Clubflat in Australia & New Zealand 2009

 


 

Whoever said a 24 hour flight was a killer was wrong!  With busy lives at home, Hero and Lucy enjoyed nothing better than doing absolutely squat but watch blockbuster movie after movie and drinking free beer.  In fact the flight went that quick that they wanted to go round again!  And this was in pigeon class travel!  The Hypnotist picked them up from Sydney airport and took them back to his newly acquired palace north of Sydney in Terrigal, where he proceeded to demonstrate all aspects of Australian life in his own 'British' way.  This included mincing like a fairy at the Sydney Funnel Web spider nest in his garden.  Don't know what all the fuss is about, after all, it's only the worlds 2nd most venomous spider!  The Hypnotist's Birthday fell at the end of Hero and Lucy's 3 weeks and what a great excuse for a piss-up, even though every night pretty much was one.  The Hypnotist's Ozzie pals Cameron and Aliesha joined the fray along with work colleague Tim, as this was one time no-one was going to miss taking the piss out of The Hypnotist - all night long.  But his dented ego soon recovered as he whipped everyone on the Wii he has set up in 'the lads wing' of his mansion.  Really it was one of those 'let the host win especially on his Birthday' moments, but what he doesn't know won't hurt him, right?  After 3 weeks of The Hypnotist and Hero constantly goading each other like two alpha male lions, departing was difficult.  So much so that Nicole and The Hypnotist suddenly reappeared in the airport for one last pint when they were meant to have gone!  Nicole's 3 week intensive alcohol training was kicking in... now all that was required was for her to complete Part 2 of the training - in the UK!

 

The only way to travel on a 24 hour flight

Australia has so much space.  Six lanes leading to the lights. SIX!

First things first after a long flight

The first Ozzie to get Clubflatted!

The Hypnotist's little abode

Already a spider is found in the place!

It may look pleasant out back but it's full of spiders!

Hypnotist dares go down the 'spider path'

Instantly a St Andrews Cross spider is found!  Non-venomous luckily

Golden Orb spider hanging virtually invisible in the pathway to walk into!

Here's real trouble... The Sydney Funnel Web nesting in the grass

The Hypnotist resorts to petrol as even his eyes struggle to

hypnotise the Funnel Web's 8 eyes

habits with him to Oz

Garden birds are a little bit more exotic looking than in England

The Australian way of life

Funnel Web was kind enough to take a picture for us

Now this is a chill out room!  And this still ain't the official 'lads room'!

Somehow we'd been hypnotised into thinking he was 1 years old

Viggo was a keen Clubflatter but had yet to master how to hold the cards

The Hogs Breath Cafe steaks. More fat than a sumo wrestler

The Hypnotist didn't notice the upright fork on his seat as he sat down

Clubflat, he 'nose' where it's at!

Tim wanted to be the head of Clubflat

Hero shows his disgust at a horrible invention - cheese cake

Warning, Clubflat cards are not to be put in the hands of children

Even Jaspa the dog was keen to promote Clubflat

"What you effin' looking at, let me out to play you mutha... Hey!"

The Hypnotist had put Nicole into a deep sleep - by boring her

Hero and The Hypnotist... Clubflat best of pals
