The weekend has landed, all that exists now is clubs, drugs, pubs and parties, I got 48 hours off from the world. This could be the best night of my life, I've got 73 quid in my backburner and I'm gonna wax the lot, man.THE MILKY BARS ARE ON ME!!

Posted:hello lovely type spinny type people types!
err. yes.
So, someone made a suggestion last night that we should all venture forth and see a movie this weekend!
A further suggestion was made to go see Finding Nemo.
Unfortunately, I am the bearer of bad news (i have a tshirt that says so), Finding Nemo isnt on for anther two weeks (oops my bad) So any other suggestions about what we could go see would be good?
I'm thinkin, early saturday arvo would be a good time, maybe bout 2 o'clock?
Everyone welcome, get back to me, let me know of your availability, or in benders case, just your Billity.

Posted:Hmmmm. movies. Firstly, sorry flyntrl i haven't called you back yet - but will endeavour to do so tonight.
As far as movie choice goes, i'm pretty happy to watch anything as long as it doesn't involve thermodynamics, or have anything to do with designing gearbox's. Although, i guess i might prefer artsy over the current Crown offerings.
Other than that, "I'm easy!"

DeletePosted:Me again this time with some good news for the sadly impoverished student spinning population of melbourne HoPpers.
You all know that I work for Heinz, yes? Well, here at Heinz, we have a staff shop, where I can pick up highly cheap goodies (usually at less than half supermarket retail price), So I figured that I could help pass those savings onto you guys.
Every friday the Heinz shop is open for business to staff, selling a pretty big range of products:
Heinz soups, sauces, babyfood ( )
Baked beanz and Sketti (also in Watties varieties)and some of the canned meals (ravioli and the like)
Greenseas Tuna, flavoured tuna's and lunch packs.
The link to what is available is here. and if you type in what you want and print it out, get the list to me with the correct change on Wednesday night, I can pick up what you want on Friday, and sort out some way to deliver it to you either that afternoon or Saturday.
Basically, it's good products, at cheap prices, if these are the things you would normally buy yourself, then you might as well take advantage of this!

Im currently sat here weak and filthy after a weekend of spinning at Reading Festival in the UK - Kick ass bands,
but the hightlight was being chased through the campsite by security, pois still on fire.
running and shouting insults, whilst jumping over tent ropes and trying to blow out your fire is not big and certainly not clever.
But so definately FUN.
My escape and victory made my smile last the whole weekend!
And I thought........ what could top this weekend off. ......... then I remembered im going to Australia!!!!!
Wahay

Then I can meet some of you lovely sounding (if not... um .... well...odd..no, quirky,...no.. Special, thats it) Special People?

Ok, re: the movie going situation, grrr guys, if you want to go see something, TELL me if you are available!
as it is, remarkable lack of interest or availability for this saturday to see Cypher, so, since Finding Nemo is now on, and its a fun and easy to watch film, It's been suggested we see that instead...
proposed itenary is to meet at the steps of flinders station at half 6 (thats 18:30 hours) and proceed from there to the Crown Casino, buy tickets, maybe get some foods and then see the movie! Anyone interested, let me know, so I know how many ppl to wait around for....
