Paolo Nutini & James Morisson





Paolo Nutini and James Morisson are my two favourite albums at the moment. They are so mellow and nice. I can just listen to them over and over again. Paolo is featured in the photo's here. he's the cuter of the two, so that's why I have photo's of him. hehehe

Shipping

We have started to pack our boxes to send home. We've dived head first into the crap that's under the stairs. It's gonna take forver. We've chucked a shitload away and now just have to sort out. It was like christmas again, cause we found all this stuff we haven't seen for ages. We instantly put it back in a box to forget about so that when we open the boxes again in Aus, we can have the same experience (and it'll be Christmas aswell, so more pressies for us).

We have kinda given up now until tomorrow morning. We have to write down everything that's in all the boxes, so Ian's gotta ring the company to find out what we need to put down.

The Other Day In London

All these phot's have been taken by Alicia herself. Our camera died in it's arse, so I can't supply any.We planned the trip into London for Booski's benefit because she hasn't seen any of the sights in London. So we organised to do the typical sight seeing with the London Eye, Picadilly Circus, Leister Square, Covent Garden, Buckingham Place, Art Galleries, Tower Bridge, Pubs, Soho ect. And we did the lot. Took all day, but was worth it. Was absolutely exhausted afterwards.


.Covent Garden had these people posing as statues. the guy above was the best.
We got to see Buckingham Palace, and the Queen was home aswell (but didn't get to see her). Its a bloody long way to walk. It miles away from everything else. Damn the Queen for living that far from the London Centre




Tate Modern was my only thing I wanted to do while we were in London, so I dragged them both along to have a look. As always, Ian was taking the piss (I've only taken him here twice for this reason) and Booski wasn't too interested I don't think. But atleast I got to go.


We couldn't believe that we posed the same for so many pot's. Here are best to show what I mean. We need to spend time apart. It's like we are one person. hehehehe
Before we met Sarah for some drinks, we walked to Tower Bridge. Our feet were killing us by this time. We walked through most of Central London, and all we wanted was a drink, but had to go here, it was the last stop.

Before we went to see Avenue Q, we met up with Sarah and her Girlfriend (and Richard also made an appearence) to G.A.Y. Bar for a drink (which then continued onto four pints). It was the first time Booski had ever set foot into a Gay venue, so it was an experience for her....bless her cottons.
This was the end of a long day. We were all starving and tired. It was only a bucket of KFC and a drink away before we go to get to our beds........ahhhhhhhhhhh.

Celebrity Shocker #4

There were always rumours that Ernie and Bert were together, but now we have the evidence. Those dirty puppets. Watching Sesame Street will be a different experience now.

Funny Comic

Robert

Robert has arrive. Adam dropped him off (apparently work is getting busy, so Ad's didn't stay long) and I showed Robert around the house. He has now just gone for a wander around Chobham. He seems nice enough. He didn't really say much, but was expected considering it can be quite intimidating to come to a new country.

The New Guy

The new guy is arriving today. His name is Robert and is from South Africa.

Ian is off with Matt to move house. I'm at home alone waiting for baoxes to arrive from our shipping company. We have so much shit that needs to be sent home. So I have to get that sorted.......fun shit.

SHE'S GONE

Booski's gone. She left this morning (and would be up in the air now, if all went well). She off for another adventure, while I'm still stuck her. Not long to go before we jet off over to see her. We can't wait. Hopefully in October or November, Booski can show us the ropes of Dublin. Wikkid.

Booski's Last Night

Tonight is Booski's last night. Its really sad, but we are having our last night of drinking. Its really nice. We are plannign on going to Ireland to visit her, so that would be cool...........

We have just ordered pizza............can't wait...........mmmmmmmmmmmmm

Thought Of The Day


Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to see things on the ground?

After Work

Am online now..... just finished a hectic day at work.....lunch was awful. So many customers and all the staff were not fit to work. Mikey was sick, Antonia was sore from swimming the day before and I was tired.

Tonight, one guy didn't show up for work and another lady came 1 hour and a half late....we were outta control...........I don't want to repeat that ever again.........

I'm glad I have a day off tomorrow.......it's gonna be awesome........spend the last time off with Booski..... before our drinking session on Sunday. I have to work al day after Sunday....but who gives a shit............

Woking Leisure Centre

Today after squash, Tamara, Adam, Ian and me went to the Leisure Lagoon in Wking. It was awesome. The slides were really good. We also just sat in the pool for about an hour just chatting. It was nice and relaxing. Now I have to spoil it ll by going to work.......wahoo.

London


It was awesome today. My feet were killing me from all the walking around wedid sight-seeing. But by the time we got our pint/sin all the pain disappeared.

We got to meet up with Sarah (and her girlfriend) and Richard at GAY Bar which was nice, before we went to see AVENUE Q. The musical was awesome. I WANNA GO AGAIN. It was Booski's first time to the theatre, and as far as I know, she loved it. It was so funny.

We are all knackered now. It's been 15 hours now since we first left to go to London. And now we are just listening to the CD before we go to bed. It's so good.

Drunk Again




Last Night, Booski and I got hammered. I am working all day today (on my split now) but don't feel to bad. We were drinking until the sun came up.
This morning, I kept burping up this horribly, sweet tasting shit. It was really gross, then I realised we were drinking Red Wine with Coke (absolutely revolting). Never again will I drink Red Wine and Coke together. They are a cobination that doesn't go well together.

Tuesday

Booski, Ian and myself have planned to go to London on Tuesday. Can't wait. We realised that we all have the day off and we thought why not? Booski hasn't gone sight-seeing in London before so that was a good reason to go.

I can't wait.

Booski has only a wee before she goes to Ireland.......... so it's gonna be sad......

Londo's gonna be awesome....we are going to go sight-seeing, then go for dinner and then the theatre (Booski has never seen anything at the theatre, so it's gonna be an experience for her).

Roll on Tuesday.

The 4400 is my favourite TV Show at the moment.

We are onto the 3rd season (getting it from America) and it's just so intriguing that we can't stop watching it. We have gone throught the 2 Season DVD Boxsets and now are getting them weekly from the internet to keep up to date. It's going to be annoying tho only being able to watch one at a time. It is an awesome show. Watch it if you get the cance.

Duncan James - Can't Stop A River


The new single of Duncan James, "Can't Stop A River" is an awesome song. Considering his album is pretty midiocre, this lovely ballad is a surprise. The viseo clip is pretty good aswell.

Nikki - What a FUCKING mess

She had the nerve to take the piss out of Aisleyne's Outfit the time she got tranferred into the House Next-Door, and then she comes out looking like a barbie doll that was put into a microwave for a few minutes. Vile specimen she is.

England Big Brother Final


This years Big Brother had no surprises in the Final countdown. I'm kinda glad it all over now because it was driving me mad (mainly because Nikki went back in the house). Here are the results:WINNER: Pete has been the favourite to win from the start, and I'm glad he won (it had to be him or Aisleyne). 61% of England voted for Pete to win.
2ND: Glyn. Thankfully he didn't win. Altho he did go in a teenage boy and left a young man.
3RD: Gutted. Aisleyne should of won, but she still came a respectable 3rd place with 22% of votes to win.
4TH: Dickie (Richard) was the highest ranked Gay in the house getting 9.2% of votes.
5TH: Nikki went back into the house due to a controversial Big Brother moment. Was gutted she didn't get kicked out first, but glad she never won. Her reaction was rubbish and her interview with only one word answers was crap. She is just an attention seeking 26 year old baby. Nikki got 6.5% of votes to win.
6TH: Jennie was the first evicted with only 1% of people wanting her to win. Not surprising really......she was a good character in the house but had no chance of winning.

Squash

We went to play squash today (for the first time for ages) and Ian was really tired because of the amount of shifts he's been doing, and the rest of us were just hungover.......it was really funny......we all couldn't be bothered playing properly.

I had another drinking session with Booski while looking at MySpace Music....where I found a school friend and he's released an album, it was very surreal. I was also speaking to Kate who I haven't spoken to for awhile...which was really nice....she finally has put up some entries in her blog (for the first time in ages). Love you babes.

Now I have to get ready for work. I absolutely full up because we went to Blubeckers for lunch and I ate too much.....All I wanna do is sleep for ages. Atleast we both get a sleep in tomorrow morning, which I can't wait for.

Classic Photo's

Back to Work

Unfortunately, we didn't have our fingers crossed hard enough because we were back to work on Monday night. Bummer.

Flooding Of Chobham

This is the final outcome of the rain on Sunday. I haven't been able to put updates up earlier because of the flood affecting our phone lines and losing our internet connection. It was awesome. I've never been a part of a flood before. We got a phonecall from Astrid saying that water is up to her steps, we thought she was lying and went for a walk to see for ourselves. I'm glad we went for a walk.This was just around the corner from our house, it wasn't too bad here cars were still able to get up close to the water but got stop just alittle further up the road.
This is where it started to get deep. Traffic were screwed because they couldn't go through Chobham, so they had to get a longer way home.

Cars were stranded in the flood because it came up quite suddenly and the owners were not expecting this.


This is at Astrid's house....she wasn't lying. It was fun "wading" through the water to get to her house...... the water was fucking freezing but got there in the end.


The current of the water was quite strong at places considering it was only knee deep.

So it was an eventful evening. Glad I got to experience this. We were always told how Chobham can flood, but never got the chance to see it until now...........
