As Ollie said, we are off to the neighbours night out. Canne wait for it, going to be amazing. We had such a good night at the Karaoke, I did my usual Enrique (Hero) Went down like a storm.Yeah rite.

The next day I was feeling ok which was werid as the others felt hanging, Duncan gave me a ticket for the Fina World Championships, he could'nt make it so I headed down there. It was a really good day and I've never seen some many people go crazy over water polo. The riot police were called in as the Crotians and Seberians got a little carried away. I was loving it.

Will be in touch tomorrow about the neighbours night. Speak to you soon

Jon

I'd like to dedicate this post to Chris.

he is now the o-fficial backstage blagger! he, luke and i went to see Reel Big Fish last night and he worked his Lady Sov style swooning magic again! I dont really know so much about the band so all i know is i shared a ginger beer and am in a pic with the guy in a hat and beard! awesome. i'll let chris explain the story in full later.

we're going to the neighbours quiz tonight which should be ... fun.. i guess if you like neighbours! i couldnt exactly see me going to an emerdale farm quiz back home if you know what i mean.

hey guys

glad stu arrived ok. Finally got thru all the pics and the journal. oh my god u talk more than women. i have square eyes now after a day of work and reading about ur adventures. Glad to hear that ur all having a great time, say hi to all on ramsey street!!! looking forward to the next book to read!!!! only joking

love rach

Awww man, Millennium Stadium was awesome!!!!! I was sooooo excited, such a brill day!

Final score was 3-2 to Doncaster. But the Gas had control for most of the game and played so well. Donny scored twice in the first two minutes - shocker!! Then the Gas fought back well and in an hamazing second half scored two goals (one from a penalty) Then went on to extra time and Donny scored in the last 10mins.

Still a great day tho, I've never heard 'Irene' sound so good. So many people, app 1 in every 10 Bristolians were there, flags everywhere and lots of booze. Wish you coulda been there Stu, next year we'll be at Wembley so don't worry!

Lots of Love xxxxx

Hello!

Great pics and journal....took me ages to read it all though! Your hostel looks nice - seems like you are all having a great time.

Can't believe there is finally a message from Ben on here!!

Went to Leamington Spa yesterday with mum and dad and it was a good day out. I saw the coolest thing ever in one of the shops......a pink kitchen!!! Sounds gross I know but it was lush!! I think the woman in the shop thought I was seriously going to buy it as she kept asking me stuff. I would have loved to have bought it but for £14k it can stay there!!!

Ricky Gervais put more Bristol dates on and we managed to get tickets for May. We are 3 rows from the front.....can't wait!! He is sooo funny!

Anyway, off now...going to watch a film I think, if there is anything good on Box Office. James's idea of good is completely different to mine though so we shall see!!

Take care and hopefully will be about next time you do Skype - let me know!

Love ya! xx

Hello All

Great reading the journal really enjoyed the photos it certainly gives us an idea what its like for you all. I dont blame you Luke for Jonathans hair I suppose doesn`t look tooooooooo bad!!!!!! Hope all goes well for you with the van please be extra careful,take care everyonexxxx

Hello

Enjoyed the photos, Jon- you looked very smart in your work clothes, Luke-shame about the dead fly on your lip .. Oh wait a minute.. no its a lip ring!!

Hope you get the van back soon so that you can move on, sounds like you're all ready to now, and I'm sure the people of Melbourne will be relieved to be rid of Lukes singing!

Take care all lots of love xxx

ps Luke sorry about the Severn bridge joke, but it was quite good wasn't it?!!

PS. The shorts were from Thailand. Cost me 4 quid!

Oi Oi!

Glad you finally got on here Benny, only took you three months! Glad you like the lip ring too, getting a smaller one without a ball in a week or so. Oh yeah, met this guy who works with bands and he said he would try and get me an internship at Epitaph if I wanted or something else music related. How cool would that be?

Nice to see everyone loving the photos, took us ages to get all that sorted out!

As Ollie said, lasty night was a big night. I sang another song too, Like A Virgin. By that stage I was very drunk and it was awful.

Going to see Reel Big Fish tonight hopefully for a bit of skanking so that'll be fun!

Bye for now x

by god i just flicked through all the photos for the first time.. do you think the guys like cricket?? bit excessive on the MCG shots i rekon!

glad you're liking them anyways and hopefully it gives some idea of what we're upto (we dont live at the MCG i swear!)

just dragged myself to the computers waking up feeling rough! another large night last night as it was our farewell of kareoke. loads of people came out which was cool, we all got hammered (of course) but regreting it now! not least for mine and Luke's abmismal rendition of Jimmy Eat World! im sure i'll bounce back.

write again soon

ollie x
