JBR Part 2
Bad taste night, one evening at the Sunset café it was decided to have an Ugly shirt night, but there were rules.
Entrance fee was the extraordinarily high amount of 1000r per person (Coins preferable) .Yes that's correct 1000r each, being a group of 19 it meant the POT held the massive sum of 19,000r - which was held at reception security box and we did not want that amount left in our room safe. During this transfer we were accompanied by 2 of the hotels security people in the dead of night so not to be seen... There was also a limit on how much you could spend on your 'Ugly' shirt of 30,000r, now if into that bargain you could also purchase a pair of pants 'all the better'. A 1 week time limit was given and we would meet at the same restaurant next week.
During the week various shopping expeditions were completed as you were also not allowed to show anyone else your shirt until the night. I wrongly thought my wife had bought the 'winning shirt' only to find out it was one for her work... Doh - the eye got better tho and soon I'll be able to see again.
It was hard to explain to the market stall sellers that you wanted to buy an ugly shirt, in the end we would ask for the shirt they had not been able to sell for at least 2 years. Bartering done you exited the stall only to inundated with some of the most horrid fabric creations being now thrust upon us by every other stall holder.
The eventual winner was Janice with a lovely shirt and matching shorts in a bright orange tie-dyed pattern (the shorts split at the crutch when obtaining a drink from the mini-bar).Quite a few of the boys tried to buy the shorts for their partners after the split. It was a great evening and we had some very very funny glances as we entered the restaurant and sat right in the middle of everyone, But I do admit that there was a lady with a lovely floral number who was not with us that could have quite easily taken the pot.... We even toyed with the idea of presenting the money to her.
