six days from now I will be in the middle of the Great Victorian desert in Australia, on a trial of endurance and willpower, human spirit against the forces of nature, scouse native wit in a battle against the ferocious and poisonous Australians.

If you want to sponsor me, send me some money now

Off on the family holiday then?

I've been in training for a week, turned the thermostat up to 30 in the house and I've been dinking nothing but wee. Fosters I think they call it.

They call it wee too.

Suggestions for your beer sampling pleasure:
Coopers - Sparkling in particular
Tooheys - Extra Dry or Red (normal Tooheys is piss)
VB at a push.
Carlton - Crown Lager

You've only just come back from your last OZ holiday. Why not move out there?

because its there

just think about it. Desolation as far as the eye can see, nothing decent to drink for 500 miles, no decent birds for 500 miles, venemous creatures and vultures everywhere.
I'm leaving all that behind to go to the desert

So, you're leaving London to go to the desert.....good move!!

I like the bit where Gracie Fields sings Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EUytEX_XkE (contains sound)

I'm too old to be a permie. But they'll let me in with my holiday dollars - oh yes.
