AuSparky,

You're only an alcoholic if your drinking is a problem. 

Besides, I seem to remember all the Aussies on the tour bragging about how much they could drink.

Mark

Geez how many Marks we got going on this tour? :P hehe makes it easier to remember names though. Have a higher chance of getting it right if you call every guy Mark

I'm an alcoholic....my problem with alcohol is that there usually isn't enough around

Shelly,

THATS a PLAN....we just call everyone MARK and then none of us can go wrong can we....

This is gonna be mad...as long as i can join the self confessed alcoholics group then its cool coz you wont find me crying off early...FOR ENGLAND JAMES..FOR ENGLAND!

Its getting closer and closer....anyone got the footy yet coz fancy a bit of drunken AFL shenanagans??

mmmm drunken tackling hahaha, if no one brings one I'll buy a cheapie (I think I'd cry if I lost my Sherrin) just hope I can find a pump over there heh.

cmon aussie! cmon aussie! cmon aussie!

Im sure there will be plenty of pumps on tour but probably wont fit in the Sherin though haha.

You guys could probably get away with calling me Mark or Marcus as well as its my middle name. My brother you will probably hear calls me Damarcus a mix of my first and middle names.

Is anyone staying at the Royal National before the tour launches? I am there for 6 nights before we go and 1 after. If anyone else is staying for atleast the ngiht before we should meet up at the London pub for a few pints? Drop a line if you are so we can suss out who is in

That also reminds me its my going away this Sat night and we are having a pint off to send me off to Europe on Tues (as in last man standing). Just to warm up the liver for my Euro adventure I am about to emback on.

Damien Marcus (Damarcus)

wont fit in the sherrin? you obviously haven't seen that p0rno haha
you should of tho, you are dutch after all

my god we aint even on the couch and the "P" word has been mentioned!!

Hey demarcus im in london on the wednesday night flying down from manchester so defo gonna be up for a few beers to chill out after work and to get pumped for the week on tour so you can count me in buddy....its a break fromw ork for me even if i DO live in the UK but oh whata break....as long as i can bring my man u shirt im happy and wear it with no slaggin off from ANYONE!

The more we can get out on the wednesday night the better as will be a top way to get to know each other before the carnage that will ensue the follwoing morning and oh the ferry ride will be ace!

BRING IT ON!!

I'll be in London the day before we head off and would love to meet up to have a drink.  I'll talk your ear off and have you wishing you never made that invitation. . . or get miserably drunk and keep wailing "Why doesn't anyone love me?!?" Haha,  maybe its for the best if you don't meet me until AFTER we get on the bus.

Sweet I think I may have started something here. Haha good to see people are willing to have a few before the biggest drinking sesh in the world good on your troops!!

LOL so you have a problem with talking to people untill they are sick of you is it? Cos a long bus ride would be the worst then :O Probably best to get that outa the way at the pub I think.

So devastated the Aussies lost in the World Cup last night. Damn Itights!! haha

I remember from last time they were a problem at the fest thinking they owned the joint. Might have to release some Socceroos fury on them after a few steins. lol

Anyways keep posting ppls if you can come try and get atleast 10 people or more in on the night before. Show the Royal what a real bunch of drinking animals look like.

damienhaakman@hotmail.com if you want to add or email me

~D~

Well all I arrive 2 days before, so will certainly catch up with everyone, that and try to fight jet lag. But I'm sure the pub at the Royal has seen more that a few Aussie drinkers.

Pity about the soccer too but we did pretty good to get where we did in the first place, and besides everyone knows how corrupt the refs are.

my email if you feel like sending me stuff, p0rn etc

Remember I'm not an alcoholic, alcoholics go to meetings

I know when to shut up. . .Its just difficult sometimes )

Lets Go Portugal!!!!

portugual are a rubbish team,
actually thats a lie, they are incredibly talented actors who know how to play the ref

ill be most likleyu staying at the generator which is near the hotel from the 12th onwards till departure date.

well deco has made it an "art" to cheat..ok theres my really bad joke out of the way!!

England portugal is gonna be tasty...two styles...the gentlemanly english against "amateur dramatics FC" of Lisbon!!

Looks like we all just added an extra days drinking to the sschedule and to coin a phrase from a distinguished fellow contiki-er "well done troops"

think you all know where i am on msn but for those late arrivals its mark_flint40@hotmail.com

hotel + beer + ferry + beer and then the rest is guaranteed to end in a RESULT!!

Hey All,

Its official, courts (blonde hussey), myself and my sister are all booked and paid up... Should be massive.

I fly into London the night before, so i'll definately be up for getting smashed... nothing like a 10 hour bus / ferry trip hung over!

Havnt booked accomodation yet, but i stayed at the Royal Nat last year, and it was a bit of a dive.... so might give the generator a go this time around.

We were so robbed in the soccer last night... very depressing. Speaking of real football, i have an aussie rules ball with me, if i have room i will pack it! Cant see how we will have time to use it though, kind of gathered if we didnt have a beer in our hand, we would be hung over / sleeping. Anyway, time will tell.

See you all soon, i think its only 10 weeks to go! F*cking A!
