Well i only have one shift left in my current position before i begin my new role in internet servicing despite the fact that i am actually quite technically retarded as Gav and Doug recently discovered when i had serious difficulty unplugging and plugging a cord in the back of Gav’s 360 not once but twice that and i doubt that many customers will call up asking the address of some decent porno sites. Seriously though I’m slowly moving my way up corporate ladder one shitty role at a time, at least this job is 10 minutes from my house and i get a nice little pay rise cha ching, and another great benefit is my parents cannot be prouder and you know what that means, when my parents are happy i am very happy, so heres to me let’s hope i don’t fuck it up!

Hi people,
Just a quick hello from India. Well it is 3:00pm and I just got back from work which is a 1 hour drive from the hotel and this is traffic is not too bad. The roads can be really good for like 1 K and then for the next 10 they are filled with pot holes and boulders that just sit in the middle of the road. Went for a fun ride in a cab yesterday he was one crazy driver he would be on his horn the entire time and several times we went down the wrong site of the road to overtake and just get back on the correct side and miss a bus by inches. The Autorickshaw is fun but if it is dusty this can be bad and if wet not so good. Was raining all weekend so could not see much hopefully next weekend.
Beer is very very cheap I got a 6 pack of 650ML kingfisher for $6.50. On Friday night we went to a hotel called the royal palms you can get cheap beer about $1.50 per bottle and they make a heep of cocktails for like $3 now this is my kind of place. We got a taxi had a heep of beer and went home all for about $22 sweet as. Can not drink at our hotel as cost way to much they charge like Aus pricing so you just grab a 6 pack and hit the pool and then get room service to come out and open your beer.
The food is great and again very cheap. Not as hot as I was thinking it was going to be. At work it is great you go to the lunch room at 12 and get a full kick ass lunch I could really get used to this. We went to a shopping mall and you would not guess what they had? Nando’s hell yeh.
Well that is it from me will check in again latter in the week. I am up for snakes in a plane that is going to rock hard. I was a bit worried on the flight over to India about snakes on my plane.
Rock on!

It’s official! One of the greatest cinematic experiences of our time Snakes On A Plane will be hitting Australian cinemas on the 24th of August 2006.
One critic said that this movie is “A puzzling journey through the minds of two retarded 12 year old boys.”
I’m not sure if there is a midnight session as yet but either way I am seeing this movie!
This is a pretty sweet video of some dudes who break into a water park and go to town.
There’s some pretty good skating in there, and they should open the water parks to skaters during winter or whenever they are closed.
After 3 glorious years of service including a few speeding tickets, a few bingles, numerous rock outs ,more drive through takeaway visits then a starving bum could dream about and all the good times you could wish for, my trusty Kennedy is being put out to pasture or “the wrecking yards.” The time has come to face the facts, he is getting on a bit in years and he is starting to fall apart like a leper on a jumping castle. He rattles and groans and has bits falling off and hanging out, not to mention his slightly abused exterior. Fear not though there is a replacement coming, whose name is tba,so you guys won’t be without your driver, and the good news is i can strip Kennedy for all the parts i want to keep, as long as it is safe for the guy collecting him to drive him away. So peace out my t(rusty) iron steed, you have served me well, i wish i could give you the blaze of glory that you deserve but frankly i need the money.
Hey guys please feel free to add your own memories or just dumb, irresponsible stuff you remeber doing in my car.

Well I’ve been pretty damn flat out over the last few weeks. This is mainly due to work and moving house which Hels and I have settled in pretty well. The only thing missing is a name. In case you don’t know I’ve pretty much always had a name for the places I’ve lived in. So far I’ve lived in the following…
- Tarmaroo
- The Humpie
- The Castle
- The Lodge
So please any suggestions for the new place leave a comment.
