Hey guys, surfing sounds great. Didn't see any photos of you up on the boards though??? Miss you both. Will call you soon. Love Belinda, Vinnie, Liv, Sim and Mon (remember to slip, slop & slap) (ask the instructor what that means!)

Cracking photos again boyz. Glad you are safe and having a fantastic time. Cooking tips? Thousands of 'em. Probably the best though is a little complicated so bear with me...... Take one pint (568 ml) of boiling water, usually around the 100 C mark (or 212 Farenheit) watch this carefully as 1 or 2 degrees either way will make a potentially catastrophic difference! Into the boiling water add 1 whole cube of Oxo (preferably of a meat flavour base) stirring continuously until all the little bits have dissolved. Serve with the finest, rare cooked sirloin steak, asparagus spears poached in brandy and champagne flavoured cream sauce, petite pois, precocious and amusingly shaped carrots, preferably in the form of goldfish as the women love this! Stacks of chips. All must be swilled down with the finest bottle of Chateau Lafite 1787 or as an alternative, a couple of tins of White Lightnin, Ace Cider or Diamond White as available. Don't forget to chill the tins you heathens!!!!Remember........ plenty of fluids boyz! "Man cannott live by bread alone"

Gob less.

Way to keep the blog at a PG-13 level… any extra explanation around "my face" you'd be rollin on Restricted! I do suppose live crab racing in a dungeon pub with ale flowing… you gotta expect some racy crab names (and many more shenanigans)! You boys didn't mention "my face" was a member of our clan… yep - you're friends with the perv. HAH!

As far as the stir-fry goes people - these boys learn quick. Innovative and inventive they are… though when picking out a pudding for dessert - you would think the decision would make or break their entire life. Just don't ask them about a certain navy veteran who (conflicting stories) MAY have lifted their beloved chocolate mousse from the fridge.

Fantastic photos, except for the one with the spider in it. That was well gross! Impressive stir fry boys. Your skills will be finely tuned by the time you get back! Mills and Co wish you well. X

Great photos again lads, guess by the time you come home you'll be eating everything put in front of you Chris (did you pick out all the mushrooms from the stir fry!!!, xx). Not sure you'd have been so heroic for a pint of milk C!!.

Take care, hope you both have a fab time surfing.

Love Mum and Dad J

Loved your blog boys, very funny. It was great to have chrismas dinner with you, especially enjoyed the little pigs in blankets you slaved over the oven cooking. Hope you had a great New Year's Eve celebration. Kirsty says Hi. Hope to see you soon.

Happy new year, from the photos you are having the experience of a lifetime take care. best wishes for 2009 looking forward to the next update and photos

Hey there lads (feel I can say that to you both seeing as I met Jelf for about three minutes a couple of days before you left!!),Barnsey, you must be loving Liverpool sitting nicely at the top of the table, and absolutely thrashing everyone over the Christmas period..........I smell another league title coming our way!! Also, I'm guessing you've heard how the mighty Shire are struggling in your absence, as our scores show we've really been missing you!! I'm sure you've not heard about me taking goal of the season from you though with my individual strike at Glastonbury......oh well mate, there's always next season when you're back!!Javier Mascherano o o o o o o, Javier Mascherano o o o o o o......bet you've been singing that all over the world haven't you Jacko?Sounds like you're having a great time, and absolutely loving the blogs. Happy New Year to the pair of you, and I look forward to seeing loads more blogs/pics/vids in 2009. Keep having fun on your travels lads and can't wait to hear the next update.Cheers,Cookie
