Dunedin Man Completes Epic Walk of Shame

DUNEDIN: Dunedin man Daniel Duncan, 21 completed an epic journey when he arrived back at his flat at 3:00pm Sunday, having completed an approximately 8km Walk of Shame, from South to North Dunedin.

"I meet this girl in Champions Sports Bar on George St, which is kind of a mystical netherworld, where bogan South Dunedin meets student orientated North" explained Duncan. "She was definitely semi bogan, but I would defy anyone to describe her as a full blown petrol head.

Anyway I woke up in the morning at her place in the depths of South Dunedin. I made my excuses and fled, heading North like some giant hungover homing pigeon."

"It was really quite a journey," mused Duncan solemnly. "It was like I was some kind of modern day Marco Polo. It was hard going at first through the frozen tundra of the South, but after about two hours I hit George St, and popped into that bakery in the Octagon to grab a Jimmie's pie."

Duncan then had a poke around Echo Records, before embarking on the final leg of his journey the fifteen minute jaunt to his shared flat in St David St, where he was welcomed as a conquering hero. After explaining his evening to his flatmate Pete and then again to Chris upon his return from KFC, Duncan announced plans to spend the rest of the day "Sifting on the couch," and maybe watching some domestic rugby league, before going back to Champions later in the evening.
