Holiday-ay (biddyboomboomboom)
Well, this time tomorrow Anne, Olly and I will be on a jet plane heading for Perth. Our coach leaves the 'Nam at 2:25am so it's an early night tonight! Hopefully the house of party-boys won't be playing their loud music all night like they were last night. I appear to have rather a lot of jobs to do today in preparation for our trip. I'll try and update this place when I can with pictures, scribblings and general nonsense while we are travelling so you can see what's going down (under).
I'm secretly scared of being bitten by something very venomous or attacked by a croc (that's Australian for crocodile). I'm also scared that I'm not going to be able to resist the temptation of telling everyone I meet to throw another shrimp on the barbie. If I get beaten to a pulp, everything I own goes to Anne (she pretty much owns everything already anyways), except for my Gamecube which goes to Pete because he loves it!
I'm also getting really excited about seeing Steve again and meeting Wei for the first time - hopefully she will like me! It's been about 5 years since I've seen Steve but I suspect that everything will simply pick up where we left off - the insults will start after about 30 minutes and continue until we leave.
Right, I'm off to book a taxi, buy as many different types of mint that I can find, clean my fish out, pack my bags, watch the FA Cup Final and sleep. Laters!
P.S. Apologies to Madonna.
Have a great time mate, if you see any Crocs push Olly in the way :-p Look forward to seeing some pics, will be nice to see Wei as well. 30 minutes before a fro related comment… I doubt it :-p

Have you been practicing your crocodile hunter?
May 15th, 2006 at 12:20 amDear gay one, forgot to say thanks for the Smallville cd… well thought of i think. Hope you, the wife and the other one have a safe trip there, well you’ll probably there by now and I haven’t seen any plane crashes on the news this weekend, so i guess all is well… Anyhow, if anyone offers you a “Cubby”, when you buy a drink… then just say yes. Maybe its just me, but it took me a good couple of weeks and a few blank looks to work out what they were?
Have a good one.
May 15th, 2006 at 3:11 pmThis is very good idea IMHO
May 16th, 2006 at 7:55 amTake care all! Thanks for the sh1tty text at 7:30AM. I really appreciated it!
May 16th, 2006 at 8:12 amSorry I haven’t managed a post so far. We are just about to spend our last night in Oz before heading to Brunei.
Simon - No crocs but have seen some enourmous spiders. Olly was somewhat reluctant to act as a human shield (I can’t imagine why)
Raj - You are welcome, congratulations on being an old bugger. No-one has offered me a cubby; maybe I am not going to the bars of ill-repute that you frequented..?
Pete - Maybe you should find a better bed companion that your mobile phone. Also, it’s not as good as my 3am phone call while recovering from 33 hours travelling!
I have taken about 600 photos so far and have been keeping a travelogue which I will type up and post as soon as possible. Take care y’all!
