Denmark vs Socceroos

Another friendly at Loftus Road, this time Socceroos vs Denmark. I guess everyone was pretty pumped until we all realised that morning most of our international team were not coming. Still I thought it was a pretty good game with fantastic goals. This was helped by the fact that we were sitting just 5 rows back behind the goals and were able to have an awesome view. These guys came with me to the game Mike, Anastasia, Jason, Ian, Troy and Daemo.
For those that don't know, the Socceroos lost the game 3-1.

We had a couple of drinks afterwards at Defectors Weld in Shepards Bush to drown our sorrows.

2007 New Years Eve: London

It's late, but hey at least I did it. 2007 New Years Eve celebrations were pretty unorganised, given that I had just came back from Prague over Christmas. In the end, Margie, Vaughn, Ian and I headed down to Embankment, opposite the London Eye (coincidently along with hundreds of thousands of Londoners) to watch the fireworks.

I was really impressed, the eye was lit up with flashing lights on the lead up to the big event, and when it hit 2007, fireworks were launched off it and river barges. Unlike the fireworks in Brisbane, these were not syncronised to any music what so ever. Like all London events, once the fireworks ended the crowd rushed towards the nearest public transport (tube, buses). Luckily the public transport was free for the night, just crowded. Horray for 2007.
