My mate Gerrod sent me a reminder that I haven’t updated stickfly in forever. In the email he listed some topics I could consider for an update and one of them was to talk about how awesome he is – so here goes.

Oh the ways that Gerrod is awesome:-

Spontaneous school-night outing

Filed under: At home in Australia

In London there was no such thing as a school night. Every night was the weekend. A trip to the pub after work each day was mandatory.

Well back in Brisbane things work a little differently.

Public transport is not a ubiquitous option for everyone and even when used you can’t rely on it to get you home when

Yesterday, Andy and Cody (Candy) sent a same-day invite to go see Josh Thomas – a local Brisbane comedian – at the Powerhouse last night. I thought yay! Let’s do it. The performance was brilliant, he’s very funny. Afterwards we stopped in New Farm for some chow and drinks. It felt like the old London days.

However, you do pay a price for such frivalality:

  • Cab Ride from work to venue: $16
  • 3 beers at venue: $20
  • Ticket price: $32
  • Dinner and Drinks afterwards: $30
  • Cab ride home: $30

Total: $128

ouch! Sure was a fun night out though. Yay for Candy.
