Guess what, when you come home we might have a new Tesco. Sorry about that useless bit of info. Your Mum and I will be pleased. Once again, take care, and enjoy!

Jim Happy Gilmour!! How's it going?! Hope you're enjoying 'The Big T!!' It passes by VERY VERY quickly!! Trust me!! Looks and sounds like you're having a blast anyway!! Take it easy and keep in touch!! Jim!!

Swanny Hi James, Just had a read of your blogs for the first time, and I really wish I'd have come with you, the talk of all the different food is making my belly hurt, and the pictures of the sunshine have forced me to visit Jet2.com and spend my student loan. Glad to hear your enjoying yourself and everything is going according to plan. See you later in the year I should think, if you ever decide to come back. If you go anywhere near Japan, pick me up a nice car. See you soon, Swanny

dave franklin Hi james just been entertaining your parents to yorkshire pudds, chicken, sprouts, carrots, peas etc. all cooked by me - two botles of white wine, just calling them taxi to go home. Hope you having a good time, wish I was with you. See you in the summer - David

Toby (aka Tom Hanks) Hi James, sorry this is a short one, in Ko Samui at the moment and the internet is so expensive but your worth it mate! Looks like your having a wicked time, just been reading your journals. Speak to you soon mate enjoy the rest of your trip

Hannibal Hey m8, just thought id say hi to you seing as though i text you to say that the other day only to have a text conversation with your mum !!

Mum If anyone reading James's journal is surprised to note that he mentions food and eating on a very regular basis, then don't be - I never have been. His love of food belies his size - where it all goes I have no idea. Carry on having a great time - enjoy it all and keep safe. A bientot - love Mum and Dad xx

The EG Loving your entries JG, keep up the wise words and wit! The last one, the 5th, has particularly made me chuckle, especially knowing what those Arctic dance moves would look like! Lol! SOOOOOOO pleased you're having an awesome time! Keep safe dude xxx

Tom Hey Dude, Sounds like you're having a wicked time! I wanna see pics though? Are they there cause I couldn't see any new ones of your travels, though I did like the old one of us at Ritzys, classic! Email us when you have some fancy snaps to show, I look forward to perusing them. I've got a job interview with ITV Sport on the 5th Feb so fingers crossed for that, I'll let you know how it goes. As for tonight it's time for the Arsenal Youth to d*** on the Spurs! Holla! Tom
