Sydney Voiceover Kings Welcome Me Home…..
The Sydney Voiceover community have welcomed me with open arms and fists full of beers at the recent voiceover people end of financial year drinks.
Yes, you may have guessed after 14 years in Queensland, I have left for cockroach territory, the place where I grew up. Sydney is now home for me again, as I prepare for something big and hairy in the media. Thankyou to all my good friends who have supported me in the Sunshine State, sharing so many good times and good beer with me, but as they say, all good things must come to an end. The lovely Tanya is coming with me to take on a job with a groovy fashion store in Bondi and I have a few surprises up my sleeve in TV, Radio and check out my column in this months RALPH mag. I still have a few shows coming up in Brisbane, like the Australian busking championships and other corporate stuff. My Dad, sisters and brother is in NSW plus Dad and his beautiful new wife Manel have just had a baby girl called Alexandria. Very excited about watching my little sister grow up in Sydney and being a big brother (36 years older) again.

Stockbroker Of The Year 2009
The bears, the bulls and the donkeys converged on Star City In Sydney for the Stockbroker of the year awards. The generosity from all in attendance was incredible. At least $80k was raised for the Royal Prince Alfred Hostpital to buy Humidicribs for premature babies. When I was on stage I couldn’t believe the amount of brokers who pledged cash and one in-particular who pledged 32k himself for an RPA humidicrib. Think of the lives that this could save, amazing. Thankyou so much for your generosity. Thats not all that was raised, there were a huge amount of people who showed amazing generosity during the silent auction, raising up to 200k. Not to mention almost 6 million over the years. During such hard economic times the stockbroker community of Australia showed amazing generosity. Great to see some of the talented babes from Sky News and Sky Business news Australia.
Thanks for having me guys and hope to see you next year…..
POKER IN THE HAIRSHOW
Im all in at Darling Harbor’s Star City Casino Sydney for the next few days playing a BIG GAME Poker Tournament to win big buck$$$$$. They use me a lot here for shows, like the recent Ralph Swimwear model of the year and the up coming Stockbroker of The Year Awards, I love this place! The chunky waterfall at the entrance, Baby John Burgess working here three times a day for a live game show, staff who help you out at the tables when you’re not sure what to hands play, great restaurants, bars and of couse heaps of big poker tournaments.
My yummy fiancé Tanya is here styling and modeling a few fashion parades for hair expo at the convention centre next door. The poor darling has been going multiball trying to get the parades styled in time. Its reminding me of when I was a hairdresser, I cut hair in my first two weeks of apprenticeship and got sacked. Glad I did cause every day the boss spoke to me like a dog, all I did was sweep the floor, wash towels, work long hours and go home most days with a muffin mouth full of other peoples hair. I was just down there at the convention centre at Darling Harbor watching all the spunky hairdressers wizz and jizz up a storm of hair hats. Tanya’s styling is incredible, Im sure you’ll see what shes done in all the groovy fashion magazines read by fussy women who think they know whats hip and men who enjoy a bromance a little to much.
Back to Star City and the Poker, I had breakky at Austral this morning on the top floor of the casino with spectacular views of the city, served over excitedly by a little indian dude who kept bowing. By far the best breakfast ever. Why dont you come down to Star City and check out the Poker Room where I will hopefully be at the tables for the next few days, unless I go all in with a bad bluff and a low pair. Not to be confused with going down on a big muff with a mo hair.
Think you can play poker? Then put your money where your mouth is BIG GAME POKER
Or you can read the next issue of RALPH MAGAZINE how I played games here at Star City and at the 888 poker tournament with Shane Warne in Melbourne next week. When it comes to POKER I’m All IN BABY!!!!
I’m on NOVA ALL THIS WEEK –

Styling By Tanya – TM Style
My gorgeous fiancée Tanya Arlidge is a super stylist and I quite often rave about her wherever I go because she is the best thing in the universe. See!
Heres some of her recent work. She’s pretty darn good on the microphone too. She should have sang a song or done a rap like, “Styling by Tanya, Im gonna get some clothes on ya!”…….
Maybe not.
