PS If I grab a Firstbus outside Argos and just stay on it will it eventually stop at Angkor Wat?

... AND then the American chimes in, which is inevitable in every group discussion!! Honey nobody does blogging like an American politico!! This feels very much like the Santa Watch done by the Weather Service around Christmas. I wonder if David T can pick up your little radar blip from Manchester Jampes?!

Since I work for an airline now I'm learning all the airport codes for these exotic places you are going. You should go to JEB of course, which is in UAE... I think just for kicks I will calculate how much it costs to fly Delta Airlines on your route...

Our news network took a dig and aired the Charles/Di wedding Saturday in its entirety with snide commentary from the presenter after Charles' vows. At least Wills looked good, am I right Leanne?

Hi and luv luv to you all, and safe travels James. I bet you are safer in those rickshaws than driving the streets of Houston with me!! =) If I see any relevant travel bulletins I'll post them, i.e., The British Embassy advises that you not get into cars with blondes driving in Texas. Or that Fruit Pastilles and Thai Green Tea chocolates are not to be consumed within the same digestive cycle, no matter what time it is GMT.

So if we're all Simpsons now does that make me the leading candidate for WALLIS?

An obvious compromise- 1 picture in SE Asia with Jimbo in it 2 proove he is really there and not just living under a bridge in Glasgow, then Jimbo can photo picturesque things until his index finger falls off. Hope you are really enjoying your time James and that you take every chance you have to see new things.
P.S. Andrew is loving all the attention from Vera and Suzie

no, what'd be more funny having the pictures of james in them is that we can look back in years to come and take the 'mick' outta his hairstyle n clothes. then again, james isnt very out there with his clothes, so the latter wldnt really apply. Then again, maybe its the 'stick' we got as kids by being forced to wear those so fashionable arran jumpers, wax jackets and walking boots which makes james less willing to put himself in the pictures. he maybe has a complex now. Ok so its Leanne slagging off her parents again.. hehe. ya kno ya like it really, n I really did like wearing the same clothes as M-C ( and James often?!) when i was 2.. decked out in the latest C&A fashions.. Wonder if James is going to come back with a ring thro his nose and an earring with dreadlocks... (he is going to Africa and Australia!!)

Very good point Mr Henderson. I hadnt really observed his obvious dislike for people before. Do you think it is a result of his upbringing ? The fact that I had never taken him to a football match and mingled with ordinary people. Also he will never remember the look of the wee weans in Cambodia - like the one who stole the furry monkey off his bag (yes the one that went to the Middle East, America, Eastern Europe) Do you think Jimbo has a superiority complex.

Don't encorage him not to take people photos. He must break this trend soon. Picture him in 5 years time. You can't. He won't have taken one. Pictures of people are important to let you remember who travelled with you and what you did. How else will you remember that funny wee tuk tuk driver who stole all your money in 10 years time?

Forget the election. Time to campaign to see a few people in on the website.

Pffft, another one brainwashed by Tonys 'new labour' into thinking hes dong good for the country with all his new ideas and not just carrying on Maggies good work.

Anyhoo, Aright Jimbo my wee cousin-inlaw hows it goin'. b***** all happening here. You're team will probably win the league but not because you are better than Rangers, no its because we dont want to win the league. I can say this because thats the impression the players gave me after sitting watching them against Dundee Utd on a freezing cold tuesday night . Anyway, it will give yous lot a chance to catch up on our 50 titles. So we'll see you in what, 2015 when you're equal with us. There, thats this board a bit more level now. Cannae be letting you miss out on any fitba banter can we.

Me and Veronica were in Amsterdam last week. We did stuff................apparently.

Veronica has abandoned me and went to visit wee Andew in manchester, (well lets face it, shes not there to see Annemarie or David is she?), so im now in day 2 of my 3 day bachelor party,(sorry for the noise Alan & MC, Alan can come down if he wants, not sure he'll get in the door mind you), and ive managed to not damage too much of the flat.

Right then, thats me set up enough topics/argument to get this board to spring into life, (and safe us from the Bonner family bickering, whoa, anotherone, how do i do it? :D ).

One more thing Jimbo, dont let them make you take photos with folk in them. We can see folk anywhere and they just end up ruining a good shot..

that wld do nicely... tho id prefer to have guns n roses playing in the front room, a dance floor in the backroom and a bar in the kitchen.. and regarding the similarities with the osbournes, that by default makes me Kelly Osbourne.. u trying to tell me I'm an irritating lil gal who is weight challenged! Rather insulted...

Leanne I am so sorry we are failing in our duty, inter alia, in the domestic entertainment stakes and the place is so quiet. What would you like - Elton John for the front room, perhaps the Shakespeare players doing Othello in the basement, or the Moscow State Circus and dancing elephants in the back garden. Notwithstanding that through this insight to our family we are fast becoming the Osbournes of Muirend, I would be much happier being compared with the Simpsons as I have a lot in common with Homer doh

To the Greene's
I wouldn't say that it provides that accurate a depiction of the Bonner household. Afterall, our sarcasm only comes to light on electronically controlled devices. As such this family is rather representative of modern day problems. None of us talk to one another... unless it's thro' this rather unusual device. The Bonner residence is more commonly described by my pals as a library, no not Strathy lib where EVERYONE talks, but more like Govanhill lib.. quiet cos there is nobody actually in it. The noisiest thing here is the cat! I often think dad cares more about this cat than he does about his own children.. anyway, hope Andrew is ok. I'd best do some work as ive spent most of today shopping with my mate Neil.. the joys of retail therapy! lea x

Never mind Jimbo's trip, this is a fascinating insight into life in the Bonner household. Now we know what those poor cats have had to put up with for so long!? As far as Green House Gases are concerned, we all know that the main producer of hot air is Pa (now Grandpa) Greene. Glad that Jimbo is having such a fun and culturally enlightening trip. We look forward to more updates. (From Jimbo and Friends)

Jimbo - how do you say "top of the league" in Vietnamese? Mon the hoooooooooops :)
