back in the uk

didnt say much about scotland did i? oooh boy there were a lot of bagpipe buskers, yes indeedy. troy ate haggis it was boring. i ate a deep fried mars bar and it was delicious. loch ness was also boring, no monster - who would have guessed? went to glasgow and hung out with an old comrade sarah, saw the grates (again!) and got very drunk with her and her partner matt, laughed and cried about tommy sheridan, australian politics and life.
now we're back in london and have settled down to work finally. its kind of a bummer. maybe i should find some rich benefactor so i can just travel constantly.
we've found a place to live in sudbury hill, its out in the suburbs but at least its got 2 tube stations. its a multicultural little share house with john, yoshiko, graham and andy. john and yoshiko are quite a funny couple, kinda stereotypical - he's a larrikanish irish guy who tells stories of various misadventures from his drinking days, and shes a very organised japanese woman who cops a bit of flak for being the 'dishes-nazi' but shrugs it off, somehow it works. she works for sega and brings home the latest games whenever they finish one, which graham (the south african) plays in the lounge room a lot, swearing at the tv. i'm a bit worried about coming out as a commie given grahams history as a recruit in the war in angola (where various pro-american south africans fought the pro-soviet cubans) dont want to trigger any bad memories! i still havent seen much of andy the korean guy, he works two jobs and keeps to himself a lot (not in a creepy way, i think he's just shy!)
troys joined the epsom extra b's rugby side, i've watched one game, nothing like a bunch of blokes jumping all over each other. i dont really understand the game so when troy talks tactics with me i just smile and nod. i joined a soccer team, and went to training last week. there were about 20 people there! so i hope i get to play a whole game at least once this season but probably not if i perform the way i did at training. i am not cut out for midfield! but we went and had a curry after training and the team are all pretty nice so it'll be a laugh anyway.
