Enjoyable Episodes!

23rd Party

Today is Easter Sunday, the 24th of April. The last week... slash... two weeks has been a slight blur. I must say however, some of the most enjoyable moments of my time here in Australia. Not only have I been doing well at work and enjoying it thoroughly, I have been consuming some fine ales, sourcing the tenderest of steaks and spending time with friends and making the most of each minute.

Yes, I know... It is a great life. In my right hand I have a
beer, and in my left hand my cock... only joking.

Alex - he who likes to Party.

Recently a friend of mine has arrived to the land of spider, snakes, expensive beer and sluts. His name is Alex Burnet Ward and this man LIKES TO PARTY. What i would like to add, this fellow public school gentleman hasn't been sober since arriving on the turf and his consumption of Cutlers Choice Tobacco should be rewarded.


So. To let you fellow fans of this remarkable blog know, I am currently enjoying a Tooheys Extra Dry whilst listening to a new favourite - Jamie Woon.

Luca, Gav and Moi @ Team Party

My birthday occurred on Thursday last week. I turned 23 years old. My mother turned 45 (lol jokes).

Good old Jane had a cracker of a birthday. So did I. I had a beer, i'm not going to lie. Jessica Tily hosted a glorious shin dig at her place and it was made complete by my attendance. Of course it was. (Jess got two hickeys from a chap called Congo in the back of a Toyota 4x4. Cute.)

Wesley the Rottweiler 

Its brilliant, in Australia over easter we have 3 public holidays. Friday, Monday and Tuesday. Thats cause for concern isn't it. What made it better, my birthday was on the Thursday before, so i took this off work and reaped a LONNNGGG weekend.

Sarah Beins getting moustached!

I must say, on Thursday (the day of my birth), I did miss my friends and family back home. It isn't easy to be 10,000 miles away. Luckily though i have made some good friends over here and that took my mind off it slightly!

Sam - stop being a soppy bastard. 

I am back to work on Wednesday where I am going to drop my pants in the office so I can get a couple of quick deals. If successful, I shall be flying to the UK soon for an all expenses paid trip courtesy of Marcus Evans. Fingers Crossed I do well!

Now is the time for me to depart and eat treacle tart. On a final note, Mike Hickey - good luck with the new cricket season old chap, do yourself proud and hit em in the stingers. See off a beer and get chopping! LAD LAD LAD! x

P.s.Here is a line for all of you enthusiastic chaps who want to pick up in a bar... "Are you a parking ticket? [what?] You got FINE written all over your face."

Aussie Tunes...

Pez & 360

So... i have come across some pretty cool bands and DJ's since being over here. Its pretty cool that the aussie rap sounds aussie... Kind of like how english rap sounds english to be honest. That was an exciting sentence. Cute.

Anyway, back to business... Click on the titles of the song, I have linked them to the videos i think are worth a listen. Please enjoy!

p.s. im not a great music critic, so please excuse the shitness of this lol cute lol!


Pez feat. 360 - The Festival Song (see top right)
This song is a classic in Aussie Eyes. It was released back in 2009 by Pez who is an Aussie Rapper. I would call this a typical Road Trip Tune... This is deffo one for the English Summer. 9/10.

Little Red

Little Red - Rock It
Little Red is a band from Melbourne who have an intriguing mix of rock and roll, Rnb, and blues encorporating my favourite instrument - the HARMONICA! this is a great tune, pretty chilled out. i like. 8/10.

Miami Horror

Mashups by 'The Hood Internet'
Came across this music blog and mashups whilst scanning around at work. Some awsome mixes in here. No idea how to download them though. In all, a good mix! 8/10.


Miami Horror - Holidays
Definitely one for Subtone on a Saturday night... This would remix into something special. Again, this i can imagine smashing out of my car speakers on the way to watch Mike play cricket for Bredon on a sunny day. Its nice and funky with a happy, uplifinting, dancing beat. 8.5/10.

The Bums Of Sydney...

Sydney is a wealthy city - from what I have experienced. However I have noticed and witnessed a rather large amount of homeless in and around Sydney. Some are nice, some are not. Some are well dressed, some are not. Some smile, some do not smile. Some sit there with a cup and a sign asking for money, some approach you begging for spare change. Some give you a story as to why they are homeless and why they need money and some don't. 

There are some that are full of character, who sing, talk gibberish, wear fancy dress, have a beer for breakfast and a bottle of wine for lunch.

I give spare change when I have any to a homeless man on the corner of Bathurst and Pitt Street in Sydney. Most mornings at 8am he is kneeling on a financial newspaper on the pavement, with black feet, head on the floor - in a praying position. He simply has a white plastic cup in front of him which people - if generous enough can put some silver change in.

I have managed to capture a couple of these bums on camera. One who looks like my old man Roger (right) and another like Santa Claus (above). At the end of the day some choose to live their lives this way and some do not. I think these guys I caught on camera are content. They are regulars to Town Hall in Sydney, most of the time with a beer and drew in hand.  By the way a Drew is an Aborigine word for a cigarette.
