Thomas and Silje hey hey hey! :) How goes...? it probably sucks - because you are already home again - i know we're all depressed. Hope to see you soon again - maybe this time in South amerika Take care...

Chris everyone should come to ours. not only is it easier more me, but tony and gary have confirmed for the 3rd. X

Smellasaurus rex Sorry Mwncius maximus - the old lecturer I was refering to was called Dr Michael Lewis - the one with the speech impediment. Can't recall what his module was (I remember flow type diagrams and that's about it - b*****!) anyway he's so cool and I thought you'd like to know that he's still out there doing his little thing. Ramble ramble ramble. right time to stop this nonsense and go do something usefull.... xx

Smellasaurus rex Hallooooo there Hannah, Gary and everyone else who partakes in this new fangled message board doobrie. How the hell are you? Didn't realise yous guyses were coming back so soon - for some reason had convinced myself you were gone for a year, anyway - that's awesome cause it means I can soon have a good ole giggle at your grumpy face gary!! or have you (duh duh duuuurrrh) cheered up??!! That too would be good. Glad you've had such a super dooper time. Haven't seen any photos since NZ though, will check out the new ones when I've finished rambling. And I'm sitting on the fence with the beard debate - half of me thinks/shouts for gods sake shave boy and the other half wants to see it in all its 3D wonder!! So I'll leave it up to you (Thank You cards to be sent to 13 Edington Ave, Heath, Cardiff CF14 3QF)! Am in agreement with Smashers about having a gathering - is the boys house big enough though? Would be rad and old school. If you give us warning Besticle can book the night off and the boys might actually get to meet him! While I think of it - any news of another J house partay? They do tend to rock. Mwnci - I keep seeing our old lecturer cycling with his lil boy on the back of his bike AND I saw him taking his wife for a meal in a Italian restaurant tother day - he's SO sweet! I love him! I need to get a life I know! Where are you now? You teaching English? Besty and I are going travelling in June and hope to teach for a term or so to get by - did a TEFL course and everything! Would love to hear about what you're up to - drop me a line some time. Big love xx p.s. apologies for all the typos and speeling mitsakes I know who you loves them! Gary and Hannah - hope you have the time of your lives and can't wait to see yas again. Take lots of care and try not to look too suspicious in the airport gary. Mega ultra love xxxx

Asher hey Han and Gary, Cant believe you guys are home so soon. Enjoy your last week in Japan and give us a bell when you get back so that we may organise some shindig together. Maybe we could all meet in Bristol at the boys' house (not that Ive asked them but they wont mind). It'd be cool to get together and hear your tales. Travel safely, and dont spend too much money on my present. Big love asher xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

anna Hi guys! I'm very jealous that you've made it to Cairns, we had the same problem getting stranded places due to the weather and we had such an awful time on the Whitsundays that we decided to cut our trip short and are now back in sunny Sydney! Hope the weather stays nice for you up north, have a blast, love Anna xxx

fiona Hellooooooooo, it's snowing woo! Which is fine until you actually have to go somewhere and do normal things which take about 10 times longer. I'm very bored at work waiting to weight people and your photos are making me jealous. Also I have to agree, the beard needs to go, I hope you are cleaning it regularly or who knows what might be living in there! Have to go, there's free buffet at work. See you in 15 days hannah! xx

Mwnci Ash - No I didn't forget about Amsterdam, I was just flat broke from coming home over Christmas. Been given a (small but needed) payrise by the language school now so my wallet has a bit of breathing space in it. You lot should come HERE, you fools! It's got everything you could possibly need, including a pseudo-native guide. H+G - Cheers for the glastonbury heads up. I tried to send my photo on the 1st but I guess every sod in the UK was doing the same thing - shows the uber-panic everyone's in about getting tickets. Wish I knew where I was actually going to BE this summer :S Ant - No comment on the new English 'smokescreen', where they have the pitch secretly widened when nobody's looking (including the 4th official). Seriously...

gashley hahahaha, it blocks out swaering automatically. f*** s*** arse f***er w*** spank suck my p**** cock

Gashley What the f*** bro? You're back at the end of this month? That's mad-it's gone well quickly. I only posted a message on this board for the first time last week. Weather conditions here are pretty bad too-it snowing today! I managed to drive from cardiff to cwmbran (where I work) absolutelty finely but then skidded in the car park! It was really scary but Im happy it wasnt the M4. anywho, hope yo are enjoying yourselves Easy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Ant not long left then, hope you enjoy yourselfs. Oh, and for the record. The smoke screen has been lifted and English rugby is back!!! ;-)

Gary & Hannah Thank you very much Mwnci. The weather here is pretty bad at the moment, theres a bloody cyclone on its way in! Is everyone aware of the ticket procedure for Glasto? Apparently it involves pre-registering and scanning your photo before the end of Feb..... Anyway, hope everyone is all good, and if we cab leave OZ on tme then we shall see you all before the end of the month

James Hi guys! Just got your latest update. Great to hear your having the real aussie experience! photos are ridiculously amazing - i hope you realise how jealous you are making everyone! You get up to sun and beaches - i get up to dreary cathays! anyway really good to hear from you, hope you are both well. James p.s england finally beat australia today at cricket. Give those aussies some stick!

ashley Mwnci! Did you forget about amsterdam?

Smasher Hey guys, How's it going? Sorry for being so lame and not writing you a message but I always forget because you dont email me! But then I got an email, so I remembered. Anywho, it sounds like you are having fun and I am utterly jealous. Amsterdam, with the boys, is the most tropical destination Ive been to in a long time. When do you guys get back? Are you meeting loads of cool people? Keep sending me those reminder thingies because then I'll remember to post a message. Big love ash
