Jez I think its clear that Ryan is either back in plymouth, pretending to be dead, or has found a girl who was not aware of the male species and so he is otherwise engaged. Ryan, I dont want to remind you that I work in an office and the internet is only so big, while I am happy google search 8 billion pages, most of them are crap, I am bored. I demand you entertain me. Take care big man. J.

Dave B Ding Dong mrs. Whats going down me old china? I have been reading about your exploits - very entertaining - good work on the recruiting of a Danish lap boy to ease the lonely nights. Where are all your freakin pictures you pillow biting mangina bruise? Get your finger out.. I am in Canada at the moment visiting some relatives - we are out in the sticks in Northern Ontario - I managed to find this seedy backwater hicks ville an awesome 1972 bbc computer in.. Tell me mode about the sheila's anyways, don't be shy.. Take it easy sport.

Max Hello Mate, Hows it going? Can you let us know that you are still alive and haven't been kidnapped by your new Danish travelling partner :-) 9 weeks til I am off, I can't wait ! I'm starting to get scared though - did you get that before you went? I've started having nightmares about missing my flight and crashing in the atlantic, or getting lost on a mountain (well, I always was a bit dramatic :-) ) Oh, and I got myself one of these sites, except I intend to use it ;-P The url is :- http:///www.offexploring.com/maxine I haven't put anything on there yet, but I will start as soon as I get out there. You missed an amusing night for Matt's birthday. We were going for a civilised meal at The Wild Orchid, but turned into a bit of a rowdy one, with people telling their tales of Matt's life....the one about the naked Matt and Jess in the bathroom was the best one lol. And I hear the IOW trip was even rowdier, with everyone dressing up as pirates (pictures will be available soon I'm told). Anyways, gotta run, catcha later, Max xxx

Vicky Hey Judith Chalmers! Long time no hear! Hope everything's ok and that you haven't had a run in with a demented kangaroo or something. If you get a chance then it'd be great to hear what you're up to. In the meantime, hope you're having an amazing time out there. PS-Cath, Martina, Lou and I started full time work three weeks ago. Best bet now is staying in Oz or BUPA!! xx

Jerome Salút mon chere amour, it has been a while since your last posting by others so again I shall step up to the plate. A good night was had by all, you were missed and your absence noted, I even devoted 5 minutes of my speech to you. Continue you fun, make sure to discover so of Oz's beauty as well as its wildlife.

Alex Hey mate, I sold that mobile phone you gave me on ebay for £140! Some Swedish dude took it, scratches an all! Felt a bit guilty about doing it at first, it was a most generous gift after all. But then I thought, "No, I must stay true to my instincts, Ryan would have wanted it this way". So I sold it. Yes, yes, what a git. But hey, I couldn't lie to you! You're a good man Ryan, a good man. And I promise that one day I will completely repay your generousity. I hope I've managed to p*ss you off with this news as this would be my record for a long-distance wind up! Seriously, hope things are going well up on that North East coast and that you're having a good time. And don't forget to swing and sway on Friday. You know why.

Jerome At least the "red dot" has been updated. I stare for hours sometimes at its little red blinking glow. In fact, Im begining to miss its cheeky reddish, ways, ohhh red dotty......

ryan I'm trying max - but most places wont let you touch the computer! R x

Max Where are all the photos you said you were going to post??????????

ryan Unbelievable.

Mark Hello mate, Just an update on life here. unsurprisingly all the girls passed their exams and Vicky & Catch got distinctions (clever girls ;)) They're all off travelling now for three weeks and then back in August to become Doctors. I'm curently getting ready for Morroco in 3 days time (bring on the trekking :)). Glad to hear you're doing cultural stuff and of course beating the Aussies at what you do best. Keep the site up to date & let's hear the latest. Mark

Max Hello !! Sounds like you're having fun...but drinking lots of beer??.....you???....why the big change in character? ;-) I was expecting you to get up to stuff, but visiting the prison in the first week? Way beyond my expectations.... Nothing very exciting happening, except I got my flights for Canada confirmed last week so it's all booked and we fly on 27th October ! We are planning on going round America around next March/April time. When are you planning on heading out that way? or you just gonna do south America? Have fun, and if you can't be good, be careful :-D Max xxx

The Bone By the way life is unbearable without you. I miss your carressing touch and your Ronan Keating smile already. I love you man.

The Bone Dudester, You better get me some naughty snaps of some fine young Sheila, or the bone will not be happy. Have a great time mate, catch you later. Matt

Mark H Hello mate, Hope you're there in one piece and have had your first shrimp on a barbie. Enjoy the pressie & teach the world how to be gooners :) Stick a message on soon. Let's hear how you're getting on!
