Sort It Out Guys!
Firstly will you guys get the Whitsunday photo's sorted out, get them on this website and on my facebook :-) Katie is still waiting for the Whitsunday pics.
I only have few mins so I'll just say that I'm taking some risks (again) I'm going to Brisbane tomorrow but there's no money in my bank account I may have enough for the bus, my Fraser Island trip and my Visa medical but then I'll be skint again, Oh I just remembered David owes me 400 dollars so I'll survive :-)
I started drinking again on Saturday, I was very drunk and fell asleep at about 6pm whilst hugging a bottle of rum. I woke up about half an hour later and returned to the drinking I knew I'd have a terrible hangover because I started on Goon so I decided to drink more of many different kinds of drinks bourboun, rum, vodka, beer and a wee bit more goon. It was a great return to form on my drinking days and I had a good night eventually getting back to bed at 5am, Not bad for the first session in over a month(ish).
Get the pics sorted guys. Danny B
The rest
Hey Hey, I’ll clear up a thing or two from yesterday, firstly I’d like to say that the guys weren’t too different from how I remember them, David looks like P-j and Woody doesn’t drink as much or take as many risks those are the only differences.
Our Whitsunday adventure was a good laff even though we did have the worst luck with weather. We managed to have a good time by learning a few new drinking games by night and enjoying the water and reef by day.
In one (the first) of the new drinking games I managed to lose 6 out of 6 times and when I’d finally won in the 7th round I decided in my drunken state that a lap of honour was in order of course it all went wrong and I very nearly became the first person to be man-over-board on the Spank me boat. In another one of the drunken games Woody said Fu*k a duck which has become one of the great quotes of our journey thus far…. You just had to be there.
After the Whitsundays we travelled North to Townsville to get the windscreen fixed in the van which was shattered by a huge bird about 5 days before hand, there is nothing good in Townsville, it’s a bit of a hole and we were glad to be out of there asap but I did pass the time in a pointless, stupid and dangerous manner as per usual. I decided to eat a Double Pounder in MacDonald’s basicly a heart attack in a bun I ordered a regular quarter pounder and an extra 7 meat patties (It contains 450% of your recommended daily intake of fat). It wasn’t the best after a while it tasted a lot like plastic and I couldn’t of finished it if I’d made it into a meal like the staff member offered.
Onwards!!! Nooooo back in Cairns again. (Getting bored of writing again) Visited Cape Trib again, went back to Cairns again, spent 2 weeks doing nothing and saving money, Woody didn’t jump off of the roof 53 meters up very disappointing.
Now I’m on my own again in a very small town called Ayr I’m picking Zucchinis which if you don’t know is the German and Australian name for Courgettes. To put it simply Ayr and Zucchini picking is the closest thing to hell on earth, my back is killing me, I have sunburn, I look like I’m into self harming because my wrists have been slashed by the thorns on these plants. Ayr is a very weird town, I’ve asked a few people what I can do for fun in the afternoon/evening and the best answer I’ve received is to go to Coles (the supermarket). They’ve not even discovered pavements, there were no people on the streets at any time on Sunday when I arrived, it’s a ghost town I thought but since then I’ve discovered people do live here, Abos have houses here :S every man and his dog has a dog around here and often you see dogs taking other dogs for walks :S they don’t use leads because they speak the same language (dog). And weirdest of all is the Pompei snow as I’ve decided it should be called. There's always soot falling from the sky randomly probably the reason why my ahstma is crap all of the time now.
Random thoughts of the day: Why are american sitcoms so crap (mostly). Why, why oh why did they never finish off red dwarf that was a class show. And finally I saw a sign saying 'Tired Drivers Die!' and I thought thats a bit harsh. The next sign said 'Free Tea and Cake For Drivers!' well well, I sence a trap because I recon some tired drivers may fall for that then of course they'd be taken out BANG! dead tired driver. Bye bye Danny B

Half A Story? Well.... Half of Something
Hey hey everybody, I'm bored so I thought I'd say hi my last attempt at saving myself from boredom was to buy 4 bananas and see how long it takes me to have an allergic reaction this was a silly idea because bananas are rather expensive in Australia. Anyway recently I decided to have a holiday and just do bugger all untill I could play in the Queensland rugby final, durin this time I managed to spend nearly all of the money I'd saved oh well durin the semi-final time of the rugby thingy I set off on a wonderfull journey of bliss and happy, happy times on a bus for 13 hours! oh I thought the good times would never end awww I miss that bus. I did eventually get to Arlie beach where I'd arranged to meet up with some good friends so it was worth getting off the bus. After a few days frolicing and having a good time with my freinds I met up with David, Woody and P-j oh how dissapointing. They'd all become so dull and their personallitys had become something similar to that of a lime jelly. As we were going sailing and diving I decided to get a doctors note saying that I was healthy enough to dive even though I have ahstma, so I lied a few times to a doctor and still was passed as unfit. So I had to resort to plan B if I wanted to go scuba diving.... lie to the people whome I was trusting to keep me alive.
We all got on the same boat luckily as I got the last place avalible our boat was called "Spank me" there are too many jokes available there so I'll let you think of them yourself. Only got 12 mins left so so I'll make the rest really short and shity then improve it later (maybe even get rid of speeling mistakes... maybe) Our whitsunday adventure was windy, rainy, and very drunken... for me at least. The scenery under the water was stunning I'd never seen anything quite as beautiful anywhere else the other guys have the photos that do it no justice hopefully they'll do a better blog and post the pics. I'll quicly sum up what else happened P-j got seasick which ruined his his life long dream of becoming a pirate G'yah! and Woody said "Fu#k a duck". Thats all for now.
Bye Bye. Danny B
Well Rolled Socks
We're not dead! just in parts of the country that dont have signal! we three brave soles have finally left brisbane, well we tried but ended back there straight away!
basically we acquired a wicked camper van, this time opting to rent it instead of buying another heap of crud! unfortunatley we didnt get to choose our van and ended up with a van named 'QANTAS'! so we go to inspect the van and down one side is written 'qantas' which is ok, then we get round to the other side and in big black letters is written 'QUEERS' i mean wot the f*ck is that all about! i asked the aussie guy that worked there 'wots the queers all about' and his lame reply was 'you know, qantas, get it!'!! no i dont friggin get it, well woode is now the sole driver as it says it on the drivers side haha any way the van is kool apart from that wierd graffitti!
we tryed to leave brisvegas on thurs 26th july, but our plans changed wen LJ 'theres hell to pay' Loftus refused to let us go, so we kidknapped her and took her too nimbin! where i graduated from university and i have the t-shirt to prove it!! after that one night we dropped the now chronically depressed LJ back in brisbane (in which i found time to visit a florist and purchase a single long stemmed rose that i placed on kathryn's pillow for her when she arrived back from work) - 90552568
Next stop was Hervey Bay! we arrived there at 2030, just intime to check in at the hostel which was owned by the Palace Backpackers in Brisbane - so they knew i was a big deal! We all recieved two nights free accomodation and a free Fraser Island trip for the weekend! how awesome is that! so we went up to our room which had a balcony watched a film then went to sleep ready to get up at 6AM!
For the rest of the Fraser Island trip read another blog i will do later as im bored!
Since then we drove up to Bundaburg, where they make the internationally reknowned rum - Bundaberg Rum, not heard of it, neither had i til australia and they love it! taste like shit mind but then aussie like alot
What do you say to a man with 2 black eyes?
First of all I'd just like to express some concernes over the where abouts of a couple of Davids and a P-j. They've all had their phones off for the last 4 days or so. If you've not heard from them and aren't worried I suggest you watch 'Gone' 'Wolf Creek' 'Texas chainsaw massacre' or 'Hostel' for examples of what happens to unsuspecting tavellers.... I'm sure they're ok tho. You'd have to be a pretty weird psycho to want to mess with Woode.
Ok on to my life, since I got fired from the Woolshed I've accidently managed to get drunk every night. It was never my intention to become a bit of a pisshead but things dont always go according to plan do they? Looks like I'm going to leave Cairns for a few weeks (about bloody time) but I'm not going far I've worked hard to not be a fat bastard and get in shape so that the Wanderers could make it to the grand finals in this years rugby (first time in 18 years) so I'll just be waiting about for a bit near by doing some work helping towards my visa extention.
I knocked a guy out! 21 years old and thats the first time I've done it... It was completly accidental we hit each other at top speed playing rugby I saved a try, knocked the guy out and split his head open he had to have a few stitches but then again I should of had sticthes aswell but I'd rather get back on the field as quick as possible and then get out on the piss as soon as the match finished.
Heaps of new photos I'll add them to somewhere and then sort them out some other time so lazy. Danny B
Photo's from P-J
Having told P-J off for putting all his photo's on Facebook I was given the task of copying them across so you can all see them - so here they are - ENJOY

Perception: Is your glass half full?
Warning, Warning: Boring blog! from top to bottom
OK, Walsh's Pyramid took more out of me than I originally thought, well it should of done after all I had a hangover and barely any sleep...From that day on I made an effort to get more rest but even the best laid plans sometimes hit a bit of a problem or two, my first problem lay in the fact that I play rugby for Cairns and even though My muscles were burning on thursday night I made my way to training and had to prove that I can still play after some poor proformances on the field. The next problem is that on my nights off I'm a big fan of drinking and I'm always a big fan of boobs so when I was invited to the opening of a new strip club I had to cancel my plans of sleeping and replace them with new plans of drinking and slipping money into thongs. Turns out that the guys who set up the strip club didn't think too much about what is necessary for the upkeep and reputation of a strip club they had all the staff they needed waitresses, bar maids, bouncers and ermmm oh yea they forgot the strippers! this could of been dissapointing but my glass is not half empty.... I volentered to do some pole dancing, of course that was the logical thing to do. I wasn't alowedto do it but my friend from work the lovely Liz from England was aloud so I did see some action. In the end I got drunk and had a good night anyway (even got lost on the way home, dificult considering I live on the same street as the club I ended the night at).
That was Thursday, on Friday I woke a few hours after I got home and had no hangover! I spent the whole day reading and sun tanning (sorry to piss off anyone who lives either in England or Brisbane where they wont be seeing the sun for a while), then I went to work till 6am. Saturday I had a few hours sleep then got up to play rugby. I finally got back some form using the magic that is infused in caffine I forgot to get any breaky but got a few weat-bix on the way and ate them with V invigoration drinks, I think I have more potential on the pitch but I managed to get man of the match, sent off and upset an old injury when I winded myself crushing my ribs a bit. (I'm boring myself anybody leave a message to say that you've read this far, its all my mums fault apparently I dont update often enough).
I dont remember Sunday but I did work for 12 hours.... I dont remeber it though.
Monday I booked off work a while ago to celebrate one of my mates leaving party. I woke up at about 5pm and was still feeling the effects of the previous week but even with tonsillitis and flu like symptoms I had to get out this night, I started off slowly in one of the only bars that dont offer me half price drinks I had a few waters inbetween my vodkas but as I got more marinated I got less sick and by 5am I was doing quite well but it was time for home because it was the staff day out in 4 hours.
Tuesday I woke up at 7:30am and got a full english breaky for a decent cafe in town when I returned home I looked in the fridge for something to steal that may of made me feel better after my hangover, I decided to pinch some pineapple juice I drank 3 big gulps before I realised "hey this isn't pineapple juice...hmm what is it errrgh, its not very good... oh I'm going to be sick" It was used cooking oil honestly who'd put it in a pineapple juice bottle in the fridge! Ok I learnt my lesson dont steal!
The staff day was awsome even though I was feeling hungover, tierd, fluy, tonsillitis and sick from cooking oil. We went paintballing in the jungle and I was pretty good I'm turning into a bit of a sharp shooter and I got all the best long shots. It was a good day and a beautiful place to cause some havoc we finished at about 3:30pm and everyone was quite knackered especially me (being a sick boy from too much work and not enough sleep). But when I got home I went to rugby practice and then to work I was s'posed to work from 20:30 - 04:00 but I fell asleep at 2am. and continued working at 3:30am which was ok with my boss who knew I was sick and actually told me I could go home at about 1am.
Wednessday I slept all day and was 50 mins late for work when I rocked up. oh well no worries they know I'm ill its the best I can do to just get to work.
Thursday I couldn't sleep In the morning it was midday before I fell to sleep I was s'posed to be at rugby at 5:30pm and at work at 8:30pm I knew I wouldn't be any good for rugby so I set my alarm for 6:30 I had a really bad sleep between 12-3 with coughing and spluttering and other flu like symptoms. but then I got some real sleep after 3 which was nice.... too nice I slept through my alarm and was woken by a call from work "Hey Daniel are you s'posed to be at work today? ---- erm... yea but not till 8:30 ---- Do you know what the time is? ---- Its got to be about 6 right? otherwise I'd be up my alarm is set for 6:30 ---- No it's 10 past 9 ---- Oh bugger I'm on my way."
Anyway I got the sack this morning, this is bad for quite a number of reasons, I'm not aloud back in the most popular bar in Cairns, I'd made so many friends in there, I don't get half price drinks in the other bars around town, oh and there's also that money thing that I was getting every week.
Sounds quite bad but my glass is not half empty. I'm going to try to be alowed back in probably by having a massive argument with the guy who owns the pub (he loves nothing more than to have a big shouting competition) ermmm. second thought I might just ask him nicely. I have the numbers for all of the guys I've met in there. I guess I'll have to pay full price at the other bars if they ever find out I've been sacked heh heh heh. And the wage thingy.... Its now 6:06am I was saked at 4:35am and I already have a new job, I'll be starting on monday as a bobcat opperator. All I do is sit in a digger all day and dig holes. How easy my green card will be sorted out for free and I'll have about the same amount of money ecept I'll be working far more social hours. Thankyou and good night!
Detailed enough mum? Danny B such a boring blog!

Lady and the Tramp
Now then, Now then its been a while i know, but when nothing happens of great significnce (other than you Kathryn) why would i want to bore you to death with crap! right i will rattle off what we have done n what we have got planned then i will tell ya about the other half!
The sports - well our dav retty much covered that so there not much to say, the aussie peeps claim to love their sports but ive never been to ground with as little atmosphere as the rfl n afl, unbelievable lincoln united caused more of a stir than these guys! too buy drinkin beer n eatin pies no wonder they are all fat!
The Jobs - the work is goin ok, cleaning is a blur as i not really awake during it. Glassy work is gd, wasnt gettin many hours recently which sux but hopefully gonna get a few more before i leave.
The Hostel life - is good, im kinda eating alot better since being givn licence to cook in the bar staff room, tho i did burn plastic twice on the cooker, but we'r ll intitled to some mistakes! my room has been taken over by french people which totally sux as thy speak french to each ohter and trust me it aint tht much of a romantic lanuage!
Leving - i have decided to leave on the 26th of this very month takin david and james with me in a hippie van, plannin on goin to Frasier Island for a weekend, then the following weekend in Whit Sundays sailing and diving :D then upto cairns to meet our mutual friend and all round good guy Daniel Barloga, finally giving him his birthday gift! he better have mine ready! then to Kakadu Park to Alice springs and Uluru (ayres Rock) before droping the an off in sydney and going to melbourne to hopefully settle til summer so its hot again while we travel some more!!
Kathryn Smith (05/05/1985) - I met Kathryn by accident on Tues 5th of june, i waqs originally going to see someone else in our luggage room but met Kathryn and spent the rest of the afternoon talking and messing around with wigs n stuff! later that night i made her meet me in my room, but unfortunately she was at the library and it was chucking it down so by the time she got to my room she was soaked so being a curtious man i wrapped her in my towel and hugged her to warm up - aparently this is when she fell for me!! well it took a week after this until we offically became a couple and we've been great since, spending most of our time together in the Luggage room that we met in - the other time i am in constant custody battle for her with Nichole her wife! But being a smart person i let Nichole have her when she wants as it not good Karma to have a lass mad with ya!
well tht is about it for now
will update more frequently from now on
Loving ya all
P-J
I....erm...I'm Alive
To all those who still check to see if us boys can be bothered to write anything thank you for your patients. Basically Danny hit the nail on the head with his comments on how nothing interesting is really happening at the moment due to us all having work - even Woode. I would love to say over the last few weeks (months) that we've been doing this and that but it's not the case. Don't fear as we are all enjoying ourselves uncontrollably, just it's not all that interesting to you guys over there - except the die hards that wish the Big Brother camara crew followed us around 24/7 (hi mum x)
But it's not all day to day highlights - we have got out the hostel and done a couple of things!! (hope everyone's managed to stay seated there). P-J and i had a Sporting week a week ago. Our first stop was Suncorp Stadium on a cold rainy monday night, the event Brisbane Broncos vs some piss poor footy (rugby) opponent. We went with a few guys and gals from work - we joined the huge queue to get tickets. By the time we bought our tickets and got to our seats the first half had finished! And we still paid full price. The game itself was ok as rugby goes but i was rather disapointed with the fans as at the start of the second half we actually thought someone had died it was so quiet. The biggest (only) cheer was when a fight broke out
The following saturday we strolled down to the Gabba to have a ponder at the GAYFL (AFL). Now we didn't know what was happening at all and P-J slept throught the first quarter (30 mins) but my gosh after 1hr and 50mins of near boredom we found out the fasination with the sport - thats right the LAST 10 minutes were actually exciting with Brisbane coming from 40 points down to level the game at 105-2105 with 2 mins remaining - turns out the ref was biased and gave a really stupid decision which cost the Lions the game in the last 20 seconds. GUTTED but if you se footage look for me, P-J and Euan in the crowd doin "EASY EASY" chants
Last but not least we went to a FOOTBALL game. A pre-season friendly between QLD Roar and Sundown United (South Africa) to promote anti-racism in football fell on Euan's last sunday, so we organised a lads day at the pub and footy before going out drinking. Only P-J and I went to the game as those usless people can't life without 12 hours sleep (which annoys certain people who rarely get more than 6 (normally 3hrs is a good nights sleep)) Anyway we went and it turned out to be a pretty good game with QLD winning 4-1 and Danny Tiatto missing out on the "Best and Fairest" award after a crunching tackle which left the other guy on a stretcher. The atmosphere was probably the best out of the three (not that i'm biased) and 11,508 people turned out for the game.
There the three sports we went to watch. Thankfully we are leaving brisbane in a few weeks and will have far more stories to tell everyone. So keep a look out as we try to start updating a bit more regularly
David
Anybody There?
Well its been a few weeks since I last bloged and still nobody else has blogedthat must mean that like me they have run out of things to do becideds work and get drunk. I thought for the last 2 months that I'd done all that could be done in cairns at this moment in time and without spending my lovely moneys but last week I discovered that the worlds largest natural pyramid was literally in my back yard (just 30 mins away) Worlds largest pyramid.... SOunds like a challenge to me! So within a week we'd got a group of 9 willing hikers and set off for hopefuly some good views rather than what happened last time I climbed a mountian (when I was rewarded with a lovely view of a cloud).
It was a beautifull winters day in Cairns and we set off late because too many guys were too lazy and stayed up too late the night before. I overcame this problem by not sleeping and drinking all night, so I was ready at 9am..... We eventually set off at midday it was about 30 degrees and the Queensland sun was showing some strengh. I knew it may be tough today but I have a habit of underestimating these things I presumed that I would dehydrate having been on the piss the night before and not sleeping so I took a few smirnoff ice's and intellegently (is that a word?) a few bottles of water.
I decided to puke before we started so that no1 could call me soft for puking once we started the climb. So with no sleep, no food for 1 and a half days and now even less food We set off WOOO! I set the early pace having decided that it was a race I took a wrong turn for about 20 seconds and lost the lead to the German "buzz" named after buzz lightyear because they are actually the same person. I didn't see him again until I reached the top 40 mins after him. The rest of the journey was actually very uneventfull there was no wildlife just a nagging voice in my head asking if we were nearly there yet?
The view was worth it in the end but I had to run back down to get to work on time for my 12 hour shift which was really fun because I took way too many starburst and caffine pills which gave me super human reactions and speed. So I'll do that again and maybe I'll get hooked and have to move on to stronger stuff like.... erm... skittles and haribo.
Danny B New picks in Cairns days out...hopefully
