Thought i would leave one final message.......Over the past few months you guys haven't posted on the message board very often, you've been a bit hit and miss with the photo's, and the postcards could have been more regular but your dedication to keep the mighty red beacon on the move has given me no end of pleasure and far exceeds the pube..... All in all a pretty well run site, has kept me sufficiently jealous throughout my final year studies and i've enjoyed tracking your progress. Hope your now ready for the absolute living hell that is returning home from a world tour. The flight home is fun, landing is exciting, seeing the folks is great, hooking up with all you mates and telling the stories is the bomb but when the dust settles comes the agonizing pain of realising the best 5 months of your life is over and everything is crap again. Make sure you lord it up to the maximum this weekend, i'll see you tuesday for a drinky poo or two..... Goodbye biff..XX

PS awesome combined amount of hair lads, well done

Howdy Pardners how the Sam Hill are you? have a nice day, y'all come back now y'hear? etc etc. Hope the yanks are treating you fine, looking forward to your glorious homecoming, the 12th i hear? slight possibility of me making a shock return to Reading to meet and greet you, whats the dillio? Hope your all good, i got a 2:1 the other day and am now living in Manchester, bit of a hole but not too bad. Catch you on the flipside biatches!

Looking mighty spiffing boyz. We're in Franz Josef at the mo did skydive today and glacier walk 2moro. Queenstown for boarding at the weekend.

All the best and have a safe trip back.......Regards, Gary, Gene and Sparky...... P.S. Gene and I are now drinking hot tea in the morning!

Have you bumped into any famous American's yet, such as Anton Bethesda-Wicks?

Shouldn't that message you posted earlier have read, M-AXel Foley!

Looks like its all pretty mental over in the US. Cant believe that there are two photos dedicated to me, Love you too Bruvvas! I have a mission for you, if you choose to accept it! Can gou get a photo of the BIGGEST person you see in Texas, preferably eating something that they really shouldn't ( like a COW!), Hint: McDonalds is firm favourite with the morbidly obese! Im extremely up for the tuesday 12th July session a la Reading avec Beer. So is the man Dave P. Enjoy the travels.
