Rest in one very large piece indeed. He's the on who
was by far the largest person I have ever met in person,
as opposed to those I have seen in docos.

When he managed to fall down behind the bed at one
time, they had to get two full SES crews and the ambo
crew, total of 8 people, to get him out of there.

He needed a special ambulance out from Sydney at one
time because the normal ones couldn't officially carry him.

Interesting watching him getting into his Suzuki early on. If
I hadn't seen it myself, I wouldn't have believed it was possible.

That's its name, Haymarket Hotel, on George St.

Yeah, it looked like it. I didn't look around that hard, it's
a block from the backpackers I was staying at, first one I
came across with a decent steak on offer at a decent price.

Don't bother, it's a dump. Just convenient to the light rail and Central.

Looks like the Haymarket Hotel caters for them

Didn't actually try them since the $2.50 go anywhere
card got me anywhere I needed to go except the airport.

I did put my paypal into their ap but there is no one in my town.
