This is how I roll……
My name is Brett Partington and I am from Adelaide, South Australia. I am a fashion retailer who enjoys meeting people from all walks of life. I have a passion for music and play drums in a 10 piece band called ‘The Holeproofs’.
I am a unique character who loves a good story and am intrigued by people from all walks of life.This section is a collection of stories and posts all about me and what happens as I go about my day. I will always keep it real and write from the heart. I usually find the funny side in most things, but sometimes have something serious to say. I like entertaining and engaging people and I hope this blog does also.
A few years ago I was asleep in bed when I was abruptly woken by the “Mother of All” critter bites! I was bitten on the face by a 5″ centipede that was huge. The pain was insane and it was such a weird feeling as I felt the poison slowly spreading through my body. I was describing to Tanya how I was feeling when I felt ‘really sick, really quick’ . I had nausea and felt faint. I was crook for 2 days in total and…
Read MoreMy night started out normally enough, but this was soon to change. I drove into town with my girlfriend at the time (Joanne) as we were going out to dinner at Stanley’s Fish Restaurant in Gouger Street. I parked my Holden VK Commodore station wagon a few streets away from the restaurant as town was pretty busy that night. We liked eating at Stanley’s as the service was fast and the fish was always sensational. I ordered my usual 2 pieces of battered whiting with crumbed prawns on the…
Read MoreEveryone has a milestone birthday, and my 21st party was one I will never forget. I had a ‘Hollywood Theme’ and dressed up as Richard Gere in the film ‘ Officer and a Gentleman’. The venue was the Goodwood Baseball Club and no expense was spared. The filmstrip style invitations were amazing and Mum gets full credit for these. She also lashed out on my white Naval uniform costume which was hand sewn by a local tailor, complete with brass navy embossed buttons and Officer’s hat. The uniform was matched exactly to Richard…
Read MoreA few years ago I was asked ‘out of the blue’ to work out at Adelaide’s most elite gym, Next Generation. The guy who asked me was a business colleague named Justin who I could only describe as a complete wanker! You are probably wondering why I was working out with another man?….I always wanted to see the gym, and he was a member, and said he could get me in for a free session and show me around the gym everyone was raving about. Justin picked me up from…
Read MoreI was 15 years old and holidaying down at Port Elliot staying at the ‘Dolphin Apartments’ at Horseshoe Bay. It was Saturday night and Dad wanted to have a boy’s night out so he took my brother and I to the famous Port Elliot Drive in Cinema. It was a warm night in the school holidays and the cinema was packed with cars, however we still managed to get a central position about midway back. We watched a few local Val Morgan advertisements before the main movie then headed for the…
Read MoreYesterday a lady was shopping at Burnside Village. She noticed our advertisement for ‘staff required’ in our window and applied with a staff member in store. I then drove straight from Kent Town to BV, interviewed her, gave her the job on the spot, and had her on the roster within 30 mins before she finished her shopping. I then pondered all the interviews I had done with my existing Sydney Street team members ( who are all SENSATIONAL by the way) and realised I have done exactly the…
Read MoreToday I thought I might share my 46 year old childhood teddy bear “Rupert” . You will note he is ready for the nightclubs and has borrowed a dashing tartan waistcoat from his mate Humphrey. Cutting edge fashion continues to follow me:-) Bear Joke of The Week: Q: what did the teddy bear say after dinner? A: I’m stuffed!
Read MoreThis weekend I spent my time in Dereel (VIC) with good friends from 3 different countries, eating food from their permaculture farm discussing the following topics: Wide comb shearing Living in a bus Asian female culture Sausage making Virtual Reality Insanity Rose propagation Architecture Potato harvesting Chainsaws Watching video of stefan’s arterial bleed from his cut hand Jim Jeffries – the filthy but funny AUSSIE comedian WWOOFERS Solar power zip ties as a human restraint Gun scope lasers Coins Bronson ( movie) Charles Bronson ( tough guy) European Films…
Read MoreJust wanted to thank all of my friends who allowed me to roam the streets back in 1991 with this outfit on. You would think someone would have the courage to come forward and say you look like a “wanker” in those happy pants, not forgetting the Elvis hairdo and Hi Top Nike Sneakers. You should all be ashamed of yourselves…..:)
Read MoreI One of the biggest events during my early teens was the plane crash movie called ‘The Survivor’ which was filmed at Pasadena and Panorama in the early 80’s. I used to enjoy heading down to the movie set each night after school to watch the action. I even grabbed a few pics that I can share today. I was used as an ‘extra’ in the film on one occasion but never made the big screen as the director did not have the right light. If Ihad of made…
