Right... For those who know me personally would be privied to the reasons for my rather long hiatus, hence the lack of posts since the last one.
But all that is behind me now, I'm back! Geez and it feels good, no, GREAT to be back doing what I do best...waffling, I mean writing! It has been a rough, long old road to get here, but it has made me a stronger person for sure. And thankfully I've not lost my sense of humour. I can't tell you how important it is to laugh, and especially about oneself. Pity is a fool's emotion. Self pity is far worse. I know I've been there many a times, it's like falling down a well and not being able to get out.
It is during these times that I find the rescue rope thrown down by my nearest and dearest (who know who you are).
Well move forward to happy time; I went to a comedy gig couple days back. It was a small venue with a cosy bar, mini stage and delicious food. I had not been out for ages until that night so was rather looking forward to the stand up comedy where, five guys; three Americans, a Canadian and a Scot. All vying for the 'fight comic' title. They had to get through several rounds mostly based on the concepts of 'mock the week' and 'have I got news for you' and the deciding round involved random suggestions/comment from the audience. It was cracking good fun!
Anybody can join to compete in this weekly event, of course with the intention of going to the grand final against past winners, the crowd were a mix bunch. Mainly tourists and a few after-work business types with their companions. This old boy- who just happened to look and dress like Donald Trump got ripped to shreds, well serves him bloody right for sitting close to the stage and in view of the comics!
My friend and I weren't drinking so mock cocktails it was, mainly mixed with red bull and some sparkling juice made up for the lack of cold beer or spirits. I think this might become a weekly thing. Definitely inviting more people to go along next week. And for a fiver (entrance fee) cheap drinks, it's not bad for a night out.
