Ian Faulkner Way to go, Carl ? when can we come for a snowboarding holiday in Japan ? I keep asking Izzy to set it up but she just ignores me?! Hope you?re thinking of us poor chimps stuck here in the UK with our mere 1/4 inch of snow which has ground the entire country to a halt for the last two days ? see what you?re missing out on! Merry Christmas, Ian

Ian F It's a horribly bleak and rainy Monday and I'm sat in the office looking at your cut out cardboard head (which we've mounted on the wall above the holiday chart in honour of your escape from the drudgery of work and the UK) and I'm wondering what your latest escapades are in the land of the rising sun? From the post so far it certainly sounds like you're having a load of fun running around (or should I now say cycling and rowing) and it's good to see the hats made the trip safely, but it does seem that you've suddenly gone awfully quiet, so come on lad - blog us up-to-date! I'm sure you're still having a blast, and it's just mean to keep it to yourself, as I need a good chuckle whilst drinking my early morning cuppa on a Monday when it's peeing down and Planet Rock is playing c***! Take care, Ian.
