Alton Towers (DisneyLand without the atmostphere) and crazy Jamaicans 0

Well.. back at work after a weekend packed with jam from boots to er, top of head…

To kick it off we, the Support Tourism In London Crew (Deb, Reid, Bel, Rox and I), went to Alton Towers on Sat. And I tell ya, theres nothing like being dropped miles vertically into a hole in the ground to get the blood pumping. I think I was pulling about 6 Gs at one point on the Nemesis!

Sunday Rox and I went to see Australia vs Jamaica at Majedski (sp?) Stadium. Anyway Australia won 2-1.. bastards! Hehe nah it was cool.

I made a point of barracking loudly for Jamaica cos a) I am jamaican (although don’t ask Rox that) and b) It annoyed Rox (hehe). She’s Austrayan and it pained her greatly to see her (in every other respect totally awesome) boyfriend going for anyone else. Even his country of birth. “But you have been on youth allowance!” she cried. “You owe Austraya mate! Crikey!”. Hehe she didnt say it exactly like that actually. :)

Well Australia won the match but football (soccer!) won in the end didn’t it kids… yes it was a great day, lots of green and yellow (both sides have the same national colours), lots of drunk lound aussies and lots of loud (very loud) drunk Jamaicans.. yahooo!

A great touch by the jamaicans was the massive sound system trucks they had set up outside the stadium to blast the teams with ragga music when the match was over.. Jamaica may have lost but you couldn’t tell :) REPRAZENT!!! :)

Oh yeah, and Friday we went to see the most boring man in the word get into a box… David Blaine you are a freak. I saw footage of him… sitting…in..a…box… great.
