Greetings from Middle-Earth!!! New Zealand, New Zealand actually, where myself and Andrew are working on the fourth in the trilogy...... The Return of the Queens!!!! We have been working on scripts for the film adaptation of our World Tour TM. "Staring Morgan Freeman as Mark, and Mr T as Andy. Guest staring Clint Eastwood as Dale, and Arnold Schwarzenegger as that guy in that place." Sorry we found it all hilarious!!!!! Have arrived safely in Auckland where we were greeted by friendly welcomes and signs saying "Lions supporters make yourselfs 100% at home!! Just had a wander round yesterday and a couple of beers, a couple of free sausage butties and some v nice chinese food! We are just planning our trip to Whangerei on the bus or by getting a lift from Jim, this lad we met in LA. We are both ok and even more stupid as ever, we tried to spot resemblnces with people we know from the airline safety card yesterday, found me, my Dad and Warney, oh and a woman with one leg!! Hope everyone is ok and doing well, speak to you all soon, lots of love from Mark and Andy and Gandalf and the boys!!!! "BILBO BAGGINS!!!!!!"

Marky, Andy,
Hope you are both good and not too sun burnt or wet from Fiji 's (or your mums first spelling Figi) storms !! saw the storms on the Celebrity Love Island show , I only watch it wating to see if you and Andy run behind the presenters on the beach with a placard saying hello mum !!!, Be good to talk, when you get to NZ and find a phone that works. Gerrad's made it, he is really famous now he is on the front page of your mums OK magazine.
Whats the food like in Fiji, people sound nice, plenty of fish and fresh fruit I guess, no kebab shops. Hows the hair, been to hot and had it cut yet ! Lucy is moulting like mad at the moment enough hair to fill and make a cushion with, must be the hot weather, like wearing a fur coat in the sunshine. Went on Archery coahing course Saturday to be told we are having a break July August, when the course will resume in September for get this another 12 months !!! must be mad. Good news re your early return home date, anyway will sign off now, watch out for coconutsfalling from great heights they hurt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love dad XXXXXXXXX take care both of you

Yo!!! Gud to hear from Bezwin and Macey, hi to Dave aswell! Sounds gud about your trip Bez, you'll have a grand old time!!! We r still in Fiji, bin out to Yasawas islands, Naviti. Really nice local island hardly anyone there, had a welcoming song when we got off the water taxi from the big boat - food was nice and people amazing!! Spent much of the time in hammocks looking at the sea! Back in Nadi now, prob gonna be leaving Fiji earlier than planned - New Zealand sounds too tempting!! Hope everyone is well, love to all, Mark and Andy.

Hello Son, Hope you are having a fab time, its a shame we can't get to speak to you re the problems with the phone lines, there's a mad dash for the phone each time it rings in case its "me'andy"... but hopefully you are both fit and well and enjoying the Fijian vibe!!! I have joined JJB and having been going 4 times a week!!! well, for the two weeks I've been joined I have been... Its really good, been going to 3 classes a week and a workout and swim at the weekend, haven't seen any bodily results yet... do you think I need to cut out alcohol and chocolate to see any results..? Your Dad and I are off the see the Beautiful South at Delamare Forest on Saturday, really looking forward to it, one of my favourite groups as you know, plus the weather is suppose to be good (cold and rainy at the moment...). Well must go, time to go to the gym... Take care, hope to speak to you soon.

Lots of love. Mum XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx

Hello from the big red dot in the middle of the Pacific!! Weather has been a bit grim, patchy spells of rain and sun, have taken part in not one but two Kava Ceremonys and both bought a shark's tooth each??? Have been watching lots of the Rugby, drinking/eating, the usual really!! Sorry for the lack of phone calls (or none for that matter!) it has been really dificult to get any sort of a connection out here. Hope everyone is ok,

Take Care,

Andy and Markxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Me again, just noticed I have spelt Fiji wrong in my previous message, and you know how I am about spelling Mark, i before e except after c and all that, so just had to rectify that one!! Take care love you lots MumXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hi there boys, well I am really jealous now, Figi, watch out for the those Celebs on the Love Island, new arrival now Nicky (playboy pin up) from LA I think she said! I am sure you are both looking forward to a nice chill out after the journey up to Anchorage. NZ is looming now. Enjoy the sun and the beach, put on that high factor, don't want those delicate bodies getting burnt. Speak to you soon. Lots of love mum McXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXx

Hi Son, Just heard from Chris this morning that you have arrived safely in Fiji. Sounds like you and Mark had a great time in LA. You certainly packed a lot into the short time you were there. Dad emailed Don and Janet and told them you will phone and email soon. Only 9 weeks until I see you, can't wait!!!
Have a great time on Fiji, I know it will be hard but do your best!!! Lots of love, Mum. Hello Mark, have you got that hair cut yet!!!

Hello again!! I've just sneaked back onto the internet again, hence why my postcard message was a bit rushed towards the end as my time was running out!! So i've now got a bit more time to write this message! As I was saying plan for today is to go on the Universal Studios Tour and then hopfully if we get back in time to go to a bar to watch the Ricky Hatton Fight (as over here I think it is on about 6pm rather than 2am back home!). Then for our last day in LA tomorrow I think that we're gonna catch a flick at whathisnames Chinese Theatre and then go to Hooters for some grub (and a perv of course!!). All that we have to do then is get a photo of the Hollywood sign and a few more pics of stars names on the Hollywood walk of fame (I have already got some quality random ones such as David Hasselhoff, Phil Collins, Samuel L Jackson, Arnie's, and the Simpsons plus a whole lot more!!). Well now I've gotten all that out of the way it is time for me to meet back up with Beanpole and get our asses to Universal Studios, so I'm gonna love you and leave you.

Take Care everyone, hope all is well, and I'll speak to you soon.

Andy xxxxx
