An unexpected pleasure in the past six weeks was the opportunity to meet Mike’s OCD music-obsessive Egyptian friend Adham who also travelled from Dubai to visit Australia.  During Mike and Matt’s return leg to Brisbane, Adham came along and hung out with us for a few days.  He was a lovely guy.  He seemed very earnest and happy to absorb ...

Today our office got word that we’re being closed down and the main onshore office will be established in Tasmania.  Fortunately, there’s plenty of forewarning:  It won’t be until around this time next year.  It was still very sad to hear though.  I’ve worked at the same company now for five years and have many close friends in the office.  ...

With Mike and Matt leaving this morning, that was the last of the 30+ overseas visitors we had for our wedding returning home.  It was nice to see them all.  I’m looking forward to the group photo from the wedding taken by the photographer as a nice keepsake of the past six weeks. This rather eventful year continues this week ...

After 10 years of thefatwebsite and all the members involved. Edo is the first to get married (or as far as I know). Congratulations once again duder. I saw this photo the other day and realise how far we have come in terms of age! We are all so skinny! I was walking to the shop yesterday and I noticed ...

Hey Everyone, Just a quick update to introduce you all to The FAT Website Youtube Channel.  Previously, I had uploaded all the videos for the site under my personal account but since Youtube went widescreen and started taking down videos that had any music owned by Warner, most of the old content has been lost or has a weird screen ...

After years and years of brainstorming and research on what i wanted for my first tattoo, I finally just went for it and had it done on Saturday. Initially, I wanted some deep and meaningful design- i just couldn’t decide if i wanted something for my family or something that combined elements of all things close to my heart. In ...

So its been an absolutely ridiculous past two weeks.  There have been so many friends and family members to catch up with and far too little time to do it.  It’s currently 11pm on the last night before my wedding so I’ll make this quick.  I always looked forward to the day that someone on this site would be able ...

I’ve decided that once a week I will post something I am nostalgic about. Be it a movie, a song, a record, a tv show…whatever. I always enjoy looking back on the stuff that really shaped me and this week I give you…Midtown. Now Mike will undoubtedly rip me a new one for this, but I recently found my old ...

I’ve had a hell of a busy week.  It’s been entirely awesome but I’ve had no time to blog until now. On Wednesday night I went to State of Origin Game 3.  It was the first Origin game I’ve attended and I went with Matt, a relative who’s visiting from Scotland.  I grew up watching Origin and always enjoyed the ...

This Saturday I scored myself a spot on an island hop tour around the Caribbean and seeing as I had never been to any other islands around here, I jumped at the chance. After some bloody marys to ease the night before we got underway at 10am and were soon at full plane to the British Virgin Islands. First was ...
