Mikey Woo Hello matey, hope things are good! I wish I was there cos England sux! Quick question for you...remember that useless apprentice of yours Ali Miah? He doesn't know how to load I-Docs on to a PC! You left 6 months ago and he still aint done it. Told him to tap you up about it! It just aint the same service down there in I.T anymore! Anyway keep safe mate and have a beer and a Sheila for me! Better get back to the grind anyhow, laters bud! Whittle.

Stocks Hi mate  Don't know if its right to congratulate you on the new job or not - seemed to me you were doing pretty well drinking your way around Oz without work getting in the way!  Anyway, glad you're still enjoying yourself.  You're not missing too much here.  Spending this week decorating the nursery - only 11 weeks to go now!  Pompey have sent Andy Cole on loan to Birmingham so maybe Toddy will get his chance to score the goals we badly need in order to make that final stretch for Europe. I'm starting a Meon Valley side up for next season so I thought you might want the heads' up to get yourself fit in time for your goalscoring return... Get some photos on here soon will ya!?! Take care mate.

emily Hey Bro,Doesn't seem like many messages are being left so thought I'd whack one in!!  Good news about the job, at least you'll be able to travel round New Zealand now, we're all totally jealous!!  Can't believe six months has gone already - you'll be home soon!!  Ha Ha Ha!!  Me and Lee will give you a ring Saturday, be good, Em xxxxxxxx

Beer Monsta Adz Geeza, sorry for not messaging for a while, I've had a lot happening, I hope alls going wicked itn Oz, are you still with any of the crowd still. I've not got much to report apart from Pompey beat Man City 2-1, It wasn't a fantastic perfomance but we played better than we have for bout 6 weeks! yeah thats Boxing Day im talikg about! We still missed several chances in the first half against City, Mendes got battered by Barton, yeah City attacked Mendes again. Whats there problem! By the wat my car is a write off so Im currently car less, theyve offered me 277 quid for it, my excess is 250 so that leaves me 27 quid, wow I'll get a round of drinks in, me thinks!! Happy Days, time to fly down under again! Hope alls going well out in Aussie, are you in Sydney, as I reckon you are stuck in the Backpacker Sydney Rut! Its just such a cool place no-one wants too leave, sod it, I'm gonna have to book a flight back for my birthday on the 25th as I'm in desperate need of a cold VB and a hot sheila, so I'll see you Thursday! Take it easy mate, Adz

Helen Wassell Hi matt Cold greetings from Chi TIC - we all think of you - particularly when the IT goes up the .....  We had snow yesterday but only a sprinkling not enough to keep us away from work.  Hope you are enjoying your travels - take care.Helen and the TIC Teamxx

Classy defender It's bloody hard work making it look like your doing nothing at the back.

Mum and Dad Have now been able to read your screed from 7th and 24th December which has appeared from somewhere.   If you have redone it, then you have an extremely good memory for dates, names etc!  Anyway it has made good reading and you seem to be still having a very good time and glad to hear you are making friends!   Take care as always.

Matt Guys,I've just checked this site too see where i got to with details on my tour and found that it hasn't been updating properly. I've filled in travel info right up intill i roared  back into sydney after going to the blue mountains on the 20th dec and can't find any evidence of it anywhere. As a result you'll have to bear with me as this site is clearly pretty s*** but i'll try again when I get more time. I'm going to post loads of top pics from xmas nad new year which was brill and let you know what I got upto.Ive currently just fallen in from the pub at apollo bay on the great ocean road where I'm travelling with swindon steve and two top birds from birmingham, amy and ruth. We've hired a car for the next 4 days and are having a great time. More deatils will follow I promise.Take care guys your not bad....Fletch

Sexy Beast Evening Fletch,Just a quick line to say your boys were unlucky against the Gooners but at least it was a point. Also Adz has been back into the office and I've seen those horror show green and white "bird pulling" bins!! Some great photos I'll admit but it's still weird to look at Christmas trees and what looks like a very hot day...!! Take it easy mateCheers

Sexy Beast Evening Fletch,  Nice to hear from you the other day and I'm glad you had a great time partying in Fiji. Ads is probably on his way back now to tell us all about the frightening things you two got hold of and how much you managed to sink between you! It can't be nice to be an Englishman out there at the moment, the cricket is a bit of a disaster to say the least!! Pompey are still there or there abouts in the league and we're still chasing ManUre for pole position.  Take it easy  mate and I'll be back here soon...  Cheers

Fletch Guys, I'm a lazy git and really need to update this site. Once I crash into Sydney I'll have more time to sort it out so hopefully I'll get some more photo's on here. Take it easy. Fletch

Gaz Alright Fletch, Like the website..... glad you're enjoying it out there on the other side of the world.... Sorry its taken my ages to get a message on here - been rushed off my feet here with everything going on with the magazine and the other company + been working as Project Manager for a big telecoms company in Oxfordshire for past month so working non stop! Looking into another project in the Bognor area for my company for the new year when I should be moving back to London so will be closer to the South Coast - will have to continue out killer nights out when u get back! Want to hear all about the women you meet out there so keep your classic stories coming - and of course fots as evidence - based on your Exeter track record (Ads pulled more birds than you, even if they were female rugby players).... Anyway mate, glad you're having a great time..... G

Gav Fletch, Hello buddy - sounds like you are having one hell of a time!!  I'm not jealous.....much!! Just taking a brief window of opportunity (while the house is quiet for 5 mins!) to let you know that Amie & I had a little boy on Thursday (16th)!!  We have called him Cohen and he weighed in at an eye watering 8lb 10oz!?!  (OUCH!)  He looks just like Maddie did and hates sleeping just as much as she did too!!!! I am hoping to get a crowd of the lads out to the Cow on Friday evening to welcome him properly to the world, so I will have a buca on you bud!!  Amie sends her love and the kids send some michevious grins! I can't believe that you are bronzing yourself on the beaches of Oz, and I am spending what feels like all of my days changing dirty bums!!!  (And your older than me?!?)  Anyway I hope that the away form that you are so proud of hasn't deserted you - and hope to hear of more tales soon!  Take care fella - Gav, Amie and the family.... x

Therese Hi Matt!! Great website you have here. It´s nice reading what you are up to. I so miss Australia, the beaches and the weather. The weather here in Sweden is s***, it´s raining all the time. So anyway, have a great time over there and take care!! Therese

Mum and Dad Looking forward to seeing the next instalment, hopefully from Fiji.   Have heard you are in paradise so presumably you made it over there and the attempted coup came to nothing!  Make sure you check your emails when you log in as there is a bit of good news for you.  Take care.
