Matt alrite mate! you didn't miss much the england game wasn't pretty but we won 1-0 so who cares we'll take the three points every day! not much happening here other than a few rumours that rooney might play on thursday against T+T! you tell us about these fit birds, but where's the evidence??? Tak it easy!

Corrigan Gary Bacon, Gary Bacon yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy yum. Not the gayest way to start a message is it??? How is it going? You lovin it stiil? Not scarde of a beer are ya? Every message in your Journal says your going to get drunk, you are drunk or you wish you were drunk. Just like being back in the Sage (Just dont be doing any mesy dissertations over whereevr you are) Im well thinking about just joining you know after July. Really not in the mood to get a job for life yet!! How much do you reckon I would need? R u goigon to work ove there? Also, Have you arranged all your accomodations and flights and stuff or you just doing it as you go? Let me know geeza so I can start me plans. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Im' ok mrs and mr bacon, Did you hear about Gaz at Uni when he flopped his .......................................................................................Only joking Laters Man

Fat Kid My choice was Danny Wilson but he didn't get mentioned much, calderwood is ok, but he doesn't get his teams to play brilliant football. However if he gets us up i'll be as happy as can be. Will be interesting to see who he brings in players wise, the rumours are the gillingham keeper brown who is pretty good, but also doig coming back from northampton which is annoying as we don't need players in that area. Will be interesting to see what happens over the summer. My attention however will be on the world cup :)

Matt Alrite mate! Looks like i've been beaten to the big news by ur fat kid! By the way fat kid you don't seem too happy with the appointment?

Fat Kid Forest have appointed Colin Calderwood as manager today, looks like we could be going back to the long ball game again.

Matt Alrite mate! I have t agree with fat kid, a weeks worth of info to take in, i'm just worried what i've had to forget to accommodate that info, hope its not somethin too important like driving, i'll just have to see should be fun! By the way what time is it? and what is you fav food? McDonalds probably! Not good news about the season tickets at forest, if i'd been promoted i could have got free ones! bummer! Not much happenin here, just counting down to the world cup! Although i am goin on a stag do on thurs, goin to dublin for a few days, its gonna be messy, we've got a bus to take us to the airport and there's a fridge full of beer and its drink as much as u can! Lets hope i haven't had to forget how to drink (although didn't really now how to in the first place!) Take it easy!

Fat Kid Evening kid, so you decided to update us on about a weeks worth of stuff in one go, thats way to much info to read at once. Anyway forest news is we have approached colin calderwood about the managers job, he just got norhampton promoted from league two but he plays long ball stuff. They have also approached martin O'Neil but suprisingly enough he said no, looks like he'll be going to boro instead. They have also added 10% to season ticket prices at forest which means we will be getting 5000 tops there next season. Have fun in thailand, don't forget to take more pictures ;)

Dave Just looked at the photos, I think you might need a few more as there aren't very many. Tell Daz he needs to get his hair cut too.

Dave Gaz and Daz on their fantastic voyage, although Daz seems to be asleep quite a lot of the time. Bet you haven't found a Walkabout in Japan yet!!! Surprised you have managed to find your way around seeing as it takes you 2 hrs to get into Notts, sounds good though.

Matt Alrite mate! Looks like your having a good time and have been molded into the art of taking a pic of everythin very quickly! bet u wish you could be thrashing round on a fork lift truck instead of drinking beer all day! not much to report here other than its constant rain and that rooney may be fit for the first game of the world cup! my email if you don't get it from this msg [email protected]

Mum & Dad It's nice to see that civil servants have the time to update the message board when they should be working! Also nice to see that trainee teachers standards haven't dropped. How are you Chris? Great photos and comments - keep enjoying the trip. Where next?

Fat Kid Not scared of a photo are you kid, esspecially what it involves two fat men in nappies!!! So how much is a pint out there? Alright Fatkid, Ye not scared of a photo oppertunity at all!! If in doubt take a photo that seems to be the way forward!! As for the beer its between 700 to 1000 yen in bars about 6 quid 50 and about a quid a can from the shop!!
