Hi Doug,

Footy news - Arsenal have signed Walcott £5m now and up to further £7m according to appearances :)

Haven't had a chance to read your entries but have a fab trip.

Sarah

Hi Doug
Glad to hear you are back in civilisiation, sounds like a great trek, did you get on well with any of your fellow trekers.

Be careful in Laos, the house next door to yours has just been put up for sale, but i cant find it on a wedsite to find out how much, your house is still fine.

another bathroom container on monday, lots of money coming in (and going out) PAR fully paid up.

Hurry back, this office is so smokey i can hardly see the computers.

enjoy and be safe
mario

Hi Doug... Andy & I are keeping uptodate with your travel exploits. It sounds great & you are making us both really jealous. We wish we were there. We have even checked out cost of flights to come meet you! but you will probably be home before Andy can get time off work. :-( Keep putting yourself out there to grab every opportunity to meet like minded single travellers & I'm sure you will enjoy down under! I'm dead jealous of that part of your trip, would love to go. Rest assured we are all thinking of you & checking your journal. Keep it coming!

Hey Doug, you are probably treking right now so hope all is well. We had to stop at around 4.45pm as it got to dark to see. I may be helping out tomorrow (thursday) as Mario has got another 40" in but we shall see - it is like he said, it is really diheartening see a big 40 footer and only yourself to empty it. HOW BIZZARE!! I was just typing this out and your dad phoned me about tomorrow - asking if I can help which I can.

Anyway, I have been given notice at work as the contracts are all coming an end, but no one believes I am really going as I always come back and probably will again!

You will have to let me know how the trek and sleeping the outdoors goes. Look after yourself and see you in a months time or so, assuming you waana come back to the cold, wet hell hole that is the UK.

HI DOUG

I'M GLAD THINGS A LOOKING A BIT BETTER FOR YOU, HOW MANY ARE GOING ON THE TREK, AND WHAT NATIONALITES ETC.

THE 750 CTNS I HAVE HERE FOR NEW LOOK,ALL HAVE TO HAVE A NEW BAR CODE STICKER (GREAT FUN).

WORK IS COMING ON GOOD, NOT TO BUSY NOT TO SLOW, MAKING LOADS OF MONEY, SO THIS MONTH I'M HAVING YOUR WAGES AS WELL.

MET ANY CRUMPET YET, I HOPE YOU ARE DOUBLE WRAPPING IT.

I HOPE YOU GET ON WELL WITH THE MOSSIES, IF YOU ARE LUCKY THEY MAY LEAVE YOU SOME BLOOD LEFT.

HAVE A GOOD TREK, BE SAFE, CATCH YOU LATER

Hope you have a good trek. Are you still going to go to Cambodia & Vietnam? Remember use plenty of insect stuff & don't itch them!
Take care

Hey Doug, It sounds though you are having a good time. Don't worry bout being the only Brit enjoy the thai women! This trek sounds so great, much better than sitting at my desk facing another long day at work preparing tax returns!! Saints keep losing so there is no surprises in that, however have signed a new player!. If you go to NZ have a great time. I am sooooooo wishing I was there with you, but I suppose I should start work now. Keep having a great time and live life a little, hit the night spots, that should help to meet other brits.

hellodoug, just home from work and reading of your escapades. wish we were with you ,as i could help with the alcohol bit!
seriously though , get out there and knock back a beer or two, it all sounds so colourful and exciting, dont miss your chances. sorrry `bout the hard bed, will make you misshome all the more.
forget about the ladyboys ,or whatever they are called, i expect `the boss` would prefer a thai lady coming home in your rucksack. who for, i ask myself! anyway doug i have a flight to the bungalow in spain ,am going in april , hope you are home by then, love mary x take care , from us both x

Hello there, I am currently typing this out on your pc sitting in your old office. LoL. Well actually we have just been unloading a 40" and the fork lift has run out of battery!!

It sounds as though you are certainly packing it in. In particlaur it seems like you are enjoying the high speed Tuk Tuk's!! I imagine that it is a bit wierd being the only brit there at times. My suggestion is have a few drinks and chat up some nice thai girl!!

So apart from the lack of english speaking people are you having fun? I am sure you will have some good memories of the beauty of the country if not of the actual people.

So how long will you stay if you go to New Zealand? I know you have relatiosn out there so at least you will have some people to speak to and catch up with. By the way doug if you any cheap fake rolexs anywhere you go please buy it and I will pay you when you get back - only if they are CHEAP.

Ok that is about it for me, I think the battery is charged a little so it is back to Suit covers going to Next. see would you not rather be relaxing out there than unloading these 25kg boxes in the RAIN!! If you wanna trade I am happy to do so I have even grown the goaty.

Take it easy dude and look after yourself

Stu

ps, Hopefully this note will make up for my lack of messages

pps, have you seen any lady boys?

Hi Doug

So what is the temp out there, it is wet and cold here, are you not going down deep south to have a look around.

Got another suit cover container on monday to do, that should kill me. let us know abit more about the culture and how you handle it (or her).

So what do you think of Thailand so far, is it as good as you thought, any bad bits yet.

Keep safe, see you soon
