Mike,

You are now all grown up and have massive eyebrows. Which is both strange and reassuring all at the same time.

Yo yo yo! A small 'soccer' update. Watford have been relegated. Liverpool beat Wigan and Arsenal only drew with Tottenham so we are clear third. United drew with Middlesbro and Chelsea play Newcaslte tongith so that makes the whole title race more exciting...can you tell I'm being diplomatic for when Mum logs in? Will you get to watch the Champion's League semi on Wednesday? Me and Rob going to the Flooker's but it won't be our lucky table without you. Boo hoo! Have you found yourself an Andi McDowall yet (with better hair and a less square face?) Love ya!

Howdee!!! Seen Martin's blog update on Boston...Sounds brill!!! How is the money situation? Are you able to withdraw cash from HSBC? Let us know asap and if not, Mum will 'kick ass' tomorrow (Monday). By the way we can't find the phone card code bumph that you asked Mum to find in your room... Sorry. Speak soon.

oh my word this just gets better and better! what a lot of photos of the statue of liberty! one word of advice, try not too look so mortified/embarrassed when you are having your picture taken in front of tourist attractions! you are a tourist after all!

PS have you found yourself yet?

Sensational dude, we all miss you here, the quality of journalism is the Leader has plummeted as has the level of joy on Fiday nights.
Hope you're having a great time.

I think I've done it wrong and attached a message to a wholly inapproppriate photograpgh so that won't make any sense. It was a comedy jibe at the fact that you would order a totally gay 'small salad' in the land of plenty. Everyone would've laughed too! I put you up on the whiteboard in my class today. No takers from the underage ladies of Bebington yet, but it can't be long. Miss ya little bro, you lucky, lucky boy (and you Martin, you afterthought!). Take care and eat some proper food gaylord!

Loving the pictures, Mr. Youds. A career in travel journalism beckons.

In Joe News: I handed in my notice.

In neighbours news: Stingray and Rachel split up. Lolly got suspended and went to see some Australian celebrity loser. Steiger's daughter pulled a sickie to see the same celebrity. He was having lunch at Lassiters, the choice of champions. Meanwhile, under Bree's devious instruction, Susan gave Karl a list of chores to do but he just got drunk with Dylan in the garden. I believe that was the comedy plotline for the day.

Keep us updated and enjoy yourselves. I hope Martin is feeling jealous because I only posted on your blog. Haha! The power.

Keep it real.

Hi Mike and Martin, You are making me very jealous it sounds and looks amazing!!! All the best and we are all disliking you back here (not really). My Mother has let me know about your blog so will pass it on to the guys in the Yacht - when it opens!! Sue they will keep you updated about the bad and exciting nights back in the Yacht!! Enjoy fellers!!! Gem x

Ha, you think thats good, I sat and watched Panorama last night then went to bed and this morning got up and went to work which is where I am now. Think of me whilst you are sipping cwoffee on the siiiidewaaallk. God I am sooooooooo jealous!!!

Thanks for the blog update. (Checking out your site gives me something to do at work - is that why you call me Homer??). How cold is it? Meant to be warming up to 20C by Saturday (and possibly snowing in the UK!!).
