Awoke after noon (this arvo in fair dinkum aussie parlance) but was disappointed not to be greeted with a g'day mate. Opened a bank account with $2 and a passport. Fancy having to prove who you are just to deposit some money. Oz got stroppy when they appeared to know what my form was for transferring money from England. They had been ignorant of the form when he'd been in and he was not HP.
Wandered around the mall while waiting for a few photos to be developed and then headed back. In the evening it was the Newcastle University Classics Society's Roman Orgy Night. We dressed in sheets and pretended to be Romans, sat on the floor of the drama room, watched fights between Romans and Picts, drank mead, Tooheys Draught, VB, ate a ploughman's lunch and some stew and various fruit pies and custard, watched Nige bait Tony who was dressed as Boris the Dancing Bear (Foxtrot, Charleston etc.) and who also did animal impressions (monkey, goat etc.), talked to various fair dinkum Aussies and an evil looking fat-bastard and then went home.

Phew. Crazy students. We didn't do funky things like this in the Engineering Dept at Loughborough.
HP = happy
Nige - was a family friend who was hanging out in Stevenson Place. Walked around in bare feet and a singlet all the time.
Tony - Anthony Anthony I seem to recall. Tony Tony to his friends.
