4:28 pm	Uni I havn't updated for a while... Thought it was about time I did. I'm at university now and its ace. What else can I say? Freshers week was a lot of fun. So far I'm having one of the best weekends I've had in ages. Davey G the legend came round friday night, we went to eat at the lawns cafeteria then went to the union bar on uni campus. There we met up with my frisbee team (of which I'm the captain I might add ;) ) then the three-pint challenges commenced. A three pint challenge is when you pour 3 pints of beer into a frisbee and drink it as a pair as fast as you can through mcDonalds straws! Me a Davey G were first to step up, it took us a pitiful 2 and a half minutes, then I went a threw-up! haha. Liz put us all to shame by doing a 3 pint challenge with Howard I think in about 20 seconds! Anyway... After that we went downstairs to the Johhny Mac bar where 'Funky' was being held. It was so good, all the DJs and MCs were fantastic, but especially Tony Vegas from the Scratch Perverts, omfg. So good. Last night I went to Asylum. Music was cheese but I was with a lot of people, and most of those were really hot girls! I pulled that night =] Not mentioning any names though. The night ended by the girl that I pulled getting very jealous because I gave another girl a piggy-back-ride to the taxi rank for whatever reason... Women. Its all good though! Today was ultimate frisbee practice, we played indoor and outdoor, I played like shit, but I am impressed with our n00bs this year. They are all quite talented. We'll have a good student team this year I'm sure. Anyhoo, thats all for now. (2 Comments |Comment on this)

6:50 pm	Update Its been a while since I updated now init. It was Gordon's wedding on saturday just gone. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I totally don't agree with people who aren't religious and never go to church getting married in church, declaring their love for each other in the presence of God, the same God these people have never been to visit. :s Not sure what posessed Gordon to get married in a church, probably his MRS. The dinner after the service was alright tho! Waited on hand and foot, plus Stu (best man) gave me the chance to apologise to Gordon in front of every one for not being able to be best man. I didn't really want to do it anyway but he is still my friend... The night doo was alright too, I got leathered then went to Spiders lol Spiders was packed, the queue just to get in was massive. I met Ash in there. He was wankered. I drank even more! Then at kicking out time Ash fucked off with some lass and left me, said he couldn't find me. I spent ages looking for him... then ended up setting off to walk home. Its about 14 miles, luckily after a couple of miles I spotted a taxi dropping some 1 off so I jumped in it and got home ok. Went to bed at about 5.30am. Sunday was a great day... My mate Dan from brid came on the train with his girlfriend Sabrina. We started drinking at about 2pm! Cos of my dad, he just kept handing out beer! Norma & Chris (aunt and uncle), Ash came round, we lit the BBQ, then Gina & Dave arrived. Just after we started noshing Davey G the legend turned up too :D My mate Dan is the best guitar player... Ever. Full stop. He played my old mans guitar, he was oh-so good. Dan and Sab's train home was at 1922 from Hull station. Bah bollox to that! They ended up staying and drinking more and had a little bit to smoke :D What a night, Smoking with my folks, brutha, Dan & Sab! Went to bed about 12:30, up for work at 8am. Dan & Sab got a lift to train station even earlier than that when my dad went to work. Worth it though in my opinion! I'm moving out of my house to go to uni on saturday. Looking forward to it. I'll keep you updated, hopefully if my computer is fixed (this one I'm using is my 2nd PC). Peace out (Comment on this)

8:26 pm	HOLIDAYS I just got back from two weeks in Turkey. Fabulous fabulous. Two weeks of doing precisely nothing. Lots of eating and sunbathing, and swimming in the sea and Grandma's swimming pool. Started off in Istanbul, few nights there then we (My buddy Cemil, his sister Nimet, his girlfriend from USA Laura, and his Auntie Gül) drove south to a place called Iasos where there is another family home right on the waters edge, quite near Bodrum. Me, Cemil, Nimet & Laura spent a night in a hotel in Bodrum one night. Went for a good drinking session that night, Nimet and I didn't finish til 4 am lol then up at 5:45 am to get on Grandpa's yacht to cruise across the ocean to his olive farm. Wow. Spent about a week there just swimming in the sea, going out on the paddleboat, eating - a lot of eating and sunbathing! What a life. Back to Iasos for a couple nights, then flew back to Bodrum. Now I'm home :( And its raining :( I have work to look forward to tomorrow :( I just spoke to Karen for the first time since I saw her in Australia on the phone, gonna go for a drink or three hopefully this weekend. Going to go see Ash tomorrow for a good chinwag though :) Thats something to look forward to :) Gotta call mah main man Davey G now. Seeya bye (Comment on this)

7:52 pm	Disappointing... Well then... It was my mate Gordon's stag doo last weekend... could have fooled me. What a disappointment. I arrived at Gordon's house at about 9 o clock friday morning (had to take the day off work). At about 10am a mini bus with all Gordon's mates arrived at his house to pick us up. Fifteen kids poured out of this mini bus. I didn't know most of them so it was quite nerve wracking for me as well as Gordon, I was a bit nervous and didn't really want to go, just in case they were all tossers! It turned out that they were all the nicest guys, Gordon is lucky to have friends like them. Anyway, a group of them pounced on Gordon and made him change into a gold leotard and a white tutu, highly amusing! So we sort ourselves out and set off on the four hour plus journey to go to Brands Hatch for the world Super Bike race meet down there that weekend. After a couple of hours of driving and lots of rowdy men shouting and being rowdy and me thinking 'what have i got myself into!?' we stop at some services. Gordon moaned like fuck about the costume so we gave in and let him put his t-shirt on under the leotard. Then one of the lads got out a ball and chain and locked it to his ankle. Then Gordon spat out his dummy and started throwing his toys out of his pram. he took off his tutu and leotard while we were all in the services and walked around in his underpants and t-shirt cos we wudn't let him back in the van. Then he started kicking off 'I'm going to go home' he said 'I've got enough money, I'm going home in a taxi I'll come back in my car', 'I don't find this funny at all' He said. Alright, we'll get him to Brands Hatch and then he won't be able to get away, we thought. After arriving at Brands and setting up tents etc, we planned a night in the nearest town, Bexley Heath. Really nice place, loads of nice drinking establishments, loads of nice totty! After a few beers we decide its time to eat. Pizza Hut here we come. Seventeen of us :D We all order, beer for every 1, except Gordon. Gordon has a coke... Can you believe it? Finish in Pizza hut, head back to camp, no point in staying out. Few more beers back at base, stag doo declared officially over, decided that we'd try have a good weekend without saying any more about it. Saturday woke up about 7.30. Already boiling in the tent, already a lovely day outside. Time to get ready and go watch practice. It was a beautiful day, had a walk round, some of the guys were buying t-shirts and the like. went topless all day like every1 else started to get a nice tan! Saturday night we hung around camp and drank, threw my disc around a bit, drank some more! BBQ for tea lovely jubbly! We went for a walk around the funfair and that, went to see some live music, think it was one of the riders singing, they were quite good. A small group of us had a funny time hanging around outside the burger van til the early hours chatting with various people, one of which was the spitting image of Golum from Dragonball lol! Gordon had already gone to bed though, he went about 11pm, I don't even remember going to bed! Gordon had about three beers all night. I got legless! Thing is there was a Daily Sport tent (full of Daily Sport strippers) round there... If it was a stag weekend like it was supposed to be we all could have gone in there and had a right laugh, Gordon would have been spoiled rotten! But we didn't, because he didn't deserve it, and nobody wanted to spend the money going in without a good reason. Gutted. Sunday, woke up about 7.30 rough as a badgers arse. Time to get ready to go watch some racing. BBQ for breakfast, brilliant! Went on track side, found a nice little seating area, no easy task when there are 17 of you wanting to sit together and the circuit is already very full! Didn't take off my top that day, it was too hot, didn't want to get burnt, I don't like sun burn! Every one else got burnt though! Lobster men lol. The racing was quite good, exciting, but I havn't seen any World Super Bike races this year because World Super Bikes is shit this year so I didn't really know who every 1 was. Races over, go and pack up the tents, set off home. I spent about £150 on this, what a waste. And all the stuff Stu, the best man, had sorted out for him too. We smuggled his leathers and helmet aboard the van so he could have a ride in a side car, but we didn't give him the chance because he didn't deserve it, just like the team shirt signed by half the teams in the paddock, Stu's going to put that on ebay... Thoroughly disappointing. Got home about 2am, up for work at 8.30 :/ Nearly fell asleep at my desk several times at work today lol its 8.30 pm now, think i'll go to bed! Night night (2 Comments |Comment on this)

7:08 pm	Stuff since wkend Went to work on monday, spent all day pulling staples out of documents, seperating some pages from the document, then paper clipping what was left of the orginal document back together... And if that sounds boring thats because it is. On monday night I introduced Davey G to the world of exercise! That was fun. I felt he had a good hammering, not bad for a first timer, I'm looking forward to upping the pace a bit when he gets a bit stronger, fitter etc. Provided I don't scare him off first! He'll be reet, and its great for me too cos I have a training partner. Its hard to get motivated on your own. I hope he keeps at it. Tuesday was a mad day, had a txt waiting for me from Cemil. Work was mad too. Got in 30 mins early, started rearranging the desks in the office. Wot an easy day for me, just stood back and watched! Met Davey G for lunch, spent an hour doing that. Went home at 5. Nice. Seeya then (Comment on this)
6:26 pm	Cool times I have been so lazy since I got back to England. I don't go to the gym any more, I have stopped reading... All I seem to do these days is see my friends, get drunk and play video games. I have two of Cemil's books, the plan was to read them and give him them back when I see him in Turkey in August. At the rate I'm going I won't have read them, I've only read the first chapter of one of the books, not even looked at t'other :/ But on the plus side I'm having a hell of a lot of fun :D I've been spending a lot of time with Ash just recently, hes a really good kid. We have very similar interests, such as video games, getting pissed, women, and such and such! I'm buying his old X-Box, just need to get it fixed first! I had another great weekend. Started on Thursday night last week! Went to Queens in Hedon with Ash and met up with Adam Shep, my cous Alan and Joe. 5 Pints of Wife Beaters later I went home quite drunk! I don't remember a great deal but I know it was a laugh! Got my kebab all down my t-shirt... All ways the sign of a top night. I had a rough day at work on friday LOL Had to do jobs where I could sit down, it made my stomach feel a bit less like a rolling sea! Friday night got on the bus and met Ash at Rotal Mail pub in Thorngumbald for some rub-a-dub-dub (grub). We were joined by Rachel. Ordered a sizzling BBQ chicken, poor girl burnt her thumb when she brought it out to me! Shame cos she was cute. Left Pub very stuffed and had to walk to Hedon, as there were no buses :/ It was all right tho. Watched Bo Selecta, but I was in no fit state to remember what happened, I know it was funny though! Saturday... Got up early to do a bit of shopping in town. Bought two cool T-shirts from Gap, a really cool T-shirt from TK Maxx and a pair of smart trousers for work etc. Happy with my purchases. Oh also went and got my ear pierced, at the top of my left ear. :D Went to Ash's (Wearing one of my new Gap T-shirts :D ), went to Queens, met up with Nev. Not seen Nev in a while, was nice to see him. Had a drink in Queens then hit the town, oh we got rained on, surprise surprise. Went to Admiral, met up with Davey G, fresh back from Torquay, (Dave you are a legend (leg end ;) ) I spent most of my time looking out for Hannah and Charlie as I was hoping to bump into them. But I didn't, totally gutted. Going out with women in your group is much more fun. Went to Lloyds bar, then Nev decided it was time for hime to go home, Byee Nev. So me and Dave and Ash went on to 3 John's. Getting a bit pissed now, about time form Spiders night club then! :D What place, we (me and dave) waited in the queue for ages, Ash pissed off and went inside by some stroke of genius, the door man just let him walk straight in! Damn. Good times ensued in Spiders :D Don't really remember what happened though, I do remember my Captain Bastard tho lol drink made up of two shots of vodka, two shots of rum and a dash of orange for colour! Lol Ash came up with that one now its on the menu at Spiders! Ash you fucked up legend! Needless to say the drink was the most disgusting thing I've ever had! Left spiders at kicking out time, bought some dodgy chips with curry from the dodgy burger van outside! Got most of it down my T-shirt lol, I'm good at that! Time to find a bed to sleep in. Found Ash, he was with Rachel, so we all 3 of us got a taxi to Rachel's. Dave went to Ant's I think. Got the old stella out, couldn't drink any cos I was already hammered! Went upstairs to Rachel's room were Ash got in bed and passed out! Me and Rachel stayed up a bit to annoy Ash, by hand cuffing him and tickling him with a vibrator lol Top entertainment! Sunday - BRITISH MOTO GP TIME BABY. Went downstairs, telly on, Eurosport thanks very much. Spent from 11.30 til 3 watching bikes :D Yum. Then me and Ash went into town. Had a walk round, ate some Burgerking, blah blah. Went to Gamestation, spotted TOCA Race Driver 2 (V8 Supercars 2 Cemil and any one else in Oz) Oh yes, Ash went to get money out the bank machine, but while doing so the shop began its kicking out procedure to close. I wasn't having any of it so I bullied/persuaded the guy to let us in... He did in the end and am I glad he did, cos that game is amazing. Waiting for the bus back to Ash's and who else should turn up, none other than 'Mouth'! I mean Sam, Charlotte's (ex's little sister) mate from mine and Rich's night out a few weeks back. She likes to talk about herself but I don't mind because she's quite funny and quite cute! lol Got back to Ash's, stuck TOCA Race Driver 2 on the old X box and had a right good time, what a game. Loads to do, very challenging just a great game... Left Ash's about 9.30, went home, slept. K Fanx Bye (Comment on this)

10:00 pm	Another good weekend Started on friday night where it normally begins. Left work and went to play Ultimate, that was good. I like playing frisbee with my team much more than when I played in Oz with near strangers. Went to Gordon's after that all hot and sweating. Tried to sort out a PC his mate gave him. This poota was so old I think he did his mate a favour by taking it, so his mate didn't have to pay some 1 to dispose of it! We couldn't get it to work because the motherboard had an old style keyboard socket ie bigger than normal! Burn it. Burn it all. Saturday... Washed the ped, went and picked up my Flight tix :D Off to Turkey soon, going to see my main man Cemil on 10th August :D Can not wait! Went and picked up my Nintendo 64 from the post office :D Oh yes N64 rules baby. Went to Hedon in my bro's car with John, to pick up Ash, he forgot I was coming and got the bus into town to meet us. Spanner! lol Went to john's pad. The lovely Emma was there already. Set up the N64 for some multiplayer Goldeneye etc... Muchos fun. Ash came round after doing a bit of shopping even though I don't think he bought anything :S Me and Ash soon got stuck into the Kronenbourg :D Then off to town for a few pints of Wife beaters! Took some cheeky photo's with Ash's new camera phone! ;) Then to Spiders. Met up with Bro and Emma and Kate and that. Soon as we got in I lost Ash, saw him about 3 times all night :s Oh well spent lots of time with emma having the usual drunken conversations! Slept in Emma's bed that night, that was nice - Nothing happened you filthy minded buggers. Sunday, more video games. Went home, had tea, went to see Ash. More video games! YES (1 Comment |Comment on this)

8:47 pm	Bored Ever since I got back to this stinkin country its done nothing but rain. I mean it too. Since I got home there hasn't been a single day, from sun up to sun down where its just been 'nice', and its soooo fu@king depressing. I bought a scooter thinking i would be better off, but today I started to think 'maybe I should have bought a car'. And you know why that is... Yes, because of the weather. I keep nearly falling off the damn scoote when the roads are wet though :/ Very scary. I had frisbee practice on wednesday night, first time since I got home. And not for the lack of turning up, we've either had nobody turning up, or the weathers been crap, damn that weather :/ It was strange, it was like I've not been away. Its really starting to feel like that now, that I was never gone, its quite upsetting. Enough of my chuntering for now. (Comment on this)

10:20 pm	Ace Weekend Hi My weekend was ace, started at my friend Ash's house in Hedon after work. Had a few beers, pld some Xbox, listened to music and watch the funniest program on UK TV at the moment 'Bo Selecta'. Soo funny. Saturday went to work for 9am, easy morning, left at 13.00. Went straight to the chip shop for a chip butty (sandwich). Then on my 'ped to fly across to the other side of town to go to the travel agent (holiday hypermarket'. Traffic was busy because there was some kind of parade going to happen, but that didn't slow me down any on my 'ped, that 'ped is sooo much fun in town :D Went into Holiday Hypermarket grabbed a ticket to join the queue. Bought a chuppa chups lolly in there which turned out to be banana chocolate... I'd rather eat wasps. So i pocketed it and sat down. My number was called out and so I sat down opposite Kara and told her I needed flights only to Istanbul. There where a few to choose from but the ones that landed and departed Istanbul where not close enough to Cemil's flight times so I ended up texting him about it... Texting turned into getting him to call me, on the holiday hypermarkets phone. Talked to Cemil and decided on a good flight... T'was good to hear his voice. When we finished sorting my flight out I gave Kara that chuppa chups lolly. Went to see my mate Adam, trying to plan going out that night. He said he had no money and couldn't go out. Now from about 6-8 people I originally asked, down to just me and Rich. Oh well we went out anyway! We had areally good time. Went in Queens in Hedon first for a couple of drinks while we waited for Riki to give us a lift into town. Riki didn't seem interested at all in meeting up with us so Rich booked us a taxi for 9pm. At five minutes to nine my ex-girlfriends younger sister, Charlotte, walked bye and saw me and came over and kissed me and hugged me and oh she is so HOT, and thats an awful lot of and's. Gutted cos the taxi was on its way, luckily taxi didn't turn up, so we sat and chatted to Charlotte and her friend Mouth, I mean Sam. What a gob on her, she certainly likes talking about herself. But Charlotte was hot and that made up for it! Rich booked another taxi, we invited the girls to come along even though Mouth was starting to annoy us! They refused because Charlotte had work in the morning (i know, working on sunday :/ ). Me and Rich were kinda glad they didn't come. We went to Goose and Granite, then to sharkeys, and then it was kind of a blur after that! Went to Biaritz, then to Pozition night club, £8 to get in omg. We bumped into Riches mates, but they annoyed Rich and so we left, to go to Heaven and Hell night club. Pretty good in there, Rich locked his auto pilot to track some young lass, who had a really hot friend, that turned out to be fifteen, argh jail bait. Couldn't get a taxi for love nor money. Called a few people to come get us, my dear mother came to pick us up, at 3.30 in the morning! We had walked as far as the prison already though, about 2 miles! My old lady dropped us in Hedon at Riches place. Woke up at 09.36 :/ Time to get up and go see the lovely Charlotte at work! Charlotte was very ill, hung over from the previous night. She was rat-arsed when I saw her at 9pm! She told us how she'd been sick at work, and was going home in ten minutes, so we offered to give her a lift home. About 30 minutes later Charlottes replacement turned up. Dropped Charlotte off and she asked me if I wanted to go inside to see her mum, I did, mum wasn't there! Time for me and Rich to head to mine for bacon banjo's (sandwich) and to look at my holiday pics before going to 'The Hub' a LAN cafe on Newland ave. It was really cool. Loadsa computers and a fancy looking snack bar. Rich and Andy have their own room upstairs for practicing their Counter Strike skills cos they get sponsored to play by 'The Hub' So I sat in there for seven hours playing such games as Team Fortress Classics, Counter Strike, Half Life death match. Talked to the lovely Hannah on MSN messenger while there. We had hoped to bump into each other whilst we were out the previous night, but I was gutted I hadn't when I found out Sam was with her. Sam is a hot little cutie with a brand new mini! Gutted I missed her. Sunday night left 'The Hub' and went to ashes, Davey G was there after returning from the British F1 GP, jammy sod. Chilled out at Ash's then missed the bus home. Rich gave me lift though, what a guy :D And thats my ace weekend! (Comment on this)

9:56 am	Home now Yesterday morning I went with my folks, dropped my mum off at work and went with my dad into town. I saw Hull with new more experienced eyes and I wasn’t impressed with what I saw, Hull is such a dump with the ugliest buildings I’ve ever seen. Oh well I’m stuck here for the next three years now because of uni. I’m glad they’re tearing down the city centre around Ferensway and re-developing it. My dad went to see Manpower, no one was there to see him :/ Tossers. So we went for a coffee to wait and we had a right bitter rant about how shit Hull is. We went back to Manpower but still no one was there to see him, so we left and went to see Gordon @ Miles’. He tried to sell me a Typhoon 125 scooter (sorry Dave – Scooté!) No thanx! I spent the rest of the day sorting uni out and trying to find a job. Oh I had a play on the driving range and saw Alan while I was there! Most fun. Davey G came round that night, its so good being able to see all my people whenever I like now. (2 Comments |Comment on this)
9:56 am	Flight home My first entry since I got home, I tried to do it this morning but just as I was about to finish my computer crashed :@ Not very happy at all. Its very strange being at home, It was good to see every body though. I’m so tired. Now it almost feels like I was never gone and I admit I really don’t like that. Sunday 6th of June I got up at about 9am got ready and checked out of the Wake Up. Dragged my luggage down to my usual internet café at about 10am and sat and played on the internet for a couple of hours. I bought my old man a fathers day present, I’m not going to say what in case he reads this! Went back up to the Wake Up to catch a shuttle bus to the airport. The driver was a right nutcase, changing lanes in front of people, U-turns on main roads, I made it to the airport in one piece fortuneately! I got to the check-in desk before it opened, as a result I was one of the first to check-in when it did open so I requested an aisle-exit seat – seat 32H. I had a few hours wait in the airport, reading shogun and playing Gameboy before boarding. It was a nice new Boeing 777 and my exit seat was golden! I had the row of three chairs to my self but the arm rests weren’t the folding type so I couldn’t lay down, but still it was a fairly enjoyable flight, I watched Finding Nemo and Starsky and Hutch (movie) and they fed me nice food! A quick stop in Kular Lumpur International Airport, bought my mum a small birthday gift while I was there then back on the same plane to my golden exit seat only this time someone had joined me on the row – no big drama though. The flight to Vienna was OK I watched Starsky and Hutch a couple more times, finished Shogun (great book so get it read) I managed to sleep a few hours and they fed me more nice food! After landing I had a walk across the airport to my connecting flight to Amsterdam, lots of suits there waiting to go to work, how cool that must be – flying to work. The flight to Amsterdam was excellent. The plane was an Airbus A320, it had such comfy seats. I slept well and ate well on that flight! Arrived in Amsterdam, went to the KLM ticket desk – the queue for non-card holders was huge, walked up to the Platinum card holders desk, got my tickets and checked in at the same time, no waiting in filthy queues with the filthy non-card holders for me!!! I went and dropped my big suitcase off then caught the train into Amsterdam centre. What a lovely place Amsterdam is, the weather was nice too, walked around and took some pictures, had some chips with mayonaise on! I’m looking forward to going back there to experience Amsterdam properly. Back to the Airport on the train. Short hop over the North sea to Humberside, was fed again on the plane! My Dad had come to pick me up in his new car. It was so strange but so good to see him. We went and picked my mum up from work after driving through Hull, not much has changed so being home was sinking in. Saw my mum for the first time in 7 months, that was nice. Then went to see Norma. That night we had a BBQ, Davey G came round first. It was so good to see him, hes one of the reasons I’ve come home early. He seems taller and slimmer if that’s possible! Then Gordon came followed by Alan. Really good to see those two. Norma and Chris came round, and Gina and Dave. Davy G didn’t half pack away some grub lol. We went and had a look at Gordon and Alan’s new cars, then Chris came round and put them to shame with his new V8 Jaguar! What a car. Davey G, Alan and Gordon all set off for home at the same time, that was a mistake! They told me that they got chased by an off-duty copper, Gordon legged it, but Alan and Davey stopped and got a right bollocking! Anyway, I still havn’t decided if I like being at home yet. Its just not Sydney. (Comment on this)

9:59 am	So sad I'm sitting in my usual internet cafe, probably for the last time, wondering how long it will take before I start to loath home and miss Sydney. I know for sure I'll miss Cemil, hes become one of the best friends I've ever had. Not to worry though I'll see him in about two months in Turkey if all goes to plan. So my flight is leaving Sydney at 16:55 local time and its only 10am at the moment, what am I going to do to fill the time? I should go and buy some touirsty presents to take home, even though I'll be spending the old mans money (he just put a bunch in my account so I could pay for my flight!). I've spent the last few days with Cemil (even though his dads in town hes still spent more time with me than his old man, what a guy) all we've done is shopped for stuff for his apart, its good because I love shopping, especially for big TVs, Xbox's and DVD players ;) I spent not last night but night before with Cemil's house mate Tess (Cemil has had to go to work the last two nights :/ ) we went to the pub. Ordered a couple of drinks and went to play pool, paid for the pool table then some old guy in a suit comes out of no where and tells us he owns the table, its a challenge table and he just won the last game. Well I didn't bloody see him. So we argued and I told him he was full of shit and nearly flattened him. But we left it and used the other table, played doubles with a couple. We lost! Only by default though, Tess potted the black to win the game but the white went down as well god damnit. Tess was adamant that we had won, even though every one kept telling her that it was a loss, even me! She went off and asked a bunch of stangers through-out the pub and then came back and admitted defeat when everyone in the pub also told her that its a loss! Oh well! We didn't play again! Last night I left Cemil's place shortly after he went to work back to the city centre. I could have caught a bus from right outside the apartment but I had a return train ticket so I thought I might as well use it... Mistake number 1! The train station is a ten minute walk which would have been fine if it hadn't been freezing cold (may nt actually have been freezing, but it was bloody cold!) Once I got to the train station my feet were numb :/ Then, for another kick in the balls, the train was twenty minutes late, by God :/ Anyway I made it back to the Wake Up (hostel) went upstairs, packed my suitcase then played cards with the two sexy Danish girls that where staying in my room :D Not a bad way to spend saturday night in my opinion! Shame we didn't play strip poker though :/ haha So my next entry in this live journal will be from home I guess. How sad. Good-bye from Australia. (1 Comment |Comment on this)

1:41 am	pissed Its starting to do my head in that I can only go on the internet if I walk down the road to an internet cafe and use one of their shitty pootas and pay for the privelige :/ I've just been round to Cemil's place again, we spent the day shopping for things for his appartment. That kid has far too much money, he bought a TV and a DVD player today and an Xbox plus a couple other trinkets. We took all the stuff back to his appartment, boy that sucked, his telly is huge and we had to carry it a long way :/ and then we went for chinese food at a place literally 10 paces from his door! We had Peking duck, oh it was soooo good followed by S&S chicken, we are pigs. But then Cemil had to go to work. I sat and chilled with his flat mate, mark, played on the new Xbox - Halo and some shit rally game. Mark's bro came round with his friend, his friend was bloody good on the old guitar. Then Tess came home, Cemil's other flat mate. Mark and that pissed off so me and tess went to the pub. We tried to play a game of pool but just before I was about to break some old fella said it was a challenge table and he had just won (I never saw him) he was just a wanker. Tess and I got to play on the 2nd table with another couple. They beat us by default when Tess potted the black and the white at the same time :/ I had a few drinks! Then we left and went back to the appartment. She went to bed and I went back to the city, now I'm here. Talking to Andy on the old MSN messenger. (Comment on this)

7:30 pm	Bored Hi I'm sitting in an internet cafe in Sydney city centre bored and unhappy. I shouldn't be unhappy because I'm on holiday but the weathers cold-ish here and I've run outta money. I'm really looking forward to going home and seeing all my friends and family. I spent yesterday morning with a girl called Sophie who was staying in the same room as me in my hostel. She was nice, we seemed to get on really well. Shes going to York uni - starting in September so I told her we should meet up... Maybe I'll e-mail her soon! I went to my friend Cemil's new place that afternoon. His young (17) cousin Jo was there, in her school uniform! OMG sexy girl ;o) My friend from Canada (adam) left today, back home to Canada. I went out for dinner and a few beverages with him last night. We sat in a bar playing Uno nearly all night! It was a laugh, oh and I spent $7 all night, even though I had loads to eat and drink! ;) Also I met a lovely lass called Anna. Sexy little Aussie girl, maybe going to England soon, so I told her to come see me and she agreed! Whether she'll show up or not is a different story! Went to bed in my 8-bed dorm room, had a quick chat with Sophie as she was going to be leaving the next day (ie today). Probably woke everybody else up who was in that room. I woke up early today when my friends from Leeds woke me up to tell me they where leaving. They're such great girls, Laura, Gabrielle and Lisa - they'll be in New Zealand by now. I hope I'll see them when we're all back in England. I spent the morning hunting for a flight home. I booked one to go to Amsterdam with the flight centre hoping my dad can get me a flight with his points from amsterdam to Humberside. I couldn't even afford to pay for the flight! I drew most of the money for the flight out of the ATM but it wouldn't let me have the whole amount because I'd reached my daily limit! I have to go pay the rest tomorrow! I'm going to be so far into my overdraft its not funny :| After I got my flight sorted I went round to Cemil's place while he was at work because he needed somebody to be at the appartment because hes getting the phone line re-connected. I spent all afternoon there and Telstra didn't show up :/ Oh well I put together his flat pack wardrobe without him knowing, so he'll be pleasantly surprised when he gets home! Played on his laptop for a bit - Risk lol. Now I'm sitting here, in this internet cafe, Dave just came online, which has cheered me up. Hes dead excited about me coming home and I'm the same, I can't wait to see him. This entry is a bit like a tarentino film, starting at the begining then going to the end, then ending at the begining! Anyhoo off now. Oh btw my dad did get me a flight from amsterdam to Humberside with his air miles - Bonus. X (Comment on this)

4:23 pm	Hey Yo, Been on the road since saturday 17th April and we're (Adam, Nick, Maya and myself) loving every minute of it. We have been staying on campsites every night since we left Sydney, Adam and me sleep in the van while Nick and Maya sleep in their tent. Our first stop was Forster, for 2 nights, thats about a four hour drive north of Sydney. Then onto Port Macquarie for two nights, the campsite there was cool, very relaxing and the beach was very nice. We all got totally battered by the 6-8 ft walls of water also known as waves! After leaving there we went onto Crescent Head. That was a small place but nice, the campsite was right next to the ocean. We watched a show of lightning that night. We only stayed one night, then it was off to Nambucca Heads. We found a nice little campsite by the river and booked onto that for one night. Afterwards we went down to the beach, so far we've been to the beach every day! Next stop was Coffs Harbour which is we're I am right now. The campsite here is fantastic, it has everything except nice weather :/ The weather hasn't been as nice, it hasn't rained yet but it is forecast damnit. The van is still going well, the exhaust started blowing after the second day but no major worries. I've taken pictures and I'll put them on the net when I get chance. Peace out. (Comment on this)
