Did you have a good Christmas party?

Why is it at every xmas work party I've been to everyone always gets absolutely plastered? I had mine on Friday. It was at a Vinyard which was more like a wine bar because I didn't see orchades about. Anyways unlimited beer/wine/spirits from 6pm until close. It was veeeeeeeery messy. And they didn't have any of the standard english beers like stella or fosters. Only fancy imports so I was lovin it.

It's the best chance to catch up on all the company gossip. Who is the bastard of which department etc. And then there are the random get togethers where co-workers have had secret feelings building up over the year who then go ahead and make an arse of them selves and then have the uncomfortable Monday morning.

I guess its only natural that this stuff happens. You spend more time at work then you would with say your family or friends. So there can be a lot of built up tension/feelings. And it doesn't take much for it all to come flowing out. Plus its always very funny seeing your boss completely smashed!

All this happened on Friday and I loved every minute of it! No matter how plastered I get I seem to always remember all of the night. And there where sooooo many funny parts. I had one hell of a horrible hangover though.

End of Era's

First of all farewell to Club Troppo ... It closed last saturday 9th of December .. or did it ???

A few weeks ago Sara had tipped me off to the club actually closing a week early. Yet due to the continual advertising about the 9th i assumed the club would have to remain open on the 9th... Never-the-less i made sure myself and my girl went up the week before for abit of fun anyway...

Wise decision Jonny, and good sleuthing Sara ! As during the week i received a text message saying that "due to saftey concerns" troppo would not be open on the 9th ... Thus troppo shut a week early, and hoodwinked alot of people.... Had i not signed up my mobile number i would not have know and would have ventured up on the weekend with a large crew of boys ....

I'm wondering just how much damage was done to the Central Coast, as i assume hundreds of like minded gangs of Wogs, Skips, Chinks, etc etc went up there to exploit the local women one last time, to find that their long drive was all for naught .. !

The other Era endeth i speak of is our Netball team !!! Once a way for disgruntled Barrenjoey year 12 members to vent there discontent, now a great way of keeping in contact with the gang (10 points if u can work out where i stole that line from)

Dale, Amanda, Jodi leaving for overseas, plus the retirement of Tom mid-season has meaned it will not be financially viable to continue the team this season. Unless 5 or so people would like to apply for the team ofcourse !!

The team went through a variety of names and players, and won several Premierships and Minor Premierships. Attached here is the Honour roll of players who have participated..

Original Team
Dale Drain
Amanda Drain
Tom Moore
Tim Kerr
Jodi Martin (c)
Andy Bignal
Liz Ulman
Jonny Spicer-Bell

Current Team (as of last season)
Dale Drain
Amanda Drain
Tom Moore
Julia Moore
Anne Marie Johnson
Eliza
Jonny Spicer-Bell (c)

Another day another pound

It sure was cold coming to work today! Looking at UK weather its 4 degrees outside. I don't have to worry though as its nice and toasty here in the office with my cup o tea!

Anyone been downloading Heroes? It's a new TV series currently being aired in the US. My fav tv show on right now. Anyone with fast net and available download usage should get it. I guarantee you will be hooked. Its kinda like xmen meets lost.

Just to re-cap, I was up at Port Stevens fri, sat, then a party in newcastle sat evening, before Club Troppo 2nd Last Nite...

Port Stevens was gold, a quaint little holiday house was the base camp. Spent most of Friday swimming at the beaches, after the long trip up there in the morning ofcourse.Friday nite had an awesome fish n chips meal, people up there are heaps nice, so unlike the cruel villians of sydney haha.

Saturday we trekked out to the Island which can be walked over at low tide. We got there a bit to early and just lied on the beach waiting for the tide to drop. I showed off to Georgie my sand castle making skills, and also my biology skills after finding a huge jellyfish to explain.

Eventually the tide was low enough and we waded over in waist deep water, then walked up the island, it was eerily quiet ... knowing we were the only people on this huge island ... we got to the lighthouse on the other side ... and funnily enough we met this old man there, we took some photos with him, but after checking them today, theres no sign of him !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wooooooooooooooooooooooooo....

That night we stopped into the nearest Norfolk Safehouse in Newcastle for a few drinks - had some KB Lager, the stuff Reg Reagan made famous .. disgusting .. worst than VB !

Finally we hit Club Troppo .. and then to top it off, just after midnight ... BLACKOUT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! power is cut !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

chaos, madness, there was almost a riot as the guards wouldnt let people back down to the main building. So for 1 hour, people milled around, with no drinks, no electricity, no music, few lights, before finally they opened the fire escape doors, and kicked everyone out in the street. By then the humour was lost on us, and we bailed back to Sydney...

I cant wait for next week, hopefully a huge boys night out to troppo can be organised.


View to the Island, with the flooded causeway in between .. for now we wait ..








and Jonny builds a Fort, as I understand it still stands to this day.












F*CK IM SICK OF UPLOADING PHOTOS, and half oif them just dissapeared...

blooger 1, jonny 0, u f*cking c**t

this is me on the dfloor in troppo, just assume u saw the slick ones of us on the liughtouse, the power cutting, the evil fire escape, and the troppo refund queue.

f*ck u blogger for tarnishing my weekend, otherwise all good

cricket

Looks like yesterdays game wasn't quite the smashing it was for the first match. Are we going to still kill them or might this game be a little more close?

premier league

We got a big game tomorrow. Matto's beloved Everton vs my local west ham.

Everton are higher on the table than westham but they are missing the aussie star Cahill due to injury so we are in for a chance!
