Day 105 (Wednesday 31st January 2007)

Marc was up at 05:45 to watch the live West Ham v Liverpool match, followed by the Pompey v Boro' match. Unlucky Hammers, but fair play to Kepo Blanco who ever the hell he is??? He nearly fell back to sleep watching the Pompey game!

Meanwhile Sarah awoke and took the ute out to see our friend Jay. Marc spent one more day convelessing at home and finally, at long last got the whole website back up-to-date!

For tea Marc sampled his first portion of 'Silverside', some Aussie equivalent to corned beef, with mash and baked beans (yes it was drenched in tomato sauce) and Sarah wouldn't return home until 03:00!

PS Put that parcel down Kiki!! Thanks for the advise sis...next time we dice with death we'll keep it to ourselves ok?!!

Day 106 (Thursday 1st February 2007)

Cardiff here we come!!

Despite not hearing the alarm go off and missing the first 85-minutes, Marc got to see his beloved boys fire themselves into the Carling Cup final, after an absorbing encounter at the Emirates.

He turned on the tv to see Mido smash in the equaliser and force extra-time with only five minutes left on the clock. Just like the Man Utd game last week it was all doom and gloom for a while before Aliadiere, a veteran of the Arsenal young guns at 23, smashed home after Rocha's shambolic attempt to clear.

Then it was delirium as Rosicky this time waltzed his way around the Portugese clown to seal our date with the Chelsea scum in the final...he should miss the start of games more often! Poor old Spurs and yes Monty and Dizzee, he does hope you were watching!!!! How good are Arsenal at the moment!!!!

Sarah eventually crawled out of bed after her late night and along with Wendy and Cameron, we hit Australia Zoo for the day (www.australiazoo.com.au). We visited the famous 'crocoseum' and paid our respects at the Steve Irwin memorial...RIP the legend!

The highlight of the day had to be the enormous Galapagos tortoises. One rather nimble old boy, probably about 150-years-old, 'tortoise' the secret of becoming the longest living creature on the planet...hop on your girlfriend's shell and hump her in the face!!

He wobbled his whole 20-stone dinner table-sized body into it too and his deafening groans of ecstasy probably startled a few marine iguanas in his homeland in the Galapagos Islands. His poor victim bless her; took it on the chin, before it took two strong zoo keepers to pull the randy reptile off! We caught the whole incident on tape...£250 right now please fat 'Dingle' women!!

PS Dan 'The Gay Boy' Massey (whoops sorry mate have we just outed you?) thanks for your message you big lesbian! Lovin' Queensland and lovin' the Mountain Dew!!!!

Louise thank you for your message! Good to hear from you! Sarah won't be rushing to her job just yet, but when she does you will be the first to know!

Dazza superb to hear from you old chap! Take care of little Theo, that's a future Spartans legend in the making their mate!!

As for you Monty, well better late than never old bean! Best of British you weirdo...
