Estelle Ian's Mum Hi Ian I have just seen your message I didnt want to miss your call and thats why elaine posted the message about us going to Richards for the weekend. I will look forward to hearing from you I hope you havent grown too big a beared while you have been on your travels I wouldnt want you to look too much like Robinson crusoe. It does seem to have been a long time. However I know you have had a great time and I am a bit jealous that I coulnt of done some thing like that when I was your age. Nick great to hear you are ok now and Im sure everyone will be looking forward to seeing you kl is quite an interesting place we certainly enjoyed it. Ian I am looking forward to watching the United games with you again. You had better wrap up warm when you get back as snow is predicted this week. All for now love Mumx a

Ian Hey, thanks for the info Elaine. Unfortunately im on a trip down the Mekong Delta for the next 2 days so whether or not i can get hold of you all tomorrow is now pretty debateable, Might have to be Monday when i call, in which case Happy Mothers Day for tomorrow, Mum! Dad, i will email you all the details of my flight home instead.

Ian's Dad Hi looking forward to you coming home Ian, sounds as if you have seen some fantastic places. Vietnam was rather off limits when I was 21! Big game tomorrow - Southend v Leeds, and County v Hartlepool - top of the table clash! Nick the covered market in KL is really good, we found a fine Indian restaurant selling an excellent fish head soup. And the Batu caves are worth a visit. Hope you are feeling much better now.

Elaine Sunday even

Elaine Yo Ian, Mum and Dad are away this weekend will be back lunchtime on saturday, just so you know :D

Nicks Dad Hi Nick Looking forward to seeing you next week and to hearing all about the fantastic places you have seen. Sounds like KL is a great place albeit humid etc. You won't have to worry about that here, its gonna be dead cold next week, welcome home!! Good you are going to stay with LJ ... she can deal with you whilst you get over your jet lag!! Ian, hope all well with you too, not sure when you will be back but look forward to hearing your tales as well. Take care safe journey to you both

Luce Nick! So pleased you're coming to stay....! You say your flight gets in around 12-1pm on Monday. I think the best thing to do would be to get on the Picadilly line from Heathrow and travel to Green Park, then you can change to the Victoria line and get to Victoria (only one stop!) where I work. There's a pub opposite the station called the Shakespeare that's perfectly plesant for a couple of hours or so. My office is about 2 mins away so I can leave at 4 and we can be home by 5! Hope that's ok. Willy's already talking about something to do with football already (yawn).... Let me know if you want any more info.....and stay as long as you like! see you vvvvvv soon! Luce xxxxxxx

TomJones Lads your trip sounds awesome! You should know part of Old Trafford burnt down today.... they were worried about the cups but apparently it was nowhere near the cafeteria! Arent the old ones the best? Of course the danger of trophy damage would be far greater for Fylde B's who have confirmed themselves as league champions! Undefeated! Thats the only thing I could think to report aside from Slothman failing the gallon last week! Highly funny.Take care, TJ x

Ian hey everyone, im currently in nha trang waiting for a connecting bus to saigon so just thought id let you guys know that im okay and tomorrow i should know the actual date ill be home

estelle Ian's mum Hi Ian good to here from you glad you made hanoi ok sounds like you are doing ok and making new friends along the way. Things here are pretty busy united seem to be struggling with injuries and to be honest at this stage of the season we could do without them.Hanoi sounds an interesting place look forward to seeing you miss you lots.Love MumX

Estelle Ian's mum IanJust a short note to say we will be at Grannies this weekend will be going sat morning coming back Sunday night. Hope to hear from you soon. Love Mumx

lucy Well then....hasn't your blog gone posh? hope KL is cool nick, and jonno you're still having fun too! Nick -Willy is reluctant to post a blog in fear of facing ridicule from you about the football....i told him that the blog is not the only place where he's subject to that and it's not always about the football!   I suppose at least I get my Wednesday nights back now....!Going to the zoo tomorrow to see my flamingo - woo! i wonder if i'll be able to spot him...all i know is he's no. 547! i'll put the photo's on my myspace so you can have a look.. www.myspace.com/luceaverytake care guys....just so you're warned - i love the emoticons and will try and get them all into my next message!luce

hybrid alright boysglad you both are still enjoying yourselves (and avery is still seein the sights) shame about the lack of alcohol for the utd game but at least you managed to watch it...i had to work and was gutted!ian - manc is surviving without and the pub quiz team has had a few more victories under their belt so you're have big shoes to fill when you come back! Plus the beer has gone up not once, but twice in price! it's over£2.70 for a kronenbourg (f***in day light robbery!) see ya both soongreg

Nicks Dad Nick great to talk to you yesterday and to hear you are a bit better and able to travel. I hope you have a great time, rememeber my cousin Geoff lived there for yers and his wife was born there so if you need contacts etc let me know. Ian, great pics, so pleased you are getting to the places you had planned. Take care both of you
