14.01.2006 – Saturday 14 January – Clint’s Birthday Bash

Day

• Bronwen and I went shopping, returning the ridiculous cheese slicer that doesn’t slice cheese, and getting keys recut. The first cut, they didn’t even fit in the locks, let alone turn them. This time, one actually fits, and will turn the lock with difficulty. The other key still doesn’t fit in the lock, so I’m not overly impressed with these key cutters.

Night

• Bronwen and I made our way to the Good Knight Bar, to witness Clint’s twenty-first birthday spectacle, and eat some pancakes. A good night was had, ending up at the Casino, and I think everyone managed to survive.

  Maybe your cheese cutter that doesn't cut cheese would do a better job cutting keys?

  It couldn’t do much worse, although I don’t know whether the key cutter could cut cheese. How much cheese could a key cutter cut if a key cutter could cut cheese?

  Happy 21st birthday Clint.

  Thank you Mrs Martin.
  
  The story of the hair purpling is a bit of an epic - a lot like the Iliad really, except without all that dodgy homosexuality and with women's tennis and Tooheys Pils in there somewhere as well. Dunno about the whole Greece part either, although I think the tennis players were from Belgium which is sort of near there.

  Clint has managed to survive, so far, but it is not known if the hair dye has managed to reach his brain, and if it can ever be removed if it has.

  Purple haze!! (For all you youngsters, this is the title of a Jimi Hendrix song)

  I prefer 'Purple Rain', that wonderful movie starring (and perhaps scripted by) Prince.
  
  How come I can't type out his symbol on my keyboard?

  Wills or Harry?
