Good results for the Pilgrims last night! WBA and Palace drew and Hull got beat.. still 7th for the Green army! If we finish higher than 11th will be our best positon for over a decade!
What happened to the toffees? Guess they are concentrating on the league now and that elusive 4th place.....
Argyle have the next two fixtures that will define the year for them..away to Bristol City who are top and then home to Watford...

A truly awe inspiring journey - we have followed your adventures with envy and enthusiasm.
No doubt, you will soon be back to the reality of work (or having to find it to pay for the next trip) but your memories and this blog will be with you always!
Best regards from Down Under - well done!

Smiffie,
well done mate - that was an epic trip and you still managed to keep the blog going for virtually the whole five months.
I guess we'll be seeing you soon then, and you can complete your blog by downloading all the remaining photos - just so I can have a coffee and a break and look at them.
M People!!!!!! It was Soul 2 Soul ! But talking of back to reality - it must be really weird for you, after seeing so much of the world, all those people all those places, and realising that life and reality is so different for so many people.
Its hard to beleive that in this day and age there are people who live without the basic needs in life, and while the rest of us enjoy life's simple pleasures like a refreshing pint and a decent football club..... others live in Plymouth
See you soon bud

Hey Tony,
I get back to plymouth on the 14th March in like 2 weeks. Going to see the Pilgrims play Coventry away on the 29th... no chance as champions, but maybe a play off position. I put some money on them to go up at the start of the season, so that means no chance...if we do I will be quids in!
All my love to you all.
Steve
TONY

Hey Sir Topper,
Sorry for late reply. Terracotta Army was brilliant and I was real lucky because I went on the first day of the chinese new year and got a book signed by the original farmer who found them!!! ( he only turns up 2 times a year to do book signings) He said he was very lucky to find them because he was still pissed on cider after going to the Wurzels concert in Wuhan the night before!
Steve
NEWSFLASH - The Gay Sailors win for a 4th time in a row......12 points out of 12!!!....storm up to 5th in the Championship and still looking for a playoff position..... END OF NEWSFLASH

Hi Guys and everyone else!
Look I know the spelling is really crap on the blog.....its just the keyboards feel as if someone has spewed up on them and well with the speed on the connection there is always like a 30 second delay between typing and it coming up on screen. Then when you want to correct, it takes like 20 seconds for each character. I have tried typing more slowly, but that does help much either.
So sorry you will just have to put up with all the spelling errors and read through it. Good news is that I can edit when I get home, which is just as well as will have nothing else to do!
In Mumbai now waiting for a 22 hour train ride to Agra...just to see hte Taj Mahal...oh the fun of travelling. Also gone from freezing to boiling in 2 days!
See Argyle got their 3rd win in a row the other day and going back up the league....... common you greens!

Snudger,
Good to see you still alive and your Chinese seems good as I noticed your appear to be fluent in it with "xplain" and "whihc" in your last posting.
This should help you as I noticed on the BBC website that there are food shortages and large crowds have been gathering around the main square in Bejing looking for food and warmth (Better keep tight hold of your Lambretta gear). The last time you saw crowds like this was when the Worzells played Plymouth in 1976 when you where a teenager.
Guess this time you "Havent been lucky with the weather"
Anyway girls in the Paradise Bar say hi....

Hi All,
Just to say I am safe and sound...been stuck in middle of China for 3 days waiting to get a train ticket. Wille xplain more on the blog later!
Now in Hangzhou whihc is 2 hours west of Shanghai...
Cheers all
Steve
PS another win for the Pilgrims against Barnsley!!!
Jay
So that's Everton, Plymouth and Arsenal all won then...
I reckon Smiffie went a bit overboard with his celebrating - a bit too much green tea, that's why we haven't seen him on here for a while...
...either that or the Chinese Secret Service have nabbed him cos of Sir Topper of Toppington's bourgeiouse comments...
Tony
Hey Steve, looks like your have the time of your life on your journey. We have been keeping up through this site. We are all well and look forward to seeing you soon.....with all our love...Tony,Diana,Salma and Isabella....xxxx. PS.keep well bro.

China sounds cool! Hope you are still enjoyong it.
I bet the Terracotta army was amazing to see, I remember studying a bit about it at school. Discovered in 1974 by local farmers who were taking a break form drinking cider and singing songs by The Wurzels!Some of them are on tour at the British museum in London at the moment, the terracotta army not The Wurzels!
From memory there are about 8000 figures standing, silent, looking forward in pain, so in that respect its very similar to watching Argyle.
Enjoy the rest of your time in China and remember they have built 152 power stations there since i've been writing this message. Save the World! OOps hope this message doesn't get intercepted by the Chinese Secret Service and I really hopee you don't get arrested for having it on your web-site.
