sounds like you got out of shanghai just in time, shame you picked up that flu, but we did warn you about the birds out there.
I thought it was spelt Minge? I know on flash gordon he's portrayed as a bit of a c**t, but he sounds like a p**** really.
I'd love to go to bejing, it must be a wonderful place, even if its cold, will you go walking along the topper the wall, or will the thought of walking it in that cold make you quayle?
Anyway mate, wrap up warm, it probably was the sudden change in temperature, and you probably weren't eady for the sudden change, but hope you feel better soon.

***********BREAKING NEWS**********
Benjani failed to meet the transfer deadline in time to seal his move from Pompey to Manchester City.
He could not get to Manchester before the cut off as the M6 was blocked by balloons at junction 17 near Sandbach Services!
This is the 2nd time in a week that the Manchester club has been caught in an inflatable controversy!
Jimmy Saville had no comment to make on the subject but condoned the personal attack made on him by internet bully Jay from merseyside. "thats the last time i fix it for him" said the ageing Leeds legend, before adding "i have commenced proceedings to get the badge back of Jay and hope to hear from my lawyers soon"
Jay was unavailable for comment at his penthouse home, earlier today...........

*********BREAKING NEWS*********
A larg group of Man U, Chelsea and Everton Fans are getting together to pay £5,000 each to buy LFC and then recoup their money by selling off their players and their ground. With any spare cash they intend to throw a party on the site where Anfield used to be.
Mr Jerome Kerviel, treasurer of the Liverpool Fans bid, who had said earlier today that he's not worried about rival bids as he reckons he can boost the funds of the Liverpool fans by playing the markets, has not been seen since the money markets closed late this afternoon.

Hello Mr Smith
Apologies for contacting you via your web-site but i have left your other contact details at the office and it is quite difficult for me to access them at the moment.
Anyway, I think i have managed to work out why your credit card isn't working. You are over your limit by £3.7 billion folowing a few items that went through last week.
Hope this clears things up and just so you know i don't work for Societe Generale any more. I start a new job as head dealer with Northern Rock Offshore on Monday.
Au Revoir mon amie.
JK

P.S. if its cold tonight, don't forget to wear two pairs of socks...
Jay
Smiffie,
glad you made it mate - although by the sounds of it your not! Told you you'd need more than a fake Plymouth t-shirt and your long shorts...
Just to keep you up-to-date with the BBC news, Liverpoo got beat again last night and are now 7th in the League, and their fans are talking of getting together to buy the club off Tom and George, apparently 100,000 of them at £5,000 each is all they need, they've even got a new banner for it "100,000 DICs instead of 2" or something like that....
Can't believe you've got Panda skin gloves mate - its not wonder their an endangered species... a bit like Liverpool fans at the minute
Smiffy
Hey guys,
Great messages keep them up!
Just a quick note to say that I am safe..not that anyone is really worried about me.The flight did take off and so I am in Shanghai now....christ its freezing, snow everywhere. Also to make things work the local power company are shutting down sections of ther city, cant work out why...but guess what my little hotel was in the first area to be done, so lost power for like 30 hours...... overnight it got to minus 7 degrees...I almost froze to death.
Finding Internet cafes are almost impossible as the government closed loads down last year apparently when 25 people got burnt to death in one last year when faulty electrics started it! Also when you do get on you only get a small amount time. Oh and you cant get sites like BBC.CO.UK as the government block them...no chnace of me looking at my usual websites then!!
I will write more later, not easy in panda gloves though!!!

Smiffie-
Where are you? Where are you? come on lets be havin ya!
I must agree with Jay, that Jimmy is a right balloon!
Enjoy China and smoke me a guinea pig, oh no that was Peru, smoke me a student!

Jay
Smiffie - where are you? Missed your blog this morning, so that means either;
a) you managed to get sorted on your flight to Shanghai and are now shivering outside the main terminal in the longest bus queue in the world waiting for the snow to thaw so the buses can start running again
b) flight is still delayed so your still slumming it in Le Meridien and can't be arsed getting out of the pool to blog
c) Le Meridien has had enough of your snoring and kicked you out and you're now living in a hong kong squat working for the triads and you're too busy to blog.
If its the last one mate, good luck with your new career, it might be a bit dodgey but less so than Abbey and they have a better pension plan.
Talking of balloons, ignore Jimmy Saville - he's just excited cos the Manchester derby is coming up... yes I thought he was a leeds fan as well, but apparently he has a reputation for hanging around glory holes....
Sir Jimmy Saville
Now then, now then..
China Crisis were a bit before my time and i bow down to the knowledge of the 80's pop expert Jay on that one. I know he loved The Communards and was often seen around town with Jimmy Sommerville look-a-likes. In fact he'd often disappear up to his room crack the vaseline out and perform a Bronski Beat or 2 before supper! During one half term, he even changed his name to Jay "Smalltown boy"Bronski and hung around local theatres.
Enough of that. What I do know is that the other band you mentioned Snow Patrol, were formed in Dundee, Scotland (were Argyle get most of their players from) and they were originally called "Shrug"(which is what Argyle fans do most weekends). They changed their name to PolarBear (you'll be seeing some of them soon) in late 1995 before becoming Snow Patrol (which is what you said you'd be doing in your blog) due to another band with the same name. Can't recall any "chinkeys" in the band though!
Talking of chinkeys, i'm off to the shops for a take-away. While at the shops i might buy some balloons for my birthday party next week.
Talking of balloons, i must say how funny it was to see Man City crash out of the cup as that Everton reject Michael Ball got tackled by a ballon, i bet he felt deflated after that.
Talking of deflating things the valve is faulty on my "Juicy Lucy" inflatable friend and she went down on me last night.
Talking of...blah, blah, blah. altogehter now .... Blue Balloon, i saw you standing alone.
Come On You Balloons
Sir Jimmy
Jay
Oi!
One minute you say you feel an affinity to Everton, the next you say China Crisis was a Manchester band! They were from Kirkby (Everton's future home), and not one of them was a "chinky", they were all kirkbyites (although I do agree one might have been of asian decent).
Right that's the 80's put to right - with any luck this current china crisis will last another 3 weeks and you can chill out in Le Meridien! or should that be ...
