The Day that your proud to be a Kiwi
Well after finally adjusting to the colder weather of the northern hemisphere the biggest weekend of my life begun...waitangi day pub crawl was yesterday and it was awesome...the best expereince ive had in a long time, about 5000 kiwis absolutly running a muck in london central..the police had no show of slowing down the black and white wave of intoxicated kiwis...the idilic grounds of parliment square, big ben and westminster abbey were reduced to something similar to a pig pen after we all invaded there and cut it up..I lost geoff and patrick my fellow 4Square men early in the day and spent most of the day with senior krefty and a few of the old waimea college boys, we managed to miss the haka at parliment square that made the tv news. You can see me just on the news when they show a bird spewing on the side of the road in blue pyjamas i was standing right besides her taunting her and telling her that she was a disgrace to the country.
At about 4pm i made it to parliment square which is a big patch of grass probably the size of half a rugby field underneath big ben and outside westminster abbey (where princess diana was married or funeral or something). I had lost geoff and patrick and still being pretty novice at catching tubes and trains etc by myself i was a little bit woried. I text them both and as i send it, i look up and see them both starting the massive game of scrag/bullrush in the middle of this grass square that is now nothing but mud. So standing afar and watching these boys for a while entertained alot of the watching crowd..i nearly got dragged in but managed to avoid them through the thousnds of people.
I didnt see them finish up in there and leave so when i finaly decided to go i was alone, i saw a sign for waterloo station knowing i had been there the day before and new the way home from there, at this stage pretty sober and cold from wearing nothing but a business shirt and tie i was walking accross westminster bridge when isee two twins absoluytly covered in mud giving every tourist absolute shit so was pretty happy to find them and get home with them, we couldnt get on any public transport with them covered in mud so we flagged down a cab and they had to strip right down to sit in it..
From here we hit geoffs girlfriends dress up party and i ended up coming home about 1am after a pretty solid day doing my country proud..im pretty happy i havnt sufferred from any real jet lag so thats a good thing. Monk decided to get on the piss today (sunday) and have the day off tomorrow so we are training out to aylesbury tomorro to move into the new pad..got a job interview out there next week for a gym mangement job so will see how that goes, hopefully ill pick up some supply work out there to get some pounds rolling in..Im thinking after the footy thing if things arnt set up out there ill come back into london and try chase a job in sport management, not sure if i can be to bothered with the hole teaching thing, as the kids a shit house and thats not ideal for me. I could easily slot into the suit an tie scene of london in an office, so ill surf the sport england website and see how i go..
this link is the video off tvnz news, the guy andrew potter didnt get my joke when i had him up about coming dressed up as the channel one news team, was very dry about it actually, but fair enough to he had probably been getting shit all day.
