crumbed terakihi and shoestring fries. Today it was poor mans shark - Warehou and boy it was older than Neptunes trident. We were very polite because we were the guest of a good mate but we only ate about a third of the offering. It tasted like it smelt - fishy. And it was overcooked and the one thing you cannot do to Warehou is overcook it. Its a firm , large flake fish that needs to be slightly undercooked in our opinion.

Anyway our mate got called away and our old lunch buddy Spaz decided he needed a change of venue. So it was off to Shed Five. He had a taster of crab and we had one of those volcano chocky puds - all crispy on the outside all slurpy liquid inside... it was one of the finest desserts we have had in ages.

And it was rugby day at Shed Five. Website boys wooing the Rugby Union and Leon Grice lunching with two of the most beautiful men we have seen in a while. Leon is doing some big time rugby stuff for Minister McCully.

Cactus is a firm believer that the best eye candy is always to be found in the best restaurants.

She is right. Todays beefcake offering would have had her insides turn to the same consistency as our chocky pud.....

TIOTIO ANYONE?

Bubbles and Bivalves today - And where? Dockside of course..... We are the guest of one of their VIP customers .... Anyone else cumming???


Now i would give a sizable proportion of my weekly fees to a charity if someone would serve them like this...........

That would definitely be an orgasmic experience....

DEMISE OF FLAGSTAFF- THE BOYS OWN CLUB

This in from SPAZ

Today sees the demise of a Wellington institution, the Flagstaff Club. The club was formed as the Capital’s monthly lunch venue and put up the closed sign today after thirty years of serious eating and drinking.

The club was born at the St George Hotel, gaining its name from the Flagstaff hill on which the hotel stands. The luncheons originally offered a general speaking forum, but as members’ preferences were focused on sporting personalities, the focus moved there.

Speakers included: Colin Meads, Buck Shelford, Graham Lowe, Dick Taylor and club members Keith Quinn and Earl Kirton.

Special guest today is the original St George proprietor, Jack Cooper, who has made the trip from the Cook Islands where he is best known as Trader Jack.

It was also the only club that managed to keep the faith. It never ever allowed women members. We thought that was bloody cool. Trader Jack will be a great speaker - we had lunch with him yesterday - He's a good bastard and he has some amazing stories to tell for a boy who came from Island Bay.
But from time to time in that wonderful tax haven he calls home he does keep some interesting company. BB

OVERBLOWN PR FOR OVER THE HILL SPORTSTAR

This in from SPAZ

""The mighty public relations machine belonging to the Auckland Warriors exploded in flames on Friday after carefully sowing the seeds " of a major national move" by using Radio Sport during the peak hour morning show - they followed with their "bombshell"
We wondered had Eric Watson has gone bankrupt - were the warriors in receivership or had they been thrown out of the competition. ?
None of the above! they have re - signed former captain Stacey Jones 32, after 12 months vacation overseas - big deal.

At his peak 10 years ago he was brilliant - but in his last season with the Warriors he was ordinary.""

Spaz says he hopes everyone felt as stupid as him waiting for the " big announcement"

MELBOURNE CUP

Spaz is the man... We put a fiver each way on Viewed at his insistance - and Roarprawn is now about $320 richer... love that big bastard!
Mind you it was trained by Bart Cummings and BB's main man is an Oz so it was a patriotic bet as well.

WINSTON A COWARDLY PISSED CREEP

First Winston is a no show on the most important intellectual debate of the election on foreign affairs on Radio NZ - then the creepy fucker turns up on Radio Live after trying to find the bottom of the whisky bottle.

And like queen bee at Wellington Hive we noted him sweating and wiping his brow on TVNZ the other night - as my mate SPAZ would say - the piss has got him...

EYE TO EYE - WINSTON LEFT BRUISED

Bustedblonde couldn't watch Eye to Eye but SPAZ did -
His Verdict - Hooton won - he gave him 7 and a half out of ten and Winston 6.

And SPAZ reckons that it was bloody great TV.

So what are your views?
