| 22/05/2004 | John Howard and Colossus Unfortunately the PM took this advise and arrived at the Camden Civic Centre a whole day too late. Oops!!! Clearly embarrassed he snuck into the National Launch of Australia's Biggest Morning Tea, to help raise some much needed funds for Cancer Research. So Johnny, here is some advice. Get along to the Camden Civic Centre at 6:45pm on the 28th of May 2004 for Heat 2. Colossus just keeps getting bigger. The winners of heat 1 will be published online once the outcome is declared official. |
| 20/05/2004 | Boys! Quick, there is still time. Hop on over
to Today's
Man, upper
level of Macarthur Square and dress yourself
in stlye. Girls also throw themselves at muso's so head on over to Jam Studios and purchase a guitar pack. Then go to Alchemy Recordings at Cobbitty an record a love song in their fantastic music studio. Oh wait. Girls don't like guys, they like cars and money, so start your savings with a term deposit at Macarthur Credit Union. Then you can buy some furniture from Brians Furniture 1 for your new home at Harrington Park. Don't just live together, please your Mum and get married at one of Camden's wonderfull churches or parks and have your wedding reception at the Camden Civic Centre. Then ring all your friends and tell them the good news on your Telstra Pre-Paid Plus mobile phone. Whilst driving past Narellan Town Centre on the way to your honeymoon destination, you get caught in a traffic jam. You turn on C91.3 to help pass the time and because the rock and pop they are playing is so good you turn the volume right up. Boom!!!! Your 4 x 12 inch subwoofers blow your boot lid high into the air. Your wife is not impressed, but you know the answer. Weld On Wheels comes to the rescue welding your boot shut. Better than new!!! (no more annoying rattles you see). The Technical Crew from Picton High School who just happen to be walking past volunteer to adjust your amps settings, so this embarrasing situation never happens again. Unfortunately the honeymoon isn't as romantic as it could have been. It was because you discovered room service left a copy of the Macarthur Advertiser in your hotel room. You end up spending the whole weekend reading about local news and events. You didn't even realise your bride left along time ago carrying your last box of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. Its definately been A Red Letter Day. All this because of a shameless plug for the sponsors, by GALAHs Australia.
