Decline the meal but offer to catch up for a quick beer and exchange a couple of travel stories. A bar is always less awkward than a restaurant/cafe. If things go well and you're enjoying yourselves he can always shout you a countery.

I declined all the same - to much awks!

I don't even get time to see my real mates

was on the train last Saturday, pretty sparse patronage... sit in the free 4 seater, there was a glistening little book sitting on the seat.

Passport of Norway, looked fairly knew.

My mind immediately thought back to the times I was in flea bitten countries, paranoid id lost my passport and id be trapped for ever - then I thought about this poor soul and the frantic feelings they probably have..

I opened it up, Matthias something or other, with the o with the line thru it - visa stamped Canberra - consulate must be there.

poor geezer.

I thought id try look him up, did a bit of a facebook search and found a guy with the same name that looked pretty close - send him a message, dude, you lose a passport? ive left it with the Clifton hill station master, cheers.

so I left it at the station.

days later no reply - then I realized hang on, if you send somebody a message who isn't your friend I think it goes into weird out of the way box... I know it wasn't really my problem now but I couldn't stop thinking about it, I wanted closure, so I added him as a friend to see if that would work.

few hours later I got a reply... mate thanks!! so much!! ive been to the police, trying the PTV, nobody would help.. legend! this was much easier, you saved me.. I owe you a meal or something

nah its cool I said, ive travelled and know how bad it can be to lost the passport, enjoy your stay, later.

but he's insistent on taking me for a meal, i'm starting to feel awkward like its a proposition!

also a bit scary knowing how easily a stalker can find you on the face book hey.. took me 4 minutes to track him from a book on a train

most people have there facebook and mobile phone linked. my bar manager would type their number into facebook match their name and see if they were good looking as he would never accept a resume face to face. real creep.

Oh Howard Moon! I was 21 years old. Golden days.

Anyone else remember the grand hotel Essendon? I saw that young slender Eddie McGuire down at the grand quite a bit.
Glory days.

Was carrying my pug up to the back lawn this morning for her wee and just caught a magpie flying off holding a dove carcass in one foot. Not sure if said dove was killed by a cat and scavenged by the maggie or killed by the maggie too. I know magpies and ravens can kill other birds but I've never actually seen anything like that before. Certainly was a wtf moment.

[Zephyr Spirally]

I put it down to the pickling properties of the wine.

they say we evolved from apes right?

a creature with hair all over its body - slowly but surely the hair has been removed as the creature evolved - til we get the human we have today.

but wait, now a certain element of our species has developed a 'condition' called pattern baldness

i'm not buying it, i'm just saying we are further evolved.

The more hair we lose the more evolved we are

who is with me baldies?

I'm firmly of the opinion hair doesn't get removed from the person, it just relocates.

As my hair is receding and the crown is starting to show off it's natural self, hair has sprung up on chest/shoulders/back etc. Until such time as the wife and kids reckon I go the head shave I therefore need to spend more time looking after myself with both haircuts and back/shoulder waxing (in the warmer months).

I found a wallet on the road just before, had a look at the I.D at noticed it was only a 5 - 10 minute walk away so I went and returned it to the owner but I was pretty close just to leaving it there untouched. Just feels weird in that situation going to pick it up, especially if someones looking and thinks your nicking it for yourself.

I found someone's credit card at the end of the Woolie's checkout I was in over the weekend. I thought maybe it was maybe the old guy that had been before us so I dashed after him and he immediately said it was his then checked his wallet to find it wasn't. Purely by chance it was the same bank and the same style of cc.

Yikes that awkward moment when you are queued up for a bikini sale in Collingwood because the princess needs new bikinis for Mexico

Wife is going through photo albums of years past with both the kids today and finds photos of me and her from 10 years ago in Thailand.
Holds up photo of me walking up the beach from the water and raises her eyebrows to intimate I may not be looking as svelte as I once did.

What a bitch.
