Hi Lads

In answer to the Erikson question it looks likely that Big Phil Scolari will be Man city manager next season.

Can we get some photos up of 'an' please!!! HAHA

More to the point lads...has either of u notched yet on ur travels???

Im coming under some quite ruthless pressure from a 28 yr old self confessed "lover of fat birds" going by the nickname 'Brains'. He says its always good to get off the mark with a fat bird??!! I have no idea...ive told him im a kept man!

Hope to hear from u soon! And please dont try and fit in with those zen'd out, cool traveller types-otherwise known as w**kers-keep true to yourselves!

hugs and kisses x

also can u bring me something cultural from asia as i cant be bothered finding any of my own...maybe 'an' tucked away in ur luggage??

Whats happening crew!

Read a few of your blogs, sounds like an amazing trip - i'm very jealous! I wne to Koh Phi Phi at xmas, its probably my favourite place on earth!

Won't be replying to your facebook message GK as i have taken myself away from it untill my work is all done! i'm slowly but surely getting there with it all! done about half my dissertation so far, just goota write up the other half! currently taking a bit of a TO to do some minor essay's! I'm all finished on May 23rd, bit of a scary thought tho if i'm honest! Also like you, i have changed my image! the hair is all gone!! haven't got a tattoo tho, was thinking of getting you two across my shoulder blades, except you'd both have the body of greek god's and wings!

Stay safe, and i'll talk to you soon

Hi everyone, i have added an new entry if your interested.

hi pete mate, good to hear from ya! yeah i think woodkat might have preffered koh phangan , i just like sairee village in koh toa, and nuan yaun island (don't if you guys went there it was quite good). its soo funny pete when woodkat chats with the locals he talks absolute rubbish and locals just smile and say random things back - t5his obe guy called barn started stroking woodkats stomach and then held his hand for about 5 mins it was well funny (not gay tho) dnt know what he thought woodkat had said! we have also met the tiniest person ever called 'an' - phots will come up shortly!

bit gay were missing apprentice! is it a good one? any funny chracters? like andy and rory from last year - if you can get on you tube at work mate check out, epsiode one of last year with andy, the first 5 20 mins ar soo funny, when andy asks if someone else can be team leader and tre says its a kop out..."do me a favour at this point, you take the job as team leader, and if it all goes pete tong ill be there with you in the board room" its a crack up, and when andy later gets fired, he goes "sir alan, ive worked hard, ive paid my dues, i ahve two great kids and beautiful wife" its well funny!

unlucky about muy vale , im sure it will work well shortly!

has sven goran erissksson got the sack? also dya see scholes goal, out here we have to stay up till 2 am to catch games but its been worth it soo far, who dya thinks going play man u in final then?

take it easy! check out the photos over the next few days!

Hi GK and Joe. Its really depressing reading your blogs n stuff cos im doing headcount analysis. Sounds like ur having a pretty good time, i particularly like the sound of ur "2 Ronnies" tatoos! i saw Ronny Corbett at Marrakech airport once, he looks identical to what he does on tv, and his wife looks like a poodle.

Me n rach hated Koh Tao and loved Koh Phangan. each to their own i guess!

The apprentice is the best thing on tv at the moment, GK, ur dad says i look like a bloke that looks identical to Dafyd from Little Britain. harsh i thought, so i weed in his bed (he doesn't know yet)

Awful news, Muy Vale lost their first game of the season last night, it was gutting but we deserved to lose. we are still top by 12 points or summin so its fine.

Joe im supporting Man utd in the title race, just so u know.

Enjoy travelling while it lasts cos afterwards life is much more boring!

Pete xxxxxxxxx

Its been a while, but here is a quick update.

The house hunting has come to a rather abrupt halt with finances less abundant than previously believed as well as the current 'credit crunch' and impact on mortgages.

BIGGER NEWS: Naomi got on the course shes been after!! so bienvenue DR. NAOMI. the sparkling rose was flowing at the dun cow last night... with a good ole chicken pie (with extra mash).

The football was nothing short of a disaster as me and hen picked up injuries in the first game (hens was somewhat more crippling as he didnt play again). also andy behaved exactly like gossip said. but we were all winners cuz there was a bit of sunburnage with the beautiful weather (apart from utd who lost) - oh it was so not a pk! woodkat you wudv been up in arms mate!

the trip to lufbra was good, had a good catch up over a few stubbies and even had a few late night mattress chats with carl which was nice!

well i cant wait to hear about your kayaking trip and see the photos of the cool wildlife.

me and naomi saw the full moon last week and both commented that i guess its the same moon you guys were partying under... just across the globe.

take care!

gossip girl here

just a little funny story about andrew wilshear's performance at the football competition... on jonny's behalf...

jonny described the experience like this: do you remember the time andy burnt the formica in the cottage but was in complete and utter denial. well this is how he responded to my directions on the football pitch, as if i wasn't even saying anything and he was doing nothing wrong

haha i found this really funny, because i relived the formica experience which completely and utterly shocked me and was soo funny! i had never seen someone behave in the way andy behaved during that incident!

i thought you might like that story, joe....

Good morning southern east siders

Gossip girl has had a lot of gossip to catch up on due to her recent short term sabbatical in pursuit of her future! (she is unsure of how successful this was, but will keep you posted - thanks for the support)

I have returned to work today and it is just not the life i want to live! although, i did have a lovely precious stone necklace (george you would love it) on my desk as a gift from some people i had done work for! gossip girl loves presents.

Gossip girl is unable to make a comment re jonny's femininity as she has not seen him for a week! hopefully she will see him lateron and will assess the case then and also find out what house hunting he has been doing??? gossip girl does not like to be out of the loop!

george are you going to accept city?! that's the big question! i love city..... i also saw LCC whilst i was down there, which was definitely not as aesthetically pleasing! but i suppose it's not about that.

rob and i spent most of our time in greenwich, hopefully it will be our future place of residence. we saw a few apartments which we were pleased with! george, you would also love a mexican restaurant we went to there!! the best nachos ever!!you would not believe the amount of walking gossip girl did that day!

question: do you think the people not writing on this message board are unable to solve the sum?! just a thought... i.e. andy?

gossip girl is amazed at hair taking four hours?! she also hopes rosie had a lovely day off!!

i sure hope you found some nice food and cool air and enjoy phi phi!! im looking forward to seeing some pictures taken with your fujifilm 12 megapixel camera when you get to singapore!!

george, gossip girl was unable to meet the rhydler, unfortunately!!

take care!!

xoxo gossip girl

George,

I have txtd you about City university offer. Basically it seems that to accept the place you have to pay them £500 before the 23rd of May (ur bday coincidentally) if you want me to do something about this let me know. I do a lot of payments for Dad so it comes pretty naturally to me.

email me at [email protected] if you want me to do something as i don't check facebook / hotmail or this site that regularly...

have fun

hello everyone. sorry for the short delay in posts but weve been busy bees spending money on fine dining, women and wine (and coffee)! Both of us have completely changed in appearance and personality since we have been away and have both shaved our heads as a result! We have also sold our passports in exchange for tattoos! Ive got ronnie corbett spanning accross the width of my back and gk has ronnie barker on his!

The photos of this radical change will be put up shortly instead of the ones currently shown on this blog page! They are both irrelevant and in no way a reflection of what we are going to do or what we want to do on this trip!

Thanks for the posts guys, dan well done on the sunflowers, im assuming there probably taller than you now!

Joanne Wood, hope your hair looks nice and dont feel left out of the 12 challenge! And done miss me too much!!

Marc and Nickie, hope you got the deets and we will see you in a few days!

Jack, good that the footy season is continuing well, but a bit s*** about the man u result eh! were still gonna win the league!

Gossip girl, keep those posts coming, well done on the hard work for the interview, hope that its paid off! Take a week or so to relax and enjoy! ps is jonny still being a bit feminine!???

Simon Wood- good luck with the challenge- i know who my moneys on! (still got it)

Big Nic- did the footy go well? we met a girl out here who we passed all your details on to including a passport photo which gk had in his wallet! Included in this was your home phone number so dont be surprised if you get some mysterious calls!!!

Jonny, hows the house hunting coming along!? All the women out here already know you! No need for a photo or details!? how has this happened??

Karl - keep plugging away with the charity work. It must be so rewarding!!!

Tomorow we head to phi phi island for the day and we will be in Singapore from the 1st may!

Anyway, we are going in search for some cool air and some nice food so cya later!

Take it easy everyone!

GK AND WOODKAT! XXXXXXXXXXXX
