hey ho! i also wana say thanks to kel and kathryns male for our lovely gifts! sorry it took me a couple days to post this, im a little slow, they were much appreciated however! so 4th ish day in Melbourne (Melbin to the locals) and still finding our way around, got lost yesterday afternoon way out of town but it did result in the discovery of 'Bruce street' ! best street name ever i think you'll agree, so it wasn't a total loss. hoping to move into a pimping boys pad in the next couple of days which'll be cool. not alot else to update on really, we're just doing boring stuff with banks and phones at the mo. we'll be sure to hit back with some stupid drunken stories in no time. ollie x

1-0 to the Gas just as I predicted! Come on Millennium Stadium!! Just got back from the game VERY exciting! Pitch invasion, a big ruckus, Police hitting back the Rovers fans and lots of horses on the too! Very enjoyable tho, I did lots of singing. I hope this news doesn't make you too sad Jon! xxx

Oi oi tickner! pictures look awesome you look like you're having a good time. have you lost weight? its depressing in lincs at the mo its raining and we have loads of work on gay 3rd year! wish we were where you are. you have convinced us that we want to go traveling. take care watch out for kangaroos and swim carefully! love Giuseppe roberto Schiorlin + Duncan McLeod White xxxx

Hi Jonathon so great to hear from you and finally we can make contact , we are so pleased that this French piece of !!!!!!! plastic is now working again. Freyer had a fantastic time at yours and sends her love again. We are so green with envy and rusty from all this rain it's not stopped for six days here S.W. France that supposedly sunny place and we could do with that bloke Noah if you meet him on your travels. You three look like you are having the time of your lives and so you should, go for it boys and don't miss a moment, your photos look absolutely fantastic and mind out for those spiders that hide under the toilet seats they have them in Australia dont they? Have lots of tinnys for us ( sorry if that sounds corny I have the excuse, like your Dad of being of the older generation.) Will now keep in annoying regular touch. Good luck boys and love to you Jon

Hey! Glad you liked your panties boys! I thought after 5 weeks of hand washing your own smalls they must be getting a bit grubby! Don't go flashing them about to the Aussie chicks too much! Go steady on all the those bars & good luck with finding yourselves a Bachelor pad! Missing you! Lots of love xxx

Hey Lads, No probs, hope you do wear them with pride, just thought pressies might be some fun for you! So glad to just receive my first email from Chris! Feel much happier now hes with you all! Take care, enjoy your first few days in a new place! xxx

Hello Glad to hear you're all settling in nicely and that Chris arrived safely, looking forward to seeing his messages on the board. I am glad to hear about the smoking MR TICKNER!!! Don't any of you go picking up bad habits (well, anymore than you have already!!) Shame about +44 Luke, hope you manage to get tickets- Ben will be very envious. Take care of yourselves and each other xxxx

Hello guys, This is a very very brief message , just came back from a night out with the guys, had a very good night. Great to have Chris here now, he was totally surprised that we were there to meet him. Thankyou to Kathryn and Kelly for the wonderful presents, I will be wearing my nympho badge very soon, and my lucky boxers will def be worn in vegas. It was nice to open a pressie. Anyway the purpose of this message is just to confirm I do not smoke!!! I had one pic with me and a cigarette in my hand, big mistake. Please don't worry nan and mum.haha I will reply to all of ur messages soon. Love Jon

PPS!!!!! Thank you Kelly and Kaythryn for our amazing gifts!!!! They were wicked, I'm going to wear my badge and boxers with pride! Thank you so much!! xxxxxxxxx

Hey everyone! Yep, arrived in Oz safely and surprised Chris at the airport which was cool. SPent today just walking around the centre (CBD). Found out that +44 are playing on the 1st of March over here in melbourne!! So we went to the box office to try and get tickets but they have sold out. :( I'm gutted. However, we are gonna go down on the night and try and get tickets off a tout. Even if there is only one for sale then I'll go it alone. It would be amazing. Annoyin that Travis won't be playing but I still can't miss this. We went out for a few beers tonight and found out that there are loads of bands playing locally. Should be good. No idea what we are doing tomorrow, might start looking for a place to live. Thanks for all the messages again and glad you all liked our photos and journal. Bye for now x PS. Dad, no lady boys yet, but we did nearly walk into a gay bar tonight :/
