Hi ya,

Sounds like all that you have to do is change the screen resolution, in the controll panell. Go to display, then the settings tab and change the screen area to say around 1024-768 pixels, that'll sort you out. Well im not sure if you know but this is my last day in Oz today, cant beleave it i have been here 5 months! of to newzealand now will be there for 6 week then of to Figi for a week then off to Hawiai after that for a week so got a lot of moving to be done now, should be fun. Have you seen the DVD that kathryns got yet, i know that she came round on the weekend but dont think tat you were in.

any way best get going got a l;ot to sort before the flight tomorrow.

Hi Shane, this is now the second message I am posting as your dear beloved younger brother just deleted the earlier one. I think the next thing to do after this is to help him find a new home! Well, as I was trying to say earlier, nothing much has been going on here. James has taken to sea fishing again and has been most days this week. He is off again soon, pity it wasn't earlier! Nigel has joined him on a couple of occasions. But between the pair of them, the only fish I have seen is one James brought home yesterday. Apparently it is the best one he has caught so far. And the dimensions of this massive catch, from head to tail, 6 inches at best! He was slightly upset when Dad said it wasn't worth cooking! Have you heard about the cricket? We are undergoing a bit of cricket fever here. Everyone is suddenly interested, with the exception of me, I still consider it the most boring sport around. Dad and Kev have been following it closely along with the three football matches that have been on the tele this week, so its been a bit of a sports week! Kev has put a new graphics card in the pc, and it's still working! Only snag is that it has changed the screen size somehow and now, like this page, you have to use the scroll bar to read the text. I have tried to find where you can change the screen size, the controls on the monitor are not enough, don't suppose you can remember? Forget I asked, must be great not having to think about things like this? Just remember, I bought a new chair for the comupter and finally moved it to the end of the room and I have put it on the piece of mdf you had. Just means that there is now more room and is easier to keep tidy. Don't worry, haven't thrown the old desk out! Best go now before I bore you to death. Take care. Love Mum.

hello all,

As you probably know this is my last week in Australia, cant beleave it! Not sure if you have seen the DVD that i sent to Kathyn yet but she said that she will drop it round for you to look at this weekend. Was really good as you will probably see. well im off to newzealand next that should be good, gunno do a whole lot of crazy stuff there, maybe another bungy although im doubtful, definatly a sky dive and white water rafting, and probably some other s***.

anyways see ya laters

Well hello you, Am finally back home in England now wish I was still out with you as i had such a fab time and loved seeing you again. I'm fine now after finding the first day hard I'm sure that I will get back into the swing of things quite soon and it will keep me all busy. Found out today that I'm going to get some more money regarding the redundancies and hopefully this should pay for Las Vegas, only about 12 weeks and I'll be out again. Nearly finished that book of yours as the flight was so boring its quite good.
Have not got my results so not quite sure what I got in the exams so will try and give them a call on Monday and get them to send them again.
Will try and upload all the pictures tomorrow. Hope the scuba diving goes well.
Talk to you soon
Love you loads Kathryn

That sounds f***ing crap about the pigeons what did the say about it? No excuse really thats just lame. Got my first diving course on sataday will take me up to advanced scuba diver, then after that i will be doing me rescue, then my Dive master which will mean ill be able to get a job when i get back, Hopefully in the navy or summa! Kathryn went back today shes not happy, tears and all the rest off it, wierd kinda got used to her being arround again, never mind not long left now really arrrrahhhh!!!!! We went to look at the water falls recently, loads about and we saw a HUGE eagle we think it was a wegde tail eagle but not sure, this thing was about up to mu waits standing, and wings could have been 7ft in span, dad wouldn't wat that thing around i can tell you, it was ripping up a walabie at the time, amazing. guess thats it so cya
speak to you soon shane

Hi Shane, You made fool! I don't think I can think of anything I would rather NOT do. Dad said you are f*ing mad. But, least you can say you did it. Bit of a fiasco today with racing. John Fields had to go out, so everyone agreed that they would get the liberation details of the fed lib line. Well, guess what, they didn't update the line so we didn't know the birds were up. One of the new members ran dad to say he had just clocked a bird, so I thought as a safety measure, better go up and check, there were 6 birds waiting to go in. Dad is not happy! He rang the Chairman of the fed to complain.................. Other than that, back to normal really, holiday over and I had to go back to work this week. So I did the lottery today, didn't win though! Nothing new there. Southampton had their first game to day at home against wolves, 0-0. Guess they should have won, but at least they didn't loose. Kev went over to watch, he's not home yet. God sorry, this is just boring crap so I had best go. Take care. Love Mum

Hello all, well looks like you are all having fun there without me. That sounds pritty good 60p a pint thats even cheeper that thailand. Did you win your poker james. GUESS WHAT i did a bungy jump the other day in the middle of the rain forest I f***ING s*** MYSELF. we have it all on dvd so kathryn will bring it round when she gets back so you all can laugh at me. I am toiling with the idea of taking on a professonal scuba diving course so that I can run trips, think that that would be so cooool, you know make a living at it. Kathryn getting worried now as she has only about 5 days left, then she has to go back to work HAHAHA suckers!!!!! cairnes is a really cool place, loads of stuff going on alll the time. well better get going my money is going to run out. shane

looks like you worked out how to use your camera now.You've got some well cool photos in there ,just set the sunset one as the wallpaper.Kinder jealouse looking at the photos i guess ill have to do it myself.
As you know iv'e just been to serbia we had a greate time the people were amzingly cool and the beer was astonishly cheep (about 60p a pint) we got ruined every night for six days and only spent about £200 all in.
The festivall was really mad set inside an old castle with all types of different music set in different parts of it we saw white stripes, underworld, carl cox and loads more dj and people we never heard of any way when its 60p a pint you kind of forget who you have and havent seen
I'll send you some photos so you can see for your self

Got to go ill speek to you soon

hi shane james is writing this for me love the pictures thank you for your card i was pleased to get it look like your having a good time and must be looking forward to kathryn arriving. How about another card? Keep on enjoying your self love to the lands grams bye bye

got me a poker tournament in a min i am going to win it. going go kart racing on thurday do u want to come oooo no u cant ha ha. you could have got some better pictures of that wet Tshirt competition that looked goooooood fun dont think katheryn would approve anyway haha. peg said she like your room so u lost that. think you best put another shrimp on the barbie mate. P.S. From Mum, forgot to say that Dad and I went to see Status Quo at Beaulieu last Friday night. Was good. It was funny to watch when you think how old they are! Every now and then between songs, they would make a thing of having a rest! But not bad for old timers!

Hi Shane, well thought I should drop you a line. Had a look at your pictures, some amazing views. James looked through them with me and the 3rd coolest beach I can understand why, however, James was not so impressed, his comment was 'that's no good, hasn't even got a shop"! Well some things never change hey! I am half way through a fortnight off. Dad and I spent a few days in Cornwall last week. We camped down at Lizard Point, Englands most southerly spot. We visited St Ives, Lands End, Sennen cove and loads of other smaller coves. One spot, called the devils frying pan would have given Damien Hill a problem to drive. The section of the road nearest the beach, was only wide enough for one car, this then fed into the main street, again only wide enough for one car and the road gradient must have been 45degrees with a corner as you came out of the high street (slightly overstated here I thing) a corner over 90degrees on a 45 degree up, I can only thank God another car didn't come the other way! I expect Kathryn must be there now, hope she had a safe journey without any major delays. We went to Salisbury Market today and Dad bought 3 more chickens, but nothing else, so I suppose I should be glad! Tomorrow or Thursday we hope to go to the New Forest Show, but the weather has turned for the worst here as well. Not quite raining yet, but it will before the end of the day. James is hassling me as he want to put a message on. Take care. Love Mum.

Happy Birthday you little nutter. Well i am in Carines now, and kathryns out tomorrow, did you get the card? Any way not sure Kathryn is going to be that happy as it has been raining quite alot just as of late, just her luck. Any case i will be trying to upgrade my scba diving soon, so that shoyuld be real cool. anything happening there?
