Miss you!!!! Hope you made it back to Bangkok safely, HOW amazing was the hotel after the shanty slum next to the reggee bar?! The tard at reception was like "what you call this" holding up a plastic gecko, and when I said "it's a gecko" she nearly soiled herself laughing, went to get all the others, and they pointed and they bandied the word gecko around, and basically just laughed at me for a while. About as polite as I expected. REALLY hope the new group is nice and not full of your New BF you made on the railway trip. xxx

Katie (or should that be Dr. Dolittle?), I always feel incredibly jealous and depressed after reading your blogs, but never so much as today after learning of your encounter with articulate rehabilitated orangutans. That is some hardcore rehabilition they have going on going down at that sanctuary! Not only have the orangutans mastered the spoken word, they can converse fluently on all the pressing topics of the day. What did you talk to them about? I hope you are going to include a transcript in your next blog. I don't suppose you could give me a number for one of them? Conversation's been getting a bit dry in my house lately and I could do with a good old chinwag. x

I have just shown a selection of your photographs to my boss who is the Director of Interior Design. She thinks you have and I quote ' A great eye for photography, composition is spot on, really talented! '
Don't try stealing my job Hancock! xx

A* for that blog Hancock, thoroughly enjoyed it and the sunsets are to die for!! I feel like stealing the photos to hang in my hallway!! Your jungle expedition was a great read. You really are a nomad now!! Keep up the fun and I can't wait to hear about the stories now Carly's involved. xxx

Your latest blog and photos the best yet- real riveting reading! Loved the monkeys. About your hammock-- how did you manage to squeeze yourself into what looked like an upside down bishop's mitre?/ Not sure I coulld cope with centipedes that size(or any size actually.) Hope you and Carly are having fun. Remember, if you turn left, it's Burma. ( We don't want you to get lost now, do we?) xxx

Hey Mancock
Glad to hear you survived the mountain climb, sounds amazing!! Hope your flights have all been stress free. What were you thinking eating an insect? Are you mad!?
Not really got much to report at the mo, but wanted to check in and say hi, Jules has been messaging me, she's settled down in New Zealand now, she's very grown up, she has a job & apartment & everything!! She seems to be having a great time but I think she's most excited about getting Jeremy Kyle in NZ!!! I'm glad she does, old Jezza will keep her grounded with tales of woe.
Looking forward to your next instalment & photo's. Hope you've managed to avoid any illnesses. Thinking of you Crolla xx

Oh my god manchester got mullered by football hooligans yesterday! I am seeing you in 4 days, argh! I will send you a more sensible email (i.e how we actually propose to meet in a country which uses a squiggle-alphabet in an airport neither of us know without getting lost) shortly.......... xx

Hi Katie, what an incredible adventure ! Many Many congratulations for your fantastic climb. You may be 24 now but I bet you will remember it when your ninety !

I'm at a computer on campus adn I couldn't remember your page address so I googled it, and you, yes YOU young lady are google's number one hit! Good work!
Also I've just scanned down and see that my birthday message isn't on the page - did you remove it? There was no swearing or rudeness OR ludeness! Cor blimey!
And you're a legend for eating a deep-fried stick insect.
FYI sir allan sugar did a 'surprise' double election on the Apprentice last week after the audience were nicely made aware of his potentional to 'sack the whole bloody lot'. Yes, yes, Sir Allan you have control over the producers, I'm sure. (Cough). A couple of muppets went - neither of which knew that kosher food was jewish; their team ended up getting food blessed by a Muslim priest to make it kosher. Good move!
Oh, and you know where to come when you're short a toothbrush.
