Hi Kym and Gaz, recd. your messages re Christmas Day etc. Your Christmas was a bit different but that's why you are out there.We all had a good time here and now looking forward to the New Year in a few hours time. All the best to you both. Take care Gdad M. (PS. Now 6 points ahead Ronaldo is mint.)

Just read my first msg agin. n feel i necessary to point out it was either a typo or Kym changing it when I wasnt looking. I obv did not mean to say butt plug! Was aiming for one of thos plugs BUgsy sells all day hope that clears it up x

sorry 4 the late reply but havent had net access for ages! managing to catch most of united games/highlights tho-get in! told u all weve got the title this year. Hope you all had a great Xmas n enjoy new year-dont get too drunk!Its gonna be a quiet one for us i think. Not really celebrated here plus were up at 4.30 to catch the sunrise at Ankor Wat bugs- sorry to hear ur hurtin so badly. I'd definately take Kyms parents up on the offer! I tend to find meal times are the best times to go ound plus PAul normally has a few beers stocked in the fridge. P.S How did you get on on that away trip?cant find ur email address. Banks-Very funny lad! Who are you copying off this yr now that Im not there? Jay- seems ages a go but i think it was a bout 40B. Im awaiting the beer vats in vIetnam with great anticpation! Rich-Believe it! Im thinking about writing a book bout my travels when I get back. The shorts are v.sexy!Like the boardies u got just not as tight round the ass!hows manc treating you? Is your car n ur windoww still in one piece?been promoted yet? Ash- I honestly cant understand y anyone would not trust u with their bird!?lol Manged one gym sesh so far. there is one next to us now (in Siem Riep-Cambodia) so hopefully fit another in soon.Its not the same without u tho.  Family-Glad you all enjoyed Xmas. Was good to spk to u- we cant put as many photos up a s we wud like cos they take ages to upload so ul have to wait for most of em til we get bk. hope lynee n Granda have fun in Palma Diggers-Now that you mention it- I did dazzle the local lads in Stung Treng (CAmbodia) playing keepy uppy with a sort of shuttlecock/football.Didnt think it was fair to show off with my thru ball tho, I'll save that for Brazil on my next travels. One mirror did give me a funny look the other day but I let it slide this time lol Dont be ur normal lary self(i.e calling the girls at the taxi rank dave n ben) dont think it will go down too well in scouse land. Do tho-stress that they fluked the Chamions league Micky-I think we both know which off us contributed more to our weekly 9-0 thrashings. Gotta go Hopefully be on the net more now we r back on the more treaded travel path xxxx

Kids, Glad to hear your both enjoying yourself. Unlike Bugsy who has gone into a steady down ward spiral since you left. He says he has no one to get in trouble with their girlfriend anymore and feels lost now. I think a trip to Manchester to see your mum and dad will be really good for him at the moment and its very kind of them to offer. Gazza, as you are no doubt aware the Mighty Man United are on our way to yet another league title, gets boring being this good. Have you managed to have any kick abouts and brought out the infamous 'Upton Through ball' on a beach perhaps?? I hope Kym is behaving herself mate, i know what she gets like after a few drinks, oh no thats you! Kicked any more mirrors yet??! All is well my end, although been blagged by Sarah into going to Liverpool for New Year so will be pulling the bullet proof vest out for that one!! Take care of yourselves and each other, Peace Diggers (7) x x x

Hi Kym N Gaz Glad to see you are having a wonderful time,Grandad says to say they miss you. All the best for the New Year Enjoy the rest of your travels love Nana and Grandad xx

Hi Kym and Gaz, my presentation of the meal was great except for onr slight imperfection exaggesrated by Jean. Your Dad is enjoying a brandy after one or two tins of Boddy's . All the best to you both I am very envious Gdad

Thanks for ringing earlier:it was good to talk to you.Hope it didn't bite too deeply into your funds! Glad you're both having such a great time even if you're not enjoying slightly burnt Xmas pud courtesy of Grandad's microwave! Enjoyed looking at your photos, especially the elephant ride. I'm very envious, but at this point will settle for a fully operational bathroom!! Hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Laos and good luck with your journey to Cambodia. Lots of love to you both from me and the rest of the family. Take care. x

Hi Gareth and Kym. Its Rachel and family. We are having a very intense disagreement about how to e-mail you or not to e-mail etc. Enjoy the rest of your day and I will e-mail you soon from my school account so if you do send e-mails I can be on your contact list. Plus I have been showing the kids your website and trying to encourage them to leave Manchester.xxx
