BORAT BORAT BORAT

Borat, the funniest movie I’ve seen in years its funny right from the start all the way to the end. It’s a must see so hit the George cinema get a beer and be prepared to be offend in the funniest way. How much is that Gypsy Girl. Cheers Mightymouse.

Hotplate grill off

The Battle for the hotplate is hotting up; I don’t know if anybody has noticed that we now have 7 places to get a Hamburger. The Golden Arches standing still at centre stage and the old man of Burgers Greasy Joes has lost its way, gone are the days when the Cops dance on the tables and the early morning breakfast club has gone. The new owners have guttered it and turned it something of a sports bar with bad service and moved the cooking to next door.
Now there are new contenders in the Acland street shopping zone, starting at 62 is Hello Dolly, this a wonderful little shop great service and dam great burgers and chips next on the walk down Acland Street is Harry’s at 92a this is the old fish and chips that won best fish and chip shop in the 80s, it’s now been revamp under new ownership it’s clean and fresh but fish comes first and burgers second, still good but second.

Across the street at 83a is grill’d haven’t tried a burger there yet but looks well layout if have you tried a burger there let me know. Back across the street is Pit Stop at 96 as in its name a great Pit stop for a quick burger.

Around the corner opposite the National Theatre on Barkley Street is newly opened Danny’s in the old burger bar that was there for years, it’s clean fresh and rock ‘n’ Roll Jukebox while you wait I always wonder why the old owners didn’t clean up like Danny’s has done good onya Danny’s.

I do have one compliant when I grew up a hamburger with lot was Cheese, Onion ,Tomatoes, Egg, Bacon, Pineapple, BEETROOT and Dead horse, Not one of the burger joints had BEETROOT what happened to Beetroot it’s my favourite.

Cheers Mightymouse.

Where's the Carpark

Just had to post this, this is the second time in three months that a car has ended up in the drink at St.Kilda Marina, the first, a couple parked thier car at the top of the boat ramp and went inside Riva Resturant to check thier booking. And while at reception they notice customers peering over the balcony that's when they noticed it was thier car.
The second one just drove in his excuse was to the four police who attended, was I thought it was the carpark, opps. Only in St.Kilda

Lobby Loyde a Tribute

Last night Tuesday 29th of August an amazing line up of Australia’s rock talent came together for a Tribute concert at the Palace for Lobby Loyde.
It was the biggest night in St.Kilda for years and the longest que I have ever seen at the Palace. Lobby and the Coloured Balls was the first live band I saw at Iceland Ringwood, Lobby represents a Time in Australian freedom that has now been lost, the working class teens of Melbourne became the Sharps and every suburb had it’s gang and every Sunday night they gathered at Iceland Ringwood to see Australian rock acts and Lobby was the one that led the way followed by many of the acts that came together for the tribute.
Thanks to the Bands, Support Act, the Palace, Ticketek, and many others who gave their time for this special night.

Here's an interview with Lobby posted June 16 2006 with some great pics

Ghost Girls
Dark nights bright lights beam down on Ghost Girls who ply their sex on the Grey Street,
The George hotel stands Sentinel on the dark street of night trade.
Golden Brown is all they hang for, Golden Brown is all they live for,
and Golden Brown is what they die for, Ghost Girls Ghost girls.
Ghost Girls of the night walk the street of Greeves with tearers for Golden Browns warm embrace
Lost in the night trade for human souls they ply their sex for Golden Browns warm embrace.
Golden Brown is all they hang for, Golden Brown is all they live for, and Golden Brown is what they die for, Ghost Girls Ghost girls.
Sitting in bars killing pain killing time drinking whisky and rye in time no time for angel no time for pain just one time for golden browns warm embrace.
Golden Brown is all they hang for, Golden Brown is all they live for, and Golden Brown is what they die for, Ghost Girls Ghost Girls.

What Needle Exchange

This is my doorway I go to work at 6.00am only to come home to this, the person who left them has take no responsibility for their waste.

I look at it this way a person robs a Milkbar or a Video shop with a gun is changed with armed robbery, and the person who supplied the gun is changed with firearms offences and the supplying of an offensive weapon.

The same shops are now being robbed with syringes and the offender is changed the same as the person with the gun, but the supplier gets of Scott free.

The suppliers have been give the responsibility to EXCHANGE the syringes under an exchange program, but they are not exchanging them just handing them out, they to must bare responsibility, that means one item for another if they are not going to bare responsibility they to should be changed the same as the gun supplier with a criminal offence.

So who will bare responsibility for the next small business that is robbed?
