Going Home Again (file under ‘can’t’)

Friday night, I stayed at the auld family hoose, and in my old bed, the bed I slept in throughout the Todman St years.
Man…
…it was way less comfortable than I remember.

Speaking of sleeping on furniture in Todman St, and it isn’t very often one gets to make that segue, old-skool Todman St visitors may be bemused to see my wonderful long couch appearing in an ad for alcohol moderation.
Which is sort of appropriate.
Looks like the end of the Pigphone party to me, 271KB pdf.
The couch is currently making a living in wee sister’s flat, performing much the same function there as it did in Todman St.

I was in the Hutt for the jubilee for my old school, St Bernard’s College. Was good fun, actually, though it would have been nice if the SBC first XV had managed to beat arch-rivals St Pats in the banner rugby match Saturday afternoon.
Highlight was chatting with old teacher Elsabie Prasad and her husband, about all sorts of stuff. Was good, that.

  1. The old couch! Fancy that. How did it end up in the ALAC ad?
    I’m trying to remember if I ever fell asleep on that couch. I think it’s likely I did. I am a notorious couch sleeper.

  2. It’s more likely a question of who didn’t fall asleep on that couch.
    “You can never go home again Oatman. But I guess you can shop there.”

  3. A friend of a flattie had to find a student flat for the ad, so he took photos of a few lounges and ours won the ‘most dirty looking alco student flat’ award (even though none of us are actually students anymore!).

  5. The Couch does have a fan club. It just needs to receive some more members dues and then the first club newsletter will be issued.
