I reckon that will save me $$$$ and probably a few extra months of my liver
Ha yeah it's the business. Watched Chelsea/Arsenal on it last night.
On Saturday I had the Boro game on TVU and the Villa game on Justin.tv. Both windows side by side. Both finished 0-0 :rolleyes:0 -

I don't care where the camera is as long as the pics are kwalityHopefully the camera will be operational soon. Might try sew one into a pair of boardies.
Just about to wrap it up for the day. By the time I get home he will most likely be crashed in a drunken stupor. What cracks me up is that he keeps thanking people that are obviously bagging him.watna wrote:Anyone think we should mess with the drunk guy in AH a bit?

Got a Christmas present from my boss today.
It's an ipod touch. I can honestly say it's the best present I've ever got. For the first time in my life I was really speechless. I'm syncing it now and am so excited. I've been saving for one which my boss knew so it was so thoughtful.
So my day pretty much rocked! 0 -

Last time I had Macca's after a night on the sauce it repeated on me the whole night and I think I actually got up to chuck at one stage. It was pretty ugghhhh!i'veb had mcdonalds and diet coke. will that be ok?
By the time you see your parents you will most likely be so excited to see them that you will forget about your hangover. They will probably be a little jet lagged too so relaxay vous

watch it mate, at least 4 times more likely to get skin cancer living here than most other places in the world.
and aww the only thing that was making me feel really positive about going to melbourne was all the surfing i'd get to do. now ive discovered a pretty bad ding in my board, letting in the water and the sand... gonna cost nearly as much as the board did to fix it, now the question is... do i do that, or sell it and buy a new one?
man, i *DO NOT* need that kinda expense now, im outta work till probably february :eek:0 -

That's unfortunate. The other thing to factor in is the cost of transporting it to Melbourne. Surely it will cost you a few quid to do that?0 -

^ lmao, 6"2, perfect for a beginner... when i told my instructors (who im quite friendly with at this stage) that i was getting a 7"4 fibreglass one (as opposed to nsp), they made funny faces and asked me if i was sure that was a good idea a 6"2 would turn you off trying to learn!Personally I would sell it and pick up another board when you get here. You will probably pick up a board for a resonable price on Ebay in pretty good condition if you can't afford a new one straight off. So when are you planning on making the move because Autumn is a great time to surf here?
brought it in to the repair guy today, he reckons it's defniitely salvagable, will definitely be able to repair it and keep it going for a few years yet, and probably still sell it and get the same price for it that i got it for (though admittedly, i have spent a lil bit on repairing a small ding,a nd the footrope). but he did also joke that there was so much water in tehre we could probably put a fish in there. basically, ive to put some holes in it, get all teh water out and let the whole thing dry up, then he can repair it for a hundy. in the meantime, i jsut gota duct tape up the left rail whenever i go out, and let it all out when i get back in poor eddy's gonna look a right state, but it'll work otu
yeah, contemplating picking up another board in oz, supposed to be more widely available, and consequently cheaper there... adn ill be over in melbourne this weekend, adn then moving properly on the 15th 0 -

Parents just left after visiting for two weeks. We had the most fab holiday - really good but I'm so depressed now. My holiday is over, I have to go back to work and I don't know when I'm going home or when I'll see my parents again.
Why is NZ just so far away?
The only solution is to drink a bottle of wine. We went wine tasting in Marlborough for a day on bikes (Seriously, do it!) so at least I have a lot of wine to choose one. I think I bought a bottle in every vineyard we visited!
@Crumble... I'm too depressed to write a long pm but my battery went before Christchurch and I had no charger with me (smart, I know!) so I couldn't get in touch. We were only there new year's eve anyway so I didn 't have much time. I'm going back the Ch Ch in June on a mini holiday with a friend from work so how about a mini boards beers then? We can see is there anyone else around then.0 -

ahHA! im flying virgin/pacific blue, and apparently they just treat all surfboards as 5kg, so as long as the rest of the luggage isnt more than 15kg, we're all gravyParents just left after visiting for two weeks.

awwww... *hugs*
it'll come. look on the bright side... you have work, just keep saving it up, and you'll never know what 'll come your way. dont end up like me, with no money, and nowhere to go! not a good lifestyle.The only solution is to drink a bottle of wine.

haha, awesome. ok, so i hate wine. but been to a winery in kaikoura (for a wedding) and one at rossendales in chch, for work with dinner. dinner with work. whatever. and were quite nice locations. dinner at rossendales was made more interesting, as twas a posh place, and one of the company was dressed entirely as a reindeer (courtesy of the warehouse), in order to get us to pay for his meal@Crumble...
