Awwww, Jasmine... - From: A Chile Reception
Yeah, we know the truth, don't we sweetheart? It probably wouldn't seem so bad if they were all out of the way on Easter Island or somewhere but right next to all those hot latino countries, well the contrast with their neighbours makes them seem so fucking miserable!

I agree! - From: A Chile Reception
I am baffled when I read other sites' descriptions of how warm and friendly the Chilean people are. Did they actually ever GO there? I have been all over Chile, and whereas they tend to be nicer in the north, the Chilean people as a whole were so rude to me that I have had recurring nightmares since I have been back. They are hateful to Americans, blondes, African-Americans, American "whites," and even myself, who speaks Spanish better than I speak English. I'm just sick of people promoting travel there by saying the culture is friendly. I mean, say the beaches and the mountains are beautiful, but don't say the people are friendly--that could amount to culture shock on a grand scale!!! Thank you for being honest about that!!!!!!!

Get back out there! - From: And I'm Spent!
I have had a great trip around Latin America reading your travel journal. Many years ago my New Zealand friend, who was a great traveller, simply jobbed her way from one trip to the next. Took a job for x number of weeks, for as long as it took her to pay for the next trip. For goodness sake, just get back out there, Graham. You have great writing potential and the world is literally your oyster. Bill Bryson, step aside!!!! Sue McCann

Graham... It's been emotional. And I hardly know you. You should definitely be some some of travel writer. Or maybe even a presenter like Jill Dando. But with a happy ending, of course. Mwa xx

String Master
Emotional - From: And I'm Spent!
I was crying at your last blogggg. How could the Argies be so cruel? You should have challenged them to a game of strings. You need about 10 players for this. You have to sit in at a table with a parasol in the middle of it and tie a string the parasol and to a testicle. Then someone yanks one of the strings and everyone has to guess who's string has been yanked. How about it?

Hi Son. Don't take any notice of the other women in the family ~ your hair looks wonderful! And please tell Mr Woo not to be so pompous. Is he a (north) American by any chance?

John Woo
tsc tsc - From: Pimp My Bus!
Wrong! First: South America is not a continent. The Continent is named AMERICA . South, centre or north is just a geo-reference of direction. Second: its' not all "enveloped by poverty and crime" at all... have you been in Brazil?

shamel - From: Pimp My Bus!
yo! this is a MAD coincidence but these lads were calling me shakira last night in the pub! like "oi shakira" and things. and what's even MADDER is that these fittie fittie fit fit dutch boys were doing the same thing a while back! god damn my perfecto latino looks. or maybe it's my big fat bum! who cares? not me that's for sure! negative attention is better than no attention after all!(?) have you been called shakira too yet, seeing as how similar we look? when you come back to good ole blighty u may get all confused and think you're still in columbia!! sorry bout the lack of feedback on the actual blog like but it's all about me me me innit! by the way pleeeeeease cut your hair before you come home! i thought you left mr majieka behind in meheeco?? xx

Almost time to kill the fatted calf! - From: FARC off.
So glad you made it safely to Colombia, son. My tears have now all dried and I have been busying myself putting your newly-acquired favourite food in the freezer for your return, as fish heads are somewhat cheaper than fatted calves! Every time I open the freezer their faces look back at me ~ their littlefeatures even more lived in than mine!

Salty love - From: ¿Sal, Señor?
Glad I got a mention in the blog Graham... Justly deserved, I feel. Unfortunately I had to put it all into an online translator to understand what you were talking about, and it came out like this: "The following day, we happened handling around to him watching lagoon after lagoon. Different forms! Different colors! Lagoons! And every time, the old one in the front would give 20 minutes to remove photos us. For already, we were but of 4,000m above and so we opened the enough window to show our cameras, to take them and to go to us. In effect, we finished the second so fast day that we arrived at the inn more than two hours before somebody more. And it did fried. -20º. Supo to water the rum that we took at least but I almost curled up with a girl that night (by the cold one, you understand to me) and truely having many desire of llevantar us to 4:30 in the morning... And we left, shortly before the dawn. " Not quite as eloquent as the Spanish version I'm sure... Hope you haven't gotten involved in any guerilla warfare, love me xx

1. mint sunglasses pic! A+ 2. i've noticed increasingly frequent allusions to the other 'big G' in momma's life: are you finally getting in touch with the higher source (other than when you're out "on the beers")? 3. "trying to look manly sitting on a car made out of plastic - and wearing a big gay visor" you forgot to mention that bit, you big girl (not really, me dig it hactually) and last but not least... 4. Don't fight the love for the sunrises.... Quit the pretendin dude... it's not necessarily a BAD thing, being like your father loveage you ginger monkey mwah x x x x

Somozas - From: Almost Accurate Nicaraguan History Lesson, Anyone?
I thought Somozas were small pastry parcels filled with a mixture of vegetables, spices and sometimes meat. Are they tasty? Yes. Are they a triangle-shaped filler of a snack-gap? Yes. Could they ever have ruled a South American country? The jury is still out.

Nice haircut, sexy! - From: Temples, Temples, Templzzzzzz...
Hey 'David' ! First I want to thank you for all your exciting stories on your weblog...;) But, don't worry, the Gestapo will follow you anywhere!! It would be too hard for me anyway reading all your travel stories, being back home again. It's so sad. But it was a lot of fun travelling with you. And I see it was a privilege for me, as apparently you prefer to hang out with the girls!;) Ok, Graham, espero que te vaya muy bien en tus viajes, cuidate! ...y no olvides.....please don't move the sink!! gracias!

Cant pull the wool over my eyes.... - From: Temples, Temples, Templzzzzzz...
I know where you are ! You are one of those con merchants that pretends to go away but doesnt and just makes it up ! Looking at your photos, apart from the one with the sweaty looking chicks, any one of them could have been taken within a stones throw of my house ! How far did you travel to see those sites again? I could have directed you less than 200 miles North of Where? and take exactly the same photos. At least somehow you have managed to make some chicks sweat alot on the way so thats pretty cool, at least ! I was in town on Saturday and Im sure I saw those kids in the top photo hanging round outside Footlocker. I think they were eyeing up a shootoff with the gang of similar looking kids outside Millets. Dangerous minds. As for that house, you cheeky twat - what reconstruction is needed? Looks alright ! Anyway son, its Sunday afternoon and Im doing something useful with my life.....not touring the world looking at Bradford in the sun....I have a date with the TV and a rerun of American Pop Factor...enjoy your beaches and your temples and your latin chicks....Im off to campaign for arranged gay marriges to the asian community...it is so unfair that asian gay men cant arrange to marry their male cousins and bum and oppress them in peace...

Er........ - From: ¡Goooooooooooooooool!
Sounds like you're having a great time. That bus driver must've been bad if even the "Boy Racer/Risk Taker" was scared! Your account of your travels is very graphic but I'm a little concerned about some of your language, as I have very proudly (and very foolishly) given your blog address to some of the people at church! Glad to see you're playing football. You need some exercise to counteract the tequilas and other Mexican grog consumed. Enjoy yourself.......

Perkins goes off to invetigate. Some girls with their pyjamas on and their knick knacks showing eating Jellied Eals in the corner singing Mary Poppins songs.... ...Graham - 'Alrigh gals'? Cockneys - 'your not a dirty Northerner are you?' Perkins..-'nah - cockney me, I is' Cockneys ' thats good, we aleady have one dirty Northerner with us already, we cant have two, the place would stink of bread and dripping' Perkins 'Thats alright, Im a Cockeyney like, and I likes some of those Jellied Eals. I know Little Mo and Sonya me.' Cockneys - 'come and join in our traditional cockney singalong and eat our whistle and flutes' All Cockneys together including Perkins sing the Eastenders theme tune...DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM DUM....DER DER DER DER DER DEEEE DERRR....etc...
