  1. Hey you Aussie guys forgot the most important Xmas item of all...BEER, BEER and more BEER!!

    Have a Merry Xmas!..p.s dont know if you guys have heard over there in J land, but all Aussies have been advised to get the hell outta Bali before Xmas...government expecting major terrorism activity against Aussies in Bali! So much for World peace!

  2. I was a Tooheys old man , but have swung towards Boags premiumn..very tasty..since working in this hole Adelaide.. Coopers special brew..the aged shit..They do know how to brew beer here!

    In japan..love those 600ml sapporo draughts chilled in the snow..

    But like all good Aussies..any bl**dy beer as long as it's cold and someone else bought it for ya!

     

    Stuck in a heatwave..best beer drinking weather!Crack us a cold one mate!! Cheers big ears!!

  3. yeah been a bit...my brothers right into it..when I came to Adelaide from Byron for work, he took me..ooh shit no lifts..every orifice full of sand..was getting sand outta me ears for days..what fun! but been a lot with him now..some real big dunes down the coorong..he builds the boards himself..the more you do it the more fun..but the hike back up is a bitch!But it is fun and good practice for the real thing!!

  4. Hey Yuki, get hold of some Arnica cream ( homeopathic ointment) it heals like nothing else..First 2 nights rub it on where it's sore..plent of it ..and then wrap the area (yourself) with cling wrap..go to sleep and take off in morning ...do it for 2 nights and then just rub ointment in 3 times a day..it will make the injury heal much faster...I dont know if you can get Arnica in Japan so good luck, but if you can it works unreal..

  5. Hi there crew, wondering if anyone can help me.I'm heading over to niseko for 3 months in early Jan, but at the same time am looking at finding a good japanese language school in Sapporo or within a couple hours travel to niseko. I've studied in Oz for 18 months, here they say we are high intermediates, but I think more like a 5-6 year olds speech..

    I'm looking at applying for student visa..yes I know ..I will have to leave the country..but does anyone know what immigration ask for in terms of money in the bank..eg. money to support yourself..I've heard too many conflicting amounts..Japanese embassy here in Oz has no idea.

    Oh yeah I am an old bastard 35 so working visa is out,also no uni degree..any info small or large would be great...one last thing is there decent surf in Hokkaido? Saw heaps of potential breaks, plus all those lows must pump some swell.

     

    From Byron..working in Hell (Adelaide)

  6. Iggy Pop..Melbourne at the Palace same year he did the Big Day Out..Got to hang out side stage ..just utter filth..guys a legend..

    Nirvana..same place..maybe same year ..god knows.

    just unbelievable..they were soo loud but no one cared..energy in that place never experienced before..

    Dead Kennedys..just complete and utter chaos..just awesome..

    Fu Manchu and Rollerball..Brisvegas..Fu Manchu just rock..

    Nebula...another stonerrock band from the states..lookout for thes guys when they come back they are sick..

    Mudhoney..very first tour of Oz..when the released Superfuzz Big Muff..My head was blown off..never recovered..

    Radiobirdman..legends!

    Rifles,Sunnyboys gigs..yep DeeDee..being a aussie surf yob at that time was the best..great music and great life..

    The Cosmic Psychos..always loud ,always pissed, always a great time..oh yeah the band is good too..the Grand Daddys of Grunge..guaranteed a sick night out..

  7. Interesting topic this one,I have been thinking wether japan was under any threats. I heard yesterday that Japan has also put OZ on list of unsafe travelling destinations..Like how out of hand is this crap getting..I agree to a point that it is the terrorists fault,but anyone who is in Oz and see's Johnny coward in action can see he is out of his mind.We have one of the most pathetic defense forces around,we cant even monitor our coastlines,our airforce jets are over 20 years old and can barely stay in the air..You just have to walk around any capital city to see how easy it would be for a terrorist to do some real damage,probably the same for the rest of the world..But when you have some nut crawling up Bushes orifice and saying yeah Bushy we'll back ya, you really have to look at the big picture and be a bit worried. SAS troops are coming home for a rest for chrissy,yep just a quick trip home before they pack their bags for Iraq...I had friends killed in Bali and I only blame the extremists, but Howard is like a kid poking a stick at a snake...it's gunna BITE! sorry to rave on..just sick of this nutcase of a world we live in..just want to be up in the mountains with that eerie but peacefull sound of nothing and watching ya mates do big rooster powder turns without a care in the world..
