Went to Darwin last week, its like Witney!....the capital of the northern territory (where you could fit about 3 united kingdoms) the capital of this state is like Witney! haha.
Went and visited Fannie Bay when i was there, was very nice but not what i was expecting.
Got back last Friday night, played footy on Saturday and won for the first time in 3 games! Then went to Steph's birthday at their flat, she lives with my good friend Rodders. Lovely buffet supplied and a champagne punch which knocked me for 6 after id had 2 cups.
There was a 7 year old boy there (im guessing 7), his mother was a "earth mum" with the biggest breasts i have seen (in the flesh), her partner was wearing some trousers that are identical to my pyjamas (cream with thin brown strips)...i would say my Pyjamas looked better than his trousers. He also had a wallet velcro'ed around his wrist (like the sort of thing you had when you were 11 on holiday).
Well they had to leave abruptly as the little snot, once he'd finished jumping on Rodney's router and throwing stuff around the front room, NEEDED FEEDING!!
Yes that's right Mrs "we live in a commune" Big Boobs needed to take the brat off for his milk, he was also never told off. He was parented on the points system! 5 points if you stay out of the bedroom, 5 points if you can control your urge to pull mummy's boobs out, 50 points says that he'll grow up to be a very weird human being! (probably with very strong bones but what they hey).
Still have not got my visa going through yet, but the boss said it would be sorted today then i'll be straight on a bridging visa (phew!). If not then i'll see all you guys back in the UK around August. If not i'll be back in the new year as the Mrs can't get holiday til then and need to save up to come back to Blighty (what is it 5quid a pint now & 3pound a litre of petrol?).

Fiji - Food & Drink
G'day, Bonjour, watch'ya (apparently i am the only person to use watch'ya in text's).
I don't think i have mentioned on here, but i am playing for the Mighty Manly Vale FC over in Australia now and we are currently sitting 2nd i believe: won 5 lost 1 drawn 1. So Saturdays are something to look forward to again, also this cuts down the amount of time that could be spent drinking to my bodies relief.
Recently iv seem to be eating a LOT! a side order of buffalo wings with my steak, a pancake to finish of breakfast, some scones to have after my lunch. THREE plates of food simultaneously at the breakfast buffet. This will have to stop....and no i have not ballooned, still the same 88KG i normally am, but it can not be good.
Last Sunday we had our works conference, we went to Fiji's main island Nadi. we stayed until the Thursday morning. The days consisted of meetings from 9am til 1pm everyday then we would have lunch and arrange tennis or a golf game for the afternoon...yes HARD LIFE! i hear you all cry, and when i returned i would talked down what a good time i had out there as people would then say "did you get much done" with a sh!t eating grin on their face.
YES ACTUALLY WE GOT LOTS DONE! I do apologise that i was taken to Fiji, but it was very productive & enjoyable.
I did take my board but did not get chance to surf unfortunately, me & Phil had settled on a 5am wake up and get a surf in before the next days meetings. However when i rang to book the wakeup call and thought id check what the actual time was i was told it was 4.20am so i rebooked the wakeup call for 8am.
I may be heading to ribs and rumps tonight to spend the $100 gift voucher i received from them. This was due to what i described in my complaint as the "surly" waitress. Who seemed completely offended we were in her section. Asking for the starters to come out with the mains was a alien concept for her, let alone asking for another bottle of table water, to which she replied "fine!" almost with a tut on the end. All i can say is the management know how to deal with a problem there.
There are quite a few pics on my facebook, i especially like the one of the breakfast menu at Nadi airport:
"Bacon & Chiz omelets & Scrumbled eggs with parcley"
