what has gone wrong? This is getting worrying. I saw Clarkey in Melbourne. He seemed in good health. I left him in the lobby of his youth (hah!) hostel.
At the time I didnt pay any attention to the fact that he was standing very close to an unsteady and very heavy looking filing cabinet.
As I left I heard a strange thump/squelch sound turned round to see Andy had gone but the cabinet had fallen over. I realise now that since no-one has heard from him it seems that he's in Melbourne but trapped under something heavy.
Even as I type this his weakly wriggling fingers are probably struggling just milimeters from his phone and likely salvation.
Maybe someone could call the local police? I dont know the name of the hostel but if they went round a few and listened for someone moaning in a Leeds accent they'd soon find him.
Even if he isnt trapped under anything.
????? French girl is filing a complaint : no travelblog updates in years (!), not that many (interesting) emails either, does Clarky think this is a positive attitude after rugby downfall ?? Is Clarky sulking ?
it all starts to make sense... The pieces of the puzzle slowly put themselves together. So THEY are the people you were talking to on the Web camera at Bojangles place. Must say, the safari sounded excellent but no exciting stories of wrestleing crocs, saving damsels in distress from man-eating snakes and spiders or white water rafting. Still, i suppose someones getting some enjoyment out of this...
Thorny Devil Thanks for the natural history lesson - YOU FREAK!!! We want more dirt than that on the bloggs... wheres the body count? No stories of back-packers being brutally murdered on the trans-australian freeways? Shark attacks? Scorpion bites? Spider encounters? Jees... call yourself a traveller? (nice work mate, keep it up!!)
What Rivers?? From your comment "You will also notice from the photos, that not many rivers contain water!!!" - what photos were you referring to? Certainly not the blogged ones!! Great to talk to you yesterday mate and had an excellent laugh at your expense watching you 'move' on the dance floor (which can only be losely described as dancing - more like a puppet with its strings cut!!). Boston looms ever nearer and I can almost taste those Fenway Franks!!
Lots of Swans, no lager... G'day cobba. Whats all this then, Swan River, Swan Bell Tower - where's the Swan lager brewing company?? Devastated to hear that the weather is too warm for you Andy, must be a nightmare for you. And as for the time taken to do the travel bloggs, what else have you been doing between drinking and relaxing?? Only 100 days to go!! (90 till Boston!!).
Tooheys extra dry for us please ...we love reading your blog just before bed cause it makes us real sleepy .....glad you are having fun...we dont miss you too much yet.Take care big boy and use protection. Mozzie spray that is.
blah blah blah blogg .....how are you doing no eyes, how do you see the sights with such tight eyes, we miss you and like to lokk at your cheesy pics! Glad you are having fun.
Ozzie F1 Clarkey mate, I'm in Melbourne for work at the end of March and the guys Im with are aiming to go to the Grand Prix on the weekend 1st/2nd April. Gotta see you then!
The party continues?? Sounds like you're having an awesome time in SE Asia mate... (Can you tell I've been in Oz for the past 4 months?) I was trying to work out who was sending these journal articles - one of the computers I was using couldn't access this site, you were the last person on the list!!! How long are you away for? I was in Asia last year and managed to do parts Malayisa, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam before coming to Oz and NZ and then working in Brisbane... Are you on my mail list? I don't think so... Are you coming over to Oz at all? I'm here until Feb 27, before heading to South America, drop me a line and we could meet up... Leeds scraped a 0-0 with The Rams at the weekend, which leaves Derby just as deep in the shit!!! Enjoy, Steve-O
Aren't you forgetting anything ? Very interesting account of your last days, but, sorry to insist, ....don't you have anything to share with your friends about a new haircut ? Doesn't seem fair to keep that for yourself, does it ?? (and i don't think censuring this comment would be very sporty either..)
Thailand... Puff... call that a night out? I've pissed longer!
Xlnt to hear from you my friend... when do you get a mobile again or are you kicking that into touch?
The Danish cartoons are pretty big news over here as well with lots of demo's including a "mock suicide bomber" who was on parole for dealing crack (very religous hey), apparently the bacon sandwich peace offering from the crazy Danes did not go down too well either.
I would recommed you hire a driver and let him take you round the Island taking in the lake that I cannot remember the name of. Remember there were lots of monkeys though that got a bit over excited (if you know what I mean) when you fed them bananas. Leeds drew 0-0 over the weekend with Derby, still in 4th place and play Watford tomorrow night at ER.
Damn What you mean you are still alive, bleak :0) !!
The Rhinos have made a winning start beating Huddersfield 20-12 so hope that is some good news you probably know anway. Well carrying on having a good time chap
THE YORKIE SO A YORKIE HAS BEFRIENDED A YANK, WHAT A COMBINATION. I AM SURPRISED YOU HAVE LASTED AS LONG ON YOUR OWN. IT MUST BE ONE HELL OF A LEARNING CURVE FOR YOU. HAVE YOU STILL GOT YOUR LAPTOP OR HAS THAT BEEN NICKED AS WELL AS YOUR PHONE. GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU AND HAVE A GOOD TIME.
HOW LONG ARE YOU OUT THERE FOR?
Greetings Hi mate, look at you gone all Judith Chalmers !! I hope you are having a great time, but if you cant get work over here I think it was a bit extreme to go to the other side of the world to become a cabana boy. Take care and watch the dogs, specially in the burgers
Your not really there Hey fella I recognize that pic it was taken in 1994 in Hornsea. I reckon your in a dodgy working mens club in Morley. Leeds won at the weekend still 3rd fella. Will keep you updated.
