The etiquette of a round (shout)

No dragging the chain- It is a well understood obligation that slower drinkers in a shout must attempt to keep pace with the faster members of a shout.

Immediacy - Never accept a beer if you do not intend to shout on that evening. Shouting "next time" is not acceptable no matter how much interest is involved.

Reciprocal - Even worse than the previous rule is accepting beers from the drinking party and then just buying one for yourself when it is your turn.

Consistency - Changing drinks on people during a shout is considered poor form. I.e., shouting everyone VBs then asking for a "boutique" beer on the return leg.

Accountability - Knocking over someone else's beer will only be tolerated if there is a full replacement on the table. In some mining communities, the spilling of ones beer requires the guilty party to receive a punch in the arm from all other members of the party which could be up to 60 people.

Egalitarian - No matter how much money is earned by each of the party members, or where their money came from, the same shouting rules apply.

Free will - The order of the round is determined by each individual volunteering that it is his/her shout. Fellow members should not never have to remind an individual of their obligations to the group. They will only do so in the event of a breach.

Abstaining - From time to time an individual may wish to stop getting drunk. Ideally, they should wait till the completion of every group member's rounds before abstaining from future rounds. If it is essential that they abstain mid-round, they should request a non-alcoholic beverage. This ensures that the first volunteer is not punished for putting their hand up first. It ensures group equality and it also ensures that the person buying the next round does not feel like a bludger by being remiss in their obligations.

Gender neutral- Should a women be given a drink that has been purchased in the course of buying a round, she is subsequently part of the round. All the previous rules thus apply. A round can consist of only two people.

Off-Track

ANZAC day is here, and other than bowing our head and remembering those poor souls who lost their lives in the war. We also have to go to the Races in Gosford, get really really drunk because its free booz for a day, and free food, but the real reason is becuase getting DRUNK is a true blue AUSSIE thing to do....

Salmon Creator???

We have a problem... we dont know the creator of our own name?? All I know is my number.. Ryan Wilson I think has it written on his floor up stairs... Zarryon Ferretti has just quoted that he was the original creator of The CC Salmon.. which I'm not at all certain of.. but lets ask everyone else.. I think maybe you were the creator of the world known Salmon Handshake, but thats all...

Zarryon's 21st b'day party is on the 20th of May. If you havnt already recieved an invite in the mail, leave a message here and I'll get back to you with information. Wilson and Hodgy are told to come becuase he forgot to mail you out an invite. We also just found out that he has been named the Freshman of the Year in the USA. Fucking oath!!!

IF YOU HAVEN'T GOT AN INVITE, DONT BOTHER SHOWING!!!

Interesting Weekend

Ryan Wilson had his turn on friday night having a few people over his house for drinks, it turned into about 20-25 guys pissed off their nutta, running around watching footy, jamming in the garage, (nice freestyle Timmy) and playing table tennis up stairs, but pretty much no women. I suppose it wasnt meant to be a big one since they were heading out to Barrington Tops for a camping trip the next morning. The only person to get some female action was surprisingly a female... Em Beven seemed to have a good weekend, if she could remember any of it.

Saturday night was a different story as Ryans little brother Mat Wilson, seemed to invite the whole Central Coast over to his house, but must of forgot to post the invites to the guys. His goal was to out number guys with girls, which he did so, easily. There was more pussy in that house than ever before. The cops came as usual but they didnt seem to be care because everyone just stayed inside.

I think Matress learnt his lesson, when your throwing a house party of your own, its usually not as fun as when your at someone elses house. You've got to stress about looking after all your shit, and making sure no Blow-ins come which always happens. Good onto the older Salmon Crew which came later on in the piece and kicked them all out. Timmy was there all night but Joel and Grug I hear tore through the party like ravage beasts on a power trip.

First Hodgy, now GRUG!!!

Thats right, now Mr. Craig "Grug" Farrugia is going over to teach basketball at a summer camp in the United States of America... lucky him. Whatever you do grug, dont go to the whitehouse with two large suitcases and say you want to see the President, I wouldnt be surprised if you get crash tackled and your luggage blown to pieces... haha..

Well lucky for Grug its going to be at a private Summer camp called Nashoba which even has its own fucking golf course, lucky cunt. http://www.campnashoba.com/

I think he's going in early June, but I'm not certain. His "girlfriend" Jess is also leaving for England around the same time, so good luck to her as well, may all your adventures be ones of surprise and laughter... Oh, that also means that we have a vacency for a tennent at our East Gosford residence, please forward your applications to centralcoastsalmon@hotmail.com lol

Mat Cilia turns 20!!!

I dont know about you fuckers, but I have no clue whats happening for mats 20th, Grug reckons people are going to Mojo's later on, but are we going to Terrigal? Iggy's? Troppo? Someones house? TELL ME!!!!

and has anyone heard from hodgy?? I reckon there would be somewhere to get internet access on Hamilton Island, the bum should log on and leave us a message once and a while... stingy prick.

The MOJO Lounge

Lubes girlfriend Chandrika has got a new job, working night shifts at "The MoJo Lounge" in Gosford (opposite the Central Coast Leagues Club).

Its got 2 Levels -
Lower level -Wall Lounge, a pool table, ATM, Good house breaks and Dance music with small dance floor, Fish tank behind the bar, ciggie machine, and old arcade game.
Upper Level - Another DJ, Larger dancefloor with cages to contain wild bitches, a VIP section behind the DJ booth, Another bar without beer on tap, another pool table and more old school video games.

The main reason this place gets so much bloody business is cause its the only place open till 6Am. It packs out around midnight.

http://www.threedworld.com.au/ usually keeps you up to date with all the gigs.

PEACE

Hodge has left on a Jetplane, dont know when he'll be back again.

Well, thats the end... the end of Hodge on the Central Coast... he's buggered off to Hamilton Island for work, women, site seeing, women, bit of relaxation, and lots more women.

His farwell went fairly well... we got smashed... Lube got more pissed than he has in months, Wilson and Timmy got Thrown out of Iggys before they even sat down for their first drink. We were informed that Timmy was suspected to be the Central Coasts biggest drug dealers hahaha.... next time boys, wear better disguises.

The night ended up being ok, until more people got thrown out forcing the rest of us to have an early night and leave for home...

Hodgy also had a few friends over on saturday night... no biggy.. but the boys got off tap as usual.... and headed for Largo @ Terrigal... I think there was a costume theme of some sort..

Last but not least... I'm looking for anyone that has seen the movie "Run Ronnie Run" its fucking hilarious and is a must see... leave a message if you have seen or heard of it.
