Will’s Birthday A night to remember!



Hot meat, cold beer, waiters rated E- to start, steadily progressing to A+ as the night wore on. Tim as the restaurant DJ. Will as the guest of honour.

Everyone thought a huge error was obvious and halted at a door that announced, “Vegetarian Restaurant”. This was not what anyone had in mind.

Having to bring our own cold beer, purchased two days earlier, just to ensure supply, we thought we would have been served immediately, but after a 30 minute wait, someone had clearly managed to find an outlet in Batalagundu for tankards, and the beer finally began to flow. Mitch naturally managed two tankards and devised a means to have both filled regularly.

Chicken 65 was the predilection of the repast, closely followed by chicken noodle, chicken lollypop, chicken fried rice, chicken tandoori, and of course chicken tikka. The other courses mutton balls, and fish fried were down the list. The only veggie to be seen was french fries and of course chillied peanuts.

Once the ice-cream came, Herks had to admit his new daks were a size too small, and the multi-coloured tutti-frutti was just asking for trouble. He succumbed.

Quote of the night went to Charles, “The trouble with vegetarians is they don’t eat meat.”

Callum’s head hanging well clear of the bus window on the return journey provoked consoling comments from the more compassionate.

A great night had by all.
