Fins and a leash

FinsThis morning Mark came out with me and the jiu-jitsu guys for a morning surf. Dayne had Adam's old board which he's sold to me ($50 - bargain) so Mark used that and I used BJJ-Adam's spare board, which I've been using all along. I'd also been using his fins and bicep leash, so I needed to get my own. Fitzy claims to (possibly) have a body board and bag, so I might snaffle that as Mark expressed interest in coming out again with us. The bag will keep the Zed from getting wet carpet in the boot which would be nice.

After our beach antics, Mark and I went back to my office for a shower and then headed into Perth for some breakfast. We went to Tiger Tiger which was really bad. I'd heard good things, but the food was pretty average and the service was crap - they all had attitude just because they were working at a cool coffee house. Anyway, this crapness was offset by some wicked chatting with Mark.

A good start to the day, again.

I bought some fin savers in the Gold Coast - they're velcro straps that go around your ankle and attach to each fin. I also bought a wetsuit for the Gold Coast trip, so that box was ticked. I hit Star Surf on Murray St. after breakfast and picked up some fins and a bicep leash, so now I've got all the gear I need for a summer surfing safari.

    I back that - Tiger, Tiger are staffed by some serious wankage factor. I’m glad someone else feels that way because I refuse to go there based on their poor service. You’re right - their staff all have serious attitude because they THINK they think they work in a alternative, eccentric, arty coffee place. You serve coffee, for feck sake - it’s not even a real job. They make me so cross. And it’s not even good coffee!

    If you want to try somewhere even worse than that - try Velvet. The Manager there takes the wanking cake. I walked in to meet my friend who was collecting her order of 4 coffees just in time to hear him ask her if she wanted the a tray to carry her coffees. WTF!!? Scolding hot cups. 4 of them. No thanks - think I’ll balance them on my head just for a giggle, you dick weed.

    End Pretetious Coffee Place Vent.
    (if you check my Facebook status, it says “Brooke is: tired & grumpy … mostly grumpy. I believe this vent may be strong evidence to support this claim ;)

    Takes the wanking cake? Where do you find such a cake? Does this cake assist with masturbation somehow, or is it like a game where all the waitstaff wank into it, then serve it to you? Brooke, please explain.

    As long as the pre-wank drink is Pineapple juice it might actually be smooth and sweet … according to a UWA study :P
