Wednesday 12th Dec (part 2)

I have more to tell you about, just wanted to get the first part posted before my system crashes again.

We had a team dinner last week to say goodbye to Cissi. We were due to go bowling but the waiting list for the bowling alley was too long so we went for dinner at "Hooters" instead. Now I'm not sure how much you know about Hooters, but basically its' a diner where the waitresses wear VERY short shorts and very low cut vest tops and the rest (what is left) is for your imagination.

The bowling alley was very impressive despite the fact that we didn't get to bowl. Each alley had it's own flatscreen showing MTV or something, the sound system was great and it was all pretty cool. To look at.

After dinner at Hooters, some of us went to Old Fathers Inn for a beer. I'm finding it hard to put into words my thoughts on this place without offending anyone. Back at home, when I watch the Jerry Springer show, I often wonder where they find the people to go on the show. I now think I know the answer. Quite a few drunk rednecks staggering round, 2 mad girls jumping around the "dancefloor" to the live band, lots of guys playing pool and then at the other end of the bar, about 15 TVs showing live coverage of greyhound racing from around the states. $2 a bet we decided to try our luck. There were 5 of us, 7 dogs in each race and we each chose a different dog. 5 races down, not one of us had one anything. Now what are the odds for that? Gry then broke the spell and came in first and won a whopping $18. Our final race and I managed to get my dog (Dark Onyx) in first and recouped $7.40. A good night was had by all. But before I leave the Old Father Inn, I wanted to show you some photos of some of my fellow drinkers (photos taken covertly of course.) And before you ask, yes they are both men.....
