Free Gym!!
Well I'm back at "that client" at Rhodes. Started out being a 1 month contract and after 2 days it has turned into a 6 month contract... typical. BUT I'm pretty happy to be here actually. The CBD is nice but expensive. Out here we have a mall and I've just found out about the free gym!!! The staff are from UTS and are very enthusiastic, not like the Fitness First drones. Ill be riding to work from next week. Lovelly.

UK Police Targetting Tupperware
UK Police are now stating that all the London bombers used plastic storage containers to house the bombs... They will now be executing a "shoot-to-kill" policy for all hosts of tupperware parties. I think this policy is fair and just. A tupperware spokesman was quoted as saying "Well we knew what was going on, we knew how these parties were ruining society and propogating household conflicts worldwide... and we did nothing...".

I heart The Burgh...
What a top day! I was to pick up my friend laurent at 8:30 to go Orienteering at hornsby... He called me right on 8:30 and told me in a rather garbled voice that he had been out late and didnt want to come. No problem. He called back 15 mins later and changed his mind but asked that i pick him up from glebe. No problem. I saw conrad and his crew wandering around the streets of glebe when i took a wrong turn. When i arrived Laurent staggered from some girls house with a beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other. He was still drunk. Problem. Orienteering was ok for me. A difficult course saw me lose 10 minutes to error and poor route choice. Laurent on the other hand came in 1 hour later and was visibly distressed. He had stopped at a house out on the course and asked them for some sugary food! He passed out on the way home and we had burgers for lunch before parting ways. I did some bike maintenance (not quite enough as it turns out) and headed for some mtb at the burgh. Hit the trail late but prepared for the worst. The ride completely rocked as i had my new mp3 player (thanks nathan!). My new playlist kicks ass and 1200 techniques are brilliant to ride to. Unfortunately I ran into some bike troubles but after 45 minutes of invention using gaffer tape, zip ties and a stick, i was back on the trails. I could only use the large chain ring so i had to ride the trails faster and in the dark that saw me in the bushes a few times. The late start and the 45 minute delay took away my visibilty pretty fast. It was nmot 5:30pm. I switched to the headlamp when i got into the valley, where even at midday it is dark under all the foliage. This is leech country. I had to walk up one nasty ascent so i stopped the music for a while; rocking beats seem in appropriate when you are pushing your bike like a nancy. I shouldnt have turned the music off as i then heard noises in the bush that sounded *exactly* like a wild pig preparing for attack. I convinced myself that it was just a deer and put the phones back in (if i cant see or hear it, it doesnt exist). I made it out successfully (and with no leeches) and because I am windswept and interesting I decided not to end the adventure there. I drove south in search of a fish and chip bounty. My want was satisfied at Stanwell Park and I drove back up to the bald hill lookout and ate dinner overlooking wollongong. The wind was absolutely rocketing over the escarpment and I think it was coming straight from the snow. Drove home with a full stomach and was asleep before my head hit the pillow. Cant ask for more than that. :)

It was 20 years ago today...
Thousands of people dressed in white in the Meadow Park area of Edinburgh, Scotland as around 200,000 people gathered to 'make poverty history'.
Photo: PA
I expect an update from our reporter on the scene... Christophe...with the names he has been dropping lately we expext no less that backstage footage!
Went camping on the weekend with Brett and his Son Jordan. We camped near Lockeys Pylon (where this photo was taken) which is 20km north of Leura in the Blue Mountains. We set up shop and hiked down into the Bluegum Forest. We were running behind schedule so the hardest part of the 400m climb out of the valley was done at night with only one headlamp between us. We (I) lost the tent as well but after a tense 30 minute search we saw a fleck of orange through the trees and made it safely home! Did some orienteering on Sunday morning at Glenbrook. Our team lost the round but so did our main rivals so the next round will secure either of us a place in the finals. Im going to be in Tamworth so I cant go to this event but maybe thats good for the team! ;-)

GOD, SPEED YOUR LOVE TO... AFRICA
From www.atu2.com:
And they're underway in London. Paul McCartney joins U2 on stage to sing "Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," the first time Bono and Macca have sung together since the Live Aid finale 20 years ago and the first time the song has ever been performed live. Then it's "Beautiful Day," with Bono changing the lyrics to mention all the cities hosting Live 8 shows and adding a bit of "Blackbird" at the end. Oh, and let's not forget that white doves are released, too. Beautiful day, indeed. Next is "Vertigo" -- "just give us what we want, give us what we want!" Bono encourages the G8 leaders to "make history by making poverty history" before U2 launches into "One," which includes the "Hear us coming, Lord" coda along with "Unchained Melody" at the end. Bono prays, "God, speed your love to... Africa." And we say, "Amen."
Update: You can purchase the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Bandicon collaboration on iTunes. Proceeds benefit Live 8.
