Oh and Em, I know you haven't been bitten yet so watch out for those Hogg beatles, I've heard they can be quite bothersome! I find pouring salt on them helps..!

The only way I'll beat you is if I use a putter the whole time and you have to kick the ball instead! But I will try. As for the pool cue... I was gonna say something derogative (mispelled probably, thank God for the degree in English) about it but thinking about it, it could actually work out in my favour for those tricky putts...

Keep on truckin and here's to the reds winning their fitsy European game of the season (I don't think Stevie G has actually had a break for 3 years so either he'll be in good form or he'll pass out on the pitch)

PPS. We will put some new photo's on - as soon as Em remembers to bring / use the camera.

mum - chris got a slapped wrist on your behalf for the aged comment......

PS. Big up to the Aged Parents for the score updates - found an 'Oirish' bar here with satelite (just got there in time for the afternoon sesh yesterday)

i haven't been bitten once yet, but i have just seen a slug......

Sorry matey, forgot you would be needing something to do for the next couple of weeks! We're actually in Chiang Mai, getting my feet chewed nightly... by mozzies, nothing exciting.
Of to do our Elephant trekking Eco tourism stuff tomorrow - apparently we come back on a bamboo raft that we make ourselves.... knew i should have paid attetion in scouts.
Good news on the golf - try using a pool cue next time. Getting a little bit worried that you're gonna be better than me by the time i get back.

Can you guys get your speed up, please? I'm sittin here watchin that red flashing dot and it's barely moving...

Oh and Chris, we played golf on saturday and I proved my point that I should use the putter for every hole instead of tryin to hit the ball like a normal person - I scored a 4 on par 3 98yrd hold, joint top with Tom! No more 5 irons for me, baby! Alls I need is a putter!

OOoooh and what in-flight movies did you get..?

I'm sure I'll ask actual travelling questions as I get into it!

Happy trails
