England 4 - Germany 1 ; the world cup this summer- BRING IT ON . The reality ; Rooney poorly, Owen a little under the weather and Sven is thinking about his next contract - I live in hope that the English do not snatch defeat from the jaws of VICTORY.
Weather update in Manchester ; rain , cloudy . The in laws have been living with me now for 3 months- they leave in August 2006 . My advice - dont under any circumstances WHATSOEVER , invite your in laws to live with you for more than 2 weeks .

Orite Jaime, Just left Fiji and arrived in Auckland - weather report; lots of rain and bloody cold. Whats happened to Peter Burns? Last i heard he was on a plane out to Melbourne with his sunglasses and shorts packed/ You'll be glad to know we are closing enough for phone converstions now. Louisa starts work tommorow but i can't be arsed getting a job! Bring on the snow! Got some big air on the rope swing in Suva and filmed it! I'll try and get the pictures to you. Nice to see you have upgraded your park bench for a flat....

Nice to see I'm still remembered back home! H!.. it's been far too long buddy.. sorry i've not been in touch.. will correct that soon. Got far too many stories to report on.. so i'll just bore you with them all on my return!.. glad to hear you're sorted in the city.. FREE PLACE TO CRASH!! WOO HUU! Tess.. hey babe!.. good to hear from you.. sorry to hear you won't make it over, but kinda thought it would have been hard this year.. best of look with the exams. Update: got a flat!.. on Little Collins Street in the city.. 3 bed, fully furnished.. really nice gaff. On the expensive side but just couldn't live in a hostel any longer!.. gonna be living with two great gals i've met along the way.. thats the cooking and the cleaning taken care of, be just like being at home!! (joke). Move in Monday.. will get some pics on of it. Calamaty update.. no phone. Dropped it in a toilet sink last night whilst off my face. A mate suggested to take, and I quote, 'cenrefrugal action'. So i went to my room, tied it up in a T-shirt and swung it round my head as fast as.. bearing in mind I could hardly stand up and was singing 'Black Betty' at the time, it was to be expected when it hit the wall at the speed of sound.. game over.. no phone.. all conatcts lost from trip so far.. all messages.. devastated. Sorry Sven.. but you knew it was gonna happen :-( No camera, no phone, broken mp3 player. More news.. gonna be staring in my own show!.. Liana and co from 6 Links bar in the city have suggested I do an acoustic set every week for them.. better start practising songs. What else.. oh quite funny.. been to see a few comedy shows during the int comedy festival in Melbourne.. on the last night of festival.. most of the comediens i'd seen came into Y&J's for a few beers.. me being a comedien myself.. bored them with about 10 jokesm for an hour.. 'so i've started selling bibles'.. it was like selling milk to a milkman. On a more serious note.. Gran in hospital at the mo and dad having long awaited op tomorrow.. thinking about you both.. you know i'll be there with you as always tomorrow dad.. half of Melbourne is thinking of you too!! Gotta go.. off to China town trying to resurrect phone!.. speak soon.. P.

Nice one Benny!!! Ring on the finger eh! B - e - a - utiful. ------
Went on the Tram Resturant the other day; pretty cool as a one off. Although, it turns out skippy took a turn for the worst as i had the Kangaroo Steak! Top ride, free champagne, tried hard to empty my glass but the waiter was pretty hot on topping it up. Had some port and some cracking cheese gromit!!!! The waiter stays in the same apartment here, gonna play him at tennis.
----- Weather update: Some rain, 18oC, winds from the south east.------
---- Pete Burns, where the bloody hell are ya? ------

Paul. Long time no speaks mate. Hope you're alreet, stayin out of trouble, laying off the pies etc.
Rough news about the camera.... not like you at all eh mate?
Anyway, been keepin up to date with the site, good to see all going well (even better to note the temperature!!), never really imagined your lanky arse behind a bar though - produces all kinds of calamitous scenarios in my mind!! (Broken Glasses, Broken Kegs, Broken Fonts..... Lost Glasses...... Lost Kegs..... you get the idea!!) In your absence, I am on the lookout for a new s***talkingbeermonsteribetshepacksapunchhowdoyoulikeyourfishfingersbarmaidbetyoufiftyquidicanmakeyourboobsmovewithouittouchingthemi'mnotevenmoistyetandicandrinkallofyouunderthetablewithbothhandstiestomyarseandapieinmymouth type drinking partner but its not proving easy!! Many have tried and failed!!..... In an amazing turn of events I have moved to within vomiting distance of Deansgate Locks and the infamous DAVE shooter! I have also crashed my car (well... some pillock crashed into me!!) will keep checking the site for your latest instalment of birds booze and bile! Giz a bell if u get chance buddy-if only to top up the northern accent!..... Best of luck, H
Tess
Oh yeah.... Karl Kennedy is going to be at my summer ball. Woop Woop.....i might ask him if i can shack up with him when he returns to neighbours and then you can come and visit me at ramsay street. OOOO Mrs Kennedy....I think it sounds cool. Might have to beat susan up first, and Izzy and all those other young women that he has had a bit of. Anyway what am i going on about...better get back to the law of Evidence. Can you bring me back a possum? thanks xxx
Tess...in A Bit Of A Stress
Gday ya blunt market vegetable!!!!! How are things down under??? Last time I spoke to you, you were off your face, couldnt find your hostel and had to get up in 2 hours for your flight. I have just been reading your posts and it looks like you made it ok!!! Only you would get drunk and get lost two hours before your flight.
It looks like Oz wont be happening for me this year. Have no money and there is a of bit University strike at the moment so have only recently had confirmation that are exams were going ahead. I am so stressed.........I have had two exams and i b*****ed them up and I still have another 3 to b***** up in the next few weeks. I am determined to get a 2.1 - im not going to let a punk like you beat me xxxxxx
Anyway babes it sounds like your having a fantastic time. I wish I was there with you. Look after yourself and try to stay out of trouble. Miss chatting to you xxxxxxxxxxxx take care babes, love Tess xxx

Paul
G'day folks!.. sorry for the lazyitus kicking on on the website, but due to having no camera to capture recent blurry evenings I've had no need to be on!.. plus i'm working 1,300 hours a week so not had much time! Weather update.. f**king freezing!!!... about 16 degs today, fresh as daises. I'm gonna burn all my shorts and sleevless tops (sorry mum).. hate looking at them next to my suncream and having to wear a jacket!! :-( Work going very well.. i'm now a fully pledged barman!!.. you want a guiness with a perfect head?.. a bloody mary with just the right tabasco sauce?.. you got it!! Nah it's going well. Working 38 hrs most weeks, although i've asked for less cause I want an extra day to go out and experience Melbourne (ok.. get lashed more often). Take a look at Young & Jacksons website.. www.youngandjacksons.com.au. It's apparently the most prestigeous bar in Melbourne.. 1st Melbourne building etc - big part of the city. We had 'Anzac Day' last week.. a Victoria public holiday which remembers the war vetrans etc. Y&J's plays a massive part in that day - it takes the most money of any bar in the whole of Australia!.. had to move every piece of furniture and glassware to the loft (no small task considering there's 4 bars and a resturant.. Worked 4pm till 4am 2 days on the trot getting it all done.. hard work but it pays well :-). Still looking for a gaff.. been to view a few but not to my liking for one reason or another.. got some cool future housemates to share costs though when we do find a place! That's about all really.. will get some pics on soon as i've borrowed a mates camera and took a few on nights out.. and the F1 pics might get on this year when J gets 'em on a disk! ;-).. Oh yeah, Rooney.. what a choker?! - just our luck.. remember 6 weeks before 02 WC.. Beckham.. What is it with the flaming metartarsal?!?! anyways.. will update soon.. P.S.. WHY THE HELL DOES EVERY OZZY THINK I'M EITHER IRISH OR SOCTISH?? i'M, BLOODY ENGLISH! Hope you're all good.. laters.

"...saw Schumacher, Montoya and Button all crash out in front of me..." You will end up getting banned Paul - with your calamitous ways spreading to those around you. Maybe you should go to Anfield more often and have the same thing happen there. Good photos up to now, shame about the camera.
