Chapter 4: European Equals Overpriced And Annoying
I had conceded defeat. I would call the damned locksmith. Being a Saturday, it turned into an ordeal locating a locksmith that could come out to unlock my doors. I finally got a number that connected and after a short phonecall, it was established that he wouldn't be able to make it out to my place until 6.
Wedding reception starts at 6:30.
So I tell him that will have to do, and I give him my number just in case he can make it earlier. We then had 2 and a half hours to kill, and because Maddy wasn't dressed to be out in public (she only had on a mini-skirt and a singlet top so she could slip from them into her dress) I had to drive her to North Melbourne so that she could hang out with her friend Tsari.
I was now on a mission. I needed to find a new white shirt (because I had completely soaked and dirtied the one I was wearing) and I couldn't go too far from home in case the locksmith called. I headed to a small shopping centre inBrunswick
It turns out when they describe something as European styled, they mean overpriced and annoying. The shirt had double the buttons of a normal shirt, in pairs and even had two buttons almost on top of one another at the neck. When you're wearing a tie, the last thing you want is more bulk right where your Adam's Apple is. This shirt cost me $40, and I swear the extra expense went into the buttons.
As I'm leaving the place at 4:40, the locksmith calls me; he's going to be at my place in 10 minutes.
Great.
So I battleSydney Road
It takes him 30 minutes to finally unlock both locks - apparently my locks are good - and $120 later I'm inside! Huzzah!
