I’m very proud of me, I said I would commence a tradition with my girlfriend to attend trivia each week and we did. I know it’s only the second week, but we did good (we usually have all these great ideas and aspirations that never come to fruition – what happened to Bridge lessons?)
This week there were 5. J, V, M joined us last minute and I had a friend from inter-state that was in Sydney for the night and you would probably all know by now that I never cancel plans with my friends (unless it’s work or free tickets to a play, opera etc) a sign of a sour past relationship? Yes. What do I do instead? Invite the guy along. Poor thing, knowing he would be subject to 3 of my friends judging every gesture and word (we all judge, don’t try telling me otherwise).
I WON A CHICKEN TRAY! I would’ve preferred the meat tray, mainly because I think it just rolls off the tongue slightly easier than chicken tray. Ohhh how I love RSL raffles! The buffet didn’t disappoint once again but unfortunately this week they didn’t have Pavlova – I hear you saying ‘what an RSL club not having Pavlova, that’s a travesty to the Aussie R-ey traditions’
As per usual, my insecurities emerge from deep below, a man being introduced to my friends and the thoughts cross my mind that he would be thinking ‘how can I make the swap?’ (I do love my friends, highest regard ever!) I’m happy to say I shook that thought out of my mind as quickly as it came…
We didn’t win the paper airplane competition even though we googled instructions. Cheat! Us? Never.
Hopefully there will be a week 3 edition to trivia, a meat tray to be carried off over our shoulders and Marto will be commentating again… Deal girls?

Trivia week 2
It's sad, but I like patterns. Ooh. And trivia. Where do you go?
I used to love going down to the Penrith Rissole on a Thursday night :)
Awwwww thanks mike!
Marinated chicky tray Miss Chicky! C & P-ing Mahd's ChickyStew hehehe
clarue, you picked up on it - wow! i'm impressed! I noticed it today *blush*
I go to Bronte RSL.
Scorpy, the Penrith Rissole? What? No! Penrith! I thought you were an ex-coogee/maroubra boy? Ohhh wait a sec, there was the WWC + ute statement hehehehe
Nooooooooooo! Can't make ChickyStew out of me...
I'm getting the oil out...
hmm... what's with me and oil today?
Must be the Champagne breakfast you had.... bubbles, now oil! ;)
hehe.. must be the wine in my hand right now ;-)
... and the raspberry Vodka in mine!
Ohhh must try raspberry! yum yum yum! tonight while i'm at cherri jam. hmmm... that means i should try cherry, they don't make it damn!
Make sure you have a dash of fresh lime in it or it can be like lolly water!
are you saying there is something wrong with lolly water??? west coast coolers!
will do, dash of lime, maybe soda water. mmmmm yum!
Miss Nat...let me clear a few things up.
1: When I was in the Navy I lived in inner Sydney and frequented the beaches,
2: When I was transfered to the Airfarce (Spelt right) I was moved to the outer reaches at the foot of the mountains - so I took up Drinkin' at the Penny Rissole and Panthers :)
As someone who has the hottest friends in the history of the universe, i know exactly what you mean about the 'swap'thing. It's an awful thought, but one i understand.
I see you taggled me. I'll do it on wednesday sweets.
I so enjoy reading your thoughts the mischief hidden in your mind, and others commenting, is truly sublime.
No Pav! It is a travesty.
I just wrote a scene for my new play about a guy teaching a little girl how to make a paper airplane.
I won a meat tray once. Literally walked into a pub I'd never been to before, bought the last ticket, and won.
The locals stared at me in a most uncomfortable way for the rest of the night.
Sounds like quite an evening. And a chicken tray to boot. Got to love the R-ey. :)
did you get beef sausages? i love those.
chicken tray? jealous.
I've never been to an rsl - I guess we don't do that as much in melb(?) but I've partaken in many a pub quiz. fun, fun stuff. :)
Scorpy, I've never been to Panthers. Any good? Fair enough it was a while back for you...
S & S – no eggs the bacon one does!
Steph – YOU! Feel that way? Sorry to say.. but I’m happy I’m not the only one. Here’s to shacking the horrible thoughts as soon as they enter our minds.
Awwww Thanks David!
Ha! Indy, so happy you agree
Jill, instructions please?
GB – The bestest! Did you walk out with the tray on your shoulder?
It sure was nick ;-)
No beef dot, sorry to disappoint – next time *fingers crossed*
M – There must be some daggy RSL in Melbourne! Go look! Go!
what's up with the meat trays in Australia? They just put out a tray of meat on a table, slowly decomposing, and you can win it? Then what? Do you fling it at cars or something?
You just stuff the meat in your purse?
No NO NO! Don't say that! Gotta love a meat tray!
And no! I would never stuff it in my purse :-P
