check out the chillis

our very first meal on tour in Hongkers....... We found a restaurant and asked for the special - schezwan spicy fish. fair enough she did try to warn us that it was hot but I would have never of thought that many chillis would be put into the one dish....

funny enough it wasn't the chillis that produced the heat. those little pepercorn balls you see are the babies that packed the punch.....

back at base

Calling all vegas crew!!!

We have returned from foriegn places hanging with similar faces and the news is good. All foriegn based fixers are good (bloody great in fact - miss them already).

We have a couple of pics we'll post soon. Just have to downsize them so they dont take so farken long to download....

Anywaste a crew catch up in the near future is warranted so be on the look out for an excuse....

CUPPLA SITES

G'Day Kiddos,

It's been a tad quiet on this site of recent. I guess that's because there are a cuppla other sights worth checking out:

FACEBOOK - http://www.facebook.com/
Most of you are on it but if you're not then get with the picture and get into it. Its loads of fun and of course the opportunity of touching base with someone you thought was lost from your spectrum of being.

LAST - http://www.last.fm/
This really is a fascinating site - especially for all you musak buffs. The programme attaches to your iTunes and keeps an eye on what your listening to. You can then head to your profile and get recomendations and playlists from other users who are into the same thing as you. For those of you who dont keep musak on the computer you can still make up a profile, type in a group/record etc and get recomendations on other musak. A great source.... and loads of fun for the cyber surfer.... Bear, Mickus, Markus & Hound, dont waste time boys - get into it

Most importantly: rule number 1

These emergency instructions were written on the back of the seats on a ferry Bluey and I took in Croatia. You've got to love a country that has its priorities so well in hand.

A bit of Paul Kelly Magic..

For all those who've travelled, are travelling or may just like Paul Kelly..
Here's the Lyrics for his song "Every F#*king City" from Triple J's Hottest 100, 2000

We argued on the channel train to Paris
The vin rouge helped us make it sweet again
But by the time that we got down to Lyon
Everything I said was wrong and you cursed me in the rain
We split up for a while in Barcelona
We met up six days later in Madrid
I was hoping that the break would make things go a little better for us
And for a little while it almost did
Now I'm in a bar in Copenhagen
And i'm trying hard to forget your name
And I'm staring at the label on a bottle of cerveza
And every fucking city feels the same

You said to call you when I got to London
A French girl told me that you'd left a note
I said to her "I like your accent" and she thought I sounded funny
So we ended up drinking in Soho
Foolishly I followed you to Dublin
Like a ghost I walked the streets of Temple Bar
And all the bright young things were throwing up their Guinness in the gutters
And once I thought I saw you from afar
Now I'm in a nightclub in Helsinki
And they're playing La Vida Loca once again
And I can't believe I'm dancing to this crap but I'm a chance here
And every fucking city sounds the same

At a cafe in the port of Amsterdam
An E-mail from you said you'd gone to Rome
For a minute I thought maybe but my funds were running low
And anyway it sounded like you weren't alone
So I headed north until I got to Hamburg
A chilly city suits a troubled soul
And on the Reeperbahn I paid a woman far too much
To kick me out before I'd even reached my goal
Now I'm in a restaurant in Stockholm
And the waiter here wants me to know his name
And I can order sandwiches in seven different languages
But every fucking city looks the same
Arriverderci, au revoir, aufwiedersen, hasta la vista baby
Yeah, every fucking city's just the same

Life Lessons

A teacher gave her class of 11 year olds an assignment:
To get their parents to tell them a story with a moral
at the end of it.

The next day the kids came back and one by one began
to tell their stories.

Ashley said, "My father's a farmer and we have a lot of
egg laying hens. One time we were taking our eggs to
market in a basket on the front seat of the car when we
hit a big bump in the road and all the eggs got broken.

"What's the moral of that story?" asked the teacher.

"Don't put all your eggs in one basket!"

"Very good," said the teacher.

Next little Sarah raised her hand and said, "Our family
farmers too. But we raise chickens for the meat market.
One day we had a dozen eggs, but when they hatched
we only got ten live chicks, and the moral to this story
is, 'Don't count your chickens before they're hatched'."

"That was a fine story Sarah."

Michael, do you have a story to share?"

"Yes. My daddy told me this story about my Aunty Sharon.
Aunty Sharon was a flight engineer on a plane in the
Gulf War and her plane got hit.

She had to bail out over enemy territory and all she had
was a bottle of whisky, a machine gun and a machete.

She drank the whiskey on the way down so it wouldn't
break and then she landed right in the middle of 100
enemy troops.

She killed seventy of them with the machine gun
until she ran out of bullets. Then she killed twenty more
with the machete until the blade broke. And then she
killed the last ten with her bare hands."

"Good heavens," said the horrified teacher, "what kind of
moral did your daddy tell you from that horrible story?"

"Stay the f*** away from Aunty Sharon when she's been drinking."

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.........
