Trouble and TV in Melbourne 2010

Two bottles of Duty Free Tanqueray Export Strength(47%) Gin and myself were taken, by Jesse in the Smug-mobile (Toyota Prius), straight to see Marty at Atticus Finch where we had time for a sneaky Iberican Martini before a delicious dinner at Gus and Deb’s.

Atticus Finch and the Firestone’s

I was collected from Melbourne Airport in ‘The Smug-mobile’, Jesse’s Mum and Dad’s Prius. “We’re going for dinner with Deb and Gus”, “Great!”, I answered Jesse “and we’ve got time for a quick martini at Marty’s”. “Wohoo!”.

Move over Movida - Gigibaba’s got it.

“You’ve got to go to Movida Nextdoor” urged my friend Dale. He’d had hassled me to visit Movida Nextdoor every time I visited Melbourne over the last few years – he’s got excellent taste and he’s really excitable about Spanish Cuisine (Go and check out his Tapas Menu written on the mirror at Vista Cafe [...]

I knew I needed more than one napkin…

The sign said NO BYO liquor or food. That could only mean one thing they’re selling food and liquor here, $2 entry, sure. With a red paid stamp on my wrist I wandered into the Busker Comedy Club hungry, very hungry, I went straight out the opposite entrance, where people were getting stamped on the [...]

This is much better than Koru Club!

At last, a place where you can actually bare to eat the food at the Wellington Airport.
For years you’ve been able to get great coffee - even if you’re on a Qantas flight it’s worth walking to the Air New Zealand gate to visit Fuel. However, their food resembles airline food - blah in a [...]
