Been a while, hasn't it. Strange things have been happening. Apparently it has been decided that Jules doesn't need to work anymore by a freak of an accident. Let me explain... Monday, 32 degrees, beach @ 11am with a cool box filled with food and drinks ready for a day of it. City beach, the safer quiet one for sunbathers and flapping around in the water. 11.30, a wave comes at Jules like an irate weasel knocking her to the floor. I swim over to see her cradling her right arm and a boob popping out (lol). 11.45 we arrive a [View Full Entry]

So, notice served and weeks remain of work. It's been a bit of a strange year. Spent the first part of it working my nuts off for a complete muppet, being the "face" of a bar that was more concerned about the women behind the bar than the ability to provide any kind of service (although putting crisps on the bottom shelf and asking the barstaff to get a packet without bending their legs is probably considered service there), the suggestion that they should wear short skirts, drink behind the bar, owner drinking with punters, openly criticising team to customers and [View Full Entry]

Yep, The recovering alcoholic, drug user, 5-minute-marriager and Paris Hiltonite has hit the shores of Australia. Thankfully they share as much regard for her as I do. Within hours of landing "Fans" were complaining because she wouldn't sign any autographs. "Fans" because these were 50 year old me, rather well-built and worn very thick glasses....hmmm....there for Britney or the 14 year old? So other than being followed around by some pedophiles, she was also accused of lip-syncing! I know, I'm thinking the same [View Full Entry]

Though I might be generous and leave a list of bookmarks up for those that are planning to travel or who are already are. Here's the places I spend my time checking up on stuff for the rest of our travels or just to keep me amused... TravelFish - Awesome for SEA Thorntree - From Lonely Planet Bootsnall - Think they're better than LP but never seems to be a up-to-date for the stuff I'm looking for. Webjet - For Austr [View Full Entry]

Past week has been amusing. Really quiet and boring at work in the past weekend, bar a Thursday night when "the future" of law in WA came in and got drunk. They covered themselves in glory and some of them managed to cover themselves in sick. Muppets. The Saturday following that was hit and miss. Quiet day at work so I belted down to the Casino (the only one in WA) to watch the Tottenham/Stoke game. 5 min before halftime and we get a phone call from Jules telling me that one of her friends got bottled! After getting to Leederville [View Full Entry]

Penguin Island? Seagull island more like. After an hour drive on a hot day (we really should have been at Adventure World) we arrived in Rockingham and got straight to the jetty to get tickets over to the Island. It's private land that has a sanctuary for penguins on it. Yep, 30+ degrees and there's penguins in Australia!?! Maybe me being naive but don't they live in the arctic and dance? Either way, $17 per person lighter and we set off across the water to the island. It's actually possible to walk it, we had the [View Full Entry]

So today I sat my “Approved Manager” course with Clubs WA. 12-5 I was told. After leaving at 3.30 I was relieved. I hate courses like this. Put me behind a bar for 14 hours straight any day of the week that sit me in a classroom listening to someone talk. I get so tired being talked to. What did I learn? Well some useful stuff about laws in WA regarding alcohol. I now know that the way they operate in this country (well state) and manage alcohol makes the UK look archaic - about the the only thing! The emphasis [View Full Entry]

Well work Saturday was fun. Anyone who has worked in a bar will know "that feeling" you get when some complete muppets come in and annoy you. "Put an extra shot in, im mates with xxxx" or "I know you e closed but just one more". That feeling that festers in you when you want to smash their face into the bar. Just drives you crazy. They often come in drunk and wonder why you e not serving them. And the irony when they are twice your age and can understand why they look stupid for not knowing their own limits. [View Full Entry]

Weather looks to have finally turned. 25 degrees Wednesday, 27 yesterday, 35 is predicted for Saturday. Working all of them mind! Off Sunday and Tuesday which is a relief, just hoping my Englishness doesn't turn the weather back to the "Burnley" type we've been having. Talking of Tuesday, we're hitting a water park! Yep, Mid-October and i'll be running around, pushing small children out of the way and throwing myself down water slides backwards whilst a 16y/o life-guard apparently tries to stop me! Life-guard - LOL! On the subject of money, it's been a bit of a spe [View Full Entry]
