What can I say.. Bit dissapointed by the loss, specially seeing as we could of had it won..... Still, best grand final in a long while.

Met up with Idsy at the Generator about midnight last night, headed to some pub called the Dean with the crew from the hostel for a few hours then proceeded to the Walkabout in Covent Garden at 5am. Was crowded and the atmoshpere great!!! Plenty of Collingwood supporters. Despite losing it was still a memorable time, downing the VB's and a breakfast included. Didn't feel like a normal Grand Final day, weird being here for this time of year but it was great. Left around 9:30am all intoxicated by the happiness of the event. Ended up playing a footy game on the cobble stone streets of Covent Garden with a Collingwood stubby holder. About 20 aussies making lots of noise and causing a scene in front of many onlookers just starting their day. Singing every theme song and Australian related tune on the tube, high fiving any aussie we ran into on the way to Shepherds bush for a kick of the footy on the green. Few more drinks in front of the Brownlow count at the Walakbout down that way. Didn't see in the 1pm replay as planned. Left just before this as Ihad hit a brick wall by this stage. Idsy stayed for a while longer. Great day and met some great people.
