wellington bender = 2x jerry collins ($30) + a matterhorn long island ice tea ($100)+ flaming lambourgini ($16) + dress codes(grrr dress codes) = one huuugely painful morning after bank balance induced hangover even though you only got tipsy
dunedin bender = one ranfurly 20 pack ($20) + a smattering of $3 drinks + a couple of chargers (from tim's candy stash) = 2 huge drunk as fuck nights on the change in your wallet ....... and almost sex by proxy, JUST BY PROXY MAN!!!
thus i have shown mathmatically without a doubt wellington sucks for benders. And Al is right, vic students are girly, any place it's normal to end the night drinking coffee in havana, fidels or any place where che's image is used as a marketing tool is just not scarf. it's anti scarf. and benders are the bread n butter of scarfdom, the beloved institution of crate days, hermits and blackouts are a south island thing, northerners, like aucklanders, like it in the batty.

Best cocktail ever!!!

Jellied cube of gin and tonic on crisp lime slice
This is good, really good. -and the meanest cocktail to pull out
1 frozen lime - fuck this bit, i just cut it with a knife
2 oz. simple syrup - i guessed they meant sugar syrup
1 1⁄4 tsp. citric acid
1⁄4 tsp. bicarbonate of soda
1⁄4 tsp. confectioner's sugar
1 1⁄2 sheets of sheet gelatin - i used agar powder
1 oz. gin
2 oz. tonic water
Freeze lime and cut into chips with deli slicer. Coat slices in simple syrup and 1 tsp. citric acid; bake at 150 degrees until crisp. Mix bicarbonate of soda, sugar, and remaining citric acid. Soften sheet gelatin in cold water for two minutes. Warm gin and add gelatin. Pour into a shallow baking pan lined with plastic wrap, add tonic, and refrigerate for two hours. Cut into 1⁄2-inch cubes. Put cube onto lime chip, sprinkle on sugar-soda-acid mixture , serve.
it feels really weird and tastes fizzy cause of the powder, amazingly good.
two other ones i tried from from Heston Bulmenthal were caviar on white chocolate, which was good but a freakin waste of money and stawberry with coriander. Mean.
