A life of excess.

Happy thursday chums.

I have taken the risky decision to postpone my visit to the Molson Canadian Hockey House, and instead save my $450 gems for Sunday when I hope Canada will reach the Hockey final. They thrashed the Russians yesterday having lost to the USA earlier in the week, cue chaos in downtown.

Instead the Sportsworld gang, scored some tickets to see Stereophonics, as noone has heard of them out here. "The stereos?" - "Whose Stereo are you looking for?"

We can always rely on our North American Descendants for a bit of cheap comedy value.

Anyway above you'll find a little snippit of the concert with some excellent backing vocals from yours truly.

Me and my Brazilian side kick Ricardo at the concert. We've just been living the dream!

Not sure if I'd mentioned but I started a new job within the business about 2 weeks ago which involves selling Hotel Rooms at the Westin 5* Resort & Spa in Whistler. Oh yes, we all know where this story is heading. Sportsworld needs a man on the ground to go up to Whistler and shift some rooms, I'm your man! So begrudgingly I've had to spend the lat 3 days living a life of luxury in the Mountains. Back of the proverbial net!

And of course, a little cheeky ski in the afternoon! Finally! I hooked up with a mate I met travelling in Malaysia and we went steep and deep for a couple of hours before I hit the office again. Banter.

Last night me and Mik (one of the token Auzzies) I work with went to see In XS at the victory ceremony, it's also Miks birthday today. 30! The old fart! So you can expect some nice little stories from tonights proceedings... I'll leave you with another bit of marketing and a great shot of the Vancouver skyline and BC place.

The flat mate sports some JW finest.

Enjoy le weekend....
