Thanks to everyone in Sydney for what was a very very enjoyable 5 weeks in Sydney. Time went by incredibly quickly and as always it was really hard to leave Australia again (though the next time we come back, might be for good!). While Sydney is warming up, London is just getting darker and colder. It does have a certain charm to it though! Time to return to work, and i thought time to hand out some awards.


Best wedding dance
Contenders - Bootylicious at Simo/Cel's, the Tango, and "It had to be you"
Winner - While Bootylicious had 15 girls up there shaking it (and that impressive "quickly- spreading-legs" manouever) and the Tango had Bernie (yes, bernie!) doing some classic dance moves; "It had to be you" had it all. Tap dancing, hat and cane swinging, singing (of a questionable quality - but still singing!) - brillant Bundies!

Best meal
Wow, a lot of awesome eating took place on this trip. Got to visit most of the old haunts, though we missed the fish markets (-d'oh!) , but along the way we got into some "hatted establishments". On the home cooked side - Gobbo, Jo and Anna (go the risotto!) also produced some quality that shouldn't be go without mention.
Contenders - Guillarme @ Bennelong, Yoshii, Tetsuya
Winner - Yoshii - the lunch time meal of Wagu beef was amazing, and though the portion size wasn't huge, big enough to leave u satisfied and yet still wanting more. Love the Good Food month!

Best wedding speech
There was only one real contender for this award - Gav, Bernie's best man - what a ripper of a speech. It had everything - generous servings of taunts and embarrassing stories, random telegrams, defecation and nudity stories. The hits just kept coming.
Winner - Gav
