Maybe you could look up some of the family history under the name of Littborg. We caught up with Brett & Carly the other night for Roger's 60th it was good to have a Lethborg representation at the do. Suppose you heard about your cousin Luke getting married in Nov up in Sydney. Enjoy the rest of your trip! |

| 25th June 2008 Naomi Chandler | Wonderful World - From: You may think I'm nuts Chris, I never imagined how many amazing places you would see, its just incredible to think how much is out there isn't it! Bath is truely magical, when i was there last year it was one of my favorite places, that are down Hope Cove, so many people from OZ visit the UK and never make it down that far, but as you now know, it is the most breathetaking part of England! My partner Tom is from Wedmore which is only round the corner from Bath, we have only been speaking recently of moving there, the photo's you have are almost exact to mine! And also, i can't believe you road naked around London, what a thrill!!! I couldn't imagine you riding naked around Scottsdale, let alone London!, that place is scary enough without you riding around starkers! ha ha! Well i hope you find what you are looking for in this wonderful World. Take Care. Naomi. |

| 29th November 2007 Courtney | another thing... - From: When in Rome There will be a table top dancer all dressed in silver and later if you are game you get up and dance with everyone on the table and get free shots :) |
| 29th November 2007 Courtney | Advice for Greece - From: When in Rome Hey guys! Great work with the blogs as usual :) You have definately found your calling - do a journalism course and you will make millions hehe. Just some advice for Greece - if your going to take a Taxi anywhere, agree on the price BEFORE he takes you there, they are the worst for being ripped off. Also if you go to Mykonos ask around for a bus to the beaches, they depart from a cafe where you buy tickets, and go to a beach called Paradise Beach - its incredible! The bus ride is an experience in itself you dont know whether you're going to get their alive :) If you do go to the beach as soon as you walk through and get to the sand part turn to your left and go right across until you see hot pink chairs - you normally have to pay to use them but say your with Trafalgar tour (if they question you) and you get them for free. Also if little philipino guys or gals come around asking for massage...GET ONE! The best massage ive ever had in my life for 10 Euro! I was a bit bruised the next day hehe but it was unbelievable. Thats really it - the Greece are the friendliest lot and soooo much history as well! I hope you like oily food too :) Talk soon, Luv Court. |
| 26th November 2007 Erin | - From: Diverse Italy Hey Kylie & Sluggar!! sounds like you are enjoying the food in Italy he he!

| 28th October 2007 Kylie's old aunties | woh!! - From: Take us back to the Alps Hi Kylie and Slug, Sounds like your having a fabulous time and seeing so much of the world. Auntie Yvonne thinks you are so brave Kylie for having a go at so much and all that hiking and sleeping in paddocks etc etc. Makes being in old Tassie fairly boring and mundane I can tell you. Keep enjoying and see you soon. Love Helen |

| 29th September 2007 Mum | B & F - From: OCTOBERFEST Howdy, Well we have just had the Best & Fairest count at the clubrooms, and the boys are just settling in to watch the Grand Final.

Ressies was won by Nudge, with Nigel Russell second and Jo Fish third. The seniors was won by Mick Rainbow (58) Troy Milne (54) and Damian Brown (49).

| 21st September 2007 John Dulle | Living the dream.... - From: Loving the wine Chris I enjoy living vicariously through you. You are really living the dream man. I have always wanted to go to Germany and you are going to be there for Octoberfest. You sure are hitting the right countries at the right time for drinking fests (ie Dublin on St.Paddys). Don't forget to give me a heads up when heading to the US and I will hook you up the best I can. John Dulle |
| 13th September 2007 Erin | Hey Guys - From: Back Home Hello there Kylie and Slug, Once again gr8 photos! I can't believe the views from the places where you have camped! I hope you are having fun in Germany!! Love Erin |
| 26th August 2007 Mum | Great to see you bolgging again!! - From: In the heart of England Hi, Its great to see you blogging again. It is like a little soap opera and we cannot wait to see your next instalment!! I'm glad the tent is easy to use for you, but it looks like you may have to go through your luggage to empty out. How is Kylie going with hers?? Well yesterday was not a good footy day for Scottsdale. The unders had their first loss for the year against Longford. The reserves and the seniors were also beaten, so that is the end of the year for the ressies and seniors, but we still have the unders to go. Lets hope that they can go all the way. Last night we had Kerry O'Keefe at the clubrooms. This was a terrific night with a huge crowd. It was amazing, that when he spoke there was dead silence in the room, even the boys down the back were quiet. He had us all in fits of laughter, and when he laughed, well the whole crowd cracked up. Today is the final draw of the Silver Circle, so the boys are pumped for that. So, all in all, it has been a huge weekend for the club. Your father and I are at work today, but he will go over in a little while for the Silver Cirlce. Nothing much else has happened. There have been a few people come into the shop and say they are glad that you are blogging again, so no doubt the word will get out and your stories will be around and about. Kevin (Dulux) was in the shop on Friday and I was looking at your site, so he had a read. He was amazed by it all, so he is going to look your site up and read them all. He loved the ones about England (of course) and was impressed that you went to a soccer match. Anyway I had better get back to work, so keep safe and love to you both, Mum xxxx |

| 18th June 2007 dianne haywood | free hugs - From: The London Life Hi Christopher, glad your settled in london.Looking forward to wedding next year and xmas day at bretts,scary,...Jesse printed FREE HUGS on his tshirt and went to the mall he scored 56 hugs.This was back in february.What a boy will do to meet chicks..sad..But enterprising...Keep safe, luv dianne.. |
| 15th June 2007 Ben | G'day - From: The London Life Hey Slugger, good to see u are finally settled in sounds like it was pretty hard for u and Kylie to get a place organised. Don't know if you've had a footy report lately but we are sittin 5th on the ladder at the moment beat Bridgenorth by 48 pts in out last game and we have Hilwood this week at home. Even the mighty Bombers are flyin they're 4th on the ladder haha. Now i do know the answer to your time problem so i'll see if i can explian it to u.. Greenwich is where time starts and from there with every 15 degrees of latitude 1 hour is either added to greenwich time if you live east of greenwich and if you live west of greenwich 1 hour is subtracted from greenwich time. So Australia is 10 lots of 15 degrees of latidude east of greenwich so we are 10 hours ahead.. Time only goes for plus 12 hours east and minus 12 hours west of greenwich before they both come together at the international date line which is directly on the other side of the world to greenwich.. Its pretty complex i know! haha but if you can make any sense of that, that is your answer. Anyway hope all is well and look forward to hearin from you soon. Ben |

| 26th April 2007 Mathew & Nikki | Yes, you are very Ugly - From: No monsters up here Happy Birthday / ANZAC Day Slug. Hope you had an enjoyable hike on your birthday...fun. We had a bbq and a few beers to celebrate ANZAC Day here in Briz and i am sure we would have done the ol diggers proud. The Hoff has moved back to SA (left today) and the farewell celebrations seemed to have lasted for two weeks. Other than that Nikki and I both keeping busy with all this work. Nikki got jobbed by one the pupils and I not happy about it at all. Went to ANZAC Rugby Test between Oz & NZ which Oz won comfortably and was my first game of live Rugby, a little boring but a pretty good spectacle. Keep enjoying yourself Slug (and I am sure there are no spelling mistakes in this little piece). Mathew & Nikki |
