Hello everybody,

just a quick hello whilst they are trying to find me something to do at work.   Well work is going well, i'm enjoying it.  Went out with all the people from work last Friday and got a little bit tiddly.  Ooops.  Not much else happening really.  We were going to go to the Mardi Gras next weekend but it will either cost $566 return flight for the two of us, or take 10hrs in the car or by train.  Seen as though we'll only be able to leave at 5.30pm Fri and then have to be back for 'Sunday night, I doubt we are going o bother.

 Wélll it looks as though they have found me something so better dash.

Love you all

Woo hoo

What to say? It's roasting and i've got a few minutes to kill before whisking Mand out for lunch to celebrate Valentine's day and all that smash.

Watched the English smash the convict hoarde on Friday...which was nice. Work sucks. Not just mine, I mean work generally

Finally made some new friends. Went to the St Kilda festival on Sunday. 300,000 people getting drunk and partying. obviously i hated it

Just sent about a million emails, so can't be arsed with repeating it all yet again.

Will & Mick and all the other Irish Boys - Put em back on yer. Mick i still don't have your email address mate. You all sure you're not up for another visit to thailand this year? Now how cool would that be? And i've been ahem 'amazing' people with some fantastic riddles the last couple of days. And the joke about the fridge getting pushed out of the plane is approaching legendary status. Nice work.

Rhi Lady - Guess we'll be seeing you real soon then sweetie. Cannae wait. Don't think we'll make NZ for the ski season unfortunately so it'll have to be piste in Sydney...boom boom. Sorry.

That's about it i think.

Craig stop being a wuss. Or stop getting drunk enough to fall down stairs. One or the other Or sue Rach and retire... 

Stu it wasn't that long ago that you were drinking your own piss anyway. These new age therapies aren't all they're cracked up to be you know. look forward to the latest pics of my niece (not a real uncle, you know, a friend of the family) and i am so convinced its gonna be a girl, i'm sending pink baby clothes. I suppose it could always be a gay boy. That supports Everton.

Love you all more than i love asking Aussies if they saw the cricket on Sunday and how they think they're going to fair in The World Cup. Beautiful

Laters all

Hello everybody!!!

sorry long time no messaging but what can I say.....i'm just too slack.   No seriously, i've been working in a bar that doesn't close till 7am and I have to be back there at 7pm the next day.  So not much motivation to spend the time in between at a computer.  That has all changed now however. 

I have a new job working for an architects firm in the city called Parker design.  I have been brought in to help them cope with the myer (department store) contract they are working on.  This means I will be doing lots of different things all to do with CAD (computer aided design for those of you who are not familiar).  I sit next to Scottish guy (Steve) and behind an Irish guy (Colin) who work on Studio Max so I am going to try to get them to teach me bits and pieces.  Everybody is very nice and the office is really cool.

Having a proper office hours job means that I will now be spending all day at a computer so will be gradually updating the site sneakily in my lunch breaks. 8.30am-5.30pm is 9.30pm-6.30am so if anyone is around at that time my office email is  [email protected]  I wont have msn on though as i'm trying to make a good impression.

Apart from that not a lot going on.  Whent to watch Á mid summer nights dream' at the botanical gardens on tuesday.  It was very good.  Should be with Neil watching EngvAus 1 day final at the MCG but I now have a job so am here instead. 

Anyway best go.  Lots to do

Keep in touch, I love hearing from you all xxxxx 

Mandy

Rhi - I'll have to organise some time when i can come down to Sydney to see you.  Will prob get the train as I haven't been on one since I came away.  Prob for your birthday.  Can't wait to see you.

Kara - Yo. Whatsup? Love ya x

Matt - Going home soon hey? That sucks.  We live in South Melbourne.  Halfway between St Kilda and The City.  Love it.  We are just by albert park and Neil can walk to the gym.

Phuong and Phu - how are you girlies doing?  We miss you.  Have to decide when we'll be coming back to Nam. xxxxx

Hey Mandy and Neil,

 Hows Oz treating you? I guess youre in Melbourne working now? Where about are you living? We were in St Kilda 10 minutes from the beach (great except that most of our time there it was winter!)

 Hope youre both well and have more exciting jobs than mine when I was there!?

I'm getting scared about heading home in a few weeks and getting a real life. Only about a month left in Nepal then maybe acouple of weeks in India to finish, then the two year marathon will be over (boo).

 Keep on having a great time,

 Matt

Get them off ya!

 Well ye two, just a quick hello, good to see yer getting on alright! Life is predictably boring back here, but did have the previlage  of being to the biggest knacker hole of a night club in dublin last week ... Bob's, one of the few places in the world were you can see human evolution -- before it happened! ... what can I say, I felt like david attenborough!

 Got yer email there, good to hear from ye! back to working life again for ye, must be a bit of a shock! sounds like ye haven't let up on the beer though, well impressed with that!

Neil can't help but mention pompey's meteoric rise to the top third of the premiership has coincided with your growing distance from portsmouth ... an unlikely coincidence ... I think not. Must admit though, given what we saw on holidays, was pretty impressed with your climb to the top of that tree!

 Anyway, chat ye again.

Will!

Ok you two, after messing around for years, i now seeem to be able to send and receive e-mails!

My new (had about 15 over the years, and not one of them has worked) address is;

[email protected]

Stuuy, Tone, and all you other chumps can send me a message to see if it works like an efficient first class letter!

Got the ticket, flying out on the 10th, be there at 3.15pm on the 11th and will have 4 days on my own 'til you get there , which i'm going to spend with Terry Orange (should be an experience!)

ok speak soon.

Hi to you both sorry its been soo long since i last wrote but been checking messages often!

Fraser the thought of you in any bondage gear does not sit well on the stomach!!!!! BUT you in women's clothes........i have the memories of certain young lads.....niel included... nicking my undies and clothes with their mates ......not sure why but oh how i wish i had  a camera then!! Open to any form of blackmail from friends who want the story or from Fraser  or/and Neil for my silence....i take cash, cheques or accept bank transfers!!!! 

 Back to the two of you....hope the job front is going well still and your making loads of green stuff to maintain your stay further. When do you have to leave Aussie Neil? Hope the locals not taking the piss too much and your still having fun.

We just got from the flat in Majorca....Danny and all 3 girls went .....first family holiday we've had in about 8 years as never can the girls all together! It was mega fun and while there celebrated Saint Antonio Day....2 days of fiestas! Have good pics of them all very pissed dancing in the street at 4am!!!! It is literally 2 days of partying with no sleep ...well i snatched 2 hours! When it was all over we all slept for 13 hours solid!!!  Weather was warm during the day but got chilly at night though by that time the alcohol kept you warm!

Bet your glad your missing the big freeze here at the mo.........whats the temp there?

Well talk again soon love to you both take care keep safe xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Now then everybody - it would appear that I'm a little out of touch with news etc including the fact that I had a new website.  Congratulations Stuey - glad to be of service - the invoice is in the post.

As Rach has already said, Christmas and New Year were great and business is looking up - we actually have some money coming in finally, although not from www.lookupsport.com just yet.  We are currently supplying one of the Nationwide Conference top sides with Lucozade Sport products and are about to launch a shop. No Stuey - not selling bondage gear (even though I do look good in it as you said), but selling sports kit.  I know you are all dieing to know the name of the site so I'll tell you www.sportbuyer.co.uk - initially just rugby stuff and energy products - yes you guessed it Lucozade Sport -  but it will soon stock all manner of other products so be sure to keep going back to check.

Comedy moment over Christmas and New Year (apart from gettign soaked watching Pompey of course), was breaking in the vietnamese coffee kit supplied by Mandy and Neil.  Road tested it New Years Eve while sitting around the dinner table with Craig.  That's where it all went wrong.  Having had a few beers and a bottle of wine, he wasn't thinking too clearly and failed to appreciate that tin gets bloody hot when boiling water is poured into it.  You guess it - he picked up the hottest thing he could find, burned himself, swore, dropped it and knocked over a bottle of red wine.  Could have been worse.  It could have been full, and it could have been my table, table cloth and floor.

Anyway off to look after a sick girlfriend, who claims to have tonsillitis, although it doesn't appear to stop her eating drinking and talking.
