Tatts Tavern

Hey guys.. sorry..i have been very lazy latley, and drinking way to much booze.. i dont remember the last night were i havent had a drink..:S but, i am young, and the fun times will keep on rolling! i thought i better finally write something, so here it is. here is some photos of tattersalls tavern where i am currently residing/doing a little work.. only like 45 hours a week.. always fun! courtesy of steve, as i cant be bothered getting out in the cold and taking photos..

so, apart from drinking, sleeping working and drinking, i havent been doing much else!

steve leaves in 2 days, and i move into the other aussie guy's room on friday and then come the new aussies.. pretty busy week!

Brighton

We went for a little cruise to Brighton the other day. Brighton is about an hour south of London, in a slightly easterly direction. It is located on the beach, and the beach it was.. Now, dont get any preconceived ideas about white sand, sun and beach volleyball, because if you were thinking of this, you would be sadly disappointed. Brighton, was however, fantastic. A little town, a little like torquay, except a little more tourist driven.

It's England's place for little weekend getaways that started with King George V (or someone of his nature) taking his misstresses down for a little weekend adventure, and has never really lost that reputation.

At Brighton, on the main pier, similarly shaped like Cunningham Pier (fancy that! they are both piers..) but a little wider. This allowed a genius to put a big showground type arrangement on it, with rides, fairy floss and some awesome arcade setup.. with motion simulators, and driving games and such forth.. you all know what an arcade is.. but, alas, we did spend a fair wad of cash having been the only computer games we have seen in months.

Apart from that, we saw a few Aussie shops, ripcurl and mambo, and we actually saw a lego shop.. fully dedicated to lego! i was impressed. the photos are following, so i hope you have a good time trying to think of a story to accompany them.. a story that i wont tell you! just to make you think...

oh yeah.. and me and steve accidently walked aimlessly through a cemetery.. we thought the path lead somewhere.. but, to our dismay, it went in one entrance, around the cemetry and back out.. our bad..

New Years Eve 2006

hey guys! sorry about the delay in the posts.. i know how keen you all are to see my extra-ordinary writing ability.. enough of that!

new years eve was very quiet for me, as i had the joys involved with having a chest infection. and flu at the same time. i was actually scheduled to work untill 12 midnight on NYE, but piked early as i was sick/we were quiet (there was 4 people in the pub) so i celebrated the new year by sitting in bed eating a bacon sandwich. beleive it or not, but i was actually quite satisfied with my own company and the companionship of a bacon sarni. untill i ate it.. now that a whole new story!

boring yes, but i did work at 10 the next day which i was enthralled at, and i celebrated with the people on the street blowing trumpets, hooters and what ever they can get a hold of to blow. thanks london for givin me a total of 5 hours sleep.. cheers! (bastards..)

well, i thank the people who actually take time out to write on my blog.. and for the rest of you stop reading now and leave! or keep reading, and leave a post.. or keep reading and dont leave a post.. your choice..

i hope all had a good new years, and had one or 5 drinks for me.

regards,
"the one they call michael.."
