'2nd tattoo of the trip' you've got 2 tatts now?!!! what of? x

ha ha ha, i remember similar scooter rides with grubba, rain, mud, big drops....the only difference is that when we came to the first bit of mud or big drop grubba would start crying out for his mum and we always had to turn back straight away....there was this one hill in Ko Phang Nang (home of the full moon party that you must attend) where he spent 1/2 hour trying to get up cos he was too scared to go downhill fast enough to come back up the other side.....bless him....let me know if you took any of my advice! xxx

mmm 5 + 2 ?

You didn't answer my more noodles or rice question...i forgave you yesterday so no hard feelings.

I like the blogs, lots of detail, hope it lasts and if you need any help with better jokes then you know where i am....

I really what to send this now but it wont let me until i solve the following sum 3+1....its not very user friendly....i solve this correctly and you readily receive this message...x

I rec'd your card many thanks and had a very nice birthday.Mum and I went to Paris for Lunch and then spent the rest of the day taking in the sights. We got home at about 10-15pm and I have had the rest of the week off as holiday.

We drew 1-1 at the weekend . We were 1-0 up at half time then Ricky brought down one of their players in the box and got sent off. They equalised from the resultant penalty. We held out for the remaining 35 mins to secure the point and are now 7th in the table.Hope you enjoyed Hong Kong and Mum thinks you are probably now on your way to your next destination. Let us know when you get there. Zola seems favourite for Hammers job.

Take care Dad.

Loving the story of the Dutch Olympic park, hahah the Dutch rule!!!

The best one is Olly, he wants to go into investment banking and has resigned from Arch without any other job in the pipeline, a brave move!! But good luck to himOsborn is relocating to Australia, and Sandy left because she hates William….She move to the Watkins Syndicate (3 months gardening leave)Hahah There making Olly work all his 3 months….. Thus, Rob has been promoted to Terrorism Underwriter with Laura as his assistant And Stacey Munton will join the Marine team to work with Ashley.So a mad week in all.Keep the stories coming sirYOU ARE THE MAN

Hi Nick

Get blogging!

Couldn't find this on the website address you left - kept getting "cannot find this web address" - correct contact is: www.statravelblogs.com/nickrugg/ - just in case others can't find it either.

We're all fine.

Hope to hear of your travels soon.

Mum x
