So here we are, with friends having a good time at a bar called Absinthe. Except that we were drinking beer. Some bright spark...er me actually...suggests that we must try the drink the bar was named after. A shot of Absinthe cost PHP500 per glass and a bottle was PHP4000 and held around eight shots, there were seven of us, so we ordered a bottle....mistake no. 1
Absinthe is served with sugar and water. The sugar is soaked in a glass of Absinthe for a few minutes, then the sugar is removed and placed on an accoutrement. Which is like a flat spoon with holes in it, balanced over the top of the glass. Then the sugar is set alight using a lighter until it begins to caremalise. The sugar is then plopped back into the glass....occaisonaly splashing lighted booze over fellow drinkers... and water is added.
After one of these...the world takes on a strange new meaning and begins to look a bit like this......
After two of these the idea of running next door and renting a Karaoke room seems like the best idea in the whole wide world....
After three of these, plus a few wines and a beer or two, one becomes convinced that American Idol is knocking on the door, Tony Braxton is talentless and you can do much better job singing "Ain't man enough for me" than her............
How long before my wife divorces me?

Dave, it sure seems like you guys are living life there in the flippa's. I do enjoy reading your latest going's on ...
Dude, your posts are excellent! And yes, your favourite book, From Hell is still here with me, feverishly waiting to get back to you..
The only reason I would divorce you is because, after six years together, you still don't know that you spell her name TONI not TONY...... as in Stapleton.
Send this post to Mari - she'll have a huge laugh :-)
