WHAT IS THE TRAVEL WRITING LIFE REALLY LIKE? IS IT AS GREAT AS PEOPLE THINK? I HOPE TO COME TO SOME CONCLUSIONS AS I SHARE MY TRIPS AND TRAVAILS.

Putting Shrimp on the Barbie & My New Australian Boy Band

by Kent St. John on November 10, 2006

 After catching the man-eaters at the Sydney Aquarium I decided to turn the tables and headed to the Fish Market for lunch. Never in my life have I encountered such great looking seafood. Perhaps the long flight over has finally put me around the corner but shear joy was flowing. Oysters, lobsters and leather jackets oh my! Of course the huge prawns drew me in like mice to cheese. As I ordered some from the barbie, some lyrics started coming out of my yapper to the tune of there ain’t no mountain high enough . Soon I had some blokes singing along to the words, there ain’t no barbie big enough, there ain’t no barbie wide enough, there ain’t no barbie hot enough, too keep me away from you. My new mates and I ripped up some tinnies and devoured the huge buggers.We started singing My Prawn to the tune of My Girl and the crowd gave us hoots and whistles.I may soon have a gig singing at Claudio’s, seems I’ve gone troppo! Posted by Picasa
