Hi boys! Nice to hear you are all well and are in Koh Samui - have heard nice things about this place but its all down to personal preference so cant wait to hear your stories. Dad: we went to Plymouth not Portsmouth! And yes it was an experience to say the least, Im surprised James has come home without a black eye or two! haha!! (He experienced some issues with road rage!) Certainly a 'different' place to visit but hey, it was a nice break. Can't wait for Mexico now - would be great if you decide to visit while we're there!!!!!! Anyway, speak soon (and yes we are glad that you aren't hanging about for the party, although im sure it would have been fine!). Love Gem & James xxx PS I know Benny is emailing you but where is his post on the message board - tell him to stop being so lame!

Hey guys, Really sorry but we've tried to put some more pictures of Hong Kong on here but everytime we try to upload them they get corrupted and then delete off our cameras. Well annoying. We won't try anymore until we reach Australia or we will send them via email however sometimes they get deleted then too. Luke - Might be able to send home the CD roms we got made and maybe you can upload them for us Dad when you get the disc? We will keep you updated. Mum, Dad, Bro, Nan, Grandad - Having probelms with the phones out here as well. We all have tried to call home but no luck yet. Sorry. All is well anyway have a look at our journal update of Thailand cheers jon

I have a fleece and coat on - in the house! we can't afford heating you know!anyway. just relax and enjoy it all. Fiona leaving for Thailand today so i wonder if you will get to meet her. love you lots xxxxxxxxx

Tom you scab get on the blower yourself! it doesn't surprise me to be honest! anyway, gald to see you're missing our wednesday session, i did indeed spare a thought for you! Yes im still here!!..i've had a couple of complaints that i've been neglecting this message board! sorry laj fans, this shall be duely rectified! all is seemingly well in camp, we've moved to ko samui now cus our last paradise island simply wasn't good enough dont you know. hopefully we'll settle in fine here, only arrived this afternoon so not alot to report yet (besides the deity like presence of a 24hr burger king!). its plenty hot when its isn't raining and the guys are sporting lovely 'rouge' skin tones because of it! gonna take some shade for now as there's no rush to hit the beach- we're in the sun with nothing to else to do for a month! hahaha! sorry if that hurts but it sounds sweet doesn't it?? gonna hit the bars on the beach tonight i think, should be good. thats all im gonna leave you with for now, beach life bekons! really thanks very much for all your posts, its always cool to check it out everyday. we should have charged a subscription fee with the attention its pulling in! hope all is well back home and everyone is taking care. see you soon,speak sooner ollie (laj)

Hi chaps, Celebrity Big Brother Final tonight (although I do not watch it of course) so will let you know who wins in about 12 hours time. Luke.... The MAD Woman.. opps!! sorry .... auntie Sandra and Uncle Andy visited us in Bristol Saturday. Had a good time went to Tintern but foolishly I went over the wrong severn crossing bridge and headed for Cardiff (tried to make excuses, but had to admit I was not concentrating!!). Ended up in the Bowl Inn Almondsbury, after another embarrasing detour to Thornbury on the way back as I took wrong turning as I came off the Old severn crossing. I had a very good and valid excuse this time, I had not turned Sat Nav on and was relying on my Brain Power (say no more). Gemma and James went to Portsmouth for the weekend but I will leave her to tell you about this. Oli, John & Luke I have to go now so all of you have a good day talk to you soon. DADWAL

Hello! We've just had a lovely night out at The Three Brooks - it's 28 degrees!!!!!!

How are you all doing in Thailand? George says " Have you pulled, yet?!!!!" Sorry, Jonathan (Jenny!!!). Mummy Tickner is holding up well! Daddy Tickner is holding up very well as well!!! Take care all of you - have a really great time - love Jen & George

Hi guys, just a really short message this time just to let you know that we are still planning on putting up the last Hong Kong photos up soon (and maybe some from Bangkok along wih a new journal entry) but these computers here are so slow it takes forever to do anything :( We will keep trying or will just wait till we reach a better island. Bye for now xxx

Hiya Oli, What's the latest? Are you loving the sun bathing? I am well excited I am going to my flat today to give it a good clean - I bet you never imagined me saying that! Then I can start moving things in, hurray I have chosen the smaller room which is at the back which is a bit quieter as not near the road, me and trev went round last night to decide! I will take some pics to send when it's all nice! Safe Travels.... love you lots xxxx

Hi boys Glad you've arrived safely - what a journey, still you can always rely on Luke to keep you company can't you!! (He could sleep anywhere!) Bunglaow sounds rather pleasant - enjoy while you can!! Shame about the party (she lied!) but i'm sure you'll find plenty to see and do. Luke - shirley and sandra both have been trying to message but have had some problems but am sure they will be in touch soon. Sandra?!! - be very afraid!! Everything here ok and much the same as usual. Looking forward to hearing from you all again and seeing more photos. Take care, Lots of love XX
