Funbury

Seeing as there was not much happening on Saturday night, Shendelle and Suzie decided to go to Bunbury. Now Bunbury does not have a name for being a terribly exciting or classy place to visit but we had a brilliant time there anyway.

We decided against the $16 a night backpackers and went for the quaint Rose Hotel, where we met a lady quite deserving of the "Most Unhappy Receptionist of the Year" award. It was a great place to drink before heading to Reef Hotel. Now, when we arrived at Reef we found out 2 wonderful pieces of information. It was a FLIRT party and people were supposed to dress up TOGA style. Gold. Unfortunately there was hardly anyone there so we cruised over to the Prince of Wales Hotel, where we joined a private party until we got kicked out. We soon found the proper entrance, where we were told it was $15 entry. Why? Because Thirsty Merc were on. So we watched their set which was a bit of alright. The highlight of the gig was the discovery that the sound guy was not wearing PANTS. Jocks but no pants!! Bunbury just gets better and better. After the set ended we went back to Reef which was quite busy by this time. Everyone had a number and there was a screen where messages came up. We went to town with this, sending messages such as "I am in love with you Suz" "Shendelle, so hot right now, Shendelle" and "6139 - Ever heard of deoderant?" When Reef closed we went to some other dodgy bar and eventually got tired and went home. To end the night we bought Turkish Kebabs. Turns out Turkish kebabs are the same as normal kebabs.
Seems quite normal....

........Until you look below the belt...or presumably where a belt may be if he was actually wearing pants.

No trip would be complete without pretending to steal a caravan... or pretending to live in one

All in all it was a great night. Apologies to anyone who got sent drunken text messages :o)

yes you know I am not into stealing stuff - "Amy! Put the life jacket back!!!"

I also forgot to write about some of our scintillating conversations, such as;

"What if people had no hair? Would they wear hats more often?"

"Why is Winnie the Pooh called that? He is not a poo"

I found out the other day that Winnie the Pooh was actually named after the Canadian city 'Winnipeg.' (Facinatingly it's also the home of the world largest shopping centre). Apparently Walt Disney used to visit there a lot as a kid or something. Still doesn't really explain the toilet reference. Maybe he thought it was a shit place? Anyway at least ya got half your answer.

but A.A. Milne invented Winnie The Pooh...

Disney just drew him in a cartoon.

The internet told me this:

The inspiration for "Winnie-the-Pooh" was a black bear named "Winnie". In 1914, a Canadian officer, LT. Harry Colebourn, found or bought a female black bear cub orphaned after the death of its mother in the wild. LT. Colebourn decided to name the cub "Winnie" after his hometown of Winnipeg, Canada.

During World War I, LT. Colebourn took Winnie to England. Later, Winnie was donated to the London Zoo for safekeeping when LT. Colebourn's military unit was ordered to France. Supposedly, Winnie was a very popular attraction. Author A.A. Milne took his son, Christopher Robin Milne to see the bear. Christopher so liked the bear that his father decided to name the character in his new book after Winnie, the black bear at the zoo.

The original stuffed bear is here:

This has been a public service announcement.

Also, Scooby-Doo's real name is Scoobert! And Shaggy's real name is Norville!

Whee.
