Could you not have given your mother a different message board to look at. It's inhibiting my ability to pillock you about birds and beer. Anyhow, have you scored yet?

Alright Mart.

Thanks for the keychain torch, it wouldn't have been much use to you anyway. Oh, and Anja and Elizabeth thank you for leaving them the cash on the sideboard to go swimming with.

Hope you're having fun and that the flight to NY hasn't put you off taking any more.

Later!

Yeah Moms right Martin, you never know when you might get lucky. I don't know what she's got in mind with the Cheese and pickle Sandwich though!

Great leaving do Martin - good job I had a week off work to recover from it!

So, how's it going - where have you been in New York so far?

Hope you have arrived in New York with no mishaps and you are not too tired. Let me know if the hostel is clean and nice. Mum.

Don't forget to send a monthly status report of your adventure. I have a hotmail account (my name with an underscore).

Take Care,

Waldy

Don't forget to pack clean underpants, you never know when you are going to need to make a good impression. And I have put some cheese and pickle sandwiches in your rucksack.
