was a good night, everyone made it in the end and many a tear was shed! doing all the last minute preperations now, bank holiday monday really not helping, thank god i've got tuesday. got the new oasis album so will put that on tape for us to listen to. how are you gonna be able to tell me what hostel your at, you've got no way of communcating with me!

Hey guys, I know I'm rather late with this but I've been in complete shock - GET IN RED MEN!!!! CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE!!! I can't believe it!! What a game, what a night (best of my life in fact). My eyes have seen the glory!! It was an incredible day out in Istanbul and yes I got my ticket so I witnessed the greatest game - EVER!!! It was emotional as you can imagine! Rowan - I didn't catch you before we left on Sat but have a great time out there!! Jon/Jack - the beards are coming along nicely lol!!! Enjoy!!

It was an incredibly interesting evening, unfortunately i didnt witness Jack tumble which would have been the funniest thing in the world, i believe i was in the girls toilet going for a pee as the boys cue was too long before a bouncer came in an removed me from the pretty sharply. I then ended up losing Jack and going off to some Strip Club with some English Lads and didnt return to the hostel until 10 in the morning by which time Jack was KO'd with the diryiest foot in the world!!!! But it was a good night

It is imperative that the Southampton selection makes an appearance! I havent experienced the kavos collection as yet but bring it aswell cos we've got a lot of driving ahead of us and need quality music. Have a good one tonight mate, i hope someone turns up so your not drinking on your own. We went out last night and and for the first time in a long time i got so pissed i lost all coordination and ability. Absolutely stacked it on the dancefloor and knocked over loads of people, aswell as loosing my footwear (what was i doing going clubbing in flip-flops?????). So i kicked off with 1 flip-flop on and relised i looked like an absolute t*** so had to leave and walked home barefoot at 7am. What a night. I hope tonight goes well mate, but look after your shoes!!!! As for NZ arrangements, wé'll book a hostel so you can just jump in a cab from the airport and meet us there. We'll let you know when we've booked it.

shall i just bring the southampton selection/ kavos collection?

good point, fly out 1st june, get to auckland 3rd june 12.00p.m. so you will be there b4 me, you 2 gonna meet me at the airport or what, how will i contact you? off out tonight 4 a farewell piss up, everyone seems happy that i'm going........ wait a minute!

Thanks for the info Row. However it would be fairly helpful to know what day you actually arrive. Have another go mate cos we need to know! We arrive in Auckland at about 3.30am on the 3rd. And it looks like you need to get some drinking practice in before you come out to NZ cos you sound like a bit of a Larry! Also we need you to make up some awesome tape compilations for our NZ road trip (im thinking Bruce springsteen, and other soft rock classics - you know what we want!). We've been looking at buying / renting a campervan (vengabus / partybus), its pretty cheap in NZ.

sorry, have i missed some important event in the last few days or something???? ;-)

Im not suprised Row, you were battered. You are the funniest man alive when your pissed.
Trying to get into Time with your liverpool shirt on inside out and back to front (they are not
going to fall for that one!). U legend!!

jim, steph, larry i chundered yesterday felt well rough and i had to go out again last night! i've watched the game back twice now, oh and we were champions of europe both times. jon i believe you want some info on my flight details, well i depart heathrow @ 10.15 p.m on wed 1st june, then go bangkok to sydney, sydney to auckland. due to arrive at 12.00 p.m. flight no. i think is QF 0163. HOWEVER, i,ve got to phone up 72 hrs b4 to confirm details. what else do you need to know? what are your details. apart from me needing to look out 4 two terrorist lookalikes with ginger beards!

Jon, i heard that Stephs new tattoo is a broken heart with your name underneath!!!!! I think he misses you.

Was a quality night in town, Steph was almost crying by half time. It was funny!
