Tacticalkat Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fbx49GBP9Vo Haha. Enjoyed this. It's a truly terrible song.[/quote Ha, that's the best version of that song I have ever heard! And now the move is all done. It was an unpleasant surprise to see that my bed had been delivered in lots and lots of small pieces. But, two hours later, I finished assembling it! I think anyone less comically inept than me at stuff like that could have done it in like 20 minutes, haha. But it was a great feeling of achievement to finish it, then lie down on it and not crash down on to the floor. Ooh you got the flat!? Awesome! Beds are incredibly hard to put together, mine had an extra but left at the end that I'm sure was meant to go somewhere, but it hasn't fallen down yet! Hope yours survived the night! That would be like the worst thing ever! Anyone in here going ti the bleeders reunion on Friday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Yeah, the bed's still holding up strong! Not even creaking, which has to be a good sign. I think it probably should have been a two-person job - having someone hold the other end of the big, heavy sides up while I did the bolts and screws would have helped. But my friends are so much better than me at stuff like this, so often when they help out they kind of take over completely. I really wanted to do it myself. So I'm stoked that I did! Although all my muscles are still hurting two days later. Ooh, Bleeders reunion? Hadn't heard about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Ed_ Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Hey Aucklanders, I'm having a little flatwarming this Saturday. You're more than welcome to come along! PM me if you're keen and I'll let you know where to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Exciting! How long for? Jo are you back for good? Sorry I thought I replied to this - probably my lousy phone browser. Â I am just coming back for 5 weeks. I managed to convince my company to give me a laptop and let me take 2 weeks of unpaid leave. It was basically a "I need to go home for Christmas and if you don't let me I quit" which thankfully worked in my favour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me if you're keen and I'll let you know where to go. How was your flat warming Rich? Are you settling into the new place? Sorry I thought I replied to this - probably my lousy phone browser.

It was basically a "I need to go home for Christmas and if you don't let me I quit" which thankfully worked in my favour. That's awesome! You will hopefully be back for all the great weather too! Will be weird to come back into the heat from the UK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 (edited) Flatwarming's tomorrow. You're welcome to come along if you don't have other plans! I've put together a playlist featuring loads of Muse and quite a few songs by The Jim Jones Revue (fucking awesome band), Ash, Pet Shop Boys and more! Yeah, new place is great - love catching the ferry to and from work. Flatmates are a bit eccentric, but they're both overseas most of the time, so it's sweet.

Davinq Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I just got internet, it's been a whirlwind but I'm finally settled in at Tauranga with my auntie and uncle currently. Mighty humid here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Oh, yeah, it's terrible, innit?! 20 degrees at night is not comfortable at all. But welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacticalkat Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Can't believe this crazy humidity! Especially as it's raining and the temperature is like 23 degrees. Makes me nervous because any time it goes like this we have a tornado! Rich how was your flatwarming? I saw your message the day after, Sat was pretty hectc, had a two year old's birthday party, got my warrant and had our Christmas work do. Mental!

JoBear Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 The nights other than Monday night have been so chilly here! Monday it was 31 degrees, 20 at midnight then come 7am it was 13 degrees and only got to about 16 all day. It's so strange! Invercargill today, probably will be it's hottest day all year at 26!

Crazy time of year. Flatwarming was good, thanks! Pretty good turnout. But I'd bought quite a bit of beer and wine, and heaps of them brought their own. The fridge is packed! Our department at work had our Christmas lunch today. It was brilliant. I was organising it again this year, so I'm pretty stoked with how it went.

_Ed_ Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 So Madness came on Juice TV last night when I was watching with flatmates. I was all excited and talked it up. But it really is a strange video, innit? My turned to Still love the song, but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I played my Mum Madness and Panic Station in the car I'm using here (I even had to buy a cassette adapter), she thought I was crazy but it is definitely a driving album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoBear Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Merry Chrustmas everyone. Invers has put on a crazy sunny day - 25 degrees right now. Already had a game of backyard cricket, tipped two beers on myself & had an afternoon nap fuelled by Moet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Ed_ Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 Haha. Ideal, really. Here's a sneak peek of what's to come on the news: a special Christmas message from the All Blacks coach, Steve 'life of the party' Hansen. I like how they tried to make him look more festive by adding a Christmassy border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
