Hello again world!!!!

Many apologies to the Ty's, Janices, Bernices, Curtis's, Dalmonego's, Fairbrothers, Parkinsons, Browns, Laura Bettoneys, of course the Dally crew including Kelv's Milly, and Dyer and Burtons unborns and the many others for the amount of time it's been since the last blog but we have been having a crazy time.

First and foremost we all wanna give a massive shout out to Alexander Timothy Gerrard Parkinson (Sharky) who is temporarily missing from the five lost boys, i cannot stress 'temporarily' enough as he will been joining us again once he is fixed in either Australia, New Zealand or South America. For those of you don't know.....Sharky was injured in combat on his birthday during a half moon party after an incredible court session of drinking. He cut his leg that was then infected....5 operations later (that was the count last time we visited him in Bangkok hospital) he has had to go home to England to get it fixed, worse than that he has had to go to Hemel which is almost as bad as getting it done on the pitch at the Emirates for him!!!! On a positive note we've all had an amazing time so far and it's been all the better for Shark being here.....especially the volley he scored for Saigon Athletico......and it is not the same without him here....get well soon brother and get them Samba shoes ready for Argentina and Brazil!!!!

I'd also like to make a massive shout out to to all the boys who came out to join the five lost boys for a few weeks and celebrate the religious and cultural festival that is the 'fool moon party' in Koh Phangan. Darin, Ben, Al, Tom, Aaron, Paul and Riggy turned the five lost boys into 'twelve drunk louts" and we had the time of our travelling. For two weeks we partied all night including the full moon party in illuminous paints (picture on the blog), the Pool Party and the Half Moon Party for Sharks birthday, and spent all day playing football, frisbee and having heart to hearts bout the dreaded future and going home (wifes and kids lurking round the corner aaaarghhh!!!)!!! We had such a good time with the boys...so much so that after Darin, Ben, Tom and Al went home, Riggy, Paul and Aaron stayed with us for another couple of weeks in which we did Bangkok and then down to the Phi Phi islands for more partying and many a kareoke to anthems such as 'Summer Jam'...'This is the girl'.....'99 Problems' among many more ballards that i'm too proud to admit to but you know what i'm talking about boys....remember the irish bar!!??!!! I know you do!!! It's been emotional and we miss you boys loads!!!!

Right down to the nitty gritty!!! We have now been away for approximately 3 and a half months which i'm sure you'll agree is a substantial time and can imagine that instances have occured, things have been lost, experiences have happended bith good and bad, regrets and great memories have a very thin line!!! Well we are now ready to share with you all some of our experiences and inner thoughts of our travels so far. Each of the five lost boys were interviewed regarding whats gone on so far....including a special limited addition hospital side interview with the Shark...we actually had to dealy his flight to get the final few questions in!!! Please remember that each of these questions are answered by each of the five lost boys, however, the answers are in a different order everytime so that no-one can know who the answers relate to e.g. Dalmonego may have his answer first on question number 1, however could be third on question number 2....that is not gonna actually be the case or maybe it is...do you see what i'm getting at...we know...you never will...get over it yeah!!!
