wow ok, so yet again i have abandoned this site. Although this time it had been for a good reason, you see i left England in 2007 to go travelling, infact im still away!
I started off in Australia, with very little money to my name and nooo idea of what i was really doing there, i just wanted a break from home.
I did the usual backpacker stuff of hanging around in Sydney and the rest of New South Wales to start off with. I headed over to New Zealand for xmas to visit old friendsand then back to Sydney for new years, whichI have to say was pretty amazing. They really do go all out on the fireworks, and the harbour and suburbs with good views of the bridge become packed very early on in the day, this however makes for a great day as there is things going on all the time, in the sky there is sky writing and old fighter planes making fly overs and there is many amazing boats in the harbour too, singers, comedians etc etc I really do look back on that day and smile about it still. I also travelled to Victoria, West Australia and Queensland. One of my cheesey highlights had to be visiting Ramsey Street!! haha yes im a neighbours geek at heart still although keeping up with tv when your on the road is extremely hard and tbh I sorted gave up on trying to follow anything, apart from family guy because that doesn't really follow on from episode to episode.
I spent most of my 2years in Oz up in Brisbane, Queensland, where they pretty much just have, spring and summer, which suited me just fine! I loved it here very much. They have 3 main channels here ( yup just 3!!) and a couple of smaller channels, so my tv choices where pretty limit, also with working nights in a bar, I found it nearly impossible to follow and new series, which was a big shame as in the past couple of years ive missed out on things like flashforward and glee, to name just a couple, which im sure are shows i would of enjoyed very much. But hey theres always box sets right! However while in Australia I did manage to semi follow Outrageous Fortune, mainly on DVDs sent over from NZ! What a great show, if you guys out there in tv.com land haven't seen it you should defs check it out and NOT the sh*tty american remake, which im not gona get into coz i will vomit on my keypad and have to fly over to america and destroy all those involved with the destroying of a great show!! hahaha wow semi rant over!!
I moved to New Zealand in January, spent some time up in Northland with some old friends before moving to Auckland to work. Yet again minimal tv channel choices and bar work for me so yet again no tv addictions for me! I only managed to watch the latest (and final season) of Outrageous on average of every other week, but i always caught up online in time for the new episodes. Im now down in Dunedin, bar work again! but i did get tuesday nights of and managed to watch the last 4 episodes of Outrageous, sooo sad its over but it was a good 6years.
Anyways I might try and stay on this site more, im off to buy some more boxsets soon so, suggestions on shows you guys have been addicted to over the past 3years would be greatly appreciated, well thats if any of you are still out there, and still checking up on me!!
