Well I'll have to obtain a copy post haste by the sounds of it!

Didn't wanna be a coal miner? Just like this guy...

I think I'm getting the black lung pop

Ok so my thread has been quiet for a while so I'll pop in with an update;

Last week I was dreadfully ill. I had a stomach virus of some sort and unfortunately there were very few "legal" drugs I could take to help me out. I was off work for 5 days and as a result of being ill and not eating I lost 5kg in those 5 days. That may not sound alot but I only usually weigh about 75kg so I lost a fair percentage of weight, mostly from my arms and chest.

Anyway....

This weekend is a long weekend for those of us in Sydney, it is the Queens Birthday Weekend, ironically nowehere near her actual birthday but I do not think anyone inside Australia gives a fuck! I'll be celebrating by combining two of my favourite hobbies, drinking and watching sports

those kind of illnesses are the worst!
remember, alcohol can be a great weight gainer so you'd better drink extra!

It's funny, I was looking at the calendar the other day and saw Queen's Birthday (Aus) and I was thinking, what the hell?! Why don't we celebrate that(as in have another long weekend)? Lucky Aussies!
I guess we had Victoria Day in May, but I sternly believe we should celebrate all of the Royal Family birthdays...as long as it maens a day off.

You can celebrate all the Royals birthdays if you take them off our bloody hands!!

Yeah I think the oliday differs across the states. We have Labor Day in October for the Grand Final weekend but we don't get "Ekka Day"

sometimes I visit people's 411s and I write something funny.

Other times I don't.

Is that like the commercial for candy bars ,, " sometimes I feel like a nut sometimes I dont ?"

Intentional or not, that was funny

Ok so it is looking increasingly likely that I will be visiting North America sometime next year. My question to all of you that live in that part of the world is this;

Where should I go???

I have a few places I'll definitely be visiting but apart from LA and Vegas, where should bondi visit in North America???

What time of year?
What do you want to do?
What do you want to see?
LA and Vegas? So are you talking strictly a western visit?

Bondi, I've got some ideas, but it depends on what you like to do. If you like to see lots of history, like the deveopment of the United States, then you'd want the East Coast. If you want scenary, it depends if you want scenary that requires work, ie., hiking, etc. If you like architecture, there's big cities. if you like historical architecture there's old smaller cities.

One thing is for certain, if you like to eat good food, there's Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.

Ok to answer all questions it would more than likely be your summer, which unless I am mistaken is like June, July, August? More than likely July.

At this stage I am completely open as to where to go but LA and LV are places I will definitely be visiting, it just so happens they are close by. I'll also be tagging on a week to Mexico either at the start or the end of the trip.

To be brutally honest I don't care much for American history, I have seen it all before in documentaries and films. Architecture is nice but I prefer stuff built hundreds of years ago over buildings built in the past 200 years.

I like food, I like drinking, I like having a good time and mixing with the locals. I'd like to visit places that would be nothing like home. I don't mind working for scenery, I also like adventure. Rafting etc?

Also, I wanna year people say y'all! haha.

Bob where is Chicago on the map? I wouldn't mind seeing the Bulls in action

Rafting down the colorado RIver , drinking in Chicago , food Chicago and LV ,, be ware in Califonia were ya drink and eat , ya might walk into the limp wristed part of town , there are tons of rivers to raft in Missouri , one things for sure in any US city other then Vegas when your gambling drinking and eating is going to be $$$ , in Vegas if ya gamble ya drink for free .. Its the cheapest entertainment capital the USA has to offer ..

Denver is a nice place to visit , Niagra falls is a nice place if ya like big waterfalls , NAshville if ya like country music , Branson Missouri if ya like shows and diiner theater , , but if your looking for beaches and cheap drinks do the Mexico a extra few days its a hell of a lot cheaper then anywere in the USA . Good luck

[ddd35]

Why not?  You do that to everyone else.

Just cause

Thanks mate. i guess I'm still not sure what i want to do. Niagra Falls sounds good, I do like natural wonders. I'll probably do the whole Grand Canyon thing.

So it's expensive to eat and drink there huh?

What would be the approx. on:

Pint (or however you serve them) of local beer=
Steak (Like T-Bone, Scotch Fillet etc) dinner at a restaraunt=
Hooker=

I never realised how cheap steak is in Australia. In the UK you had to sell a kidney to get a steak and it's not that far off in the states. At a steakhouse if you pay Aus$25 for a steak you are getting a fucking good cut and a good size portion!

Beer sounds reasonable I will not drink light beer though, even if they do spell it LITE
