yo.
happy birthday Broseph! hope you've had a good day.
A few things;
have you read 'into the wild' yet. i read it a month or so ago (bought it myself) it's absolutely brilliant.
i also read 'touching the void' its not as good but is still really good itself - worth reading definitely.
football; after losing 2 games running (our only defeats ever) we really needed to win otherwise we we're going to lose top spot in the league. We've won our last 2 games (17-2 and 9-3) so it's going to be a well exciting end of the season. We are 6pts clear with 2 games to go but with a slightly worse goal difference than the team in second so if we lose both games they will win the league but if we get a result in one of them we win. But our last two games are against the teams in 2nd and 3rd. The team in 2nd are individually better than us but we beat them 6-5 in the first round of games. I think that might have been our last game before you left - it was probably our best result of the season but i reckon they'll beat us next week as they had some well good players and they'l be desperate to beat us this time. That means we'll need to win or draw our last game (theres not been a draw in our league all season!) so basically win our last game of the season (as the team in second are playing a rubbish team so will defos win) to win the league - it's going to be well tense! i'll let you know how we get on.
i've been offered, and accepted a place on the Real Estate MSc at City Uni for next year so looks like we'll both be there.
Me and DV looked up cyprus flights and found the best deals - i have spoken to Nick and he said he would book them last night (don't know if he has) they were £201 each to go out the day before us and leave the day after (which is the day luke leaves) so hopefully thats alright. i said i'll send Nick a cheque for your £201 (you can pay me back when you return)but he hasn't got back to me with your address yet.
if you're going Fiji next the cheapest island is Bount Island - that's where me and DV stayed so you might wana try that - go to the tourist info place in the airport (its a tiny airport) you cant miss it its like a shop on the left on your way out with some sofas outside, they can book accomodation and transport for you.
when you go NZ spend more time in south island than north island. South island is better though it'll be pretty cold when you're there.
GK ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY" - ps. Andy owes you a birthday rap!
well mate its that time of year again, spirits are high, the sun is in the air, manchester won the Champs League and its Your Birthday. I am very happy today despite having loads of work on as i am genuinely imagining birthday celebrations and party games as led by 'the planner' GK9.
I have reviewed the photos and 'memories' from university parties and there is a clear sense of nostalgia in the air.
I hope that you enjoy your birthday and we will make sure to celebrate it (and woodkats) upon your return!
It sounds like your getting in all the sites in Sydney and are very busy with exploration. I hope woodkat's knee is okay especially walking the bridge and going up the tower. TAKE PHOTOS.
I am off camping this weekend to Snowdonia, having planned this well in advance i am now struggling to come to terms with the potential thunderstorms and torrential rain. We are still heading up there... just packin an inflatable dingy incase we get flooded down stream!
Celtic won the SPL, which is well good considering they were well behind to Rangers. Leeds play in the final playoff (so maybe the wood family will be celebrating that!>!)
Missing you guys!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GK We hope you have a really fun day and store up lots of memories (you old man).
So, what do you think of Sydney? Have you climbed the Bridge? Have you got out to Bondi? Have you encountered the Cockatoos yet? So many questions you will have to update your blog so we know what you are doing.
I hope you have a big event planned for this evening. Have a drink on us (now you have the taste for BUBBLY!!)
We had a great few days with Luke in Lisbon. He was a perfect tour guide (with the aid of Jo) and took us to a very pretty village called Sintra, which looked like it had come out of the pages of a fairytale. We took in some culture at an Art Gallery and also at a Museum of the Orient (aptly). We eat like lords and enjoyed cocktails in a bar where Lukes friend Jose worked. I would recommend a Milly Vanilly - yummy. With the bank holiday weekend ahead, we are going to So'ton to visit Grandma and Grandpa and hope to dodge the showers on a day out with viv and Alastair on Sunday. Hopefully we will also get some time with PK and Debs.
That is it for now. Big hugs and kisses to the Birthday Boy (and to you too Joe just incase you are feeling left out). Have fun.

HI to both of you!!
Just wanted to let you know we received the package, its probably got some sort of creature in there I await with great anticipation!! However we also got about 30 other packages belonging to folks far & wide in the uk!! Rosie a bit desperate to open them all but just the thought of all those folk waiting for them meant we sent them all on!!! Like Tom Hanks in castaway, but dont think wilson was in there & im not marooned on some island!!! Not very surprised you changed the flights, just shocked you didnt know before where youd be during the game!!! Might even have to record the apprentice so that even I can watch!!! raef still in there & so funny!!!
Oli will be watching with jack since he had his first op on Monday, tell you paper pants were well funny!! Hes ok got to go back in 2 weeks to see this surgeon again & find out the next step!! Hes had to move into your bed ( just to be close to you) no his is about to collapse & needs a bit of DADs handy repair work to make it sleepable again!!!
Anyway have a great time in sydney some of us must go to work now. Thanks again & much love.
gosh these sums are hard!

Alrite chaps. Sounds pretty impressive.... Woodkat i hope you are planning on courting Pam rather than just having a holiday fling. Im sure you took her digits.
Thats cool you saw tom cruise and christian bale, maybe they were filming out there? or were you just hanging out with all the cool kids?!
i bet rico is jealous of your guys surfing, can you do any tricks yet? (i dont have a clue what a trick on a surf board would be though.. somersault maybe?!)
Im slighty concerned about Nic and chaz, as when they were at the game i received a text from Nic stating.. and i quote "i have gone through so many different emotions this past hour (they were currently winning 3-0), i dont think my body can handle this". Well hopefully he and chaz are finding recovery okay.
Really excited about the big game wednesday, im glad you have managed to 'distort' your flights in order to see the game! good work! At present i am doing coursework in for wednesday so im doubly lookin forward to wed night!
i think i might go camping this weekend (bank holiday) if the weather is just.
MISS YA x
ps- i look forward to this 'package' - and am concerned why it was 'embarassing' for you!! which means i shud be more embarassed im sure!
N I C
Alright boys, gk if you lay anymore steven jokes on me now there will a price to pay!!
Hows it all goin out there? We have'nt had much news of late from you, so i guess no news is good news!!
Not a good time at home for chaz and myself, we went to see Reading get relegated last weeked. Despite winning 4-0 it wasn't enough, Derby fans are scumbags and some of them literally head mental.
On a lighter note, its andys bday today! so met up with him n co in leicester to watch the FA cup 'thriller'...was well funny him n his mates all had these wigs they bought. n andy had this rubbish one with a big ponytail..looked like david seaman!
you are sorely missed back at home! hope youre still have a wicked time though! ps. i have a dissertation to do and 2 groups courseworks in under a week. jealous?! xxx

Hello boys,
Hope all is well...just been having a giggle at your photos, some nice poses you both managed to pull out of the bag.
We just got back from Italy today...has been a brill trip...which has only been improved by the vast numbers of pensioners that seem to be swarming around Lake Garda at the moment. We got upto Venice and Verona and a really nice town near the Austrian border. Hotel was really nice..except for the food which was massively weird. They sort of had themed nights...last night's was 'shortcrust pastry' and the night before was 'mushrooms of our fields' (which was actually a favourite of mine).
G..forgot to give you the Eastenders news which I'm sure you have eagerly been anticipating...turns out Steven is gay...didn't see that one coming actually.
Anyway better go...bye bye for now and enjoy!! xxx

Hi Joe GK

And its the Otley town presentation dinner this evening. Your team finished 3rd in the League with silsden top. oli back home on Monday for knee op, and oh yes
Media Man won yesterday but weve lost so much on him that we didnt even back it.
