Katie in Fashion I want a job like Katies if you sit at a desk with a glass of wine on a Friday afternoon - were lucky if we have time to grab a coffee some times. Anyway Katie - I am just being down right nosey but what is your new job 'in fashion'. Is this a new job?? Might as well talk to you anyway cos I never get a reply from the intrepid travellers - so i think we should just use the web site to chat amongst ourselves - hope you and mark are ok. Angela xx
Call that a shark? It's a FISH! Are you sure that's an ice cream sandwich? looks like a rather large spam sandwich to me, surely much more up your street Paul, being northern and everything (although, worryingly, Mark's mum used to make him fried spam and chips for his tea. It WAS the 80s, but still). It's friday afternoon and i'm sat with a glass of wine at my desk - apparently this is what being in fashion is all about. Off to a London Fashion Week show next week though! Beat that you globe wondering hippies!
mwah mwah darlings
Mucky but lucky experience Thanx for the postcard, much appreciated! Paul, a bird pooing on you is apparently lucky (doesn't feel it at the time tho). Your blog still brightens up my day, but makes my life feel very boring. One recent highlight was when Chris dressed up as a Tweenie for a friend's little girl's 4th birthday. He was brill, walking down the street in his yellow dungerees and blue head! He is now available for parties and appearances for a fee. Take care x
Broughton B& B Hi to you both, hope you r well and have found somewhere nice to stay.
Trust you have received your requests from the e mail. We have been very busy over the last few days entertaining Italians - more colourful than the Welsh - and we have been invited back to Sardinia - so cant be bad. Mike I am sure will explain how this came about some time. Lots of love Mum xxx
hi both sorry i have not been in when you called nice to see some of your hols at last today at clives daughters and hey i am doing this myself even if there is no grammar take care love you very much xx
Well thats what mike and your dad did - they have been supporting the old team - they certainly do need all the help they can get. What do u mean you thought you would have a lazy time for a while - all your time is relaxing and doing what you like at the moment. Just think Laura a year ago on Monday you were off to Western for your first day - I bet you wont miss that while your travelling. Vodka isnt the best alcohol to get blotto on - I know ive been there before.
Hiya Just thought I'd post something to say hello. Good to here your still have loads of fun. If my sister is in fashion I'd hate to see what next seasons lines are going to be. I have heard though that the Real Madrid look is sooo last season. Also its good to see that the catch phrase safety first is becoming global Paul. Have you put a trade mark on it yet?
Manchester Im back at uni in Manchester, its raining....constantly, Its my induction week which is as interesting as watching paint dry, I had to interview and actor pretending to be depressed, every question i asked led to an even more depressing answer; his imaginary abusive brother through all his abusive family members to his low self esteem and alcohol problems. My student house is under renovation has no shower and i can't use the bath because the hot water tap leaks through the roof into the kitchen, yesterday a pipe burst above my room and now i have a hole in my ceiling and a room that smells damp, I also fell at the climbing centre with my legs astride onto a rope from 15 feet and gave myself rope burn where a rope has no place to burn. Wish you were here haha
Waxing lyrical Obviously purely from reading my greatest novel 'Great Expectations' you have picked up on my fine literary style. However I suspect you may have taken things to Thomas Hardy depths going into the minutest detail of your day, I quote: 'Read for a bit before going to the toilet as the bus still hadn't moved yet and as soon as I got back we were off.' Poetic genius.
Surely upon your return a career with The Daily Sport, or perhaps a Dan Brown-esque novel beckons my boy!
CHAMP 10th: Hatters - 55 places further down - L2 18th: Mariners, where did it all go wrong Paul?
Hi to you both, we are back after a super holiday - what have i missed about Katie - why is she in fashion? I will sort out your photos tomorrow - give me a chance i have only just landed. I would have been petrified in the jungle for a night Laura I think you are very brave - i too hate anything creepy crawly and those leeches on your feet paul would have been just too much. I dont know about Mike cutting the grass - i thought we had been raided when I got home and some drunken lout had swayed over the lawn with a lawn mower depositing swathes of cut grass here and there?? Hes only been home a week and the house is like a student pad. Take care both of you - didnt like those pictures of you rock climbing - when are you flying on???
Thanks for the postcard Paul and Laura!! I have only been back in England for two days and im already expected to cut the grass!! Its operation clean up tonight before the general and his accomplish return from yet another holiday!!! Im going back to Leeds tommorrow and going to the last day of the festival on sunday - just trying to keep out the way really!! Well it sounds like your having an amazing time still - your not missing anything here - especially from Grimsby Town - dear me!!!! I was away for seven weeks and the most exciting change was that radcliffe road has been re-layed!!! Shocking stuff!! Well I must go cut the grass!! Take care xx
Neal Larkman I heard that Keira might be in GY, maybe she'll take a trip to the cinema. Anyway get on with your degree you lazy git (keep reading the blog as well too) and be jealous of my holiday and I'll be home before you know it and me, you and Pissy Wee can go out together again. To quote a famous man "Body off baywatch, face off crimewatch"
Leave Keira alone Derision of keira knightley in comments on this blog is definitely frowned upon by the moderators. By the way the film she is next in Atonement was being filmed at the Gy docks, i shit u not, she wasn't there but that james mcavoy out of shameless was....Oh god i need to get out more...went to the cinema with Pissy in Cleethorpes (What a shithole have they let someone just die on the carpets and why does it smell of airplane toilets!!) Got to watch Miami Vice to the accompaniment of little scally shits talkin bollocks...I no what u mean sabout the islands all nice but rammed full of tourists and roti canai what a meal, I stayed on coral beach opposite end to the jungle path anyway have loadsa fun take care
The latest guessing game! Hey guys. I'm sorry I have only just checked out your adventures! I hope Laura's legs have healed by now! And Pauly, I think your scratched limb should be entered into a guess the body part comp as I think it could be a very hairy thumb! I hope you're having an amazing time, it sounds like you are anyway! Bye for now xx
In Fashion Laura - I've been in touch with the people at Vogue and they're hoping that they might be able to put you in your boots on the cover for the November edition. I hope that's ok. You'll piss off Keira who was hoping to pout her way onto the cover wearing nothing but a shower cap, but never mind, she's crap anyway.
mwah, darling x
Hi to you both Don't know what happened to the blog I sent so you might get two. Sorry I was out when you rang today Sunday Paul. Your mum and dad are on holiday. From the text she has sent they had a lovely time and weather in Venice, now at Lake Garda and sounds beautiful and hopefully going to the opera today if the weather holds. They are home Saturday 26th Aug. late. Not heard from Michael but hopefully arriving home tomorrow, its just me and him then holding the fort - that will be fun. Uncle Derek has gone golfing in Scotland for the week, whoops just remined me I have not fed the birds. Spent a lovely day back here with Lisa last week - great to hear her giggling away and chatting to Uncle Derek in the Garage. Not sure I would have liked the jungle track but glad you are all back safely. I know the pain you were going through with your toe Laura, Ive just stubbed mine on a step and I could have cried, the pain was agonising and I had an ice pack at the ready. Lots of love to you both and look after each other and enjoy. xxx
Alrite Back home in GY, Envious about railay easily my favourite place in thailand. Hope you enjoy the rest of your travelling, Koh Phangam the days before the full moon party is brilliant too i know u will be thinkin yeah whateva dickhead but if u get a chance..neway take care keep us informed and saha and andy lee are still ugly smelly ppl
Thailand looks fantastic, great piccies. Love the hair Paul, so versitile, so many different ways you can style it! I see you're going for the natural look at the moment. BB final tomorrow, hooray, but then comes X factor! The rock climbing looked a bit hairy, how do those snakes get up there?! Take care x
with your hair you are really spoiling us Paul - i think I probably said that I wouldn't mention your hair again, but i just wanted to say that i REALLY like it, it suits you! and, it's apt cos you look like a surfer-beach-bum kind of dude. a little bit like a blonde George Harrison too. not sure how much he was into surfing though. Or bumming. point is, it looks great!
P.S i know you're not trying to make a statement of any kind, and you hate people to think that you even consider what your appearance might be like, but i just wanted to say that
Laura- you look gorgeous. that goes without saying, look at you looking all golden whilst i suffer the 'pale and interesting' fate of being a Darby.
Snot fair!
Me and chad were just reading your blog and we want more pictures of Paul!! He looks quite sexually attractive with his new beach babe look!! We have two weeks left in tropical Cardiff and then back to good old Grimsby!! Try not to miss us too much!! Grimsby lost 3-0 to wrexham last night!! They won their first game 3-2 with a shockingly amazing last 20 minute comeback!! I think there going to get relegated to be honest!!!
hi guys hello there you guys, ive just had a quick scan thru the last month on your blog, the last page of relaxing on the beach looks especially nice, o and i love the massive buddahs in ur pics, i want one!! sounds like ur having fun, (except for paul being poorly sick) Anyway just thought id say hi, cant think of anything witty to say soz, take care xxxx
Have finally watched all of the video that Katie sent to us - it is very good except I cant hear what you are saying in parts and it sounds like gunfire going off - but it will be super to keep and remind you of your travels - the pandas are wonderful- so cute - I bet they could have climbed those walls and eaten you if they werent so partial to bamboo.
The Great Wall looks very interesting, not at all what I had imagined it to be like. Anyway keep up the blog - love and kisses xxx
What a life you lot are leading out there - you make me tired just reading the blog - the beach setting sounds fantastic. We have had a lovely day celebrating auntie maree's birthday and my offspring came up trumps - two managed to phone on the day and one sent an email and e card - i am so proud of them. Please all of you take care in the sun - drink plenty of liquid - i think that means water and put on suncream.
Food smells... tourists smell.. Why is your Japanese waiter wearing a mask - and another guy in the photo - does that stop the temptation of spitting into the food of these bloody annoying tourists or was the stench from the food/tourists that bad??? just asking.
Woke up to another glorious day in sunny England, a tad cooler, but hey whose complaining - at least we dont have to take a shower every five minutes cos of the humidity - well actually it nearly was that bad. By the way Katie I wondered who you were talking about - Malcolm - I thought perhaps there was another fella I didnt know about in this tangled circle.
