Alcoholics Anonymous ...

Last night I went to my best buddy, Adrian aka the Genie king's place to help him mess around with his new desktop system which arrived yesterday. He was having some problems trying to get connected with his ancient dial up system (yes, you heard right folks, dial up!) and before you go laughing your head off, give the guy a break, folks, he has signed up for broadband services but it has not been activated yet ... hehehe ...

Actually he hasn't really been using his home system for quite some time (a few long years to be more specific) until I convinced him on the joys (or addiction) of blogging and now that poor boy is hooked on blogging that he just had to update his system and get connected with a broadband service provider here. So, I abandoned the wife at home last night (sorry honey ... hehehe) and went to try and see if we could get his connection up and running but alas we poor non technical people couldn't get the blooming modem to connect with the internet and so we gave up! He decided to call technical support of Monday, good luck with that buddy! LOL!

After that we adjourned to his hall to chit chat and my good buddy decided to open a bottle of wine and got his maid to make some freshly baked garlic bread! That's when it occurred to me that off late whenever me and our other good buddy go to his place, we'd end up drinking some hard liquor. Don't get me wrong, we're not heavy drinkers or anything, in fact far from it, we hardly drink hard liquor. We're not that kind of people, the strongest drink we used to have at his place was Shandy ... LOL! But of late, he's been serving us more of the stronger stuff ,what's wrong with you buddy? Trying to turn us into alcoholics? Soon, our wives are gonna send us to some alcohol rehabs centre or something. LOL!) Actually I think it's cos our best buddy's wedding is just round the corner and every time the three of us meet up, we tend to toast the bum :)

Anyway, last night's wine drinking was pretty strong cos by the time I got home, my speech was slurring ... hahaha ... and my wife was complaining of my garlic breath, saying that at least we don't have to worry about no vampires tonight ... hehehe ... see honey, at least I keep the place safe from evil demons :D Oh, I wasn't really drunk or anything, but I think by time I reached home the wine had seeped into my whole system and I was a little tipsy. Thanks buddy, I had some hard explaining to do to my wife ... hehehe ...

But I guess it's only an occasional thing until out buddy get married and the we can go back to our Shandy drinking way. The wife also just loves Shandy as well. Regular bunch of drunkards aren't we ... LOL! Damn, I must still be tipsy from last nights wine cos I'm laughing a alot writing this post ... LOL, there I go again ... hic! What's that honey? You think I should stop now before I injure myself ? LOL! Dammit, I just can't stop laughing ...

Ok, ok, I'm stopping already. Buddy I hope you get your broadband soon enough and then you can get to some serious blogging soon. Looking forward to your 100th posting :D Don't let anyone derail you, especially now that you have that fancy schmancy high tech new desktop system! Happy balance of the weekend people :)

  12. Hi Nick...

    Just dropping by to say thank u for your comments on the sad post about little Nurin. We hope that the culprits will soon be placed in prison where they deserve to be.

  13. AB, skunk is definitely the right word here ... LOL!

  14. Nafa, prison is too good a place for them. I have a few other suggestions but it's not really appropriate to list it here. People like that should be made to suffer a slow painful death!!!
