The Two Daves So Far
Well we've yet to kill each other so we must be doing something right.....or not in some peoples view.
Right then as you know we both came down to Melbourne to watch the Grand Prix, me because I love my fast cars and David so he can say he’s been to one even though he doesn’t like it. First off the noise they make is incredible watching it on the T.V. doesn’t do them any justices what so ever, made speaking to each other damn near impossible but through dodgy sign language we managed to get the jist of what we each wanted. Second we had no idea what the hell was going on, cars go zooming past (which makes taking pictures of them stupidly difficult) you can’t tell whose where, whose dropped out and we missed both crashes - there might have been more but like I said it’s hard to tell.
The good thing about getting the General Admission ticket was we could walk around the track during the race, couldn’t get anywhere near the 1st turn without paying a stupid amount of money but we settled for watching the start on one of the many large TVs around the track.
The day was awesome I’ll give it that, maybe would have topped it off if we got to see Mr Coulthard go airborne, but we did see that many a time on the replays. Actually going on the track at the end was a beautiful thing, took ages to walk round but to get to walk down the starting grids and see the pits was worth every second.
We’ve hit Melbourne at the right time, there’s just so much going on - it’s just insane. The Fina World Championship is currently on, but like most people we’re not interested in swimming, only 8000 people turned up to see 3 people break some records, bearing in mind this place can hold 200,000 people, they tried cheering but I‘m sure it was one of those ‘the glass is half empty‘ situations.
We’ve been to quite a few festivals, I would tell you names but I’m useless with stuff like that and David is currently working out of town so I can’t ask him.
This must be my longest blog to date and I hate it, my memory is useless (I’ll have to thank my parents for these useless genes) I’m sure I’ve missed quite a bit but I’ll get David to fill in the blanks, he is, after all, the master blogger.
Keep on Truckin’
Mr. Dave aka Goodie, Woody and what ever else I get called behind my back
P.S. I apologize for the lack of wit and dry humor that you’ve come to get used to from my previous two blogs, I’ll try harder next time.

Update on the two Dave's
Hi all - can confirm that both are still alive and kicking. Not sure what Goode is up to but David is currently on a road trip somewhere in Victoria countryside with work. He has got his mobile phone number working again so you can contact him on that instead of via Goode. Goode says he is well and will be in touch with Danny & P-J soon.
Love to all, Jacqui xx
Hello? Is There Anybody There?
Has anyone heard from the 2 Daves? If so could you leave a message, I'm starting to think that they may be dead and Ignorantly decided not to blog about it. Help me out here I may worry about them soon.
I've had a fairly mundane weekend this time round, I went sobber for two nights in a row again after spending all my money trying to drink one of every drink in the bar on friday and getting really good at pool. So... what to do with no money??? I can come up with stupid things all the time, no worries heh heh heh. The first thing that I decided to dowas pretty borring I set off straight after work and tryed to hunt down one of the 6 foot killer chickens that live here, 3 weeks in their habbitat and I've still not seen one, most day trippers that I talk to have seen at least 1 just on their way up here. Its not fair! Anywho I continued on my trails all the way to my fave fresh water creek (8k's up hill) where I met up with alot of people who work at PK's, so I spent a few hours there and stole some drinks from the eski which leads to more stupidity and huge attempts at double backflips! I recon I could of done it.... if I didn't slip as it turns out I managed a single flip and a quarter from about 4 meters up. My ribs still hurt now! When I returned I basically just went to sleep and rejuvinated for more stupid ideas the next day.
As I said it was a quiet weekend, I cant remember doing anything on sunday, I think I did 6 hours work, went to sleep, awoke and re-created PK's limbo night which everyone else had forgoten about and I found out about by accident when looking at pics of the past. I was the best male even though my back spasmed on my last height I managed in the spot where I landed from the backflip. Oh I have had some giggles even tho i've been sober but mostly I prefer the way a night goes with alcohol. T-total for an entire week now unless I get paid day by day with my new employer who will pay m,e 2 dollars more an hour just cos I can dig a good trench. My new job will be painter and decorator for a few days at least. I'm learning so much, maybe i'll end up being a handy man?
Sorry It was a boring blog just wanted to ask if anyone had seen the 2 daves really. Peace out Danny B

Too Hot For TV (and internet)
First of all I dont have a lot of news since I last bloged I have been reluctant to blog as I dont want mother to worry her worries all over me, but as P-j has asked to hear how the rest of us are doing I guess I should give a drunken blog again.
I went sober for 2 nights in a row! wow! and I have the imortal words to say of never again! I have to drink more than this! I cannot physically/mentally cope without alcohol, I de-tox every morning then re-tox every night its all good, it turns out I only have a little more confidence than I did have a couple of weeks ago and the rest is all through the help of alcohol. I can engage in conversations much easier that way.
Anyway I have since seen the error of my ways and jumped back off that old waggon and started running in the opposite direction which is the best opption because I have more fun when i'm drunk and do better in my mission of leaving as many women wanting me but not getting any! revenge for all those times I wanted a girl in my teens and they just got free drinks out of me, turns out i'm quite hot now and the girls will buy me the drinks and I can go home with out them.
This is one of the parts I didn't want my mother to hear cos i've been worring her too much... I almost lost an eye! lol maybe I should start to take more care but then again I do have 2 eyes so I do have a spare one if I lose the first one its not a good story tho, i'd just finished work and when I was putting the tools away a sharp handle smacked backwards into my face and gave me a heafty cut to the side of my nose about 3mm right of my left eye half a centimeter to the left and i'd be in hospital with no worries of ever having double vision again. Sorry mum I will take more car from now on I prob have 3 scars from the last 3 weeks but I dont think this one will be too bad and the dive in Kakadu head injusry is barely noticable so I will need a few more before I leave I think 5 new scars will be enough for me to have some good stories.
TOO HOT FOR INTERNET: If hollyoaks is that boring I have news with my secret admirer and its quite funny, mum and dad are not aloud to know the info so if anyone else wants to know just email me.
I cant belive that you went and bought a TV P-j if thats the life you wanted you should of stayed at home there is no tv, radio or phone signal within 50k's of where I am and its the best kind of life, altho I will miss the Man utd game on my birthday. Hey, I've apparently got an Australian accent now is that a good thing or bad thing? Anyway i'm out of beer and the bar is all the way over there <------- its beer o'clock.
We're all slaves to money then we die! i've escaped that lifestyle for at least 20 more days and i'd love to stay here but I must move on after my birthday and see if there is even more to life, don't send me anything for my birthday I have no address and no need for any physical belongings all I need is my didg, friends and family. I've not tried yet but I dont think the locals would care if I didn't bother with clothes. Danny B x

TV for my Bunghole
hello all, i hope while you are reading this you are well! for the first time ive blogged i actually dont know what to put but i'm sure it will come to me soon.....................................hmmmmm ok lets go, since i last blogged i have done pretty much Work n Work some more so not much time for anything else. I was allowe to move back into my room with the bed bugs supposidly gone, but this was not the case unfortunatly so yesterday i spent the afternoon hoovering and spraying everything in our room since the cleaners cant some how killll the blighters we figured we would give it a go! well needless to say no sign of the critters as of yet but it is early days, tho the spray did have a side effect as i had to work tht night with my eyes burning, it was wierd! other than that me and Clair (my london roommate) went on a hunt on monday for a cheap tv! we searched through some charity shops and some pawnbrokers and couldnt find a decent one for less than $50 which was too much for us to consider, but as we were walking home we remebered one shop we missed out so we went back just incase, and there sat on the side was a 17" tv with remote for $15 (about 6 pound) so we queried why it was so cheap and the guy said the screen was crooked - how wrong is he the screen is fine and we get 4 channels :D now all we need is a dvd player and i'm happy! I can get some chocolate and some icecream and live my old life infront of the tv again :D
I have been to the cinema aswell to watch Wild Hogs it is a good film and alot funnier than i thort it wud be, i went with a bunch of irish peeps my other roommate has introduced to me n now they want me to come out with them evrynit but i'm usually working so they come to downunder and they get v drunk, typical irish! I also hang out with a South Korean guy, tho i dont kno his name yet, and he has a playstaion 2 with Pro Evo 6 so that is another pastime that i am enjoying :D
i think that is pretty much my week not alot but i tryin not to spend any money which is why i eat evryday at the downunder bar for free food and i get free beer aswell, infact i ordered a pint the other day and got a Jug which was great but i had 30mins to drink it in so i just had to suffer and down it! i had the night off work but i am now covering one of the guys shift, and apprently it is Transvestite night so i have to dress up as a gal, will try n get pics for ya, and i know Danny will be very jealous as he always wants to wear womens clothes!!!
tht is about it from me for now, hopefully the others will fill ya in on what they are doin, i kno i look forward to hearing from them agen!

I am Invincible
Hey mum I have some good news you never have to worry about my health and well being again!
I decided today that I am invicible, all my wounds and fatigue that i've accumilated over the last 3 weeks have miraculously healed them selves the wound on my finger was bad I think I could see bone and its really expected to get infected in the tropics but its already healed my feet are fine and my head barly has a scar, so this means only one thing I can take more risks, drink more beer and do more stupid things :-) further evidence to the fact that i'm suddenly invincible is that I worked 9 hours today it was a hot day and I didn't even sweat, didn't need to drink (much) and i'm still fully hydrated.
Life is simple when your simple. I'm simple and invincible so lifes going to be a strole in the park for me!
Oh someone wanted to know about my secret admirer, It was the girl I was hoping it was so I asked her out on a dinner date, we have been on said date I ate Croc, Kangaroo and Emu for my starter we enjoyed 2 bottles of wine and I actually managed to be good company for the whole time. I paid the way then she buggerd off! didn't even say bye, how rude! In the moro she appoligised made up an excuse about a friend being upset or something, but I must of done alright cos i've not paid for a beer when she's been on the bar since. Anyway she's out of town for a few days so I'm looking for some other girls at the salsa and any other ways I can manage it!

Come One, Come All to the GREATEST Blog on Earth (Self-Proclaimed Obviously)
Hello everybody, (in ure heads you say'"hello Dr Nick" - simpsons mania wooooh) i hope all is well and that you all miss us greatly, why wouldnt you? I have to tell you that i wrote a blog on thursday, and boy did i write a blog it was HUGE, GIGANTIC even, i'm talking Jordan's Tits big!! but alas as i clicked to submit it to the website the computer i was on lost internet connection so you will neva see it unfortunatly! But i have news, and not ya usual Lincolnshire Echo page 14, little box in the right hand corner news, i'm talking Big news, bigger than who one Big Brother as that is just old and crap now - please lord do not let them reek havoc on our television sets any longer with such crap, just give Eastenders better storylines or better yet have live executions of disgusting criminals that do perverted things to defensless humans and animals! Getting back to what i was saying i have news, and it is good news and it is bad news - I HAVE ANOTHER JOB - AND IT PAYS :D o wot joyous news you say, well you are right as now i can save up money and actually start eating again - no more asian diet :D
Right let me tell you of my job, i work at the Down Under Bar (previously mentioned in a previous blog) which is directly under the hostel i am staying at! I am a GLASSY which means i go around and collect glasses, easy peasy as i would say 15yrs ago, and it is, on top of that i have to change barrels (whoosh memories come fl;ooding back o good times) and clean the glasses and just do general cleaning! How i got the job is a gd short story, here goes - "after applying for jobs all over the place from office work to sales to making jewelry (which i didnt get as i had no Jewlery making Experience - but who the Fuck does seriously) i had strted to give up faith in the employment system in Brisbane! Well it was my day off, and after sleeping in, i had gone out and about job searching yet again with fruitless luck. When i returned i went to put my clothes in the wash ready for the week ahead, as i headed down to reception to get some change the PA blared out to all to hear "job available in down under as glassy if interested see Jeremy in the Job Club" well i was interested and after getting my change went straight to see Jeremy who inturn got the guy who wanted the staff, who was one of my bosses neway, and the rest is history - i started that same night (wednesday) but first i had to buy some trainers and socks for the job (i'm so used to wearing thongs i had none of these items) and started work at 2100 (getting the job at 1500) it was CRAZY i mean it was so packed people were dancing like Penguins, just up and down up and down,there is a reason for it being packed WET T-SHIRT COMP (guys need i say more and gals for a chance to win $200 ya wud do it) i will leave out what happened during the contest as it not for all eyes to read!! We close at 0300 normally but they decided to stay open til 0400 as it was soooo busy! In the end we finished at 0500 and i headed for bed as i had work at 11am!
Well i worked again last night (after spending 1 hour in the bar earlier after finishing cleaning and my manager brought a jug of beer for myself and who am i to refuse) aswell from 2100 - 0500 and it was completley the opposite to the previous night, it was so Kieron (Dyer) that staff were sent home, but needing the money i said i would stay and let the other Glassy go home, i am such a decent guy how am i still single, God Knows haha! i did manage to have loads of fun tho even if the night dragged as much as Steve's belly on the floor when he walks (hahaha just cant stop Burning ya Steve sorry - love ya) and i met aload of English people that bought me a shot to have with them while i worked, English people are the BEST! When we were finished and after helping the manager lock up i headed for bed as unfortunatly i had to get up at 0730 for my other job as Gopher! So after 2hours sleep and 13hrs work i am here writing this some how still awake, tho i may take a nap when i get back! A benefit from this new job is i get free 5 meals a week which means i can stop living like an asian man and eat real food! though i love noodles so i will prob have them on the other days!
Apart from all that wonderful news i have nothing to report other than 5 mins after getting this job i got a phone call and i have a job interview on Monday morning for a full time job, doing what i cannot say as the job description doesnt actually say! but wish me luck for that, tho three jobs mite kill me i will give it ago (all beacuse the people that obviously love me the most are visiting one after another and i want to show them a good time!)
So heres to those guys, they know who they are, i dedicate myself to running myself into the ground to earn asmuch money as possible so that we can have fun!
Love you all as always,
P-J

Blood, Sweat and Beers
This morning I awoke at 5:30 to go for a walk up a little hill that they call a mountian 'Mount Sorrow', we reached the foot of the hill by 7am and set off on our trails within 5 minuets I walked face first into a spider web containing a big mother golden orb spider which made me scream like a girl (do a google image search and you'll see why I was a bit scared). Un-deterd we carried on our merry way after an hour of hard walking we presumed we nust be close to out destination when we got a bit of a thunderstorm which is so annoying cos we've had so much good weather for so long and i've only seen rain in the rainforest of cape trib once before.
Turns out I should of had more respect for this hill which I now call mountian after the rain came down it was difficult to keep our footing and leaches started sucking all my blood I'm not kidding i was walking for 3-4 hours with at least 50 leaches on each foot at any one timewe reached the lookout point at 11am thats 4 hours climbing a hill and it would of been such a good view but we were right in a cloud!!!! ahhh!!!! so I got 1 pic of the cloud and 2 pics pf my bloody leach infested feet feeling robbed we imediatly went back and I fell down the steepest patch of the mountian and grabed the fist thing available which was a 'wait-a-while vine' which is called that cos if it catches your skin or clothes you have to wait a while and go back otherwise you tear the clothes or skin on their spiky vines, I was starting to feel a bit faint and didn't think i'd ever see another human again and would die of blood loss but I caried on and by 1:30pm I was on a road again and out of that god forsaken place. By 2 o'clock i'd had lunch and was starting work and I nearly choped my finger off with a sledge hammer :-S its ok now just more blood loss and a deep wound that should heal by tomorrow as i'm healthy and have invincible mans hands now.
I've worked 44 hours this week (digging big holes and carrying big rocks) but i've still managed to fit in a lot of other stuff i've been drunk every night and up at 6:55 every morning, i'm having a break from the beer as you may be able to tell by my grammer and spelling (prob not cos its usually pretty shite) I am actually drunk now but my beer was free and i've only had half a pint (i've lost alot of blood in fact I should be in hospital). I'm going to go to bed as soon as I finish here and I may have the day off work tomorrow all depends on how my finger feels.
Still loving every minute Danny B ;-)

Please Evacute
"Please Evacute the Building at the nearest exit, Please Evacute the Building at the nearest exit" is not what you want to wake up to at 5am in the morning, but low and behold it was those exact words that awoke me from my slumber! So half asleep i rose from my bed and got dressed (no point dieing naked is there) and wondered whether i should take any of my stuff, but lessons taught from NK was to leave everything, so i did. I woke my roomate up, who for some reason had not heard the warning blaring out over the pa system, and when she was ready we went to leave the building. We went down the Emerency Exit (which i have wanted to do since i started working here) i found it weird that other poeple were going down the normal stairs since they walk past the emergency exit on the way to them, dang foreigners! When we got outside i ws suprised to see that the firer truck was already here since in britain they take about 2 hrs to show up, unless its a cat stuck in the tree and they are there straight away! While we were stood waiting i noticed several people with their backpacks on and bemoaned my self for not picking mine up with a couple of essentials (psp and mobile) after about 5 minutes they let us back in, i wondered what had gone on but figured i could find out in the morning, now was time to sleep! In the morning i got a knock on the door, it was one of the gals from the reception checking who was staying in my room (glad i had just put some shorts on as tht may have been embarassing - or not hmmm) i asked her what went on last night and she told me that one of the fire alarm watsits was smashed and that it was a false alarm, (i remeber them at nk - gd for getting out of lessons, bad to wake upto) and she sed she was also looking for someone with cuts on their hands or elbows for any clues, after checking mine, she checked my roomates stuff as i didnt hav a clue what her name was (Anashikov Tagshiklsumit or other, all sounds like gobbldegook to me) so i asked her who she was going to put in the other 2 beds and pleaded that they be English/Irish/Aussie/NZ/American/Canadian or basically aslong as they spoke engliash as their first language! She said she will try n find some big hunky gay guys to put there, but to be honest they could be Big Fat Gay Brothers from Boston, Lincolnshire (British Incest Town of the Year 2004,2005,2006 and favourites for 2007) as long as they spoke english, or Polak as the Bostonians tend to do!
Apart from that i have bought myself a Kettle from Cash Converters so i can get back to my ASIAN diet (noodles noodles and more freakin noodles) and also a AC MILAN away shirt from the Salvo for $3 (1.20 in real money) which is a rite bar-gain if i dont say so myself!
Well thats tht for now, miss ya
Lov P-J
