I haven’t really been reading the news, but I found an article about the new smoking laws in Victoria.

From the Tobacco Reforms Victoria web site, I found that from 1st July 2007, smoking will be prohibited in:

• enclosed licensed premises.
• outdoor dining or drinking areas where there is a roof in place and walls that cover more than 75% of the total notional wall area.

I personally cannot wait for these laws to start. I would prefer to even see the second point be extended to say ‘Not smoking in any outdoor area where food/drink is served‘ like what Brisbane has. Comments about the issue on the Age website seem to follow my opinion also.

It shits me that everytime I go out somewhere, I have to breathe smoke. It’s rubbish, and these laws are great.

We had a bit of a BBQ for Grand Final day. Even if you don’t like any of the teams, it’s still a celebration of how great AFL is.

After the game, we walked down to the Arden Street oval (home of the Kangaroos) and kicked the ball around until it got dark. Good times.

J-Dog went to Sydney last week for the Telstra Small Business Awards, where he happened to bump into my mate Sol. You may recall the previous encounter that I had with Sol, where I recieved the ‘Peace Out’ after leaving Big-T.

Siezing the opportunity, J-Dog told Sol about the photo of him and I, and managed to get a photo with him on the night, which was a real pisser

Just when you thought it was all over, the unoffical Sol was at the Exchange Hotel on Friday night. Here’s a shot with Tom, Sol and Steve (borrowed from Tom’s blog)

I couldn’t miss the opportunity to give Sol a little ‘Peace Out’ back.

Afterwards, Tom bought unofficial Sol a Corona, and unofficial Sol asked ‘What the hell is this?’. Tom replied: ‘You should know… you’re Mexican!’.
