Bobs Again

Sammy and steve showing their appreciation for stephan snapping photos of us all day


Me and steve and mark hanging out at bobs...again.

Beggers

The beggers here drive me fricking nuts. You cant go anywhere without them following you. You go out for a meal and they're everywhere. They carry their little babies around and they send the little kids up to you trying to sell chewing gum. Piss off and eat it yourself you little bastards!
And there is a real homeless guy who lives on the corner of my street but he never asks for money.
They stand there and babble in arabic like i know or give a shit what they're saying and i offer them food but they just want money....I'm poorer than they are! (Probably would help if i didn't spend my entire wage at the pub) Oh well!

The Lebanon News

I'M IN THE PAPER!!!!!!!!!!!
How cool is that. I'm the paper being my usual drunken bum self with the owner of my pub. Its an awesome photo but i dont have any time to post it now so i'll post it some time during the week. Ran around my pub with a shirt wrapped around my neck like a cape all night. Such a tool. Going jet skiing again tomorrow. Should be good.

Monkey

We got a monkey!!!!!
Ok we only borrowed her. Her name is baboo and she's a baby baboon. A friend of mine, mark, saw her chained up outside a pet store and has since been borrowing her for a day or two. She is really funny and i think she gets fed and looked after better with mark than she does at the pet shop but she is hard work...she's worse than children!
We took her to capain bobs but she wouldn't go near the water so she sat around and ate. On the way home from the pet store she was stinking up the car. I had to hold my head out the window so i didn't puke everywhere.
But she costs about 800 to buy so unfortuantly she's not coming home with mark for good.

found the silver lining!!!!!

Yeah so even though i got shut down last night and i was all depressed and shit i found this this morning and its a key ring (duh) that my friend steve gave me.
He works for a demining company and look...its got a little bomb on it!!! isn't it just the cutest little bomb ever!!!!
So there was a silver lining to my totally non awesome night last night.

Shut Down

Went out last night and i was effing shut down! its so effing depressing dude

More drunken tales

Some how after every weekend there are tales to be told. Although we go to the same pub, drink the same drinks, listen to the same music we seem to be able to make our own fun. It certainly helps when the staff and owner of the pub let us do whatever we want.

I didn't go out friday night but that just made me more prepared for captain bobs on saturday where we drank and were merry until neil threw me off the jet ski...NOT COOL....not cool because he went right into the beach and then came out over the waves so he was getting all this air and of course a couple of those and you can barely hold on so i let go...letting go as we went over a wave so i flew in the air and looked down to see the jet ski was still under me. To avoid an awkward landing i tried desperatly to throw myself to the side hitting my leg on the side of the jet ski as i came down. It hurt a lot and bouncing across the water hurt too.

But we continued the party at our pub and i worked the register but being drunk and it being a busy night i couldn't really keep up but they keep saying if i go in on a week night they'll teach me properly and being the drunken bum that i am i swapped shirts with one of the little bartenders and his hairy chest was popping out all around my singlet. Quite funny.

And then we hit captain bobs again this arvo but it was really choppy and windy so we just kicked back for a while.
I must credit captain bobs though because i am tanning at a rapid rate due to being drunk and being able to sit in the sun for a long time without worrying about burning.

My New New Hat

Yay i got another hat! My pub has let me walk out wearing another hat.

I went jet skiing again yesterday and this time i was thrown off twice and i have some awesome sunburn to remember my day by.

Not Happy Jan

Yeah so i was wondering how long it would take for the lebanese to fully live up to the sterotype they have in australia.
4 months.
I've been here 4 months and have had the usual whistling and rude comments from the lebanese males but last night they exceeded all expectations when one indecently assulted me in the lift of my own building. I was on my way home from a boozy night at the pub and i wasn't seriously hurt or anything but i was very shaken up by the experience. Not one that i wish to ever have again.

I love Skandars

I love Skandars so much. I got pissed and noticed the staff had new uniforms, ok so i noticed the uniforms then i got pissed but the point is i asked them if i could have one and they gave me two and they let me go behind the bar and crack some beers which i handed out with half their lids still on i was so plastered.
I love Skandars.
Note to everyone: If your ever in Tyr, Lebanon go to Skandars it is just a pub but its also more than just a pub.
