We have just had the most boring Irish chap in the room with his Spanish girlfriend. After starting the 100th story about his travels and tales i felt the need to interupt.
He said: "There's an Irish man walking along Bondi Beach, and gets struck by lightening...... "
I interupt with: "...is the start of a joke mate?"
Needless to say he wasnt very impressed, but carried on with his story - apparently the chap lived....!
Enjoying the weather. Hope everythings ok back home!
Love Jamie x

G'day ya flamin galors!
God sooo much to tell already you don't know where to start!.. Hong Kong was crazy.. loads of funny stories!! "you like dis room hahaha".. will explain later.
Sydney is awsome. Never seen such a cool city, so much to see and do. We moved today out of the city to Manley, over the bridge 20 mins from Sydney, mainly to be nearer the beach. Wake Up hostel was great.. met tons of cool people, people in our dorm change daily so met tons (and I think the reception guys downstairs like us, cause it was always full of women!!). Side Bar downstairs was probably the best club in Sydney, packed every night. Gotta take ur passport everywhere though to be sure of gettin in, i've been asked for ID 3 times! Was sat outside Sydney opera house on the harbour on Ozzy having a beer, felt surreal!
Weather has been mostly awsome. Cloudy 1st few days but since been around 32 degs (I know you hate me!).. all burnt to a crisp. Jamie is like a white and red zebra, every inch not covered by suncream is red raw!!Bondi is something else.. the waves are massive too!.. I got swept into the dangerous current area and had to be dragged back by a life guard on a jet ski, when I crashed onto the shore and opened my eyes I found a camera and a mike in my face!, some Ozzy TV station filming the life guards for a documentary.. i'm gonna be on TV! (probably under the 'how to act uncool in front of the girls' part of the show!
Err.. what else.. expensive.. all going through money to quick me thinks but suppose you have that '2 week costa del spain' feeling when you feel the sun!- need to calm it.
Think passport control has a law too that prevents ugly women from entering the country!! :-D
Found a really good value bar last night - jug of Tooheys for $6! (2 pound 50 - this daft keyboard doesn't have a pound symbol, bloody foreigners!!).. so I was smashed last night after a few jugs!.. really loving the trip - didn't think i'd like the hostel sharing lifestyle but it's awsome!
Not too many Greenhalgh's yet - apart from nearly not leaving Hong Kong - left my passport on a Burger King table and someone brought it to me! Got a mobile number now - but not brought my phone from room, Ste's got the number.
Seddo: yeah i've been trying to body surf but not moved to the boards yet - gonna hire one tomorrow!
Ste: have a laugh to myself everytime i'm in the sea "Don't swim with sharks!" - it's all I can think of!!
JD: yeah know about the gearbox - typical eh, but mums gonna sort it out (as always!).. will send you some pics of the 1.2million gorgeous ladies soon!
Harold Bishop:That you Tess??.. rememered you had that on ur MSN!.. will ring you at some point.
Stirrup: hows the job hunting going?.. you got anywhere else showing interest? Went to a doc who refered my to a Reumatoid specialist but will cost dollar bills.. still in a pain though.. what you think?
Family: sorry I didn't ring when i said i would.. just hard to time it right with the massive time difference!.. hope Lydnseys over the glangerlar fever. Hope the drum skills are coming along dad!.. told you you gotta be like Keith Moon by the time I get back!.. hope you aren't worrying too much about me mum.. don't worry doing quite well looking after myself.. did my FIRST EVER wash load the other day.. felt kind of liberating!! ;-) (see photo's!).. miss you all loads.
Everyone else: HOOOOOW DOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Check the pictures folks (gonna try and download them to website now).. check out the 'zoolander' album.. not got many yet but gonna get as many as we can!!!!
Anyways.. i'm gonna go catch some late afternoon rays and get a few Tooheys - hope the weather is freezing at home and work is a b****! ;-)
Will be on again soon.. take care
Paul.
