PSB Christmas Party 2006

Tuesday night was the anuual PSB Christmas Party. This year it was held in Alfred Cove with 200+ members attending the night. Many awards were handed out where members got to vote for their favourite events like the Clowns Shoes, the Section 60 Award, the first Glass Slipper Award (girl's version of Clowns Shoes) and the first dildo award (for the most outright dickhead).

PR Christmas Lights Run 2006

PerthRiders.com got together last night to head out on a Christmas lights run in the northern suburbs of Perth.

We rode through about 8 suburbs and made two stops, then headed over to Rayne and Jap's house to have a drink and some cake. Thanks to all who organised - and those that made the trip!

38 bikes were counted for the ride. Going up West Coast Highway over the hills and seeing all the headlights behind me was an awesome sight.

PerthRiders.com XMAS BBQ

Today was the PerthRiders.com first Christmas BBQ at City Beach. It was a nice sunny day (not too hot) with a great crowd. There were three-legged races, sack races, beach cricket till Chookie snapped the bat, ice and water fights, water pistols and general banter.

The day started with me not even knowing where City Beach was. Lucky I found Lushie and we made some calls - eventually found where we were meant to be - in a carpark up the road a little. I dropped of my (and Matt's) Secret Santa gifts under the tree and said hello to the crew that was already there.

The three-legged race was up first, then the sack race which Chookie is a master of. And boy did he go. He won it fair and square and was presented with a large rubber squid as first prize.

Next it was onto beach cricket, where Jono took a few marvellous catches and Matt was "Mr Cricket". And again, Chookie had to be the star of the show. He snapped the cricket bat 3 balls later.

A few rounds of drinks and the ranger stopping by informing us that our BBQ gas bottles are a big no-no, didn't slow the day down. Frank fired up the BBQ anyway and everyone started to get their food out.

"Hey Leeeeeroy" was my call and I had managed to scam a lift to Subway for lunch (as I didn't bring any food - I didn't have a backpack). We drove to Scarborough Subway and came back with wheels spinning. That car had more poke than my bike. Lots more.

Lunch was served and eaten, then it was more relaxing at the beach along with Secret Santa. I got a belt and a small clutch purse. The kiddies got water pistols which the rest of us then took over and it was game on with the freezing cold water from the eskies.

I remained relatively dry all day until I copped a whole esky full of icy-cold water right at the end of the day - faff off Marcus!

Topped off with a nice ride home, a nap and the last 6 overs of the fourth day of the Third Test match. Ahhh, summer in Australia.

Early morning photography

Early this morning, Julz and I met up in King's Park to take some photographs and get a little bit of artistic license back. He brought his Canon 300D digital SLR and I took my Sony T30 point and shoot digital camera and off we went.

Ferret news flash

Got into work this morning and I found out that the ferret's owner had been found. A lady living in Belmont (not too far from my work) had been at the Belmont Forum shopping centre at the ATM where she had stepped out of the car for a few minutes to get some cash out. Her ferret had then made an escape through the back window and somehow made it down a few kilometers and across all four lanes of Tonkin Highway, then wandered into our office!

Luckily the little critter only went missing on Tuesday, so he was only out on his own for a day and a half. Good news all round that he's back home and safe.

*cue warm and fuzzies*

More fun than a "?" down your pants

Yep. A ferret. Just like the old Nintendo ads. It walked in to the office through the side door where one of the stores guys had picked it up. Hungry, smelly, dirty and a bit wild, we rang the RSPCA and then Ferret Rescue.

Sleepy tiger
Hope someone will look after this little guy.

Earlier in the day, Robin and I had gone cigar shopping at Devlins Cigar Divan in both Subiaco and London Court. We bought a decent cutter ($90) and a few small flavoursome cigars (namely Chianti and Irish Cream for $20) then the mother of all tasty smelling cigars for $57!
