Ya know, if I wasn't in uniform, I'd split your skull with the butt of this revolver, faster than you could say "police brutality."

A happy new year to everyone again. My apologies for not keeping up to date with the site as much as I should have but..... Well I was on holiday and I couldn't be bothered.

Hogmanay was a little subdued in comparison to earlier years but was enjoyable none the less. After a little dinner we headed out to some Korean bars to mix with the locals. This being the solar new year and not the lunar new year there were fewer Koreans out than anticipated, but the bar was pretty full by the time we'd all arrived. The bells were brought in with a bit of shouting on our part and that was it, customary handshakes and cheek offerings later we found ourselves wanting for something a bit more. Heading on to another bar we met up with some other foreigners that had not been seen in Cheonan before and they were welcomed into the crowd, seemingly quite naive to the glories of noreabanging by us.

Hong Kong was the name of this singing room and it is the best one that I have been to yet, very clean and a great list of tunes for us to choose from. About 25 of us packed into this room and sang our asses off for the best part of 2 hours before being moved on by the Buzz Killing Police on charges of having too much fun (mum this is not the real police before you get worried). We headed off to a club but it was not 5:30 (how time flies) and we found it to be closed. Then headed on to a red eye bar for some food and night cap. Just before leaving to get a cab home to sleepy bed I had to rush to the toilet, DAMN squaty ones only. No details need to be given other than I am VERY glad that I am not the one doing the cleaning. We made a sharp exit....
I spent a few days just mooching around and playing pool and dangool (a Korean pool type game with 4 balls and no pockets, very tough) then on Tuesday went to a theme park - Everland. This is not associated with the Neverland park that got so much bad press, I was only lightly molested once, and I deserved it a little. Plenty of rollercoaster fun and spinny round and round things, great day out. The weather was pretty damn cold but the sun was shining. The highlight of the day had to be the fake snow slopes that they had made, rushing down the hill on sledges and toboggans was great fun, and the trick to tuck your jeans into your socks was learned very quickly. I won all but one of the races, hampered on that one by a small child whom I should have just overrun, but was feeling nice so just sideswiped.
Back at school now and it feels like nothing is new, I do have only a few weeks to wait until the lunar new year which brings with it more holidays, more celebrations, and more hangovers.
Rock on everyone!!!

I was beginning to think I'd never get another one of these. The answer is NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION. It's said by a policeman after the Griswalds accidentally drive off without putting the old woman's dog in the car. Dog outside, leash inside. "He probably tried to keep up for a while..."

Chevy Chase, America's answer to the question, "who should we not cast in this film?"

My life is so much more exciting than yours, Alan. Take today for example, I went to work, did some shopping and tonight I'm going to play Dungeons and Dragons.

...Oh god!

Killing a few minutes. I had a look at the Everland pictures.

"Ride Em" really made me laugh. Alan in a silly mock-riding pose on what looks to me like a very large dog (but is probably meant to be a pony), combined with a facial expression which is absolutely serious. Clearly staying mounted on the dog is man's work -- the easy wipe saddle still has the smell of defeat left by those who were not up to the task.

Also Mr. Owski, your hair is developing a dry, fly-away look. A more powerful conditioner is in order -- something with a rocket on the bottle would be my advice.
