Is not always the right thing to do. Sometimes you should take it to a mechanic.
Tried to make some fixes to the place tonight-screwed it up royally. Finally after going round and round got back to “normal”. Thus no post tonight.
So drink these :
And talk to her-tell her what’s on your mind in the comments section:
Speaking of beer and babes-a Lan Kwai Fong landmark is closing tonight. Hardy’s bar will serve its last San Miguel:
I’ll let Hemlock tell you what you are missing:
Hardy’s, the last authentic pub in Lan Kwai Fong, closes its doors for the final time tomorrow night. Already, most of the fittings, pictures and decorative or other adornments that have been accumulated over 20 years have been looted, auctioned or stored away in case the institution comes back to life in alternative premises one day. And much nicer the place looks too, it must be said.
It will be a black-tie, invitation-only affair. No riffraff. I am scheduled to officiate over the early part of the proceedings at 7pm, when various members of the Antiquities Advisory Board will visit the pub to declare it not worth preserving. I will slink away soon after, in order to avoid what happens next. At 8pm, the first of the less-popular brands of beer will run out. At 9.30pm, the Filipino guitarist will attempt to break his record and sing Country Roads four times in a 30-minute period. At 10pm, guests will be entertained by the traditional misunderstanding between a waitress and a Mainland tourist. At 11pm, the San Miguel will be all gone, and the desperate clientele, unable to face the idea of leaving their womb-like watering hole for ever, will turn reluctantly to the never-opened bottles of cantaloupe brandy, chocolate-chili vodka and guava schnapps. At 1am, there will be a special, final pugilistic bout between Terry the nice-when-sober teacher and Norris the bulky accountant who took his seat, which will be broken up by the Nepalese barman after one uneventful minute. At 2.30am, the police will arrive to arrest one of their own off-duty members drunkenly refusing to pay his bill. Then things will start to go downhill – for the last time.
Sure wish I could have been there -or at least in Lan Kwai Fong. Instead, I get to go to hell Korea next week -lucky me.
