Dave Gee: Life from Right Field

What I did on my Summer Holidays
By David Benson-Pope

DAY 14: Was at the Australian Open tennis tournament in Melbourne. Got tickets for the quarter-final match between Ivan Ljubicic and Marcos Baghdatis.

Had money on Ivan...

TV legend Andrew Gourdie - aka "The Voice of Tony Veitch!" - works on his Cricket story in the Chch office... ;-)

Friday night drinks at the Christchurch office... The editors see how many people can squeeze onto one couch (Simon, Bob, Bex, & Mike K).

Haven't done Karaoke for so long, but went along to Brimstone last night with a few friends from the Operatic to have a big of a laugh and a bit of a sing ;-) It was a pretty quiet night there, so between us and Chris (who was working there last night), we pretty much hogged the mic all nite...

Jade, Julie, and her 2 friends from the Navy who didn't like cameras ;-)

Jade and Julie belt out a couple of numbers from "Chicago"...

Jade and Chris belt out (with feeling?), the old Grease the Musical classic, "Summer Loving"...

A few new friends join Julie onstage for her Britney Spears impression...

Chris puts down the mic and gets back to doing some real work ;-)

I spent a few days over Christmas working up at the 3 office in Christchurch... A very uneventful time news-wise, but we had fun in the office anyway...

Juanita and Hannah busy researching their next big scoops!...

Bob hard at work on "The TV3 Christchurch Christmas Tape - Director's Cut Special Extended Edition" ;-)
