As abruptly as myself and Kev had been awoken. It was nothing compared to what Marc had to suffer. They'd gotten pretty close over the last few months working together. And this is how Bogan thought it was appropriate to introduce himself. (excuse the terrible camera work, I was just awake and not functioning correctly)
Hallo...
Kev and myself just wanted to get a nap in before this weekend began, but it just wasn't going to be allowed. So the two of us manned up and decided we'd bring Bogan to our favorite local restaurant 'Blue'. Bogan and Marc back Kev and I. So they decided they were going to flip for the first meal. So of course we ordered steaks, calamari and wings. Not to mentioned the pints were flowing from the get go.
In Blue...
This isn't going to end well...
One thing I have to give Bogan is, the man can finish a pint in no time at all. The waitresses were literally putting the pint down, taken one or two steps away from the table and it was finished. Now here we were at 1pm in the day, trying to keep up with this. Planning on drinking for the whole day. The pints kept flowing, and even so early we were starting to get a little bit drunk. I think the total bill came to approx €250. Marc as he would many times this week, lost the flip of course.
Interview with Rowniwn...
We went and met up Bogans mate Charlie who moved over to Ireland about two years ago. Bogan, Kev and him seemed to hit it off straight away. We said it was fine for him to stay with us for the week. We were all getting pretty drunk at this stage and it was still only early. So we decided we'd try and convince Abe to come down from Northern Ireland with us. Bogan see's himself as a sort of father figure to Abe. Albeit a fucking terrible one. Teaching him things no 15 year old needs to know 3 years ago. I can't really remember much of the night when we finally got out, all I can remember that was the night we introduced the 'Bulmeistershock'. For those of you who haven't gone drinking with me. It's half a glass of Bulmers/Budweiser, you drop a blue 'aftershock' into it. Then to top it off you drop a jaager in it as if you are doing a jaager bomb.
Myself, Kev and Abe with the 'Bulmeister' shock...
I think the shots were Bogan's weakness however. Yes he will tell you what a great drinker he is. Yes he will say not a single person will keep up with him. What he won't tell you, is on his first night of the Emerald Isle he ended up ordering water rather than beer from the bar and also was the first one to leave and off home to bed. Only after showing the whole club what the Melbourne shuffle was of course.
Before Bogan bailed...
I got home to the house a bit later, and to say it was in bits is maybe the understatement of the century. Kev and Charlie just went a bit mad, smashing up the kitchen. But what can you say, it happens to the best of us. Abe and myself just chilled talking shite in the grind room for several hours and decided at 8am it was a good idea to go for a swim at the beach.
Seemed like a great idea...
This post is starting to get on a bit, so going to sum it up a little bit. The next night we all crashed Kev's sisters family dinner. All headed back to the house before Sinead (Kev's sister) for a surprise party and of course shit ended up getting wild. With all the lads buying Sinead drink she ended up in a hula-hoop. Each day started to kind of blur into the next. Kev, Bogan and Charlie made it out again the following night. Where a proposition was made, that if Kev was to clear make-up (around 5k) Bogan would have to bring him to Mexico when he stopped there on his world tour. Obviously clears make-up and Bogan is going to have to pay up for a flight to Mexico if Kev can get himself some spending money. Kev proceeded to play host for the rest of the week. Bringing Bogan to the casino where I used to work on one of his adventures, obviously where he tells everyone he made me. Oh the shame.
He set off towards Europe after the week with us, while it was nice for the madness to end. All I can say was it was a pleasure. And hopefully we will all fuck shit up together again at some point <3
