Hi Al
Just got back from Farnborough Air Show phew 37 degrees.
Probably similar to Bankok. Watch out for the guys who tell you the big temple is 'closed today'.
It never closes! open every day. Sorry to hear the money is running (has run) out but on the other hand secretly delighted we will be seeing you very soon
I can't wait. The champagne is on ice!!!!!! Love you lots
Dadxxxxxxxxxxx
Alice
Well, thats very naughty but there's no poin doing something you hate. I leave for bangkok with 2 lads today and have to check out flights to come home, boo hoo but the cash point rejected my card earlier so I think I've got to call it a day pretty soon, actually looking forward to earning some money but not working!! Speak to y'all soon xxx
Saz
Oh yeah about the job, i by accident on purpose walked out today...enough is enough, plus weather is far to good to be in a airconditioned office...ahh life is great now haha!!!
Alice
hey dude, i must say again, very well done on your results. When your a few points off its very annoying but you worked your ass off and you know you did everything you could so you should be very happy indeed. Celebratory drinks in order when I'm home. everything you say about thailand is always exactly what I'm thinking. Ko Tao isn't my favourite but its much cleaner and probably prettier than the rest, a good place to chill and I had an awesome day riding the ped today and the sun finally made an appearance. Probably getting the nighboat to Bangkok tommorrow with 2 Irish lads so i'm sure we'll check out this place. Not planning to spend too long there but my plans are pretty flexible and I'm not sure when I'm coming home yet. Don't work too hard in your boring job and enjoy the nice weather at home.
Brother you are being very slack at the message board, get on here. And Lou, I hope you had a fantastic time in Japan, I wanna go with you next time. Oh yeah, and mum and dad, thanks for the other night, love you loads xxxxxxxx

heya dude, just wanted to say thanks for saying all the right things wheni got my grade, kate also got a 2-2 so it kinda softened the blow of everyone else getting 2-1's!! but im chuffed with it now. found out i got 57% in the diss and 58% overall...bit annoying but u know how it all works, just one of thoses things i guess. had an awesome weekend down the beach where it was very very hot and the beach was rammed!! but it was good fun and im now burnt from head to toe! did so much body surfing as the waves were incredible, although think i spent more time in the waves as apposed to riding them!
ko tao is a bit boring i thought, absolutely nothing to do unless your obsessed with diving, then your fine!! i had the same problem of rain when i was there, bit annoying. the only really nice thing is the way its all lit up with candles at nite time which u wouldnt get anywhere else really! if you do have a nite in Bangkok make sure you visit the irish bar...i know ive already told you but i cant stress it enough, its so much fun! well take care, cant believe i have another whole week of working in this call centre rubbish, its pure torture, whoever created these jobs is a very nastyl person!!haha
missing ya dude,
sarah x x x
Alice
hey guys,
Well, I survived the full moon in one piece which is more than i can say for all the hundreds of bodies passed out in the sand that I witnessed this morning. I went with 2 girls who have worked out here for years so they know everyone and everything and knew the best places to go etc. Didn't start drinking til midnight so we lasted the whole night and I eventually retreated for bed at about 9am. I think the other 2 stayed for the after-party which goes on til 10pm the next day, crazy nutters. i think the build up parties were better coz last night there was just far to many people crowding the beach, you couldn't even dance there. Definately a good experience though. Probably meeting up with Oppy again in the morning to travel on to either Koh Tao or Bangkok, will keep you informed. And yes sarah, a studio party would be awesome but check it out with the parentals soon (and everyone hide their car keys, we don't want any mums and dads hehe) xxx
Sarah

Dad
Hi Al
Hope you have a great time a the 'FULL MOON PARTY' which strangely is the title of one of your favourite albums by Tom Petty! Just played a couple of tracks in your honour. Have a good one and dont go too mad.
Love Dadxxxxxxxx
Alice
hey, its the night of the full moon party and I couldn't even move on the streets tonight to get dinner, everywhere is packed its awesome! The due date for home is 16th August but there's a high chance that will be brought forward unfortunately coz of lack of funds to complete all the country stops. but I'm arranging that when I get to Bangkok and can see whats available. may be back as eaarly as 1st August but we'll see. Time is certainly flying, I'm not yet ready to be back to reality, boo!! I do miss everyone though and I'm sure I've missed out on a lot too. keep in touch, love to you all xxxx
Ellie
