Nothing much to report

Nothing much to say today. Sundays tend to be a bit boring around here. Weekends in NZ are typically very dull it seems everything closes at like 2 so I usually just sit in at the house and watch dvds but I've run out of things to watch so I've taken refuge here in the internet cafe where I am currently listening to some of the songs of Flight Of the Concords.*
Been doing a serious sampling of the nightlife here in NZ past few nights. I figured someone should really check it out and report back to all you people what its like over here. So you see, I only really went out so I could you guys about it. . .

Worryingly I think the rest of the group may believe I am a bit of an alcoholic. I don't know why, it's clearly a baseless accusation I think it's just because I'm Irish. Prejudice is all it is. Nothing, absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I've been going out 3 nights a week and usually forcing them along with me. They're also not very good with beer most of them and this has led to the belief that I drink a lot. Again baseless, just because my stack of bottles is nearly always twice the size of theirs is no reason to assume that I drink a lot. Also bouncers here don't seem to like me, again I believe it prejudice against the Irish. They always ask me things like "Are you allright mate?" or "How many beers you had?" Most of the time at this point I've only had one or two. Its the Irish stereotype thing you see. As soon as they hear my accent they think. "Oh great, a bloody Paddy no doubt pissed off his face" I was even escorted out of the club one night for no good reason I was aware of. Was just standing there talking to someone and next thing this big kiwi dude comes along and asks me to please follow him. At this point I hadn't realized that I was being thrown so it came as quite a surprise when I found myself outside and was told I needed a break. The duration of this break I was told should be about an hour/hour and half. This was at like 1.30, so you do the math.

Anyway gone off on a bit of tangent there, this blog was originally meant to be just me telling you that if you're following my blog you should add yerself as a follower and leave comments and such. I'd like to read them.
