Gooning for Glory
Sun, sea, and the silliness of bum bags
Goonjimbo's life.
Update #1 transmitting...
So, fellow SeekoNeers, I have reason to celebrate. Definitely not a common occurence for myself as I usually spend the majority of my weeks wallowing in misery and self-pity so I keep reminding myself to be very grateful for such rare luxuries.
My monotonous, stress-inducing, nine-to-five job at the Ministry of Defence shall be cast to the back of my mind for 2 weeks as I take a fortnight off work, and in the midst of this, I shall jet off to Cyprus.
My oldest friend (technically not my best, especially since he's been annoying the bajeesus out of me lately) has landed a free apartment in Paphos, opposite his grandparents house. Combine that with cheap flights, and this trip will cost me 225 pound for the flight (first class on the way) and whatever spending money I take. Best investment since Arsene Wenger decided to take this 'Thierry lad' on for half a million.
Now most people would associate 2 weeks off work as non-stressful, but ironically, the preparation for this holiday has made it quite a stressful time. The main obstacle being the argument of the contraptions that are known as 'bum bags', or 'fanny packs' as I understand, to Americans.
It's quite a simple stand-off, all the old people say we should take one, all the people going on the trip (3 of us) say we shouldn't. I've never quite seen the attraction of grouping all my valuables together into one bag and displaying it on your stomach with an air of 'come and get it' about it. Also, the additional grievance is that it makes you look like the sort of tourist that dresses in all the wrong clothes, takes lots of pictures with a camera thats lense extends as far as Switzerland, and talks loudly in their own language and considers speaking foreign to consist of talking even louder in their own language.
But anyway, with any luck, as long as my mates don't turn into selfish dickheads which they've been known to do before, then this should be an enjoyable trip with lots of drinking, clubbing and sex along the way. Beautiful.
