Gareth, When u get home we must get your friend Michael round, his messages are almost as obtuse as mine. I like his style, the boy needs to get out more.

Gareth, good to speak yesterday. Now eveyone is going on about your haircut- u cant win can u- still i think the hairdresser trained at the Ray Charles school of hairdressing!

Love Chris.

also.. can i make a request for more pictures like the one of you with a milkshake in hand and an amazing giant bird sitting on the table. that was seriously cool.

last blog made me smile.

you're not alone gareth!! just a message away.

i bumped into someone from wilson's the other day too unexpectedly. not quite to the extent as your story, being only a county away and on a 194 bus, BUT WHATEVER.

trying to learn electricity and magnetism for an exam tomorrow at the moment. not good. curse gauss and everything that man stood for.

when you come back have got so much tv to catch up on. you've missed some classic peep show, plus if you haven't watched, ive got every single monty python thing EVER, gareth marenghis dark place, green wing, nathan barley etc etc.
