smileydolphin When I saw your guitar, I thought ...Strewth mate ...what the hell's going on ?? I know that Pommy Tan Me Well attacks and eats his guitar on stage, but he gets paid for it !!!!!! Anyway, Twanger T the mentalist can see you have really enjoyed your Antipodean trip mate, and as you make your way back to blighty, you'll be glad to hear, that nothing has changed ...their still selling 4X and Koko Koalas in the shops. See you soon

A-M-E-Y You need to change the map of where you are seeing as you aren't even in Australia anymore and also change the answerphone message on your phone as it's still me saying "This is Amey's phone".....bit confusing!! x

AMEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice pics, tell thingy not to pout so much though - blue steel overload!! xxxx

carol Penders Hiya Robs..just enjoyed viewing another great set of photos. That poor guitar..are you bring it home for the memories now? N-one would buy it now thats for sure!...still many a good tune and all that..! I wonder if you have been inspired to write more great songs whilst you been travelling..Cant wait to hear you playing around the house again. I can see you have met another great set of friends. Enjoy the rest of your time there with them Love Mums! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

smileydolphin Hi mate, when Twanger T heard you were jumping, a smile broke out on my face .... let a banjo plucker loose in OZ/NZ and boy is he like a roo on heat. When I heard it was BUM G jumping with piles of elactic rope attached to your feet , I thought strewth mate .... YOU MUST BE NUTS !!!!! Just cos you been drinking too much 4X ....climbed a little glacier ...now you think you can fly !!! Anyway Carol said I should look at the photos ... so after dialling in the AJHN 666 blah blah number, which was about 134 metres long ...Twanger T felt like jumping into the river too. Looking at yer pomme photos and the grimace on yer face ..I can see that you were worried about the G forces on yer bum ...no wonder they call it BUM G jumping. Strewth, I bet your voice is an octave higher now, cos eveything has been arranged. Now cobber Rob, they tell me your are snow hoarding ... bit extreme isn't it ...I know you've got a drought in limey land, but steady on mate. Well Twanger T has had too many 4 X ... strewth standin in this snow ... bit cold ...Ahhhhhhhhhhhh ...that's better ...Oohhhppps hope Rob doesn't hoard this snow :-):-) Take care.

Amey More pictures Rob!!

Amey and Valerie Just seen your bungy pics. You are mad! x

smileydolphin MOUNTAIN MAN Hi Pomme Granite Rob, nice to see that your are discovering the rugged mountain spirit at the The Franz Josef, with your new found friends. Not a bad pub if Phillys like that are around. Twanger T found that spirit too, got his ice cubes from The Mont Blanc ... Gin and Tonics went down well after that. He was too trolleyed to move onto The Mount Everest ...ended up at some dive called Bug & Fetish :-):-) Oooooooooooooooo...those Crampons ...no wonder the Shielas hate them. So you took those all the way to the Southern Hemisphere ...you must be nuts mate !!!! Nice to see you wielding Axes, Heavy Metal ones I bet they are too !!!! Well a plucking good mountaineer like you has gotta have an Axe, wherever he is. God rest Les Paul on a mountain top, says Twanger T. Hope the mountain top views are inspiring you ... bet the Coffe has never tasted so good. Anyway, hope you did not get any rope burns on your Carabiener. Take care. Twanger T P.S. Why do you always look soooooooooooo *&%£$%! good in your photos

Amey Hello Hello! Love the new pictures.....everyone looks great! We are flying home on Thursday! Woooooooooooooo! See you soon, have fun snowboarding, don't be too cool! xxxx

valerie Hi Rob Amey told me to look at your website for new pics, so here I am. You do "camp" so well - quite worrying. You are obviously having a great time and have met some really nice people - really pleased. The glacier climb looks amazing. Keep the pics coming.

valerie Hi Rob Just checked you website for an update!!! Had a really good evening in Winchester with your mum, Emma's and Millie's - all missing our various offspring. Hope things are better for you now in NZ - who needs friends like that anyway. No doubt you have met loads of new people now and won't look back. Look forward to hearing about your adventures. Lots of Love. V and J

AMEY!!!! Bonjourno!! Hows N.Z, cold and snowy from the last update but being in Franz Josef surely snow is a good thing.....not sre if you've done you're glacier climb yet but Franz Josef gets the most rain in that part of the South Island, we got taught that on our climb, so enjoy!! How awesome is the 15 person hottub in Franz though??!! Anyways, thought you were goign to put pictures up??? I was looking forward to seeing you in makeup.........hope you're enjoying yourself lots and lots....miss you!! Big Hug xxx

carol Penders Hi Robs How is life in N.Z. now? Glad you got your camera,,,,look forward to seeing those pics real soon now !!! What dare devil adventures are you planning now? Lots of love Mummy!! xxxxxxxx

smileydolphin Saw the pink vans and the clapped out ol guitar photos ...thought WOW !!!! Rob is sessioning for PINK: www.pinkspage.com/uk However, taking a closer look at the photos ... INSIDE the vans ...God those roadies ...always leave one hell of a mess !!!!! Now about digging holes ...you need a Roo ... and DO NOT DRINK lots of cans of 4X ... Twanger T tried it ...drank too much 4X ...dunno why, but my hole kept on filling up ...me thinks it was the seawater :-):-) Sorry to hear your Pomme mates had hoofed it once you arrived in New Zealand, but there is plenty to do on the South Island ...give the North a quick breeze through ....it is like being back in good ol UK and at this time of year it is COLD and LOTS OF RAIN. Anyway, do lots of HONGI whilst in NZ :-):-) and we are looking forward to hearing some Maori love songs, when you get back. Carol keeps on trying to escape from Eastleigh - before you get back. She has been looking at a Penthouse ... or is it Andy :-):-) Ka kite ano Twanger T

Amey Hello!!! Hope you are having fun on the Kiwi Bus (we are horrendously jealous, however we can't really complain, being in Thailand and all!!) We are really sorry about Sean being such a gay and not waiting for you in Christchurch, that's really not on but make sure that it doesn't spoil it for you - you'll meet so many people I promise, just wip out the Guitar and they'll come flooding! Don't forget to buy a camera, even if yu can't get a digital one just buy a normal one because even though you won't get pics on here, you need to have them for the memories which is much more important! Another suggestion would be make sure you are in EVERYONES pictures and then use there memory stick to get picstures up - everyone's a winner!! Must go now but lots of love and hugs, have fun and be confident!! Love Amey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
