Wasn't he that guy...

Who used to update his website with some really cool stories? Well yeah I was and hopefully still am. It’s been a long winter here in London and despite a lot of good times partying there hasn’t really been anything memorable to write about.

I have been working on some stories lately though and hope to have them up soon… And I’m going away this weekend on a hockey tour - something good ALWAYS happens on tour. Especially when it’s a mixed hockey tournament.

So don’t touch that dial kids! But if you do (you know you want to), just make sure you pay a visit in the not to distant future…

Photo Gallery

For those of you who haven’t noticed, the Gallery link is now active on the side navigation. I have recently got more space on my web server and decided to fill it up with photos. I’m slowly getting my albums up - but in the mean time there are a few pics of various parties to look at. I have added the ability to add comments and even rank pictures. The ranking system allows you to rate a picture with stars - so if you like a photo give it five stars. In time I will organise albums by rank so the more popular photos will be at the start.

My first UK job

Finding a job in London is no easy task. Especially when you are a chronic procrastinator like me. But with an ever decreasing bank balance I needed to get some work. Luckily enough a job came along that took my fancy.

VISA!!

I know it’s been a while since I last updated but my life has been quite busy as of late. I got back from a long weekend of sun in Taraunga to find my passport had arrived back from the British High Commission with my working holiday visa inside. It came pretty quick - the application says 6 - 8 weeks and I was thinking it might take that long due to the hostile nature of the lady at the visa office. But 1 week later and it arrived! Talk about stoked. Now I just have to see about setting up my UK bank account then nothing will stop me from traveling the world! (well the United Kingdom anyways).

7 weeks

I’m came back to work yesterday and realised that I only have 7 weeks left in the country. And 6 weeks left at work. I was wondering if it is possible that I can “jack-out” and it will be 25th Feb already? But I guess then I will have to have someone work for me, organise my visa and attend all sorts of going away functions. All this while taking care of my comatose like body (ie keeping my nutritional requirements met and making sure my body does not become atrophied). Finding someone to undertake this would probably take 7 weeks to organise so I’m going to do it all myself. If only I was more organised...

Oh yeah I have heaps of stuff for sale. A++++ highly recommended traders only!
