Crazy Frog

Gidday.

Well, almost another week over, time is really flying by. I had a theory that because I am now closer to the equator I must therefore be moving faster than I was in NZ, as the circumference of the earth is greater up here, thus there is further distance to travel in a day. With some tied up effect where it makes everything feel faster. Which it may or may not, I am yet to determine.

Anyhow.

Our slight hiccup at Harvey Norman may have set of a series of more idiotic Australians... Last weekend we decided to go and get some pizza for dinner. We have done this in the past with reasonable success, so we were not expecting much to go wrong. We ordered our respective pizzas, and waited the prescribed 15 minutes, after which we observed pizzas resembling what we had both ordered emerging from the oven.

Luckily or otherwise, mine was first to be called, which I duly collected and paid for. Ryan however was not so luckily. As we had witnessed both being cooked together, we figured his wouldn't be far behind mine. We were wrong of course, as a further 8 minutes went by and then he enquired as to the whereabouts of his meal. All the peasants behind the counter scurried around like mad ants for a while, and then came to the conclusion that his pizza had disappeared and would have to be remade.

So, back to the 15 minute waiting time, all the while me hanging onto my dinner hoping it wouldn't get too cold. I needn't have worried, we are in Australia after all. 15 minutes later, Ryan's pizza emerged and we made sure to not take our eyes off it until it was safely in his possession. We made our way home, and opened the pizza boxes, only to find....

Both boxes contained Ryan's pizza. Well, a version of. Mine had version one, his had the later cooked version two. I said "well at least that explains where the first one got to!"

At that point I was too hungry to worry about changing it, so I consumed version one and he consumed version two. I still to this day have no idea where my actual pizza went, which is a shame as it had a special base which cost me an extra dollar. So not only did I get a pizza I didn't order, I also paid a $1 more than Ryan did for the exact same thing. Curses.

Next time I shall be more observant... I guess it's kinda like watching the egg under the cups.

Apart from that, no major encounters this week, just work as usual. Still plenty of jobs on. I'm back out at the mine next week, so I'll hopefully have some more stories and/or pictures after that. It sounds like there is a fair bit going on out there currently so it could be an interesting week.

Right, I'll add a few misc pictures if I can find anything interesting, and I better go and cook some tea. Ryan had a go last night, and attempted to poison us with uncooked chicken, so I think I'll have to banish him from the kitchen for a week or two.
