(it doesnt happen every weekend.. trust me).. try to watch the fireworks, but realise the building thats in the way wont move.. decide that we wont either.. miss fireworks...go to the pub... get drunker. but. (and this is a good thing) discover that 1942 arcade game is free !!!! at the rumpurs room.. decide that vodka and red bull with a shot of tequila would be a laugh...

Sunday.. woke up. (omg.. god must hate me... either that, or my views on cliff richard have condemnded me to an eternity in hell).....oh its just an hang over...decide kill or cure.. lunch at the storey bridge hotel.. (rest bit of a blur)


Monday... woke up (bit of a hangover.. from the sunday "lunch").went to wokrk.. came home.. watched the most crap tv of all time.. went to bed early.. (couldnt shake that hang over)

Wednesday.. woke up.. went to work.. went to the gym.. went back to work.... came home..had dinner.. watched shit tv again.. went to bed...

Thursday.. woke up.. went to work.. went to the gym.. went back to work.. went to the pub.. went to watch the Qld Roar lose again.. got drunk.. explained to the whole of brisbane why we should sign a decent striker.. went home in a cab.. went home.. ignored the shit tv.

Friday woke up..(bit of a hang over.. ) went to work.. went to the gym.. went back to work.. went to the pub.. went back to work as problems with the new network upgrade.. went back to the pub... came home and signed onto msn and spoke to some mates back in dear ole blighty.. ignored the crap thats on tv..

Did this one die? Ah, what the hell, I'll add another:
- Buy some booze and catch England's 20/20 demolition of the colonials around 11 tonight. Then get to sleep quick before the rugby starts ...
