Gigging

So, I can't believe I forgot how much Fun Loving Criminals rock! And Arrested Development were superb too... Yay for Dubai gigs!

Off to Dubai Rugby 7's this coming weekend - can't wait to write about that too ;-) I will hopefully be sneaking into the rugby players locker rooms with (DJ) Sarah to interview them (or in my case, to perve over them), and I have some mates playing for Sharjah too so it should be an awesome weekend!

Come on SA Sevens team...

Pics of the car

My beautifull car, plus the scrapes from someone driving into me 3 days after I got it ;-(

Went to the Red Bull flug tag yesterday, what an absolute blast - Tanne and I took Tao and met up with gorgeous Carl the Kiwi, Jacques and some of Carl's friends. It was totally hysterical some of the machines that made it up onto the stage, and obviously subsequently into the Creek!

Won tickets to Fun Loving Criminals and Arrested Development on my mate Sarah's radio show, so am heading down there tonight with Del, yay!!

New bits and bobs

I am the proud owner of a brand new pearl white Rav 4. The colour is described by one of my friends Alison as 'making you want to lick it' - couldn't have said it better myself ;-) It had 9km's on it when I picked it up, and has all the trimmings, and I love it! Pics to follow...

I also went shopping for new 'girly' clothes that fit me - yes, I have lost weight and all my surfer baggy gear is particulalry unsexy - last weekend. I am a crap shopper, so took Leen (ultra chic Jordanian princess/clothes horse/stunner - you get the picture) and Vanessa (knows me best out of anyone here) to ensure that I actually stayed in the shop for longer than 5 mins without getting pissed off, and to help me select some somewhat stylish clothes, without changing my whole comfy look. Brilliant success, and cheap at the price.

Off out tonight, with awesome Sarah, in my new car and my new dress. Don't laugh, I actually am wearing a dress tonight.

Hee hee

Car trouble

So, no really exciting new news, except the fact that I'm still waiting for my new car (it is due to arrive today), and my credit cards and cheque book have been delivered to me, so I can start paying off/back the money I owe to all and sundry.

Went pub quizzing at Fibber Mcgees a couple of weeks ago, and my team, Horizontal Bob (long story where that name came from) is officially the reigning champions - out of approx 11 teams nogal! Sarah, Martin, Lisa, Rob (Bob) and myself rocked the party, and looked suitably dumbfounded at the results, mainly as we were wondering if there were indeed drunker/stupider people there than us ;-)

Saw Goldfish (CT duo) on Thursday - not as good as I've seen them before, but awesome enough that I got to say I told you so at least 10 times to my sceptical (mainly UK) mates ;-) Met them on Friday and had drinks with them, and managed to do a fair few Xmas pressies (bought 5 of their albums!), so that was cool...

Am trying to get my lazy ass out of Dubai this weekend, am uber-keen on seeing the beaches in Fugeirah, and getting in some suntanning and scuba diviing - watch this space. Fun Loving Criminals/Arrested Development Sat night so will definitely have to be back for that!

Work is still hectic, but have finally been given permission to hire people, and an assistant, so am way happier than last week! Have also been told that studio integration (i.e all 4 BBDO studios) should be going ahead next year as initially planned, so will be in charge of 30 people by Feb, instead of the 15 I'm in charge of now - talk about swift promotion opportunites here, they weren't kidding!

As for the shits in Sunninghill that buggered up my parents' shop, and caused my mom to fracture her wrist, I say TWITS! (And that's because I don't want my parents reading the other word that comes to mind).
