G2007

Weekend not as planned…

Amy and myself went down to Manly to meet Nancy and Marcus for some beach fun. The waves weren’t really coming in. In fact, they were so small it was almost not worth even going out. However we decided it would be a good day for mal riding with

Sunshine?

A few days of hanging out in Sydney and I was up to Brisbane to see Amy and meet her family who were all very nice and very welcoming. It was my first time staying at an Australian families house, even in all the time I was staying here last

No Updates?

I’ve written a nice long entry to put on the website, with lots and lots of pictures and stuff like that. However, due to no one in the internet cafe actually understanding how a computer and the internet work, I have not been able to log in with my

So the surf is not as great as it could be, we’ve been having 2ft-3ft waves that only surface about 10 metres from the beach which barrel close out in 1ft of water. So the amount of surfing going down has been low, as it is still a confidence

Meets, Greets and Sections

After driving over to Charmaine’s house to get my old surf board and talk computers for a bit Faisel and myself headed over to Manly to meet Marcus and go for a little surf. It was a really nice day, the sun was shining and the waves were pretty

Back in town and in the ‘bra

I am staying at Matt’s house, which is very nice of him. He was flying so his parents were nice enough to pick me up from the airport and drive me to his house. I arrived in the Maroubra and went straight over to Bondi to meet Fizzer who

The Sling

We arrived after what felt like a very short flight (got on plane, had something to eat, watched mighty boosh episode, went on the internet, went to sleep, woke up, had breakfast, went on the internet, landed) and IT WAS HOT!!!! Yes! We got out of the airport with no

G30,000.com

I never thought I’d be writing a blog entry at 30,839ft but here we are! Sky High Internet Singapore airlines are definitely my favourite airline in the world. Not only have we already watched an episode of Mighty Boosh on the on-demand in flight entertainment, but we can

I’m off

A clue about who I am going with… Larger Version Next update Singapore!!!!!!

Around the world in 13 beers

So the trip to the other side of the world starts in five days! I really can’t wait, it is so exciting to be going back to Australia. I will also get to see a little bit of Singapore on the way! Great! So this weekend Kim, Gin and

Uninstall Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 from the Command Line

It was early in the morning and Dave looked concerned. Firefox was one of the few programs he could get to work on his system because the beta of IE7 he had installed had not gone well. It was not working at all and because IE is integrated in nearly

Poor Whale

This weekend was Matt‘s birthday, someone I have worked with for quite a few years now and have enjoyed many a time with. One of our achievements was inventing The Sandwich Game way back in ’03 , which although seems a bit silly, saved us a pretty penny on lunch

10 Years of HTML

Circa ’96 Sorry no pictures of anything because the hardrive in my computer stopped working! I think the head is scratched so there’s no way to retrieve any of the data. I lost some photos that I took over Christmas, but everything else is backed up! Phew!! I have

Post Christmas Post

Happy New Year! Thanks for all the emails, Matt D. your one was especially good, very detailed!! It feels like this is the first time I’ve sat down at home for about three weeks but I think that is actually the case! Just before Christmas kicked off we went

There’s a ‘Best of 2004‘ so here comes The Best of 2005!!! Album of the Year – Jack Johnson – In Between Dreams I’d never heard of Jack Johnson until a group of us went to see him live in a park in Sydney, Australia. The gig was really good

Merry Christmas 2005

Merry Christmas to everyone from Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire Merry Christmas from Ron and Gary As soon as I’ve digested Christmas dinner I’ll write some more 😉 Rock on!

Woolloomooloo Reunion

Moustache Magnus was in town from Sweden (here, here, here, here, here, here, here and finally here) pretty much a year to the day that I last saw him on a nice sunny day in Sydney airport as he flew back to Sweden via Thailand. Magnus arrived late on Friday

Screaming Like Monkeys

Surfing in Bondi was called off yesterday after a 4-5 metre (2-3 post hype) bronzer or tiger shark was seen swimming in the bay. “There were 100 people up the top screaming like monkeys,” said Anthony Carroll, one of the lifeguards who went out on jet-skis to alert swimmers. Bondi

Better than Maroubra (Surf Trip 7)

Matts words not mine. Matt was here again on a stop off from Bangkok and about to fly back over to Sydney via Singapore. It was also his birthday so we all headed up to Shoreditch for a couple of drinks in Hoxton square and something to eat at Macondo.

Prego! Prego!

A little winter trip was much needed to get away from the London coldness blues, so we hit Sardinia, which is an island just off of Italy (you can see it here). It was a beautiful little trip and very cheap costing only £80. Although it was out of season

Ki’s 25th Birthday London Style

Ki joined the revolution and decided to hit London town for his 25th celebrations. The guys all arrived on a cold cold Saturday morning in London. Ki brought down his computer for me to fix but didn’t bring the monitor or keyboard so it will have to wait for

Yesterday was weird

Kelly Slater has won the ASP world championships for the seventh time! It makes him the youngest and oldest winner of the ASP, doing it when he was 20, then five times inbetween, and then onces again now he is 33! Amazing! Slater wins on points And here he is

Up North

This weekend I swapped the board for a horse and a farm as we set out for North Yorkshire. Yorkshire is about five hours drive North of London so it is a bit like driving to Cornwall but in a different direction (and on a much better road). I loaded

C - O - L - D (Surf Trip VI)

And it will only get colder from here on in. The Global Surfari Surf Report was putting out 3ft waves with hardly any wind but short periods for the weekend. So it was with a 50/50 decision that we headed to the Welsh capital of Cardiff for an extended

“You can’t surf in England”

Newquay on Saturday 15th October – Can you see the little man? “Little Fistral” Worst Case Scenario…happening The rocks on the coast here are potentially deadly, as I found out at Croyde when stepping on one! All these pictures are from the marvellous K-Fish website, so check it out. Wonder
