Laura (of the Bayliss variety) Hi Alex! Just thought I'd say hello. Some of my mates (yes, my fit female mates) from uni are heading over to Sydney in about a month. Not that that means much to you, but if you bump into any hot english chicks that swear they know you it's probably because they recognise you from the rediculous amount of photos I had plastered over my walls at uni. Hope it's all going well, and how about updating your journal sometime - I need something to entertain me at work! Laura x x x x x x

mike That's alright. Bring it on. I can fight back with my tasteful displays of stereotypical English-isms and overuse of the word "well" you guys seem to love so much. Just kidding. Sydney should be interesting. Hope to see you guys around.

author Yeah i know mate, what an idiot! Mickey your not gonna know whats hit you when you reach bondi beach! If it wound you up last time....you've heard nothing yet! Hope your enjoying Viet..NAM mate! "Who loves you more than i do..eh?? Who loves you more than i do???" etc etc

Woodsy Mikey's missing the Gangster accents?! If he does stop off in Sydney he's gonna regret saying that!!

Luke Have just emailed you mate, according to your map thing you are currently in the middle of the ocean somewhere between australia and new zealand, ive heard its really nice there this time of year.

marco and luca frondella hi alex 4 stars on a shirt italia italia england are disapointing not like the italains least we have 4 years to celebrate 4 stars

katie fron hi alex sorry we haven't written for ages. Your travels sound unbelievable. Just got back from cornwall (st mawes) and enjoyed the rest. We have just got a new computer which marco is well pleased about. I have got ellie staying with us and she's fine. Your mum has now gone on holiday, so get in touch if you need anything! Hope you are well heard you have got a job. Getting luca's uniform today for myton. Went to tim's party and it was good fun. keep up your diary. Love Katie, luigi (four stars), marcol, luca and luisa.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

macado What's up mate? Heard you got well pissed a few times already in Australia and ended up a bit wrecked from Lisa's description. I tell you, it's not the same without you and your wingman throwing the banter around. I'm starting to miss that awesome American italian gangster accent you put on. Really, I didn't think I could miss something so absolutely horrible. Cambodia was a bit of a wash. Ended up drinking a lot with some Irishmen (whoa now, that's a tough stretch already). Met some crazy Dutch guy who hated everyone and smoked a bit too much for his own good. Did the usual tourist things like Angkor Wat, and went to Sihanoukville. Arrived in 'Nam two days ago. An interesting place. 3 weeks or so and i'm headed to New Zealand with a possible stopover in Sydney if you're still living there.

Laura Hey u!! My god have only just found this site thanx to muffster telling it to me via msn! Sounds like you're having a fab time! im very jealous!! but me and laurs will be there in no time!! so when are u planning to come back? want to see u newsome, its been way too long!! so u liked the phi phi island hey? they are fab arent they!! did u go to the monkey island thier and feed them all? and how many buckets did u drink whilst their? my friend has just got back from thai and i gave her money to buy me a big bottle of samsong!! yey!! right well take care u!! miss u xxx

laura of the bradbeer variety just thought i'd check in and say hi, just been catching up on your journals, seems you've been getting lazy! the pics look awesome though. hope you're having a good time in australia. although i am still incredibly jealous, i feel a little better because i'm going on holiday tomorrow! went to gran canaria in june with the uni girls and now off to kefalonia for a week with the boyfriend (hehe, how unlike me is this, jesus!) just had the last week off work too but the weather's been crappy so wasn't impressed, i bet it'll be glorious next week when i'm not there. but it's just been nice to have time of work and stay in bed till lunchtime and not have to worry about deadlines. sarah's been in new zealand with will for the last month and had a really good time, and is now working in a factory on a conveyor belt pulling the stalks out of blueberries and getting the crap off leeks to earn some cash!! and laura is still at the environment agency - not bad for couple of months temporary work that started in feb! i'm still on the shrews chron, they haven't moved me to powys yet! and as you can imagine, life is pretty much as mundane as ever in shropshire, although i was gutted that i couldn't make the tiddly cider festival - again! anywho, take care of yourself and enjoy the ozzie life! laura xxx

weasle face darce winky post some banter, im not impressed with your recent lack of messages, is woodsy slowly taking your message board over? is palace moving in on villa teritory? wheres martin oneil when u need him? hope alls going well mate, life at home is a bit boring- havent lashed for a while im on the old soda water and limes. rugby season has nearly started + am unsure if bath could do any worse than the last couple of seasons but the last thing i need to do is tempt fate. am gonna get myself down to the rec and give the opposition a tirade of abuse- we all need to do our part. have u met any lady boys yet? always check out the adama apple! anyway better go to work hope alls well. take care mate darce
