Palmy Weekend

So we spent the weekend up in Palmerston North catching up with Justin. Friday night was low key but Saturday night was out of control. The night started out at Justin's place with drinking games and shots. Everyone was basically half dead by the time we left the house and it was only 11pm. We did a lot of club hopping, I think we went to about 7 clubs in total.

At 2:15am we were all partied out. Popped into Subway to grab a dirty chicken fillet and caught a cab back to Justin's. When we arrived at Justin's, Nicole (Justin's GF) pulls up with someone passed out in the passenger seat and covered in spew. Surprise surprise, it was the big man himself. Now Justin is not a small chap. Hes about 6' 5" and 120kgs.
We tried to tempt him with Subway but nothing was going to make him move so we left him outside with the girls and went inside to enjoy our Subway. mmmmmm.........chicken fillet.
At 3am, we decided to call it a night and found Matt passed out in the double bed. Thats what happens when you eat a branch of Ganja.
The room had a single/double bunk. Will Belushi eagerly jumped in and spooned with Matt, Gav took the top bunk (bastard!) and I crashed on the floor.

The next morning, Matt was the first to rise and straight to the toilet he goes for a spew.
The toilet was next to the room and we could hear him gaging and coughing. Since we are such good friends, we stayed in bed and laughed.
On our way home from Breakfast, we stopped in at Mobil for the best hangover cure - Lucozade.
Matt opens his door, casually walked toward the bushes then decided to regurgitate early all over the pavement. Again, because we are such good friends, we ran to his attention and took photos of him.



I will get the Palmy Photos up but I didn't take many as I was preoccupied with my Whiskey.

Matt, You got OWNED!

Christchurch and Palmy Weekend

I went down to christchurch last weekend with the olds to catch up with some family friends.
Its been 13 years since I last saw them. Kids have all grown up now, ain't kids no more.

Matt and I are heading up to Palmerston North tonight to catch up with our mate Justin and also to get on the chops.
Will, Gav, Nath and Owen will be heading up Saturday Evening.
Hopefully I will remember to take my Camera. Should be an interesting night of drunken antics.

Remember people:

Gallery is all go!

The gallery is finally up and running. It took about 6 hours.
I first had to find a site that gave me free hosting, no banners, good storage (2GB) and support for PHP, MySQL databases then it was testing numerous PHP galleries and uploading it onto my website. The end solution was using Coppermine Photo Gallery with hosting from 110mb.

I later found out that google's Picasa Web gave users 1GB of storage without all the fuss with configuration and maintenance.
Nice work google, I now feel like a spoon

Its been a while since I've updated this.
Mainly becuase nothing interesting has happened.
My family took Esther and her daughter Phoenix out for lunch today. Its been a while since we last saw her and the baby.
Heres a picture of the gorgeous little critter.



I'm still working on a photo gallery, that will be up by the time I get to Brisbane.
Thats all for now.

Hope everyone is having a great Easter.
