Boxing Day Ashes

3rd row Bay 13 Boxing Day Ashes what more could you want (maybe a slightly more even contest from the arch rival poms)

Haynesies Farewell

Haynesie not only left telstra but is due to leave OZ on a one way ticket to Goa. We had a send off for him at the Belgian Beer Garden. Please excuse the file photo as no cameras were present (and its tradition to post a photo with Sol anytime a workmate leaves Telstra).

Hope he doesn't mind me linking to his travel photos some absolutely crazy shots in there.

Christmas at Reindeer Park

Had our inaugural Christmas dinner this time at Eddies new house in (rein)Deer Park.

Top Work coach Murphy for getting there early and reserving prime position (apologies again for the Tom Time Delay (c)). Apologies to top hat Desira for piking on being his top hat partner with the poor excuse that it would clash with my suit (I regret that now). Check out the recruitment image for next years Derby Day below:


Great work Pete and Chrissy for the pre-race champagne brekkie. Click below for Peteys pics from the day plenty of random horse puppet photos:

Action packed day of adventure somewhat inconveniently timed for me.
Full credit to Patcho and the rest of the Munnas bucks day/night extravaganza organizing committee, they had the day scheduled to the minute:
Check out the photos from the paintball(click below to go to the set):

and the BBQ (Kegs are awesome):


I dropped by Tim and Billy's Pirate themed birthday party:

Then caught up with the lads at Lions after which we ended up at some bar called 20something. Strange place they wouldn't let us dance.

Will link to Coach Murphy's much more detailed and entertaining blog entry here when he gets around to doing it.

Another action packed weekend. It was a mini Young Endeavour reunion Jesse, Captain Mick, Ben, Rinny, Anna and Juzzy all travelled many Kilometres to be there very much appreciated. Sydney, Wodonga, Echuca very impressive.Maria is also to be commended for dropping into Melbourne-town for the weekend all the way from Sweden (well she was in Sydney and arranged to drop by on the way to Perth).

Had some fun with the guys at Wood and Grieve Engineers who were playing air hockey in their rec room after knocking off for Friday. We were watching them from our apartment and decided to start communications:(Bring Table have Beer)

At first we thought they ignored us but later we discovered thay actually printed out a massive sign that read:

"Table Heavy
Have Beer
Need Boobies"

(It was a particularly nice touch they reversed the 'B' on the computer to match the stuffed-up B on my bedroom window)



Party was great. We met up at the 3 Kings Kindgom before heading over en masse to Dolce Lounge. There were some really impressive costumes and the Texas Ranger (mick the gay cow boy)even made it down to enforce the roundhouse kick not dressed up penalty.

The lights were awesome top work Gez! Check out Gez's corroborating blog entry with a link to Davos photos.
Check out Coach Murph's corroborating blog entry with a list of who dressed as what here


Next day we showed Maria couple of the sights of Melbourne.
Big thanks to Murph for driving. Luna Park:
