Re: Byron Bay Thanks for the tip, can't be too careful with those buggers eh. Already booked a tour to Fraser Island from a place called Rainbow Beach....population 1050. Probably be there next week sometime I reckon. No black widows yet but seen a huntsman, massive thing!
Byron Bay Just been talking to one of the girls at work who's just got back from Australia. She'd been to Byron Bay and Brisbane as well as her sister's in Adelaide. Anyway, she recommends a trip to Frazer Island which is just North of Brisbane. Also there's a jungle walk that you might fancy. If you do - keep checking for leeches on your legs and ankles. They inject an aneasthetic at point of entry so that you don't feel them. Then they inject an anti-coagulant to stop your blood clotting. Her boyfriend didn't realise he'd got a leech stuck to him until much later and ended up with one white trainer and one red trainer due to him bleeding for ages..........nice thought to keep you on your toes son. Seen any black widows yet? Favva
Vegas.... Not a rescue chicken lad, it's a normal car but yeh it's going pretty well. Basically we land in LA and fly out of San Francisco calling in on Vegas along the way. Get it booked son, those poker cards won't play themselves!!
Vegas 28th/29th April, hmmm... We'll look into flights and accomodation and let you know. You flyin home from Vegas or you got another stop off? Barnsley boys in Vegas would be sweet! Hope the Rescue Chicken is holdin up well lad, enjoy.
Car Mitsubishi 380 lad, not too shabby, got a lot more balls to the engine than the mini. Heard about the hurricanes, not so good here either. 31c and I've got a reyt dab on!
Vegas Now then cockle, I'm in the USA from 26th April - 6th May so I reckon I'll be in Vegas around the 28th/29th for a few days depending on the fundage. Be good if you 2 could call over for a tarn reunion. Let us know how it goes......
Alright char What model motor you driving?? Roof on the old green bullet is leaking again, pissing all down my arm all the time. With these hurricanes we've been having, I can barely keep the little sod on the road as it is without that distraction. Anyway as they say in the middle east, Dubai.
We've got an Idea Now then Pap lad, me and Fenton have had an Idea...When you gonna be in Vegas and for how long? We're on abart avin a lad's hol there this year so would be sweet to time it while you're already theer. What you think?
Enjoy thi road trip. Stu
e-mail it to us 21Mb is a massive file - It'll take ages to upload - couldn't you just upload a snippet of it. If you still can't upload it, e-mail it to us - it might take a while to attach itself though at that size. I suppose you'll be off up North now then son - a bit closer to home eh! Howling 70mph gales here at the minute so I suppose whilst you're snorkelling on the coral reef you'll be missing flying your kite and getting piss wet through in the process. Anyway drive safely son and Okocha later.

Upload your Video Now then squire, I've just been looking at a video of the Maldives on this here website. Apparently you can upload videos to your blog as well. Any chance of sticking that New Year's day video on lad? Favva
Re: Carbon No sign of Matt Carbon squire, maybe they also realised how bad he is! Think either Sydney or NZ had Sean Devine as well, he used to play in 2nd division didn't he
Very Funny lad Found this one very funny lad. Keep up the good work! Looking at that map on the bottom corner of this page, looks like you'll need about £300 worth of petrol to get up to Cairns. Looks about 2,000 miles away. At an average speed of 40mph driving 5 hours per day, that'll take you about 10 days rpovided you don't hit any kangaroos on the way. Apparently there's nowt but gum trees all the way up that coast so don't go falling asleep at the wheel. Take care lad and drive steady. Favva
hola hope all is well lad, just finishing off my first week back to work. Like i've never been away. If I win a rather substantial amount of money on the lottery this week i'll join you in oz. Hope you're not getting too much piss ripped out of you for the ashes whiooping we received. Have a few southern comforts and lemonade for me lad.
Not at all jealous Trevster has just forwarded me your latest blog and I'm reading on my first morning back at the old factory. Sounds like you are having a great time, have a few tinnies for me while I get back into the work mode
How's the Tan? Eh up Johnnyboy Mum here just read your blog, brill photos and as usual great, really entertaining write-up just like you are telling us face to face. What a different Christmas Day for you think me n your Dad will try that one year, sat on a beach supping a beer, beats turkey and freezing cold weather any day.Missed talking to you, but heard you talking when you were on the phone to your Dad so knew you were okay. Nan sends her love says she is missing talking to you so please try and phone her she'll be chuffed to bits. Been a funny Christmas without you, your Grandad and Nan Pierrepont, but looking forward to a new year, here's to 2007. Take care Son and keep the great photo's and journal's coming, love you John speak to you soon XXXX Mum
Not jealous at all Supping lager in 80C heat on Bondi Beach - don't make me laugh. What could be better than strutting round Meadowhall when its pissing down outside and a cool 6C in the shade. Who's jealous? Al tell thi who - me lad. Hope you got the lighting sorted and on New Year's Eve don't go overboard with the booze until after midnight. I've heard that the firework display on Sydney Harbour Bridge is the best in the world so you need a bit of a clear head to remember it. Mama was disappointed she missed your phone call at Christmas - try to get in touch again New Year time although you won't have a prayer on New Year's Eve. Total meltdown of the phone system last year. Anyway, take care son - yet another brilliant blog. Like the "Who thar looking at caption". Si Thi Later. Favva
