Sarah Ha ha, again chuckled out loud having a catch up on your blog. I have now e-mailed the link to most of my work colleagues so they don't think I'm completely mad anymore. Just the thought of Long Island Ice Tea makes me want to hurl..........still.............after 9 whole years!!!!!!! Very excited (and skint!!!) that I've now booked my tickets. See you soon!! S xxxx

Jill Hi Kelv, havent been able to log onto your blog for a while so was good to ctach up on your travels! Again made me laugh out loud - shall we send a section to lonely planet to launch your career change. Wine tasting - all that practise in the "Union" with Em! We'll think of you at Beth's christening. Take Care Bird Love Jill x

leighochaye Good evening Europe. This is Fife calling with our scores.... "Fry up, drank beer" - we will try to re-enact this on 30th May/1st/2nd June "Cat beast that lived on top of the tv" - did it wink @ you tho??? "Drink tea, eat cake" - instead of bungee jumping out of a helicopter? "Waved at a seal" - aw, bless special Thorpy "Olives" - there is hope for you yet - that jar in Villa Yvonne will be there next time we visit .... "Thomas The Guide" - jeez, he looks like he'd break in two if a wind got up! "Wine tasting" - I've never seen you drink vino Thorpy - you're going all lady like on us! And those are the scores from Fife. Apart from to say, top blog work Thorpy, we're all very proud of you. HOWEVER. There isn't ONE photo of Quimmie yet. Now THAT is disappointing. Did she even make it to the airport?!

leighochaye Ok, so it won't let me type a really mild sweary word..... B.a.s.t.a.r.d.s.

Leighochaye This site asks you to solve a fecking sum before you can post ... b******s. THORPY! Check YOU out with your big Paris Hilton Sunnies!! Top work bint, top work. am just off to read latest postings and view latest photos - will be back with my scores on the doors afterwards.... Leighochaye xxxxxxxx

Jenny Hi Thorpy As expected, I hadn't looked at your blogg for a while, but we're having a "we are really missing Thorpy" night tonight, so I thought I'd log on - now I really am missing you! Looking forward to the next update, hope the white water rafting went OK - got to go and change a nappy - exciting..... Love you x
