Title: A Day out with Mathew B and RJ
Post by: Sir Pompously on March 04, 2008, 08:42:04 PM
Well yesterday Robert-John (AKA John or RJ if he were a character in Over the Hedge), Mathew and Myself all met up to bicth, whinge, complain, fight, be friends, get harrased by a 7 year old Aboriginal boy who thought he could take on John, Mathew and Todd..... oh and Take photos (Duh almost forgot).

Mathew and I started out by getting an Xpresso from Lanyon that was Guaranteed to be an artic (I Guarantee! Mat said in a French voice as he rode a Granny mobile in a restaurant, in New Orleans) that turned out to be a Rigid. We met up with John who was on 709 and the day went on from there. The following are photos from the day, only a few from me however. 'Pika, Pika Pika!' damn Pokemon Diamond and Pearl only on Cartoon Network weekdays at 7am ads. Anyway, Photos.

Awesome shot of 719, but I pity anybody who visits that area, hah.

Where was the aboriginal boy? Did you take a picture of him or something?

No he was in McDonalds at Manuka with his sister and I presume boyfriend (Could have been Brother, or both) and approached Mat and John but didn't go anywhere near me (Even though I was next to them).

Lol and its 716, but hell I made that mistake. Must have had 709 on my mind at the time and made it 719!

no, we said he was 7...he was like 50cm tall and was like "Waats ya name, hey, tell me ya name and i wont drop ya" we just stared blankly at him..thinking if his inbread family wasnt there we wouldve grabbed his mcmuffing, jammed it down his abo throat and pushed him down the stairs.

So anyway, we just stared blankly like, WTF and he left.

I know that he wasn't in Year 7. No 7 year old child is in Year 7.
