Claire, moore i look forward to the next installment (tho i dont want to see any spider photos) Benson duncan adam n i all went to see yet another crap film last night (adam picked it so cant expect more) - . Bit of excitment next month Tho hopefully heading out next week for rozzies birthday itl be our monthly ventre into town for drinks least its guaranteed adam will be sick, rozzie will be crying and ill be slabbering to everyone - good times

OMG adam your right the calculator is coming out and ive just added Benson to speed dial those sums are tough i just though 3+2 =7, ive typed 5 now fingers crossed this time!

Take care chums xx

lol thank the lord (or whatever toomath believes in lol) you survived the outback. I was having squeeky bum time the last week thinking some toothless inbreds had caught up with you... but instead you tell me of spider horrors, I want ellaboration on this 8 legged beast in your next blog if you dont mind. I want full descriptions and examples of people who have been biten by this bad boy and how agonising their death was...itll give your near death experience more substance..its for your benefit lol.

Also is it too much to ask for one of you to wrestle a Northern Ireland shirt onto some unexpecting Kangaroo? This would be a serious photo opportunity for the Our wee Country forum plus ill buy you a pint or let you beat me at Pro Evo or something for your troubles lol.

G = no one buys Man Utd tops unless you are ginger enough (yeeoo) to support them, even if they are a 10er - thats a rip off anyway lol! Take it SS Moores never done deals on chelsea shirts or where you supporting someone else then lol??

Moore = weh? You love football banter, im putting it on here to save you signing into the almighty "windows live hotmail" bag!! I think of others lol. I got my tickets today for the NI match, Gibb etc doesnt know it yet (as we havnt spam texted it yet) but me and Eddie are thinking chillis for munch before match on saturday yeeeeoo. Will you be watching it with toomath?

Gibb = yeah im running with that one, glad you noticed! lol. Here chillis on saturday before the match? I dont want any of that "its bad customer service" bag being mentioned, I checked the menu and there is an abundance of meat on there, burgers, steak etc so its in my bracket biiiiig styyyyyle!!

Julie, glad you got a message on the forum at last, I know you have been struggling with the sums, just use the calculator I got ya or do what I do and ring benson lol....and it was a dodgy pint caused the hurling nothing to do with my light weight drinking capacity :(

Right im away my novel is complete!

Chris and Claire,

Just googled Cairns in my teabreak, there's a Moores Reef on the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef. I'm sure you'll be visiting that. Heaps to do in terms of sea cruising, snorkelling etc.

I'm sure you'll have a ball.

Mum

Chris and Claire,

Glad to hear you're having a super time so far, good to hear from you again. Be careful, Oz is the place for some of the most dangerous creatues in the world!! Would be good to get another blog and some photos.

Chris, take it you are aware that I got the parcel, card etc. Thanks again.

I've been enjoying the footie banter although the football itself has been very disappointing. I think Rooney has a one match ban now.

Hope your flight is on time and you arrive safely at your next destination. Hear from you soon. Take car.

Mum xo

Guys, WE SURVIVED THE OUTBACK!! We only had one close encounter when I found a 'redback' spider in our tent but you'll get all the details with next blog in next few days! We're gonna invest in a small laptop comp so we can easily load photos etc so hopefully over the weekend there'll be a load coming on!

I wanted football banter in emails! This is for blog discussion you clowns! Cant believe the recent results though! We're only back in civilisation today and we fly to Cairns this afternoon to start our east coast adventure so we'll catch up with you all soon as we can!

Moore said a few days ago they wouldnt be on the net for a while as they were going to ayres rock, but then your all too busy slabbering about the footie! im just pleased fulham won!

For the record i wasnt slabbering to everyone on my birthday adam was so hammered by the 3rd drink he was probably talking to a door frame imagining it slabbering back!

Claire moore - i need some more photos to nosy at during work

You're really running with the "David Gill fixture cheat" thing aren't you Fulty!?

At the same time though, he was nice enough to move Pool's second-leg Champions League fixture next month....

TV news you both will be glad to hear....

The 42-year-old actor said the eighth season will start shooting in May.

Kiefer said the show hasn't been confirmed beyond that and that its makers will "take it one season at a time".

"If I was going to liken 24 to a girlfriend, 24 has been really good to me. And I need to be really good back," he said.

"There are plays I want to do. There are so many different things I would like to do, but I was so fortunate to be part of something like 24 that my focus is still on that right now," he said.

SS MOORE special my odd short friend. I almost had every team @£10 a top :D Even pool. (Probably been seen more in a pool top than you :p)

Good point though Fulty, where are those two?! My money is they are both currently analysing how old a particular rock is...... Oddly wish i was part of that discussion though lol instead of being stuck here.

G unfortunately Chelsea will never win the Champions League mate, but keep the faith, im just happy your supporting one team now instead of 12 like you used to...i remember you wearing a Man Utd top at one point in your youth...(oh yes i remember) suppose they were winning so whatever makes it easier for ye.

But your right David Gill will win the league and unforuntely with his new fixtures role in Uefa hes also on course for the champions league...

Moore and Claire...where are you?? lol
