FAIL, FAIL, FAIL!

Last night was an epic fail all round. I left the house to go to the premiere of a home-made video produced from the guys behind “A Ride to Etna“, a duo of motorcyclists from Perth who were raising money for charity by riding 1500 miles in 3 days, and the playback was starting at 7pm in Willows Cafe.

Previously arranged was a photoshoot with my mate Darryl and he was meeting me at 8pm outside Willows to head off into the unknown. Unfortunately the film didn’t start rolling until five minutes before eight so I barely saw any of it (what I did see was well edited and very funny) before I had to leave – FAIL#1. As luck would have it, the skies opened and the white circles of doom started to drop again, and they weren’t holding back!

After driving on some questionable roads for a wee while, we had to call it quits and turned the car around with zero pictures on our memory cards – FAIL #2

Death in a box

To cheer myself up I decided to grab a munchie box* from a place I had never been before in Craigie but I like the sound of the contents – Chicken pakora, veg pakora, mushroom pakora, chicken chaat, chips, donner, pitta bread and salad (yeah… salad…) along with two types of sauce and cheese. I waited for my food to be prepared and talked to a chap who was a year younger than me at school and lived in the same village I did while growing up. All very nice and my night was starting to look up.

I got my death-in-a-box home to discover there was NO chicken chaat and NO mushroom pakora – the freakin’ reason I had ordered from this place was all a lie! That can’t be legal surely? A bit like selling a car stating it has air con but what they actually mean is that the windows don’t close properly?!? – FAIL#3

Oh and to top off my night the bleedin’ Seahawks made it through Wildcard weekend – never saw THAT coming!

*Anybody that isn’t familiar with a munchie box – it is a pizza box filled with the contents of mainly starters from a takeaway restaurant and can probably kill you there and then if it chose to – you should try it!
