Hi Bollyknickers. Any sign of 80's un-p.c. stuff in Argie Bargie?? Gene Genie.

Hi Lynne, Justin has a few questions re swallow I will pass them on! Sounds like you are having brill time and look forward to the photos. Volcanos and rapids sound great just a lost city or 2 to discover now. Dont worry about us we are struggling through all the best. Rich

Hello: good news / bad news: I have discovered the Bombay King!! its 20 seconds away from my house and Im now paying for several of the waiters children to go through uni and the owners just bought a boat!..... bad news... I have done some reading, ok I watched the discovery channel...... ok ok it may have been a cartoon however I have discovered that your plan to work with big lions and stuff has a floor, apparently they can be rather dangerous!!... I cant beleive you didnt know that, the cartoon said, they only lick your face after they have attacked..... its not to late to come back. There is an office chair with your name on it........ nice view of a roundabout..eh eh?!... have fun, dont whatever you do carry raw meat in your pocket when you arrive at the big cat thing.... tip for the day

Hi Lynne - Very, very envious, especially about the Volcano trip! Cannot imagine who sent you the message from "the bombay king"?! Looking forward to seeing 'photos of your adventure. Look after yourself. Helen

Hi Lynne...sounds like you're already having a fantastic time!! Volcano trip sounded great, not so sure about the rapids!! Bath Half Marathon is this Sunday, I take it you won't have missed it??! Catch you later...Toni

The climb up the volcano sounds fab. May be harder but I bet it was not as surreal as the trip up Adams Peak ! Sounds like you're having a fantastic trip and it's only just started

Did Nic mention the rugby result....

missis thorn, glad your having lovely time but takings down 50% since you gone, please please come back, free bahji if you do !

Hi Lynne - you are missing nothing here - 1 x major per week and your "last effort" still rumbles with regards the funding. Love the sound of the Volcano climb not quite so sure about the sledging but do hope to see the photo's at some point. Enjoy the sunshine its wet and wild here and some sunshine would be lovely! Have fun Sue

Great to see you are enjoying yourself, seems fun, even if a bit painful. Still you are not missing much here except the jokes. so to keep you smilling here's the latest!!!
