Hi guys Great photos's, although the 'gondola' is not like those I remember from Venice!! Had a look at Krabi on t'internet , looks a great place ..enjoy. LUFC stuffed Hull 2-1 the other night...reading the sports pages becoming a real pleasure . Nick, have banked some monies for you from the Coach and Skipton, the rebate from the prevous flight booking due this week, willl let you know when it arrives. Take care

First of all, Phil the chances of Liverpool winning the league are up there with you getting off the bottom of the fantasy league. Elaine , good luck in the play, enjoy yourself and remember that if something goes wrong you're to blame! Only joking. Glasgow, There is no way that i would have the balls to knock kym off a boat, and the poor guy that did it probably doesnt have his anymore either! We are in bangkok today just looking to catch a connecting bus down to krabi. Went out for a few drinks with some danes last night and visited the grand palace here but other than that not alot to report except that we are both okay(if not slightly hungover) and that we will update properly when we do so mad stuff. Also i just checked the cricket and see we have reached new levels of embarassment with a 9 wicket 1 day defeat...the world cup is ours!

Ian - You should stay out of the country more, since you have gone the mighty Reds of the Mersey are in touching distance our 1st Premiership!!

Forgot to mention, Forest's performance the other day truely was shambolic. An absolute masterclass in how not to play football. Brilliant. I laughed a lot. I laugh at Cokeham. Where's Jason Lee when you need him?

Alrite lads, Sounds like ur doin well over there, and have quickly established a good site-seeing/beer drinking balance! Good effort on making the thai boxing. Am very worried about the picture that you didnt put up, coz u still look gay in the one you picked. Sounds like ur trekking was pretty sweet altho having seen the way Ian takes to the sun am very surprised that u r not a blistered mess already. Good effort on repeatedly falling into the river though, sounds like the kind of co-ordination we have come to expect from you. Take it easy anyway. p.s. dont know if uv been keepin up with kym and gaz's posts, bt seems like one of their scuba diving coaches managed to knock kym off the boat and into the sea. Im thinking that retribution will be swift and painful for the poor bloke.

Those are some nice pictures you got there, I never knew there were so many red Xs in Thailand. My play starts tomorrow, wish me luck

Alright guys, we should now have a few photos up on the site if you want to check them out, we will update you properly when we get to krabi which may take a couple of days so bear with us until then. Ian p.s. nice to know im not missing anything in the cricket!

Hello boys Glad you are having a good time, weekend in particular sounds excellent! Have printed all your info so Granny can catch-up (sends love by the way) she is coming for a birthday lunch Sunday, John & Marie also. Everything fine here - washed my car at last!! Look after yourselves & take care

just got from lancs for the weekend, and after one too many drinks the spine of murray was lost! we n vinny left them all (well ed, martin and murray) in spoons and by the time he got to the sugarhouse, murray was battered! very very funny seeing him collapsed on the sofas...and thenm plying him with sambuca! the parasite has now got his own 'anti-mcelroy group' on facebook, with more members than the app group! and speaking of said creature the guy worked fri and sat nite and didnt sleep all wkend...on sunday morning he looked worse than usual! as you two have been kept up to date witht eh footy i shall point out that england have been humiliated on numeroud times by new zealand and the aussies in the ODIs, and the real tennis playing murray took nadal to 5 sets in the 4th round...and federer won it eventually.

alright everyone, glad to see your all getting the hang of the message board. delighted to hear about forest cokeham, the european cups thing is so so funny! Dad, i knew you were going to say something about the stepping stones thats why i didnt mention them! Nick says that tom is playing in Charlotte, North Carolina and while we dont know the exact temp here it can be best described as really really hot. Slight groggyness today after last night on the beer but we are booked here till tomorrow so the plan is to figure out where we want to head and get that booked today so i will have to love and leave you guys coz otherwise we are sleeping on the streets(which is arguably still safer than a tuk-tuk! only joking mum!) ian

Hi there glad everything is going well and that you are having a great time. Pleased to hear Ian that you are keeping up the old traditions - do you remember falling off the stepping stones at Martinmere when you were little? Your Mum & I have been painting the hall stairs and landing. We also seem to have acquired a different dog. This one is very similar to the old one and is mostly black, but has a big white stripe down one side (with a hint of pink) and a lot of speckles. And a white bit on the left ear.

Alright boys, Seems like you have been having a great time, good to hear! How many times have you been arrested so far?! Just remember guys that if your having language problems, the way to resolve it is to point and shout in English, and if that doesnt work try the old "smash bottle in face" technique, as many of your English counterparts have done!
