Found outside the Bassendean Hotel, a hotel where I was expecting to see poodles and metrosexuals, but instead it was totes hi vis and smokers. Even some old timey beer guts, (bought and paid for darl). But perhaps there’s hope for the Basso after all.

Rolf would never criticize a dangling convivial.

But I’m not sure ROFL’s into 21-year-olds.

The story thus far : Rolf was at the Basso for the Queen’s enunciation when he knocked back a 21 year old and an Emu Export , at the same time.

This – and the whole Bassendean Hotel scene as you describe it – has got performance art writ all over it. No question that it bears Yoko Ono’s trademark wit and grace. They say her early work holds a strong Rolf Harris influence. How typical that near career’s end she returns full circle. And has a dig at McCartney en route. Genius.

I’m not sure the Basso drinkers would be “Asian compliant”. Be a bit of the “We got ourselves a Chi-nee!” action.

There is some irony to the title of the cassette considering where it ended up.

Paul McCartney. The Kevin McCleod of Pop. Look up Graeme Bird Paul is Dead. Best comedy ever. Also Graeme Bird Moon Landings.
I seem to have lost track there. Anyway, Mcartney is a cunt
