Leeds lost 2-0 to Oldham yesterday but the mighty rosebud beat Beany, Steve & Luke's team 1-0 on thursday. Luke played 2nd half upfront for us!!!!!! and he scored the goal. But last sunday he missed an open goal from 6 yards - it is miss of the season and wont be beaten. also unearthed a quality left back in Rich Hallas. Speak soon |
| 17th August 2008 rachel kitto | MOTD - From: Loving Tupiza Not sure you really want to hear the results. Leeds lost 2-0 to Oldham - at least they weren't at home, sorry yes they were. Only 2 teams with 100% record already in the League 1. Oldham and Carlisle. Saturday brings a huge away game at the mighty Yeovil. Oh what its like living in the lower divisions. Have a great time camping. Phill & Rachel |
| 15th August 2008 lyns and the boys | riley's next - From: Leaving La Paz!! sorry didn't email yesterday but hope you got my text from the team! glad you managed the hike, not easy at times but it's well worth the view at the sun gate isn't it! riley the little monster is walking ahhh. he's so cute though, the current fave is to scrunch his nose up like some sort of devil child whilst laughing hysterically. he also waves and claps on command. i've decided to be an army style mother like family von trapp (stopped short of using a whistle though) as riley does not sit still and has his mitts in EVERYTHING. the joys of parenthood!!!! anyway. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU (and the rest of the song). Hope you had a top one, memorable at the least!!! glad to see you are doing everything, go crazy until you get to rio and then sit on the beach drinking caipirinha for a few days to recover!!!! i'm soooo jealous as it brings back memories of what a fab trip we had and want to do it all again!!!! Post some more pics, take care, have fun, drink lots, see you soon. xxxxxxxxxxxx |
| 15th August 2008 Christian Davis | Travel Claim - From: Leaving La Paz!! Laura, I think if you check your policy details you will find your not covered for lost proprty in a 24 hour time period covering shopping for Coca leaves and Booze. That said if you bought the dynamite I'm sure that could change our views. All the best |

Think you'd have had trouble trying to train at 4,000 ft here mate! Alls well here except the mounting piles of work. Kate's had her baby. All didn't actually go very well at all but mother and baby are doing fine now. My exciting news is that I completed Call of Duty 4 yesterday, only took a few hours so very dissappointing. |

| 30th July 2008 Rob Lancashire | You think you're enjoying yourself... - From: We've moved hotels and the internet is quicker...... Skegness was awesome at the weekend. 30 degrees, all the beer and arcades you could want - why go abroad? I did develop a gambling habit though and had to be dragged away from the 2p slot machines after wasting 50p! I did win a little cat in a dustbin though (a toy thankfully) so it wan't all bad. Despite being the @r$e of England, Boston was surprisingly nice too and it all made me wonder whether its worth going all the way to South America...... I'm back at work today..... its definately worth going all the way to South America! |
| 29th July 2008 Christine Beresford | Easy does it - From: We have our bags!!!! You won't be able to enjoy happy hours whilst trekking! Just as well really - you might fall off the mountains.
