07989943076. there you go. felt bad after you only got 3 numbers although slightly perturbed that you dont know it!!! if anyone else reading this board phones this number there will be trouble although its always nice to hear from you Diana. cant be long til you have a well fed friend out there chris so that must be exciting and also the gent family business is not phones but GlaxoSmithKline so go and buy more anti-depressants and viral cream. anon fair friend afar.

From one former R.A.H. to another......UNGLAUBLICH!......Byron Bay's great....extremely chilled out, although there are a lack of roof top terraces! Last night was kind of ruined by the mancs beating us 1-0.....but cheeky monkeys is definetly cheeky!

I have once again decided to dig deep and support the Gent family business - i now have a new mobile! 0061 410835861 it's a fisher price model which plays Waltzing Matilda when you press the buttons but it should see me through. On a personal note am very disappointed that although i got a barage of replies from my 'mobile email' i only got 3 numbers! Gutted!

I would just like to thank Zara for her INNOCENT message wishing me all the best on my forthcoming travels! xx Nothing of significant interest to report - went to Australia Zoo yesterday and saw my zoological idol Stevo the Crocodile Hunter wrestle a 12 footer - STRUTH! We were actually quite lucky as he's only there 3 or 4 weeks a year.....anyway still no proper job yet - so i m giving myself another week before heading south to Melbourne - don't really know why, just a new city and maybe just maybe they have a policy that they are actually legally allowed to employ backpackers!

most recently i have been tiling and roofing.

As requested, here's something special in swedish, just for you my english knight: Du ar extremt bra i sangen, och om min pojkvan laser det har ar jag dod. Men jag alskar din underbara kuk och att bli slickad av dig... Roof action hero, du ar for bra for att vara sann. Jag vill ta med dig pa min resa och ha dig som min alldeles egen slav. Otroligt! Unbelieveable! Uncredible' ! Unglaublisch! To all of Chris' friends back home: You have to tell him not to wear those loose fit jeans. I hate that fluffy toast..It's so sandy here!! XO- Zara, aka Inga

Mr Aussie Rambler, Hope all is well, its grey and mirky here in Hook, so if it's nice and sunny over there please make the most of it!
Fraser Island eh? - Fraser here says it must be a good place ;-)
Anyhow, I can't keep waffling on, or you'll fall asleep and loose out on drinking time so bye for now,
Mark

a new study from the University of Calgary says that it found that children younger than ten do not even get sarcasm. And, it can hurt children who do understand it. Sarcasm comes from a Greek word that means, to tear at flesh like a dog. Is that the effect we want our words to have on our children? Also, sarcasm can make our kids more cynical and negative. So talk to them directly and kindly. Ask yourself if your words are building them up, or tearing them down.

God, so much tension on here!!! Chris, been getting few updates on you, saw your Frasier Island photos - my favourite place in Oz so i'm soooo jealous! Except i didn't do the brave and more fun trip on Frasier in a 4x4 . Instead, we stayed in the hotel where we sang Natalie Imbruglia and won 6 bottles of champagne so worth it in the end (although the bumpy bus ride the next morning was not fun)!!! Anyway, hope you all had a great NYE and Chris, we miss you here!

At last just a few photos for your perusal, a postcard too. Hope everyone had an epic new year and are all enjoying the January return to work - hahahaha oooo heehehe, oh god i m a tit! ermmm nuf said

Whoever is pretending to be me, congratulations - you are so incredibly witty I laughed so hard my other shoe fell off. No really, I did. I'm not being remotely sarcastic. Honest.

i cried the other day when i realised that the kitten heel i so nealry lost in daaaarhling London was in fact not a kitten heel but a Jimmy Choo pump that Daddy bought for me on his platinum card. I've decided to donate a pair of kitten heels plus a copy of '(I Would Walk) 500 Miles' by the Pretenders to the South Asia Tsunami fund. Cheerio sweeties!
