In Sydney
I was back to my old stomping grounds for a week while I was on leave from work. While doing the touristy thing in the CBD, I came across this guy...
Having a bit of a professional interest in ESO's it was great to see ambulance single responsers on bikes. I've often wondered why we use sedans and territorys down here in Victoria when they don't offer any real advantage over a standard ambulance unit.
I also went to Deus and caught up with a mate who now works as a mechanic there. Spending all day playing with bikes. What a shithead.

Nice SR
This was that at an SR meeting a few months back. Really, really, really, really, really clean. Lots of nice bits on it.

Shooting Rockets and Neigbours.
I'm going for a new job at the moment that has around 4 stages to go through before you get an offer. I've done the typical group interview, a typing test, had to look things up in a street directory and listen to some fascinating, yet slightly upsetting phone calls.
Anyway, yesterday I went to an Audiologist for some testing. I've got more than a bit of a passing interest in what they do as my sister is profoundly deaf and at one stage of my pathetic career I used to sell PPE. We had a talk about high risk activities that can put your hearing in danger and each time I told him about something he'd ask some very pertinent questions about it.
Q: Are you involved in any shooting or hunting activities?
A: Yep.
Q: What bore?
A: Large - military service rifle.
Anyway, we had a talk about firearms and exposure to firearms discharges and pressure waves and things like that. As it turns out, don't stand behind a Carl-Gustav anti-tank rocket launcher because when it goes off at around 180db it'll suck out your earplugs.
Anyway, going down the list of potential-for-deafness warnings was motorcycling, whereby he asked if I rode with a full face or open face helmet, and if I wore ear protection. He recommended ear plugs for all riding. As many of you guys would have noticed already during long rides a loud exhaust not only sends you deaf but really affect your levels of concentration. He told me about some studies that showed how prolonged exposure to industrial noise, comparable to those when riding, will shorten your attention span and interestingly, your temper.
You learn something new every day. Always ride with ear plugs, never stand near a bloke firing an Carl-Gustav and never expect anything interesting from one of my posts.
Oh, and last night, lookee who was on neighbours!
Nice... er... head eh?
More interestingly:
Well, I was pretty chuffed. Two Harleys being used to frame a Yamaha.

#Neighbours, everybody needs good Neighbours#
Tomorrow I'm one of ten going to Mont Albert to be in a scene from Neighbours. I saw an ad somewhere for males aged 25-35 and with naked bikes for a bit of paid extra work for a day and a half. So I'm off!
As I sit here, throwing poses at the mirror and practising laughing at Toadfish's hijinks I have to reflect upon my acting career thus far.
IMDB Entry for Marlon Slack (Draft)
1997-2002
ABC1 ANZAC Day Ceremony
Slightly chubby 13 year old cadet later becoming a scrawny 18 year old Leading cadet in the AIRTC. Marlon was seen struggling to carry the banner for the ever diminishing ranks of the RAAF Signals Group during the annual ANZAC day march.
-Hiatus-
2008
Channel 9 News, Channel 10 Nightly News, SBS World News Tonight, ABC News, SKY News
Featured in the background of an evening news report on the steps of the Magistrate's court as some bloke pushed cameramen around. Marlon was eating a Snickers bar at the time.*
2009
The Einstein Factor
Lost spectacularly in front of the whole nation on his special topics of "Military Small Arms of WW2". He was competing against an expert on "The Princess Bride" and "The Work of Bon Jovi".
In-House Corporate Video
A as-yet unreleased production in which Marlon featured as a satisfied customer. For this role Marlon drew upon years of study of Brechtian theatre and Stanislavski acting theory to hold a phone while smiling.
Hmph. Less than impressive! Ah well, it's a bit of fun and I might get my ugly nut on the tele.
Autographs by application.
*During my lunchbreak I'd walk around the block and walk in and watch committal hearings for shits and giggles.
