St Patrick's Day

Why does a leprachaun wear 2 condoms? To be sure, to be sure.

The Irish have a reputation for being brainless folk with a drinking problem. On St Patricks day, all of Sydney seem to think they're Irish as their Gran's dog walker's postman was a quarter Irish, so they OK. Cue the claims they've been drinking Guiness since they were 12 and that their dad used to play rugby for Ireland.

The fact is that the Irish are some of the worst drinkers around, despite their stories of being sick in every bar in Sydney. The real truth is that every Irish person wishes they were Scottish - they were trying to claim 500 miles by The Proclaimers as their own song!

Anyhow, a few of us from work set off to the Rocks in Syndey - an area next to the harbour that the 1st europeans landed. 4 pints of Guiness were exchanged for 32 bucks at about 4pm....



This could be a costly night. Not simply from my pocket's point of view but also the toilet's.

We get stuck into the black stuff as Millar turns up and before we know it, are surrounded by 10 american burds who blurt out 'OH MY GOD' every 3rd sentence. Always funny to rip the piss out of when they can't understand you...



Last weekend a few of us from work went to go and see the famous Cantebury Bulldogs take on the Paramatta Eels at rugby league. For those of you who don't know much about the Bulldogs, 6 of them have been charged with rape offences against the same girl, so you could imagine the reception they got when they ran onto the field for the 1st game of the season. Didn't seem to bother them as they (ahem) raped the Eels, as we duly took the piss out of our supervisor, a big Eels fan. Afterwards we ended up in Kings Cross again, where Mike Dizel and I pizzeld for the cizel...



Phil managed to pull some burd so quick it was unbelievable. Some burd next to him dropped her change, big Dave Booth picked it up for her, Phil said something like 'hello' and she was stuck to his face immediately. Outstanding. Cue the crazy dancing, sexual harrasment, outrageous bar tab and crap games of pool. The harrasment was to me, not by me, I may point out. I think Ross got off with a rotter, can't really remember, either that or she was a psycho - love the Empire! Millar ended up in the DJ Box asking for Shakira - for the love of god Millar NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The Shack must stay in Glasgow!

It's now Thursday. I get paid tomorrow, which is a huge relief because I'm completely and utterly skinto. I made 800 bucks 2 weeks ago, that went quicker than you could say 'payday'.

Found a webcam in the office, got it hooked up to a PC and set it up to take a shot every minute of the office so you can see us all hard at work.

So anyway, we're here in Sydney for the next 3 weeks ish before heading up the coast for a month, spening all the money we ever earnt. HARSH! We're also looking to head out to Christchurch in New Zealand mid May for 3 weeks and then on....
