Hi everyone.

I'd just like to propose a minute's silence in memory of the late great Crocdile Hunter himself, Steve Irwin. He's f***in ruined my trip to Sydney Zoo.
Seriouskly though Mand is really in mourning. She wants to know whats going to happen to Terri and the baby now. Dear God.

Anyway. Sorry Stubes and Kate, and Len & Chris for the f*** up that was last night. I'm sure we'll get it right next week if you (and/or) anyone else can make it. 4pm though you crazy Heatons, not 4pm. I don't know, some people :o)

Not much else to report really. I've put the DMZ tour, a brief history of the US entering the war (stop yawning), and Hue on the postcard board, so that should be enough for anyone who's still reading them.

If anyone sees johnny, can they please ask him for his work phone number, to set up a reliable email address, and to ask him if he's picked up his birthday present from my mum's house yet. Oh yeah, and his address (provided he's not NFA again). Thankyou.

Talking of birthdays, I'm not sure of the date but I think we just missed yours Kate. Really really sorry hun, but HAPPY REALLY LATE BIRTHDAY! WOO HOO!!!

If anybody wants to send us their birthdays (Laura, Kate, Ange and Rachel especially) we'll do our best to send cards etc. Oh yeah, we'll also need addresses. I wouldn't post them on here though, you wouldn't want Johnny finding out, so email them and all will be cool.

And finally, here's a scary thought. well it was for us. We need to send our Xmas presents home now, otherwise they won't get there in time. So yuletide greetings everyone.

Take care, missing you a lot more than the England team misses Beckham

We're on our way mate, having a few technical difficulties!

Johnny is that you online now?

they're pigs you know

pinky and perky

Andy, Kims, Laura,

hello guys!!! Missing you already. Hotmail isn't working at the mo so can't mail you. Hope the bus trip was o.k. and you managed to get some sleep. Laura, hope you weren't sat next to a fat dude.

Found out today that if you hire the sunbeds from the Sailing club the beach hawkers aren't allowed within 15ft of you. Doh, wish i'd known that a week ago. Haven't been out on the boat scuba diving yet as they cancelled on us today but will hopefully get out tomorrow. Have to be ready for 7.30am though?? What does that look like? All went well in the pool training sesions but I imagine it's completely different out in the open waters. Oh well as long as there aren't any trigger fish.

We also went to that seafood restaurant i've been wanting to go in ever since we arrived and it was gorgeous!!

So we want the lowdown on Saigon - where to stay etc and the best bars.

Anyways, take care and we'll catch up with you in Indonesia or something xxxx Love you poppets xxxxxx c u soon

Hey Stubles!
Is Katie going to be in on Sunday? I sure hope so xxx Can't wait 'chat' to yous either but I think the general rule of thum is that there needs to be more than 15 for a party otherwise its just a gathering. Glad we cleared that up.

Anyways - my hotmail isn't working at the mo so can't send messages but will try again tomorrow xx Love you more than I love lobster (we had lobster for dinner tonight by the way. It was gorgeous and cost about 3GBP) xxxxx Check you tomorrow. And don't push yourself too hard at the fottie, I don't want you going home to the lovely Kate with a strained anything!! xxx

G'day lovelies, how's your bums for lovebites? (dodgy scottish thing...)

Everything looks great as usual, pictures would have been better if Neil was in a baggy pair of black pyjamas and a Kalashnikov but hey ho!
Lovin' the postcards bruv, I can see now how useful 'Tour of Duty' is to me in terms of visualising what you guys are seeing! Have to start calling you two Bill Byrson and Judith Chalmers before long though. Neil, you did sound like you plagurised all my schooll history books in one lump, punctuated by the odd 'what the f***'! Good stuff fella.
Thanks for the explanation to the bullet hole/ sh** pile thing though, it was bugging me.
Glad to hear you are fairly abreast with the season thus far as well mate, but have you heard that Andy Cole has joined the communist revolution at fratton park with a couple of other foreign chappies, 11 in now....and Toddy is off to Wigan for a while?....What the f***?!?!?!

All ok with us, accepted an offer on the villa thing so that would be a result, Katie's got loads of info on the teaching thing so it looks like that might be an option for next September if there aren't any little Stueys or Katies nipping at the ankles and draining the bank account (there aren't yet by the way), and we booked a week in Taba on the Red Sea for a couple of weeks time for some quality beach time and some diving which is now well needed.
Got the footie tournament tonight that I organised for work which should be a giggle, if not painful, so if you don't here from me for a while you can reach me at QA :(
I will try and get on for a chat this Sunday kids, this will be the first weekend I haven't worked in 4 so Sunday will be recovering from the footie and the England game and as much as my body may not want me to, I'm sure I can get off the sofa and onto the PC! I'm not Tone after all!!

Carry on having a blast you crazy cats and can't wait to 'chat' on Sunday. If everyone logs on with a few beers, does that class as a party?? Answers on a postcard...

Hello Irish Boys,

how you doing? Important things first 'put em back on ya'. So hows it going? Who's winning? Connor you even off the score board yet? How long you boys got left? I guess Mick your gunna have to back at school soon =( AAaagggh. That really is a scary thought. Anyways, just wanted to say hi and let you know we haven't forgotten about you. Long boat trips just aren't the same without you lot downing bottles of whiskey, singing for a couple of hours, then falling asleep whilst dribbling on yourselves, each other or the poor stranger who happens to be sat next to you. Oh the good old days!

Check you later. Shocking xxxx Mands

P.S. Charlie - whats the address of that website of yours? The one with all the shocking pics xxx

Hey you guys!

Finally got to grips with modern technology. I've put the wedding pics of the lovely Mr and Mrs Heaton on my photos website for you all to enjoy.

Mand I'll upload the rest next week.

Hope you're enjoying the diving.
Love you loads
Amy

Howdy peeps

I finally finished putting Hanoi on the postcards. They've all been re-ordered, amended and renamed just to confuse anyone whose already read any of them. I messed up the days again and ended up one short. Grrrrr

Other than that not much to add.

Nic - Your housemate was always a bit weird though to be fair. Have you thought about suffocation (I suggest while she's sleeping) and a quiet burial under the patio. Loves ya hun, take care xxxxxxx

Cami - good to hear from you hun. I'll be back in 2 weeks, so don't worry ;o) Not sick opf the palm trees yet. How's the wedding plans coming along? Take care sweetie, speak soon xxxxxxx

Everyone else - be cool y'all (Just watched starsky & Hutch) missing you like West Brom miss the Mighty Kanu xxxxxxxxxxx

P.S. sorry about the last lot of photos. I know there was no explanation or description on them and the only excuse is that I am slack. What else can I say. Will be putting some more on there tonight once Kimbers, And and Laura have left. xxxxx
