Sydney and Newcastle
After Queensland I flew down to Sydney to meet up with Benno. Went and cruised around my old stomping ground in North Sydney. I found out also that somehow I managed to pull the proverbial out of the hat and got first-class honours across the board for uni. Since then I've had two new very lucrative job offers which for at least the first year will go begging.
View from my old school
Newcastle, despite being full of Novacastrians, has surprisingly good (but limited) nightlife, and is a good looking town (if you can ignore the industry).
Right after the above photo, Benno passed out on the toilet post-cheese sandwich. Notice the heavily reliance on kitchen bench for verticular maintenance. Jane made me rescue him saying, "You fuckin get him out! He's your friend... I'm not a fuckin nurse, I'm an OT!" Fair point. After putting his pants on, Benno passed out again on the floor clutching the shower mat. Now why don't I think to take photos at these moments?
Second night went to a Newcastle keg party. Luke's roomie Jimmy was on fire with the darts. Such an underrated game for drinking... Damn Boonie has some bogan footy team mates. To thank the guy Dave for putting on a great keg party, they poured beer and pissed on his bed, and ripped all his clothes out of the wardrobe and chucked them everywhere... Class... Surprised they didn't let his tyres down too for good measure... Met some of the locals and managed to come in at 7am. Recovery at Penny's next day was rather painful.

Back in Sydney staying at Benno's again. From the next two photos you'll notice that Benny's view has changed somewhat...
It has a Chinese restaurant up the back where you order the meat first, then the sauce, then the rice/noodles you want. Petey got trashed one night and couldn't figure out this rather simple menu. He kept asking, "What's in the chicken one?" The Chinese dude just kept yelling out, "CHICKEN IS CHICKEN!!" over and over. Now every time Pete orders any sort of food he cops it. We won about $500 at the Cas (damn Star City is crap compared with Crown) with a bit of luck on Blackjack. Back in Melbourne it was straight to the 'dog of course... I almost missed you guys... Almost...
Friday night ended up at Cookie... again... On the way home Friday night Smolks was yelling out at the cabbie for cutting her off, "Do you want to.... FUCK!!!" I said, "Alright, if ya really want." You may have won this round... but the war isn't over... Hi fives for Biz Markie... Note to self though, upstairs of the Waterfront Hotel is mucho good.
Saturday ended up at Transport... again... Ended up at a gay bar at 2am to meet up with Noah and Co. I was singled out by Charisma for being the only single and straight bloke in the place. Bec was supposed to be my bum protection but she untied my shoelace, leaving me with no choice but to bend over... the wall sure came in handy. Jokes aside, it's actually a really good place and a lot of fun, but not really my taste with the drag queen DJ playing Aqua - Barbie Girl as the last song I remember, and it helps if you're gay.
Thanx for reminding me of the view i HAd and the view i now HAVE !

Hehehe, view's still good...
I cheated, I've been to Newcastle before remember on the "Shez Walking Tour". I wouldn't be surprised if that bloke is the first person to cross the Atlantic... on his feet. Otherwise, yes, you were passed out a bit :-)
