Forty One Restaurant on Level Forty Two

After a hard days work, tonight, as a farewell to my parents who have been in Sydney for the past two months, we went to Forty One Restaurant. I have to say it was probably the best restaurant I have ever been to ever. This was also the most expensive

Sue’s Leaving Party

Sunday was Sue’s leaving party, although she is not leaving for another week she was kind enough to have it a week early as Andy and myself are going up to the Sunshine Coast for a couple of days. Pictures of that to come no doubt. Here is a

Surf Update

5 people drowned (here / here) at the weekend in NSW because of the waves. It really brings home how dangerous the ocean is, especially after my close encounter. We went out today and the waves are still 4-5ft, this time I was much more aware of my location in the

Beastie Boys, Wave Aid and…. surfing

The swell in the pacific ocean had been increasing since Wednesday and had reached 5ft by Friday and is currently staying around this level. Meauring a wave is a science, just have a look at this page that tries to explain how to do it. My method of measuring a

Australia Day!!!

On the 26th of January every year, Australia celebrates the arrival of the first fleet. The first fleet consisted of 11 boats that brought the original settlers (I use the words ‘original settlers’ loosely considering the aboriginals were settled here long before) to Australia. They were made up of mostly

Kiko, Tracey Redhead, Surfing (of course) picture fest!!!

Went to see Kiko tonight, they played at One World Sports bar in Darling Harbour. They are a really cool band that play a Portishead style of music. You may recognise Matt (pilot) and Mike (friend around the corner) on the left – I am not really a big fan of

Pups with no tales to tell

I went to Birkin Head Point for lunch today with Charmaine. We went to ‘The Pet Store’ where I read this sad sign on the window of a cage of puppies. I am sad to have read this sign, it seems some of these dogs will have no stories to

Household Arguments

We all have them. Although I sometimes wonder how an argument can erupt when it is just about the rights and wrongs of vaccumming bathroom tiles – Right Click .. Save Target As… (REQUIRES SOUND)

Why don’t I remember this night?

Ok…so the night went like this I thought… Went out with Rach, Cecile and Mike to see ‘Hero’ at the open air cinema at Olympic Park (film was ok)… Got back and went to Mrs Macquarie’s Chair to watch the light display on the bridge…got home at

Rug Dealers

“ONE OFFER!!! I WOULD CALCULATE I NEVER TAKE THE MACHINE CALCULATOR IN MY HAND I WILL DO IT WITH YOU NOW.” I just found this on the interweb somewhere and thought it was funny. I believe it was filmed in US of A. RIGHT CLICK SAVE TARGET AS (requires sound)

Seal Rocks (again)

My initial worries was how we were going to fit 2 tents, 4 sleeping bags, alcohol, food and all and sundry camping equipment (kindly provided by Mike and Rach) into my 1989 Vitara which has a boot 3-4 inches wide. Well we managed to get it all in and do

Hunter Valley

Went to the Hunter Valley today with parents. It is a pretty cool, just vineyards all over the place. I was designated driver so was not drinking. I managed to get some nice photos. I saw those two horses outside a tasting house, when I came out 5 minutes later

Matt Snappers Featurette

Matt Snappers (former flatmate lives around the corner) told me today that he felt his exposure on g2007.com was far too low. So, to compensate this, I have created this photo collage of him from the previous 8 months. Can you match the event to the face? (The events

Charmaine has put together a nice little video of the fireworks and pictures taken on NYE. Thanks and well done Charmaine!! You can download it here (RIGHT CLICK..SAVE TARGET AS.. Requires sound).

Best of 2004

Everyone seems to be doing it, so here is my best of 2004 list. Album of the Year – Elliott Smith, A Basement on the Hill A post-humous release from Elliott Smith and to be honest probably my most favourite one. All the tracks are excellent but some stand out above

IntelliSense on Acid?

In VS.NET 2003 I have an .CS file that always turns intellisense inside out. It doesn’t seem to matter if I copy the contents of the file into notepad, delete the file and then recreate it and paste the code back into it. I think it must be

Merry Merry Merry

Christmas doesn’t feel like Christmas in Australia. I imagine every Englisher says that. For a start it is not cold (except for Christmas day where I did actually feel cold) and secondly there’s a real lack of decorations. Christmas day in UK is more of an occasion because

Christmas Party - 18th December

A Christmas party was organised at Rach and Mike’s house tonight. It was very cool, especially when Lyly (a suferette) dressed up as Santa!! We had to arrange secret santa and also I had to bring some vegetables (brussel spouts + carrots) – couldn’t find Brussel Spouts (you can only

Eddie Aikau 2004

Eddie Aikau is a Hawaiian surfing legend who rode (very) big waves in Hawaii. An event is held every year in his memory. The cool thing about this event is that it only happens when the wave measures a minimum of 20-foot from crest to trough. Wipeout from the Event

Magnus Leaving Video

I got stung today by a Jellyfish or something similar whilst surfing 🙁 It really hurt at first but I was too busy trying to ‘hang 10’ so the pain had subsided when my mind was actually completely concentrating on it when I was out of the sea. Anyway, I found
