Music News

It's a rainy day in Mumbai with dark, low clouds encouraging us to stay in and enjoy a bottle of red and some tunes.
Our iTunes library of over 4000 songs is regularly put to the test but today Paul Weller and his album "Days of Speed" has risen to the top and is keeping us entertained as the streets fill with water and the bottle of red is slowly emptied.

We're a bit short on music news in Mumbai so if anyone has any tips for tunes past or present, throw in a comment or better yet, a blog to let us know your music news...

We all know what she's thinkin....

I wonder what she's reading????

Shagga, you got competition....

The Eco VIllage - Currumbin valley

G'Day Folks,

I have been a little lazy of late just posting pics but thought I would introduce all you overseas folks to land that Sal and I recently purchased in the Currumbin Valley.

The actual property is 990 m(sq) and extends from Sally to the dirt road behind her (this is actually greenway not road which was used as an access point for heavy vehicles in preliminary ground work). If you then follow the tree line behind her diagonally up (you may see a fence line in the background) you will get a good glimpse of the actual property. One side of the property actually ends in acres of Hoop Pine forest that are desingated to be left in its natural state which we considered to be a big pull in our purchase.

Anyway that's about it at present. Our designer has finally started on our project so we are eagerly awaiting butter sketches which we hope to have before our vacation.

Hope it gives you some idea of we we are getting ourselves into.........

How many horses do you see?

How many people do you see?

Anyone in Mumbai next weekend....?

If you are then drop in...!
If not, then find a tele, get a beer in yer hand and cheer on the Wallabies against the Kiwis!!

Namaste

Hello - quick note to Mickus - is it possible to add the mumbai-maddness blog to the fix contacts?
Hope all is well to all fellow fixers, Mumbai is raining, yet the monsoon has not hit us as yet. (so we're told)
Shagga and I went down to Sth Bombay today and Indian Gate was saturated, the sea water went up and over the fence, onto the road, up to the Taj Hotel, sweeping some locals off their feet right on the road. We even saw a motorbike get swept away. (pretty cool)

Will get some photo's soon.

Rumour

Rumour has it that the Bear Skin Rug has cut off all his dreads... Is this true?? Does someone have a picture???

Massive news in the Fixer's circles.... We need evidence.....

Only when the last tree has been cut down,

Only when the last river has been poisoned,

Only after the last fish has been caught,

Only then will you find that money cannot be eaten..

State Verses State, Mate Verses Mate!!!

Well what a match..... One that I was so glad to have been a part of.... Burger, Si, Kymbo, Paul, Sal and myself were amongst the 52,000 lucky people to be at the game last night (the biggest crowd at Suncorp EVER).. A great Queensland come back of fairy tale proportions.

I could of kicked myself when I murmured to the person next to me that Tate was about to go in for a try right on half time. His kick and chase went Pete Tong and the rest is history. Queensland down 18 -6 with 40 to go. But you know what, being a person who has watched many a game and believes he actually gets as nervous as the players on the day I would rather be down at half time then defending a lead as we always do better with our backs against the wall. And the boys didnt dissappoint. The buzz at Suncorp was that apparent that I could'nt talk to the person next to me the roar was so loud.

The Blues didnt even score a point in the second half. Mal's half time talk must have been inspirational as we absolutely demolished the Blues not giving them an inch at any point in the second half. I was a proud Queenlsander and my 5 partners in crime were all beaming at the end of the game. Sally actually had to calm me down as I was getting a little cocky on the way home feeling the need to rub the win into any Blues supporter's face that happened to pass by.

Lastly Steven Price take a bow. You're a farken legend mate and have been inducted in my personal hall of fame along with the other Queenslanders I have personaly admired in my time. He epitomised the pride that goes along with wearing a Maroon Jersey. I was in awe of his passion last night. He was inspirational and the best on the field in my opinion. You're a farken legend Pricey... When I think of last night's game in the future I will remember it as the game you stood tall for Queensland (do you think he will read this??).

MATE VERSES MATE...... STATE VERSES STATE...

QUEENSLAND ONE UP.

BRING ON GAME TWO!!!

one nil, one nil, one nil, one nil, one nil, one nil, one nilllllll!!!

Yeeee Farh kinnn harrrrrhh!!!!!! Aight...

Mel or anyone else who would like to become a contributor to the fix please email me so I can reply with the invite. Click on Mickus and it will take you to an address for me.

Oh yeah about Jamesy's parteeee, I was only taking the piss, pretty low key this year.

Bear & Col missing you heaps around the holiest time of the year, State of Origin isn't the same without two of the Mightiest Maroons to grace this earth.

Big Mal called me the other day looking for you Mungus he was hoping you would give the boys a pep talk before they took to the field. I told him you would be available for Game III.

Civil War is almost upon us and the butterflies are settling in so good luck to all you Mighty Maroons where ever you may be.

Jamesy's State of Origin Parteeeeeeeeeeeeee

One more sleep before the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus and the Virgin Mary,all pull resources to deliver the world the greatest of miracles, The Mighty Maroons.

In keeping with tradition good ol' Jamesy will be hosting festivities at Cane Toad Central, rumour has it he is going all out for this one.

The game will be broadcast on a 3m X 6m screen, dinner will include a full roast pig on the spit, don't bring any alcohol as Jamesy has ordered a keg of the Lord's finest amber as well as a carton of that alcoholic lollie water for the NSW supporters. Half time entertainment has also been provided by Jamesy, though I have no idea of its nature.

Cost of the party is $200.00 for each NSW supporter, Queenslanders free.

Please rsvp to Jamesy's mobile. :-)

A night at Narcissus with Paul Oakenfold

Woody and i thought that seeing as we left Australia as VIP's (thanks very much Met Bar) we'd continue on in the fashion we'd become accostumed to. Mr Oakenfold was playing in Bangkok and we thought we'd check him out so we hooked up with friends who live in Bangkok, Marcus, n May. First we had an amazing dinner at a funky hotel where every room is decorated in a differernt bizarre style - bit like picasso. So we had dinner by the pool in a place you'd need to know someone in Bangkok to find and already we were feeling lucky. Woody was very happy when the staff brought out a cake with candles for his 30th birthday. Imagine when we rolled up to the club Oakenfold was playing at - we felt pure rock star as it was like a huge, white palace. We wo wo wo wah. We were very essite. We got great pole position just above the DJ box and the place was pumping! The feeling was amazing and crazy being in such an ultra electrifying club. Then Okenfold arrived. The crowd loved him. Woody leant over and said "hey paul, over here - we're a friend of Josie James, the Josie James" .. That was our portal in and one thing lead to another which was that several hours later there we were having a bit of a laugh and joke post set with Mr Okenfold in a palatial hotel. He was quite down to earth bloke, happy to have have a genuine chat and give us some words of wisdom based on his travels in the area. He'd just walked off playing to a crowd of heaving thousands and there he was telling us "yes, so I was just saying to my mum the other day 'Who'd a thought i'd get to see the world with a crate of records'" ... bless him .. It was all very nice... So we were pretty stoked as we found our way back to Kho Sanh Rd. And a message to Josie: a big hello from Paul Oakenfold....

ps look very carefully in pics ->Where's Woody?

The Weekend in Review

Woody and Sally celebrated their brithdays on the weekend and quite a large crowd turned out to let their hair down.... We started at Garuvas squeezing approximately 26 people into seating for 20. There are a couple of points I need to highlight about this venue - most importantly the food is expensive and crap - don't ever go there if your wanting a half decent meal because no one enjoyed their meal (yes all 26 peeps). Point two - don't meet friends pre dinner in the bar if you want to chat as the band is so loud you will go hoarse before you eat crap food. All in all we had a good time because of the people but will not be going back there again..... Pity as it does have a good ambience...

We then moved on to 'The Met' a couple of hundred metres up the road and all managed to score VIP lounge entrance. This was where it all went to pippys and the mutants came out to play. We had an absolute ball and despite the gifts going missing (found two days later) and Nardine's purse being stolen (presently not found) the smiles were abundant. A few of the mutants ended up at Hazlewood street and Jamesy kindly served up a special after club treat (thanks mate).

To all involved thanks for turning up as it meant a lot to Woody and Sal and despite the "one night party, three days recovery" that comes with age I know if we had the chance we would do it all again... and again..... and again......

Special thanks to the interstate travelers in Shagga and Sami.... nice one.... Thank you also to Kymbo (you know why)....

Enjoy the pics........

Mong on Baby!
