Abdul The Goat Herder & His Musical Birianis Dear Mr. Reynolds, We haven't heard from you for some time. As I was saying to a friend of mine in the pub last night while I quaffed a pint of "Snails Knacker" - a most wondrous brew with heavy hints of dead dog and tramps gusset - we haven't heard from that Mr. Reynolds for a while. However, a messenger with a cleft palate came through the other day and reiterated to us a story he heard in the foothills of Harrogate of a man, not dissimilar to yourself, selling Tic-Tacs. Apparently, the poor man was drooling, hadnt washed or shaved for weeks was dressed in a tattered Rolling Stones, 1997 World Tour T-Shirt, worn down flip-flops and a pair of Arsenal shorts. The only words he spoke were '….Must See A Kangeroo, cant find Kangeroo….' I said 'No Sir!. That could not have been Paulie, he hates Tic-Tacs!'So, where 'er you be, may the shadow of your manhood never shorten in the noon day sun.PS. Windsor Safari Park if full of 'kin kangeroos - get a grip.

Dain Bramaged HELLO.......hello,.....hello,.....hello! (Thats an echo)

jack hi dad, could you give me a call - i have news. x jack

Septimus Alowishus McGillicuddy Paul, I have refrained from writing for long enough but do feel that I have to comment on your latest batch of pics. Do you think we are all stupid, do you think that we will believe everything you tell us? Ok, let me start with the picture of the COD! As a dedicated salty sam and a man who knows a thing or two about our finned friends, I have to say that telling us that was a COD has got my blood boiling - we all know it was a Mackerel! Next, the picture of you Kite Surfing ??? Are you sure there isnt something you want to tell us ??, something you want to get off your chest? I have it on good authority that the picture was of you hanging on to your tent when it blew away in a gust of wind! Luckily, you were not wearing your Budgie Smugglers at the time. Speaking of which - have you seen the price of Y-Fronts at matalan these days? Scanadlous!Hope all is well on your side of the world and remember - Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back.

Rosco & Lesley Hi ya Hope you are not too home sick yet sounds like you still have some traveling to do. Weather here has been cold and we have had lots of snow. Pictures are great, looks like you had fun on your scuba diving with that large COD. Enjoy rest of your travels love Rosco & Lesley

Maximus Decimus Meridius Ho Hum................

Abdul The Goat Herder & His Musical Birianis Paul, Just to clear up that long conversation we had in SA - Ghandis first name ISN'T Goosey, Goosey, so there !!

Dain Bramaged Paul, just to let you know, arrived back from sunny Karachi last night. Nice place but not somewhere I would recommend that you include in your itinerary. So, looks as though the trip is going well although I was (again) a little concerned about the 'Budgie Smuggling' you do know that budgies are considered to be an endangered species in some parts (excuse the pun) and that smuggling them can bring with it a large fine. I remember, some years ago, smuggling a Jack Russell out of Doncaster in a similar manner, some years ago. Not such a problem although when I threw it a Boneo, now and then, to keep it quiet, it did cause me some pain. Where did you hang the millet, by the way.Nice new pics on your blog although it does appear that your leanings towards wanting to become an estate agent are evident, in as much as, pics of the lounge, dining area, kitchen and pool made me want to buy the place.Take care and enjoy but always remember - Bigamy : One wife too many. Monogamy : The same Thing!Mr. Bahn

The Hydrosub Girls It's ok, we've just googled budgie smugglers and on urbandictionaries.com have the following definition. "Australian slang term for men's tight fitting speedo style swimwear. The 'lump in the front' apparently resembles a budgie when it is stuffed down the front of someone's shorts. Ah, those crazy aussies!!" Every day is a school day here! xx
