So australia day turned out to be a pretty fun night out in London. The day pretty much was a usual day at the office for me, although I did manage to head down to the pub for lunch and have a pint or two of fosters.
Chico's mates were planning on heading to the walkabout at West Hamstead. Lisa and me got there around 6.30ish and walking in, it certainly felt pretty oz - on all the tv screens they had the AFL/NRL grand final replays playing, fitty flags, and it looked like it was a fosters sponsored event with loads of people with straw fosters hats. don't worry - we managed to get two of them later in the evening (although my one blew off my head when we got outside, and it was one of those slow motion scenes, where you see the hat just get hit by car after car after car. oh, and i think a big ass truck as well. I managed to get it back - it still looks 'sort of' wearable).
I guess the best thing was being able to get stuck into a VB or two. At £2, it was reasonably priced for London. The other thing that made the night quite enjoyable was the music. A mix of OZ and then all the old 90's classics (eg bit of the chilli peppers, house of pain, blister in the sun, etc). Live cover band came on at around 8.30ish, and i'm pretty sure the lead singer was australian - they nailed out a few cool tunes - they had to throw walzing matilda and the anthem in there as well.
Oh, and the big K Lo was there. thats right - action man. Kevin Low. It turns out, he's friends with chico's mates - although i had no idea who he was until I was introduced! guess i'm pretty bad with faces.
