Alright J sorry I haven't been on for a while, looks like you're having a brilliant time, keep up the car mechanics, one day you might want to buy a scimitar and it could come in handy..Diving sounds quality, do you get a qualification with that as well? The weather is starting to show signs of getting nicer, in between the bouts of snow we've been getting up here. You're really missing out, there is also a diving course on every wednedsay evening at Leeds Grammar, the fish are amazing and I suppose if you get comfortable in the pool you can get out for a day trip to dive in the Manchester Ship Canal. Tropical. I went out the other day to go sledging with a couple of guys from up here and managed to get a load of pikeys follow us to the park and start a fight with us! Nothing really came of it, no one got hurt but we had to get the police out; on a sunday afternoon. One of them was filming them throwing snowballs at us with a mobile so I think I officially got happy slapped, something else to go on the CV..How long are you staying in Oz for, what are your plans out there? I'm envious. I might set up a parallel 'off exploring' site in Leeds so you can see the exotic lifestyle going on here. Actually we had a fly past of 4 tucanos go over school this morning to celebrate the visiting of an old boy who is now in the RAF. I took my class out and they were almost touching wings, about 100ft up. Highlight of my day..apart from suspending a kid in my form for hitting someone in the neck. Anyhow, keep up the good work on the site, it's looking amazing, say hi to Alex too. Have a brilliant time, tom.

Hi Jamie. Sue mailed me the details of your website today so I've enjoyed having a look (though Granny had filled us in fairly comprehensively over the weekend - what stuck in mind was the leech story). This instant communication is great - I had a school friend who had a gap year in South America, didn't phone home for a few weeks and her parents had Interpol looking for her. No danger of that now. Sue thinks you're about to hit Cairns - hope you love Far North Qland as much as we did. Amanda

Hi Jamie - good to see you're having a good time.... I had a year off before Uni and look wot it did for me! My dad cleared my bedroom too and carted off all my precious football annuals off to the charity shop [ we didn't have FHM in those days!!] - I was well pleased when I found out.. some off them were signed copies and worth a fortune - my little nest egg down the drain.
Forget wot yer Dad says about taxi's - its those lady boys you want to look out for... they don't call it Bangkok for nothing!! Thats free medical advice too! As for beer - make sure you drink plenty if they're going to charge you for them anyhow! By the way ...any chance of making the font size bigger on those post - cards... a myopic old git like me is sruggling to read them - I got eye strain.Might have to consult Claims Direct for some compo!Take care ...good advice ...as your dad would say. Cheers for now - Uncle Dave.
