Greetings from Sydney

So it has finally come to pass, I am no longer a member of the esteemed Canberra brethren. It's took longer than I ever thought possible to escape the clutches of the nation's capital, better late than never though.

While I am still adjusting to the sights and sounds of the big city, I did find sometime to go back and celebrate with my old comrades (Ferret and Debsie at least) on Canberra turf one last time. And celebrate we did from what I recall. Substance abuse is a wonderful thing that is every man's god given right, but I have noticed it can lead to short term memory loss. So I will fill you in with the pieces (not necessarily in chronological order) that I can remember.

Upon arrival Ferret presented me with a gift of our friendship. Apparently he knew the secret of my childhood that I was in fact an avid bird watcher. The present that fell to the floor as I ripped open the packaging was non-other than a man G-String in the shape of a Toucan. I started grabbing hastily for my gin as it dawned on me this present wasn't entirely for show.

Then apparently this happened. ...



Along with me and Ferret, I would like to introduce you to a new member of the brethren, he goes by the moniker of the Latvian. Can I suggest that if you ever go to Canberra (or even if you live there) it’s actually a lot of fun on a 24hr bender.

P.S. Did anyone else notice the distinct lack of Debsie's participation in that video?... hmmm
