hi dan

just read your little adventure, it must of been scary you are hell bent on worrying your mum and me least of all nan.

well jade passed her driving test after the second time, so she is ok

had jack a few weeks ago and mum only put him in his liverpool shirt can you image bernardo and the rest of the mobs faces when he came.

espically as they were playing on the tv he was not impressed. i dont think he wil wear it again unless mum and terry are here.

nan is ok nothing changed there, leah is driving and giving me a heart attack every time she goes out.

any way glad you are having fun, and trying to frightening everyone. looked at your pictures they are really good.

just finished work so abit tried, cant think off any thing else to say (brain gone dead) for a change

write again soon ps when are you in darwin

love you debsxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Stephen and the rest of the lost boys.

Hope everything is OK. If you didn't already know FOREST ARE PROMOTED. It was a bit of a tense afternoon but Cheltenham did the business by beating Doncaster and the Reds got their revenge on Yeovil. I'm sure you will have a few drinks to celebrate if you haven't already - any excuse for a few more beers. Will speak to you soon.

Lots of love, Mum & Dad

Hi Dan

Thanks for email and all the updates...Photos are great..good to see someone takes pictures of scenary, culture and sunsets - all the pictures of 5 boys and 5 beers or buckets wern't telling me much about where you were...but last lot of pics really filled in all the gaps.Caves and resistance tunnels looked amazing!

I take it it is songcran water throwing festival in Vietnam same as Thailand? Was it that everyone everywhere joined in?

Did you get to Saigon? Amazing place!

Leeds didn't get any points back so roll on the paly offs! Hope to be at Wembley for final. Man U v Chelsea I guess that will bring back a few memories???? Will be flying back from Crete that night so will miss it!

Cheque not sorted yet but I will ring her Monday.

Keep living my life for me...it's great to see I am having such a great time.

Love ya Dad XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Hi Boys. What can I say, you all seem to be in one piece, very friendly, economising on bedsand supping the local fare! Andrew I know it must be difficult to do laundry - but why naked? The Ali G cossie-HHmm I think naked's better. Loved the lesson on local culture Dan, keep entertaining us. Love Andrew's Mum X. ps Heard Alexandra is heading your way too? get ready to REALLY party.

5 Lost boys, thats a good title You looking for peter pan, You should try Neverland

Guys!! Thought i'd drop you a line, down from the "streets of St James!" Baby Monego was born a couple of weeks ago, she has a little more hair on top, and a little less round the chin (thankfully) and enjoys bottles just the same. Monego, i went in goal for the last game, and all i need to say is that Kelvs dad thought i WAS the new goalie, how do you cope with ceely at the back! far more of a threat to my goal than any centre foward!

Good to see your all alive and well, in my plan for Global domination within the finance world please pass on my number to anyone you come accross who requires finance! Cheers

Vang Vieng was pretty much as Dan explained... I did rent a wet bag one day and got some good pics of the river and the culture (which aparently has been like that for centuries??)

We are in Hanoi at the mo, did some trekkiing yesterday up this huge mountain to go see some buddha - we trekked for about an hour and then when we got there it was about the size of a TV... I was expecting a HUGE buddha after all that walking. But it was our first exercise since... well... since we've been away!!

Hanoi is absolutely mental!!! - Ive never been to a more crazy place. Every road in the city has thousands of motorbikes and skooters on them and they wizz around as if there is nothing else on the road - every time we cross the road its a near death experience!!! Although we are getting better (holding hands so we all cross together - mums you would be so proud!!!)

Today we head to Hue City, which personally I cant wait for. I am a little knackered after getting up at 2am to watch Arsenal spank Derby 6-2... god dam timezones!! We should arrive there about 7am tomorrow!!

Anyway, hope alls welll. DD cant beleive Froggy as a midfield general - the new... err dont know any watford players???

Love and peace...

Hello Boys, what a cultural trip you are having. Those geography and history teachers amongst us will be writing to you for your valuable input. Andrew, now I know that those singing and keyboard lessons were really worth it. Very funny, but don't give up the day job! We still love you and miss you lots rapper boy. Enjoy yourselves, Love Mum X

"My name is Fred and that s*** is whack

Had so much sun, I'm dam near turning black

Been shooting colt 45's..... brap brap brap

And been watching Mustangs zooming round the track

But still despite of all of this and all of that,

East Barnet's still where my heart is at

I love Ty and Jan, and know they love me back

So my homeboy azbo holla back"

OH MY GIDDY-GOSH! check my lyrics, 1,2 pon the microphone!

Russell, Daryl, Jonny Goose-Flaps and Myself climbed Snowdon on saturday... that was fun, then we camped out in wales... 1 word of advice = dont ever buy a £22.50 tent from argos and think that you will stay dry... coz u wont... FACT. loving the pics mate, keep em coming! i'll send u an email with some serious lyric-diddly-ics to keep you going. Ja bless

Hello again Glennard, that's quality news bout football, glad again that your back in midfield you are Gerrard!!

Yeah i told all the boys you said hello, we've just got back from 2 day boat trip, very tiring but got our court session tonight for Lao so need to get back on it. Yeah Premier league looking amazing!!!

Now then boys. Won 1-0 today away at Olney so we guaranteed 7th place which isn't bad considering our December and January! Froggy got 10 mins in the engine room in the midfield with me and I took him under wing - may have a future there?!

Good to speak to you Dan and Shark the other day, I hope you boys are letting that yiddo peeler to sleep with his head in a pair of shorts from time to time - like a security blanket I think.

Glad you're managing to keep up with all the footy, what a finish this is going to be and now we're done it's time for beer gardens in the rain and watching it on our 26' tvs.

Presuming you didn't take the cameras down the river, but keep the pics comin, they're often a highlight of the days at work!

Keep truckin x

Laura we are still alive but there has been more adventures, largely on the tubes of Vangvien, new photos and a blog will follow shortly.......................................................
