hey guys,
Sorry we havent posted in a few days, we have had a few problems to sort out. We were due to get into Koh Tao to do our diving courses (this is where we are currently residing) and then the ferry we were booked on got cancelled due to a storm, which delayed us by a day or do, following this nick has found due to his asthma that he cant take the diving course and then his malaria pill has completely knocked him for 6 and he spent most of yesterday asleep (nothing new to either his parents or anyone who knows nick as im pretty sure its his favourite hobby) and he is not so good today. He did manage to catch the sun on the way over aswell and now looks like hes been tango-ed.
Both dads- Looks like a mild upturn in fortunes for the whites, perhaps if you can get poyet playing in your team rather than coaching you might pick up a few more points! Still i suppose a win against palace is a decent result.
Charlotte- Glad to see you've found the board, you are now oficial united score representative. Hows things and has yours and dannys love blossomed yet? Its a matter of time and you know it!
Cokes- Avery's face was simply glorious, as he was clearly quite shaken by the whole thing, almost as shaken as we were when we went to see forest against Brentford and saw wes morgan stepovering his way through the centre of the pitch!
Mum- Sorry didnt get to speak to you on your birthday, sounds like it was enjoyable. Elaine gave me a brief update on things when i spoke to her so i know whats going on with that. Hope your all okay and if you decide that you fancy painting my room as well while im away, please consult me first!!
Aiden- Photos are easy to find, just click on my photos from the main page, looking through you can probably guess which ones averys were.
Jimbo- What you think about Pearce as under 21s boss? As for the lack of goals, i think its pretty obvious that you are missing david james's presence up top and that Samaras and Corradi couldnt hit a barn door with a banjo.
Not alot to report so i will update properly when we have somemore stuff to talk to you guys about. Until then, love you longtime,
Ian

Lads,
Trip sounds bloody great. Jonno I would have given anything to see the look on Avery's face once he realised it was some little Thai guy with a puppet tickling his leg not a shark- brilliant!!!! I was jealous with all the beaches, booze and Lady (boys) but that is just priceless.
Glad to see u scorin goals in foreign climes Avery, always knew u would be a success on the continent. Maybe the unphysical Thai approach to the game is conducive to ur girly style of 'hanging around the goal' but i'm sure it was a belter (and I hope it was celebrated with ur patented African jig).... Jonno good to know that no frills heading and kicking is as effective over there as it is here.
All quiet here, The glory reds beat Northampton at the wkend to put a smile back on my face and the promotion charge back on track. Ian's probably right, with us playing so well and Leeds sporting an attacking force of Ian Moore and Tresor Kandol, we won't be playing them next season!
Cokes
P.S- Cheers for the tip on getting the photos working Allanah. Ive printed them all off and put them in a special scrapbook.....
Nicks Dad
Hi guys ,
Great story about the shark .. have to say panic runs in our family ..I would have done the same ..in fact I would have got a boat to the shore in the first place !! Great photos too, looks like you have found an ideal spot to 'rest' in.
As you have seen in Ians Dads msg .. LUFC won again, things are hotting up in the depths of the Championship ..we shall overcome..the other good thing is we won't have to play the Ents ( Sorry James the Trees) next season if we keep on like this!
Where are you headed next? ..are you still planning on Vietnam at some point?
Take care and keep the updates coming
ps ..Msg for Nick ... I have banked the remaining monies from the aborted earlier trip... Enjoy!
Ian's Dad
Hi glad you are enjoying the culture but thought you might also want to know the important football results:-
Leeds 2 C Palace 1 - still alst but only 3 points off QPR in 19th so looking a bit better
County 1 Mansfield 0 - 6 wins in a row without conceding a goal for Jim Gannon's Blue & White Army, now very comfortable in 6th place and a play off spot.
Chelsea 3 Boro 0
W Ham 0 Watford 1
Portsmouth 2 Man City 1
Sheff U 2 Spurs 1
Everton 1 Blackburn 0
Newcastle 2 Liverpool 1
Leigh 0 Harrogate Town 2
and Man u 2 Charlton 0
Ian when you get a mo can you please e-mail your copy documents as the ones we had saved went missing when the hard drive failed.
Take care

Charlotte F
He-eeey!
First time iv been on here, not read it all but certainly less culturally minded than kym and gaz, they keep goin on about visitin all these places iv never heard of and cant pronounce. Glad you're still alive, whack on that factor 50, iv got pics of Tenerife Ian and it isnt pretty - you were bubbling!
United beat Charlton 2-0 today, Park and FLETCHER (oh yes, Fletcher??? must hav taken somet before the game).
We keep winnin the quiz aswell so ur absence is certainly helping!
Take Care both of u (even tho i dont know Avery!)

Alright fellas,
Good to hear the trip is going so well, it almost makes me jealous while im sat revising in my room and not having the time to have a proper snowball fight! Avery, i feel for you mate, i would have crapped myself if something grabbed me underwater as well! i feel that you boys are not being kept up to date on events at Eastlands so here it is...we aint scored a goal since news year day, we are 15th, and looks like preston are going to beat us in the cup! im sure you will be glad to hear all that!
Take care fellas
Jim
Aidan
Arlight lads,
Will you be putting any photos up soon?
Aidan
Catherine (Nick's Mum)
hello nick & ian
good to speak to you last weekend nick - you sound as if enjoying yourselves and having seen the excellent photos I fully understand why - so jealous! From the messages posted appears I'm not the only one feeling that way.
Take care and think of us here shivering in UK!
Estelle ( Ians Mum)
Hi Ian & Nick
Just seen your photos they are brilliant just makes me even more sick that I am not there! You look great Ian then I am your mum so I think you always look great! Is that Nick just coming out of the water tell him to be careful there might be a shark in there somewhere! (shark infested waters!) Well enjoy yourselves I can see that you are.
Love MumX ps take care
Alannah
Well actually ian it turns out you're not the only one my dad has been joking with recently, they didn't have any snow!
It's still causing chaos here, and various other places i believe.
Yes I have indeed got season 5, but I'll be at home this weekend so will bring it back for you Elaine!
Unfortunately I don't have any footballing results/anecdotes/jokes etc for you, sorry.
Alannah x
