New jobs and assorted bit and pieces

Howdy all,

It's been a while since I posted so I'm a bit rusty and I apologise if this reads a bit like verbal diahorrea.
Well I'm at it again, I have 3 jobs now and will be juggling them to ensure that I don't double book myself or anything stupid like that. I start tomorrow in Cardiff working for a company that manages WorkCover style cases for large employers and insurers. There seems to be a general lack of organisation/legislation when it comes to workplace injuries over here. My job will be to ensure that the network of physios (about 400 or so UK wide) that they refer people to aren't overservicing or treating by slapping 2 dead fish together (Mutual Community advert style). I'll have 2 PhD physios who I can turn to for advice, so basically I'll be doing the shit kicking phone calls and stuff. The upside is that I'll pretty much get to sit on my arse whilst making those calls.
I may even get to travel a bit to slap any particularly stupid physios over the head.
My other 2 jobs will be a bit hit and miss as it'll depend upon referals but I'll be doing Manual Handling Training (fun for all the family) and WorkCover style assessments that I did back at home.
So enough boring stuff, what exciting things have we been up to? Well Megan's covered most of the big stuff like Bologna and the Dawn Raid (which was certainly an experience) and I'll be posting photos from Bologna if anyone is interested all you have to do is scroll down!)
Other notable events have included the AFL Exhibition game between Port and Geelong where Port got pumped and the game was cut short due to a bit too much argy bargy and 2 streakers!




We went to dinner at Jamie Oliver's restaurant 15 for Megan's birthday last Monday and whilst the food and wine were awesome, the highlight was actually getting to meet the big man himself! He was really nice about us interrupting his dinner with mates and even signed a menu and posed for a photo.



We went to Greenwich, which is where Greenwich Mean Time starts and got the cheesy "straddling time" photos



So all in all, it's been an interesting few weeks since I last posted.
Will endeavour to keep you all updated as events unfold!
