DRINK! It's a terrible thing. However, tradition is tradition so we thought we'd go out for New Years night and get hammered. We decided on a quaint little Irish pub in Havelock North called The Rose and Shamrock. They had a "Pimps 'n' Hoes" fancy dress night on and all the bar staff were dressed either as a Pimp or a Hoe naturally. I was asked by the manager to take my baseball cap off as they were not allowed on the premises - while the nice Playboy Bunny and S&M bar girls pulled beer. Seemingly dressing like a gimp is one thing but baseball caps are just a step too far. Anyway, undeterred we got down to the job in hand and drank Pilsner and wine like it was going out of fashion. As you see by the photos it was a good laugh (excuse the redness of the eyes in the photos - I think my camera is fecked...):
Thanks to Dad for coming to our aide at 3am when there wasn't a taxi to be found. We were gibbering messes by that stage so I can't imagine how we would have got home if he didn't give us a lift.
The next day the sun was splitting the stones and just in case we didn't have enough of beer, a decision was made to have a dinner of beer can chicken. Basically, you get a chicken and a can of beer. Drink half the beer and shove the can up the chickens arse, rub marinade on the outside of the chicken and cook in the barbecue on a lowish heat for 2 hours. Sounds mad (is mad) but tastes great!
You can see the can sticking out of the bottom of the chicken if you look closely.
We hope everyone has a great New Year!
