Those Australian Fire Pictures.

I am sure that we know by now that the most horrendous fires have burnt to a cinder a fair proportion of the state of Victoria in Australia.
No doubt there will be horrific and devastating pictures of the destruction available on the net in due course, if they are not already available.
I thought I would attach a photo sent to me by one of my fans of the Victorian countryside when the fires were first being reported.
I am unaware to to the resolution of the photograph or the zoom height in miles but it resembles the 50 mile high resolution you can get with Google Earth.
I don't know how many fire victim funds there are but the Red Cross is always a safe bet.
If anyone would like to donate to the Red Cross fund that has been set up they can do so here

Upton Inn Announces First Birthday Party

It will be as it says in the advert.
However there will be the added bonus of seeing Jamie drooling and fondling with his microphone when all my model girlfriends turn up and drape themselves all over me on table 25.

Come one come all, everyone is welcome to come and celebrate what is going to be one hell of a first Birthday bash.

See you all there.

Ever been to the (Motor) Races?

Have you ever wondered what a real live racing car circuit is like?

I am of course an advanced driver and I have driven some really fast and expensive cars in my time but I have never visited a racing circuit like Brands Hatch or Silverstone.

Being an International Jet-setter, with a round the world lifestyle, I recently travelled to Australia to attend the International Licensed Victuallers Association's "World Happy Hour Rules" summit. (a very important American lady, whose a bit of an old soak on the side, was there by the but this spoons too much of a gentleman to name her at this time as she is in recovery from loosing a certain nomination)
Anyway, my lady friend is a bit of a racing fan and she suggested a trip to Phillip Island Race track.

Phillip Island is one of the greatest MotoGP tracks in the world . The fast flowing nature of the 4.448 km circuit is apparently the reason that makes Phillip Island one of favourite MotoGP tracks among riders for the last 15 years. The one big drawback can be weather on this outpost of Victoria coastline . Heavy rain and winds can cause chaos at this time of the year to the Island, which is linked by a bridge to the mainland, some 100 kms south of Melbourne.

If you ever get the chance I would thoroughly recommend you visit the centre, take the tour and look around.

Biff Baff Boff - It got released

Well the good news is that the long awaited "I'm a Celebrity" record Biff Baff Boff finally got realesed. hurrah I hear you cry.
The bad news seems to be that you can only appear to buy it through itunes, mind you I have yet to get out of the pub and donw to asda to see if it's for sale there.
You can check out a sample of the song here
and if you do decide to buy it, well it's only £1:50p any way.

So come on every body, buy a copy and see if we can upset my good mate Simon Cowell by getting it right up there at the top of the charts.
[ I bet Simon's on his way round the Upton Inn to bash me as soon as he reads this :-) ]

A Belated Happy New Year 2009

Hi everyone, I'm back.
As is normal during December and January I have maintained my international Jet setting lifestyle and I have been abroad travelling the worl.
I have loads of photos and stories about the things that I have been up to while I have been away enjoying foreign parts.

I will be posting some of the more interesting pictures here over the next coming weeks.
There are so many to go through first though.

I must say a very very big THANK YOU to all of those you that visit my little place here on the Internet and contact me through e-mail to ask me questions.

To the hundreds of you that have posted asking where I am.
I say thanks for asking and for caring, please accept this blog posting as my answer to you for now.
There are so many it will take me some time to answer each and every one personally so please be patient as I get round to you.

HAPPY 20009

Fashion Picture Competition at the Upton

It's official, in the New Year there will be a fashion picture competition held at the Upton, just for fun. The winner might win a prize but seeing as I am so fashionable we always announce it as being for fun so there is no chance of anyone saying the result has been fixed :-)

Anyway, all you have to do is what I have done here, get a picture taken of yourself in your most fashionable T.shirt together with a current copy of your favourite newspaper.

I have started it off with a picture of me wearing the latest Badgers Promotional T-shirt with a copy of a Red Top Newspaper, I obviously don't qualify for page three !

Get your photos taken, male or female and send them to me here at my blog and they will all be published and the winner announced at the end of January.
As always, wet t-shirt photos are invited and accepted.

I will post all of the entries on our photo gallery, once it's up and running, for all to see and the winning entry will be posted on my facebook fan site which you can view here
Also don't forget that tonight's quiz is going to be extra special so make sure you arrive early to secure a table and adequate seating for your team as tonight the Upton will be full fit to burst.

Have you planned ahead?

I know you are going to goan at the thought of planning ahead. We are only days away from the fantastic Xmas Quiz Night and then Christmas itself and that is what is at the forefront of your mind, but you have to think now at what you are going to be doing to see the New Year in.

I have the answer, if your not going to be on a Fireworks Dinner and Cruise in Sydney Harbour that is.

Come to visit the Upton Inn, we are not like the rest, we are the Best.

For starters, we wont be clawing at your cash trying to sell you a ticket, Oh No. it's free.
But the amount of space available in the car park, and inside the pub is limited.

So, my advice to you, as a seasoned New Years reveller is:

Come in a pre booked taxi or mini bus that can pick you up around 1am.
Cut costs and come with a group of friends.
Come early because it is going to be packed to the ceiling with revellers wanting to enjoy all of the fun.
Pay for the buffet because it's going to be a long fun filled night that you will never forget.
and there's music provided by Disco Phil.

It's going to be a night to remember.
