Slug, You are doing some serious miles around the joint!!! The photos are Awesome, Ken Othe they are! Coboys flopped again and we all came to the unanamous decision to blame you for missing out on yet another premiership!!! Hhahaha... only kidding(but serious we would have won with you) ... Ok man i'm talking shit... I bet you are hanging out for a few cold frothies in an irish pub!! The Blues are in the NAB cup final against The Lions. Not sure how we will go but we steam rolled Kangas in the last quarter on Satdy night! Me Parto and Funky went to the Australian Cup on Saturday and it was the best day of racing of witnessed. Parto won about $1200, Funky $600 and ofcoarse i did my arse and lost about $600!!! Usual bad-luck-cabel stories when i backed the 2nd place getters all F?#king DAY!! Anyway The other boys flew home sunday and i drove over to Naracoorte SA to visit Tommy Dennis for a couple of days.. Long drive but was great to catch up with him and man did we get ripped Sundy night.. Holy Shit!! Drank whiskey all night and was crook as a dog when i drove back to Melbourne to get on the boat the next day.. Had a top time though.... Anyway i'm flat stick at work at the moment(no really i am!!!) And am kinda glad that Basketball and Cricket are over now coz it's great to concentrate fully on footy now.. Can't wait to start and all the boys have a good vibe about things at the moment so hope to do a bit better than last year..

hey slugger, sounds like you are having an amazing time. Thought is was time i wrote you a comment havent wrote one yet, had to wait to Jess got home so she could show me how haha. getting crook wouldnt of been to good i shouldn't amagine. It's bad enough getting crook at home let alone over there. it sounds like you have meet some great people which would help things alot. some of the pictures you sent look unbeleivable. things have changed since you've gone, havent been drunk for 3 weeks amazing. Found a great chick at Stormy's 21st, now that is a change! played cricket last week against Central and took 6/27. played them again this week in the final and could only manage 1/24 but top scored with the bat with 24 not out, we only made 133. they made 222. losers. anyway slug hope you keep having a great time and keep out of trouble. might write a bit more often now i know how to turn the computer on haha! best of luck bugsy.

Cowboys are out
Het slugger, just thought i better let you know that the Cowboys lost to Auto's team. They blamed it on you - as you would of shot your usual 8 points or so. I'm not too sure how much you lost by but it was only a few points. Anyway, the Stars are in (the team Im in). We beat Nat and Hayley Nichols team by a few points. So now we play the Grenda's team in the Grand Final. Your photos are great, keep up the good work. I hope your keeping safe and good luck in Egypt. Love Meg and Tim P.S. Don't use hotel phones to call home - it is usually 4 times more expensive - big dollars.

"which country?"
poverty is too much in India..can't help it....there are just so many people here...they cheat Indian tourists too but for foreigner tourists they get the feeln of one scapegoat comn straight at em.... dont pay or pay extra money... ya food is cheap and good... India is very passionate about cricket and most people indulge themselves in the game.hence when see Australian or British they try to intimate! for they thrash India in cricket so badly!

It's wedding not weeding......
Yo slug, still enjoying your exploits.Must be hard to not loose your cool especially if unwell.I think the F word would be sneaking out regularly if it was me. What's with all the WEEDINGS,do you mean weddings? Or is it a reference to weeder? Maybe I'm having a blonde moment...Luv you, stay safe,Dianne...

Hey slug, glad to hear your having a good time over there and i hope you get on well in Eygypt, that should be a really great place to visit. Make sure you take plenty of photos for us all to see! Not alot going on here at the moment, your boys lost to the Lakers by 1 point last night so now they have to play the pink team to make it into the grand final.
