Minno clapped the screen door behind him after jumping off the dog and bone from his misso. Walking again toward the group out back on the patio he swings his arm out and nips up the wireless just enough, being careful not to spill his newly opened stubbie. 
 `` Pick me darts up on the way through can ya Minno?'' sparked Johnny. 
 
 Minno obliged and plopped himself down on a stump next to me. 
 
 Minno and me have been mate for a couple years now. I first met him on a job out past Tarcutta, installing shitters in a new servo they'd just thrown up. He was only a tiny bloke but he was a though cunt that had cinder blocks for arms. That was actually the only time we worked togther bar him and the rest of the boys helping me put this patio together the other week. Despite this, we managed to do a fair job of sticking to one another. 
 
 `` Oi Minno, who was that bird you were putting a length through that blued the publican last time we were down the Gong?'' Macca fired quickly. Jack barely had time to take a sip. 
 
 Macca was everyones mate. Absolutely everyones mate. I'd never seen a bloke before in my life capable of calling cobber on a bunch of fella's he'd biffed with the night before. And not just the regular grab one another a schooey and go back to being another face in the crowd. Him and his roommate, Dick, met when they got into a scuffle with eachother down the Grand a few years back. Macca knocked two teeth out of Dick's mouth and Dick knocked one out of Macca's. They both had a laugh and walked themselves down to the hospital where, and I'm not playing silly buggers with you, They switched a tooth each and had the bloke with the coat put them into the other fella's mouth. About a fortnight on they moved in with one another. 
 
 Johhny lit his dart, inhaled, savoured and exhaled. 
 `` Nah mate, it was Angie that got herself in with the Doggies first grade. Got herself up the duff and they have n't figured out what the go with it is yet.'' 
 
 Johnny was an absolute dickhead. No doubting the bloke, he meant well but just and absolute dickhead at times. A chippie by trade and useless by day, Johnny was the youngest of a family of 6 from out back of Woop Woop. He reckons he did n't have a father and he blames a his slurred r's on a bike accident he had when he was about 6. We're all convinced that the accident did a lot more than just stir his speech up but we usually keep that thought to ourselves. It was actually a rarity to see him out of late since he'd had his second ankle biter. But he told us it had been too long since he had had a choof with the lot of us together so he'd get his aunty to keep watch on the kids. Personally im surprised the boys in blue have n't taken the kids off him considering the amout of times they've pegged him DUI absolutely blind. Like I said though, absolute dickhead. 
 
 `` Are you alright, mate?'' I heard as Macca levered my foot with his. 
 
 `` Yeah sorry about that brother I was caught up on this sheila from Westy's the other week.'' 
 
 Macca dismissed what I had to say to reiterate the question I remained ignorant of. 
 
 `` So did you end up snatching that extra slab for sundee?'' 
 
 `` Oh fuck, yeah sorry, mate. It's in the esky out back I forgot to tell you, ill run and grab it now.'' I hurried myself. 
 
 `` Nah do n't worry about it, I'll go get it mate.'' his words and hand used themselves as a leverage off me to work his way to a standing position. As I turned as he left and swung back into the conversation as he passed me. 
 
 `` Did you pick up those darbs on your way before Minno?'' Johnny puffed. 
 
 `` You've got one in your mouth you bloody tosser!'' 
 
 `` Oh fuck do I?'' Johnny surpised himself. Quickly surprise faded into a smug grin as he wetted his mouth with a swig and took another drag. 
 
 Absolute dickhead.
