Jesus saves to D drive

This is the scene at a computer shop internet cafe on Beaufort street.  I like the dinosaurs. Surely a contender for worst interior design. It’s a flatpack available from IKEA. I’m not sure if Jesus or minor underling making wit the sourpuss. Odd. You could fit two more computers there.

    And he paused on the road to Damascus, prior to smiting the Christians, and he saw the Internet cafe, and it was good.

    The decor was none too Flash, but then came a voice from the LORD:

    “For the gate of the shop there shall be screens of twenty cubits, of blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of a weaver, with their four pillars and their four sockets.”

    And he threw in some dinosaurs too and saw it was good.

    I know this guy, and the shop… he used to have a record store, but it was going out of business so he converted it into an internet cafe… I somehow got drawn into a conversation with him on God and life and every whacked out theory he has on why we’re here…

    He made that cross himself and he has a bath tub out the back for impromptu baptisms… just so you know for next time :)

    A bathtub? Really? Yes, I seem to remember a record shop there. Don’t see too many using internet cafe either. Not really a spot with that many visitors needing it.

    The record store was truly weird. The most eclectic opening hours I’ve ever come across. It would be closed all day Saturday, and then open when I stumbled home from the pub at about 1am. Mysterious ways…

      From memory… he was… recovering… from some sort of temptation from the devil.

      I had a conversation with him in 2000 or so when we ran the record store and was trying to flog 486s at what I considered to be premium prices, and resolved never to go there again.

      Maybe I should head back there and start clicking on random websites from THAT wikilinks page (which I shall not link to for fear of Mr Lazy Aussie being imprisoned).

      Actually, with a USB drive and a bit of scriptin’….

    I can’t ever recall seeing anyone in that shop, either buying a record, using the internet, or buying all those crappy salvaged PC’s that litter the place.

    I can’t understand how he stays in business – I always assumed it was a front for something else.

    It’s a bit of a lost strip, that. I once got my hair cut in the totally bare salon two doors up. Couldn’t cut hair for shit.

    still, if you want a kebab, a dodgy haircut, buy some crappy secondhand junk, and to use the Internet before your capoeira class – this is the place to go.

    @ 5 Bento

    Don’t you just love those places, Bento ? There was one in the early 80s called Alaska which I’m guessing nodody else will recall because it was open so infrequently, at such bizarre hours, and was staffed by what seemed like work experience conscripts from the methadone clinic nearby. I guess you could very loosely describe it as a grocery store, but the shelves were almost all bare, and the few items for sale were so random as to defy the imagination. It was on the eastern side of William Street, Northbridge, just north of Newcastle Street, next door to and across the road from knockshops, just along from the aforementioned clinic.

    As bizarre as all that was, my most surreal moment there was at about 2am, buying a litre of Coke for my beloved, and yes, wearing naught but her dressing gown, when who should bowl in but Greedy and Reg from Mentals, who were obviously touring at the time. The fact that they barely glanced at me yet stared open mouthed at Alaska was testament to its peculiarity. Can anyone confirm that Alaska wasn’t just a bad dream/trip ?

    “I don’t concentrate on negative people

    You sit there and ridicule this man for his failings from the safety and comfort of your homes and I suppose this makes you feel empowered?
    Who the hell are any of you to judge him. Even if his views on life and the way he practices his business is somewhat unconventional, he does none of you any harm. And yet you judge him, comment on his life and laugh at his misfortunes when you know very little about him.
    I see a man trying to reach out for some compassion and all you can do is belittle him.
    Shame on you, indeed!
    I truly doubt that any of you would have the heart and positive outlook on life that Henk does if you were to suffer similar hardships in your lives!
    How would you feel if this was your Uncle, or Father, or Brother? Would you still laugh at him and abuse him so??
