Yo!
This weeks news is I have started a new job, working in an Apple Centre selling Apple Macs. I think this is the best job I have ever had as I get to play with and talk about computers all day long. I'm also still doing Property Assistance at the Commonwealth Bank which means people call me up and complain all day long.
Things are on the up tho, I have finally done my Responsible Service of Alcohol Certificate meaning I can now legally get a bar job here. If I find one then I'll have 3 jobs and should be able to save.
On Sunday JieBie and I moved rooms in our flat. We moved from the small room to the medium room, so again things are looking up. We have furnished our room with a desk and a chair we found in the bins we are indeed living like kings.
Saturday is JieBie's 22nd so my mission for the night is to get him so intoxicated he does something which will get him deported.

Had a most fantastic adventure on Saturday. It involved lots of underground exploring, followed by moving a sleeping jiebie out of the flat.
Heard about a group of people on the internet afew months back that regularly explore the hidden and forgotten places of Sydney. My self, Paul and Hunter went along to meet up with them for afew adventures. Jiebie was supposed to come but he opted for a night of hardcore drinking instead.
We almost missed the meeting with the guys, but when we got there we were lucky enough to meet a nice girl who drove us between the various exploration sites in her van. We started the night about 20:30 and were still going until 7:00 thenext morning. It's fantastic how much there is to see under sydney. Unlike an old city like Glasgow, the drains over here are actually big enough to walk around in.
Brough back some happy memories of going exploring back home. There are some pics of our Kelvingrove railway tunnel expedition at http://beakster.5u.com/expedition/expedition.htm
Upon returning home, I tried to wake JieBie, but due to his hardcore drinking I could not wake him up! I decided instead to drag his matress with him and his covers on it off the bed. I dragged him through the lounge and out to the balcony. He was so wasted he did not even wake up!
He did eventually wake up. He woke up when the landlord walked past the flat and saw him fast asleep on the balcony:
"Hey you! What you doing!? You cant sleep out there!" Shouted the landlord.
"What am I doing? I dont know!" Replied JieBie as he awoke and felt very disoriented.
JieBie tried to re-enter the flat, only to find the balcony door was locked. After afew minutes of knocking he managed to wake someone up to let him in, to whom he exclaimed: "Why was I sleeping on the balcony, how did I get there?"
When Jiebie came back to the room, I managed to have him believeing that it was thorugh his own choice that he had gone out to sleep there.
Hopefully more fantastic adventures next week, as I'm planning to go to another Sydney Amiga Users Group meeting, stay tuned!

Still very little news to report. So here is a fantastic adventure from a few months back:
One night JieBie were walking back to our flat in Bondi when we happened upon a church. The church had a huge banner out side advertising "Monte Fair". The though instantly struck us that this banner would look great in our flat. Of course we could not steal a banner which advertised a church event, but the date of Monte Fair was for the previous day, meaning the fair had passed as we would be doing them a favour by taking it down.
We took it down and carried the banner home, where we sellotaped it to the wall then fell asleep. When we awoke, the banner had fallen down, and in our now sober state, did not look as fantastic as it did the previous night.
It was a Sunday as we needed something to do. We thought about putting the banner our on our balcony, but that would just advertise the fact we took it. Struck by a sudden moment of genious, we decided to turn the banner over and write something on the blank reverse side.
Our first choice was of course "International Bawbag Society", but after writing the word International it was clear that we couldn't fit it on. Society was substituted with HQ and after one hour of outlining with a ball point pen, then filling in with a marker, the banner was ready.
We put it out on the balcony and stood on the other side of the road, admiring our handy work with great pride.
People walked past the flat, people looked at the banner, people looked confused. The poor Ausies have trouble wioth the word Bawbag for some reason, it does not seem to be in their vocabulary. Unfortunatley, even though they couldn't he understand it, the landlord took offense.
"What is this International Bawbag HQ?!?!" he asked, when we opened the door to him at 11pm.
"Ah, the banner, its just a friendly welcome message. It means we are international travellers. A bawbag is like a backpacker." I replied.
"You take this down now!" said the landlord.
"Why?" asked I.
"Why! Because the council will fine me $1000 for advertising with out a permit!' exclaimed thew landlord angrily.
I was quite upset by the landlords opinion of the banner. The International Bawbag Society is a non-profit organisation, and I don't see how our banner could constitute advertising in any way. The way I see it is that it is no different to having the name or number of your house on display.
We had to submit to the landlords wishes however, but atleast we have this photo to remind us of our old HQ:

Appologies for not updating for ages. Current mission is to get an internet connection in the flat, once that is achieved I'll be back online 24/7
Recent developments:
Moved into a lovely new flat. It has a sauna, gym, pool, BBQ. Living with 2 guys from home, some welsh guy and 3 Irish girls we accumulated. Life is good, I have a nice Apple Mac I bought on ebay, which I play with at night when I can't afford to go out on the piss.
JieBie and I were friends with some lovely Kiwi girls for a while. We met them when we were staying in our crap flat. Sadly they have moved on to warmer weather:
Admittedly, life is not at it's most fantastic just now, don't have enough money, and therefore not drinking enough.
Things will get more interesting soon so stay tuned for more fantastic adventures!

On Saturday, JieBie and I took the train to Homebush with the intention of going to a closing down sale. Upon arriving at Homebush station, we embarked on a 1 hour walk until we reached the warehouse hosting the sale. We were most disappointed to find that the merchandise at the sale was neither cheap nor worth buying.
Not to be disheartened we decided to explore the area we were in, and headed over towards the Telstra stadium. The stadium was seperated from the warehouse by a large fence. Thanks to my fantastic luck, it was easy to find a hole in the fence and me and JieBie headed through and took a walk round the stadium.
Upon reaching the other side of the staduim, we found ourselfs at the Novotel hotel so went into the bar for a Schooner before heading home. While drinking we saw a large line of people, heading from the hotel, over to the stadium. This was most interesting as the stadium was clearly closed.
Ofcourse, we decided to join this line and when we reached the door of the stadium the attendant on the door said "Are you with the BMW group?"
"Yes" I replied.
"Well hurry up, the tour is about to start!" said the attendent.
JieBie and I were then taken on a tour of the whole Telstra stadium, which included the changing rooms, the olympic podium and shown how the seats are rearranged for different events. Very satisfied with the tour we were looking forward to leaving the stadium before anyone realised we weren't supposed to be there. The tour guide then said "Ok Gentlemen, if you'd like to proceed through the the Platinum Lounge now where your function will begin."
We were then shown through to a room where there was a podium for a speaker, a whole wall of windows over looking the stadium, 8 tables set for dinner, and a number fo waitresses with trays of beer and wine for us. We took a beer and tried to look inconspicious whilst discussing an escape plan.
Escape seemed unlikely as we did not know the way out, and asking would have drawn suspicion. There was only one thing to do, we had to stay for the function. After checking there was enough seats for everyone, we joined a table with 4 guys about the same age as us, and an old couple. The old couple were there watching their son graduating as an aprentice BMW technicion and the 4 guys were graduating themselfs.
The questions as to who we were came first from the old couple so JieBie and I formulated the story that his family worked for BMW in Germany and I was his cousin, doing an IT contract from BMW in Sydney. The seemed satisfied with this and the younger guys kept to themselfs.
We enjoyed a lovely 3 course meal, a fantastic awards ceromony for the BMW graduates and before desert an Australian comedian entertained us. As we were getting ready to leave, the 4 guys said "Sorry, who are you guys, we never saw you at the games today. You didn't just join the big group of people did you?"
"Of course not!" we replied, and then followed up with a load of bullshit about why we weren't at the activities and our involvement with BMW.
All in all a most enjoyable day, infact a very sucessfull weekend as on Sunday I found a BMX in a skip. It has no saddle and is ment for kids of about 8 years old but is a means of trasport none the less. =)

Look at this fantastic fan!!!
We found this on the street on the way down to the beach. In our flat we had two light fitting, which was not really necessary. After removing one, we managed to seucre the fan in place by bending the bracket 90 degrees and using on eof the light fitting screws. After all that effort it was very satisfying to bask in its cool breeze.

Yo,
We made a new friend the other night by befriending a tramp outside a pub in Geroge Street.
I got speaing to some shady old guy who was carrying a bottle of orange juice around in a plastic bag. He tried to follow us into the pub but the bouncer knocked him back cos he was a tramp. I managed to convince the bouncer he was not really a tramp and the bouncer let him into the pub.
An interesting man he was, aparently just out of jail. From this positive experience I urge all people: Befriend a tramp in the street for a night, take them to a pub and by them a drink. I'msure we could all learn a thing or two from a tramp.

The pace of life begins quickens as the money starts to come in. Regular nights out are beginning although the humrum Monday to Saturday routine of working life continues.
Targets for the month are to save up $600 to pay for a bond on a nice flat in the CBD of Sydney.
In other news JieBie pulled the other night. He pulled a fat 35 year old abboriginy woman and went back to hers. Well done JieBie!!!
I had a typical bawbag sucess, in that I fell asleep on the train home. Even tho my stop was the last on the line I slept through the 15 minutes it stays there and woke up after it had gone all the way to the other end of the line and was on its way back. The guard came and woke me up:
"Are you OK?" She asked.
"mm yeah" I replied as I started to both waken and sober up.
"Do you know where you are?"
"Hmmmm", It was dark out side when I got on the train and it seemed to be light now. Also I did not recognise the name of the station. "No, where am I?" I said.
"Well, where are you going?" said the guard.
"Bondi Junction" said I.
"Hmm, OK" she said, looking worried, "Where did you get on"
"Emmm, I can't remember" I said, probably now seeming like a total retard.
"OK, dont worry, the important thing is the train is now on its was back to Bondi Junction, so make sure you get off when it gets there.
Oh well, hopefully moving to the city centre will avoid such situations arising in the future. ;)

Yo,
I'm at my first job in Australia just now. It is selling Death Insurance on the phone. Today is the first day and it seems not too bad. I also have anther job offer for a Telesales job which involves IT. Think I'll check that out to and stick with the one which suits me best.
I'll put some pics of the flat online soon. There are lots of wee beasties in the kitchen, but they are only small and not like the big cockroaches I've been used to at some of my pastr dwellings.

Myself, Hunter and JieBie are now in Australia. On the way here we stopped off for a night out in Vienna. We found this club called U4, half of it was 50s style Rock and Roll with some real weird people in leather jackets. The other half played probably the worst music I have ever heard in a club, and I really mean that. The music was like German elevator music, it was so shit it reminded me of Katzen Klo. The DJ was some weirdo wearing a sailors hat and I asked him to play Katzen Klo. I was ofcourse very drunk and when it came on I impressed the Austrians with my most fantastic dancing whilst singing along to Katzen Klo. I was so fantastic that everyone else left the dance floor and cheered me on.
Anyhoo, we are in Oz now and Hunter and JieBie love it, I think its a bit crap tho cos its winter and gets dark very early and is and drink is more expensive than Majorca. For the first time in many year I do feel slightly home sick. Not for the UK however, for my fantastic lifestyle and friends in Magalluf. Out there the drink was cheap, the weather was hot and the girls were hotter.

Magalluf can be a noisey place in the early hours of the morning, with all the drunken holiday makers staggering about.
Last night there was more noise to be heard than the piss heads as JieBie was asleep and snoring at an earth shaking volume. Chris was in the adjacent bed trying to sleep but JieBie´s snoring was just too much! He proceeded to throw various objects at JieBie to stop him but the atempts were in vain.
The final object within arms reach that Chris laid his hand on was a can of Gillet shaving foam.
"This is rather heavy, I would´t want to hurt poor old JieBie, even though his snoring is driving me insane."
Instead of throwing the can at JieBie´s head, Chris approached the creature and inserted the canisters spout into JieBie´s left nostral. He pressed and held the button for afew seconds as the shaving foam entered and expanded inside JieBies nasal cavity.
About 5 seconds passed during which Chris felt very releaved as the snoring had stoped. Suddenly JieBie sprang to life and rushed to the bathroom.
The next sound Chris heard scared him to the very depth of his soul:
"Grraaahhiiiieeeeeeaaaahhhhhhrrrggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". It was the roar of JieBie and the town of Magalluf felt it and was afraid.

3 full days of exam revision left until they start. Revision progressing well =)
Duncan was not very impressed at me writing about him and Dimitry on a medical forum today, guess that makes up for 2 months of not coming home drunk and waking him up. After 2 years now I think that perhaps Duncan and I do not have the same sense of humour. Not sure why, just I feeling.
Important Note of the day: Fruit gums are available from the vending machine in the hub for 35p. I remember the days when they wer only 19p!!!

Yo! I am now unemployed having left my Fantastic job at Pizza Hut to revise for my final exams. Only 2 weeks and 3 days til they start. Should still have enough time to get good grade =).
Here's a couple of pics from my Pizza Hut work night out:
Yes I am Elvis!
I'm worried about having enough time to revise for exams even though I have left work. This is because I am busy growing a beard. Although I do feel that a beard will make me look more distinguished, it is not through choice. Someone has STOLEN my razor. I could buy I new one but I will not as a mark of protest! I am no longer satisfied with my current lodgings. I live with 2 teachers. Teachers and me don't mix well as I discovered when I was at school. People keep using my dishes and not washing them. As I am moving off to Majorca soon and have no need to take my dishes with me I have stopped washing them. This means other people use my dishes expecting me to wash them, but they go unwashed and will remain to do so.
I feel sorry for the poor children being taught by these teachers who cannot even conduct their home life in a social mannor.
2 Days ago I killed 15 flies in the kitchen before going to the library. This flat used to be nice to live in, but no longer. I have now cesed my home making efforts in an act of despair.
Look out for Videos on the site ASAP!
Here's a couple of pics from my Pizza Hut work night out:
Yes I am Elvis!

Grr, I still havent got half way through writing my Thesis! :( This is taking too long, worried about getting a 2.1 Honours degree but I always manage to scrape through, hopefully this time wont be the exception.
Got the cmaera back, and they fixed it for free :) Ordered some rechargable batteries and a charger today for £17. They are 2000mAh batteries and it is a fast charger so they should last well with the camera and my minidisc player.
I made a video of Duncan and Dimitry doing what they do best, looking gay. I'll put it online soon, just need to decide what compression codec to use, probably divx I think. Other video I finished is called "My Cycle Home From Uni", not the most exciting I'm afriad. Planning to shoot one soon called "My Day at Work".
I just had a conversation with Hassen "Brown Socks" Shehzad. I am trying to figure out what he is going to do after uni finishes. The conversation went like this:
monkee: get job - make money - and have a very good time
monkee: thats wot i plan
http://beakster.blogspot.com: i dont believe u
monkee: i don't care
http://beakster.blogspot.com: make a website so i can follow what u are doing
monkee: maybe
Look out for some exciting new pictures tomorrow.
Last night we went for a surprise visit to JieBie's house. SieHie answered the door but wouldn't let us in and went to get JieBie. JieBie said we couldn't come in cos his mum was "tidying up". This is a very lame excuse. Something is going on in that house, something sick and perverted and I intend to find out what.
We went to visit Ewan after we were refused entry to the Hailey Household and Ewan showed us his new flat.

The story of my landlord:
In my flat the cleaner regularly reports back to the land lord. Due to some health and safety law, nothing is allowed to be placed in the hall way. We don't have a lounge so the hall way is our comunal chillaxing area.
In the past year we have lost a fold out bed seat and Saab car seat from the hall because the land lord took them away, apparently a fire hazzard.
Last night I was walking home from uni about 11pm. On my journey I passed a couch in the street, boviously left out for the bin men. Upon my return to the flat I propsitioned my flat mate Duncan with my master plan.
"Yo, lets get a couch off the street and put it in the hall way. We can sit on it for a week or so then the land lord will chuck it out."
Duncan agreed and we collected the couch from the street. It is a 3 seater and quite heavy. After much effort we managed to get it up the stairs to our 2nd floor flat. Anna wasn't happy as she thought it would be infested with insects. I sprayed it with some lynx and now it seems quite nice.
Now I can look forward to the landlord coming and having lots of hassle to take it out of the flat and dispose of it, thinking he will be pissing us off when in fact the best thing about having the couch is knowing it will annoy him. When it is gone I won't miss it too much as we are used to living without one, but I will try and find another one on the street and bring it back to.

OiOi,
Friday was quite a sucessful night. Went to the pub at 5pm and started drinking. Introduced 80s guy to team L.
After afew drinks I went up and did some karaokee "Copacobanna":
Abit later went to the GU. I met a guy in the toilets there who was throwing up. I tried to get a picture of this but i was to slow. I asked if he could do it again. He tried by sticking his fingers down his throat but couldnt do it. :(
A bit later on I was sitting on my own. No Slack had gone for drinks and Brin has gone for women. A nice looking girl came and sat next to me and said:
"Is your name Chris?"
"Yes", I replied.
"Do you remember me? I gave you my number outside the GU a few months ago?" she said
"Hmm, No I dont remember that sorry." said I
I really don't remember this but it probably did happen. After appologising to her I suggested she give me her number again, while I was relatively sober. I sent her a message last night asking her out sometime this week. She replied saying that she probably has to work all this week but if not will let me know. So we'll see if anything happens.
Last night Duncan put his clothes in the washing machine. He then went to get the washing powder. While he was away I put a sausage in the washing powder drawer of the machine. Upon his return he was most confused by what he saw.
Although this did not spark quite the reaction I was hoping for it gave me an idea. I went to my tool box and pulled out a screwdriver and a screw. I then proceeded to screw the sausage to the front door of the flat. Once I had completed this task I named the sausage "Bert", and left him there as a warning, of what exactly I don't know. I believe this has a similar impact to the boar's head in Lord of the Flies.

Doh! I've done it again.
First of all I didnt get out of bed on Thursday until mid-day. About to leave for uni but then ended up watching neighbours. Once I actually got to the Lab at 3pm, I ended up messing about until about 9pm wasting time.
Submitted now, so I'm going to bed. Head is all messed up, going to end up like the Maxx if I don't sort it out.

Yo! Went to buy tickets for the vagina monolouges but it was sold out :(
Trying to stay in until a week on Friday now, got loads of uni stuff to do.
Had a bunch of weird dremas last night, in one of them Sven Gorran was tryin got teach me how to compose tracker modules on the Amiga, strange. In another one I was driving my pizza hut soccter in Dunoon then realised I had forgotten my helmet. Don't think these mean anything.
Going to try and do some uni work now.
Here's a pic of what Mr. T would say to me if he saw me on a night out:

Grr, went out last night, hangover not too bad. Think I should drink Jack Daniels more often, seems to have a less severe hangover for me :)
Jie Bie let me down by not going out, but on the up side, Dimitry the russian doctor (remember communism = not us) and Duncan came out. As well us No Slack, Fraz and Bovarius Jones who hasn't been on a night out with us for a long time.
Being tuesday we went to the goth night in the QM. Got quite pissed and danced about abit. I saw the girl from a couple of weeks ago there, she was wearing an interesting hat, kinda like Zorro. Saw the guy with the laugh at the end of the night. He called me a wanker. I retorted by singing "I'm a Wanker" by Roy Chubby Brown. Bovarius joined in also.
The other night Matthew (flatmate) was very ill, he also had a cut on his head. He said he was very hung over and had cut his head on a pint glass while laughing. Here's a picture to help up better understand.
Really don't have much to say today so I will finish by quoting a Ladytron song:
I know her, used to follow everywhere we'd go.
And it's so sweet, now she's sleeping with a boy I know.
The boy I know, know's a pretty girl in every town.
ANd the way they look, they were made to let each other down.

In the struggle to increase my Penile Virility I thought it would be useful to know just what it means, so I consulted dictionary.com and he said:
pe·nile ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pnl, -nl)
adj.
Of or relating to the penis.
vi·ril·i·ty ( P ) Pronunciation Key (v-rl-t)
n.
The quality or state of being virile; manly character.
Masculine vigor; potency.
Hmmmm Interesting, doesn't really help me though. Perhaps a beard would help. Actually growing a beard is number 2 on my "Things to do before I die" list.
Now it's Monday and I wish I had done some more uni work at the weekend, oh well. Harry Hill was very funny on sunday night, I especially liked the guy who bred crab sticks as his celebrity hobby which you don't know about but will in a minute.
Working again tonight, grrrrrrr, gonna really cut down my shifts soon. Not sure when my next night out will be, friday at the earliest I would expect. This is why I hate Monday, no prospect of getting pissed or pulling for 5 days.
Oh well, back to the penile virility.

It's sunday now and I have achived the state of drunkenness twice, so i feel sucessfull =)
Not done any uni work yet but planning to.
Hungover now, and was yestarday to, telling everyone I meet that i dont feel so good.
Saddly I have done nothing to increase my Penile Virility this weekend, although I did go swimming yestarday.
Pulled on Friday, a nice girl who I met last week. Was supposed to be going for a drink with her today but when I spoke to her last night as I was leaving the hive I remember her saying to me "I'm not going for a drink with you now cos I saw you trying it on with my friend and another girl next to her at the bar." I don't remember doing this but it probably did happen.
Went to a party last night, strange story. Last week went back to this flat with a goth girl and an american guy. Was drinknig whisky until 6am and was very drunk. Woke up in the morning and staggered out of the flat. Saw the american guy on Tuesday and he invited me to his party last night. So me and No Slack and even Duncan my boring flat mate who doesnt like going out went to this party. Saddly the goth girl who I met the week before wasn't there. I was speaking to another girl who was very interesting, spoke to her for about half an hour then turned out she is flat mate of the goth girl. It was then she realised she had met me before. "Oh my god, your that sleazy guy from last week! You asked for my number and my flatmates number then challenged us to an arm wrestle." I dont remember this but it probably did happen.
Also at the party I saw this guy i recognised from Tuesday. He's a friend of the guy who said he was going to kill me. I said "Hey, you know the guy with the laugh" He said "Yeah, he really doesn't like you!". Unfortunatly he didn't know why he was so angry at me so I told him to pass on my appologys for what ever I had done to wind him up so much.
I over heard this girl in the sauna the other day telling the guy she was with that "FIsh can't hold their breath". I can understand this. The guy seemed to ignore her and change the subject, terrible. If I was a girl who gave me useful informaton like that I would thank her and try and repay her with more useless knowledge like "If a shark stops swimming it will die."
Got my mobile replaced today. Dropped the last one in a pint and the buttons stopped working. Gonna try and look after this one better.
Interesting dream the other night: I was driving along a road in spain on a scooter. I saw a friend of mine standing in the road so I stopped. He was standing next to a giant cactus. The cactus smelt terrible. Not sure what this means if anything. Suggestions?
Heard my favorite word mentioned on TV last night, PLOP!

Yo! This is my first post to my new website. I set up this site so people can learn about my Fantastic Adventures!
I'm almost finished my last year of Uni (yay, had enough of computers) and I'm heading back to Majorca to work there for my second summer (pictures of last years antics at www.glasgowclubbing.co.uk). After that the plan is America then I don't know where, if I survive the summer.
Went out on Tuesday night and an Indonesian freedom fighter who is seeking asylum in this country threatened to kill me =) fun fun fun. Can't be fucked going to Pizza Hut tonight to deliver pizzas on the scooter, job is loosing its novelty. That said a big fat taxi driver came into the shop last nite and shouted at me cos I cut him of. bawbag. I got a round of applause from everyone in the shop tho, I refused to appologise to him. Thats twice this week I've been followed by people unhappy with my driving. If only everyone was a tolerant as me.
Had an exam today, should have spent loads of time preparing for it like most people (e.g. Hassen "Brown Socks" Shehzad) but just got up and hour early and read some stuff then blagged it. I'm Fantastic like that ;)
