I have to write to say I am appauled at pushing children so young to gamble. although if they make that much maybe they should be put to work? Is there a tear in the eye for getting rid of coupe?

| 28th January 2006 Inpatient pater and mater | A weeks a long time travelling - From: halong not long!!!!!! Pity I missed the Kareoke, its my kind of thing. I could have emptied Vietnam of the rebels in approx 24 minutes. The Viets hideout sounds quite luxurious, with TT Tables and Cinema. I wonder what the menu choice was. Glad you managed the dodgy wooden staircase. I should warn you that the landing floorboards now creak, and late night entry sets off the smoke alarm and turns on the kettle. See you soon, but not soon enough. XXX |
| 24th January 2006 PHYSIO DAVE | - From: Wet Wet Wet Hey atleast its better than the vietnamese version of dancing queen which is playing right now - thats spooky! |
| 23rd January 2006 Matt Pickering | Very Spooky - From: Wet Wet Wet Alright Dave, good to keep reading what a great time you're having. Particulary spooky opening this blog though, as Marti Pellow and co. started singing on radio 1 just as I opened it. "Caught up in a wishing well..." come on join. |

| 18th January 2006 He with style (not fashion) | Tunnels and tanks - From: Mooses Ass! Do not bring a tank home. Not seen you in the same tank top twice, have you a wardrobe with you. Garden needs doing so we will harness your tunnel skills. You look a bit like the organist at the Odeon, coming up out of the floor. |
| 17th January 2006 anonymous | - From: hi from HCM I did exactly the same on scooter, however we were racing 2 birds up and down Bageler street at 3am ohh ye. bye the way Tim has come out and yes hes gay. His lover is Richard Thomas. |

Dinyar spent the weekend getting his hands shredded by pampas grass in our overgrown garden and hauling the choking vegetation out of the pond. We've uncovered the well, which is nearly as deep as the house is high- quite scary to look down! also had his sister and family over so fun weekend. Mum and Dad down next weekend to help us do some painting x |

| 1st January 2006 sis | happy new year bro! - From: Happy New year ! hey dave! just got back from hellgill. just 5 of us up this year which was odd but to make up for it we sent 3 people outside to bring in the new year. snow on the hills but thawed before we could get the tobogg/ toboga/... sledges out! sounds (and looks) like yours was a cracker!! missed you of course but we'll have a deferred version in summer. is it my imagination or have you been partaking in that famous Thai new year tradition of smoking tampons?! |

| 27th December 2005 Pickfords Removals | Sun and Beach - From: A year ago today Your first pic of the Beach looks more like a pic of Ben Nevis. Another fine sunset shot for your collection. Will think of you in the sun when we are in snow at Hellgill. xxx and x |
| 27th December 2005 PHYSIO DAVE | bellies - From: A year ago today Not all of us have beer bellies you know! |
| 27th December 2005 Bigbro | Breath out - From: A year ago today Don't know how you can hold your stomach in for so many pictures. You must have to breath out eventually. James is out in Thai as we speak (saw him on the news yesterday). Blogs are all great. Loving the spelling!!! Good to speak on xmas eve & thanks for all the txts.AJHJ&D.XXXXX |

Every blog seems to leave everyone just that bit more jealous. I especially love all the underwater pictures from the dives. Stuart and I will definately have to have a holiday out there some day! Anyway, hope you have an amazing Christmas and fantastic New Year! Love Toni & Stuart. |
| 17th December 2005 Simon and Laura | Merry Christmas! - From: The Surf to Sydney What more is left to do Dave? You seem to have done everything! Were sooooo jealous! Wishing you a great Christmas, looking forward to the write up! |
| 17th December 2005 Envious the second | Dont get cross dressing. - From: The Surf to Sydney Is Crescent Head your new nickname. I could think of a better one. Climate must be getting hotter as it sounds like you spend most of the day (and all of the nights) with few if any clothes on. By the way I have been looking for that bra since you left home. Yours is still on your dressing table, with your pink crotchless knickers. Your blogs are a bad influence on us innocent guys. xx |
| 10th December 2005 sis | all because a lady loves... - From: What not to do on Fraser island thanks for the warning about the sentence in your blog- however, the one in your comments box needed the real warning! python's eating possums is nature, but getting a reward for killing 6 in a month is gross. ps. have you not delivered the milk tray yet because i think you're running out of transport and terrain that you haven't tried! x |
| 9th December 2005 PHYSIO DAVE | possums - From: What not to do on Fraser island a possum is like a really big mouse?! that eats the bark off trees!- They are protected in oz and in NZ you recieve a reward through the post if you kill 6 or more in 1 month |
| 8th December 2005 Your sisters father. | Things that go bump in the loo. - From: What not to do on Fraser island Regarding the thud you heard on the way to the loo. You say it was a possum. Whats that. I can only hope for the snakes sake that its an animal. x |
| 8th December 2005 Chef | bro - From: What not to do on Fraser island hope your taking loads of pics carnt wait to see the ones you carnt put on the blogg ha ha loveand stuff ray |
| 8th December 2005 Chef | whos is the body ? - From: Cowboys and Goats hey bro what you been eating look like a bronzed madona you been working out or is it just the veg a mite sarnies sorry to hear your now chasing goats now ? being sell a bit isnt going down to well then lol love and stuff ray x |
| 8th December 2005 BigBro | Relaxin - From: What not to do on Fraser island Nice to see you are just chillin & generally having a quiet time of it!!!I bet the beaches there don't compare to Blackpool - except for the fact they are cleaner, warmer & whiter. Does this mean you will be trading in the hyundai for a land rover upon your return?? Keep up the good work. BB &all the girlies.XXXXX(BTW - all hunky dory at this end) |
| 8th December 2005 rob | wow - From: What not to do on Fraser island dave looks like your having a great time without having to follow 6-7 hour drives all over the place. Wish I was there, tell the girls in the group I think there fit!!!!!, you have to get into one of them. Keep up this wicked journel. Rob PS great pictures. |
| 5th December 2005 sis | Next leg... - From: Cowboys and Goats hi- heard you're off to singapore soon. most of it is a modern shopping mall (yak) but the tube stations are all in english (you have to buy a card from a machine first but the instructions are in english). if get chance, worth going to Chinatown and especially Little India for a quick wander to get a taste of the buzz of Bangkok and stuff to come. also easy to get a quick 'Bum Boat' ride to see the key features like Lion spouting water. Can get tea and cakes at famous Raffles hotel without being totally ripped off if book. You'll probably then head up through Kuala Lumpar (?) where China town is even better (we stayed on Petaling street near the main post office and bus station if you're in the mood for hectic). Glad you're going on a trip up thro' to Thailand as the KL/ Thai border has its political activists so best on train or with a guided group. Have you then got beach stops up the west coast of Thialand? Got to do James Bond island trip if you get chance but may have been affected by tsunami. if you get chance to go to Ko Samui island it's a bit of a jewel! REALLY jealous x |
| 1st December 2005 sis | ball bearing - From: Cowboys and Goats glad there was no lasting damage to the family jewels! not sure about the poor goat though and have already sent a carrier pigeon to warn its mates in trafalgar square (the pigeon's mates not the goat's). giles looks like he needs some anger management techniques... keep bloggin cowboy! as dad would say 'yeehaah'! x |
| 28th November 2005 Dad | Chauvenist Junior - From: Cowboys and Goats Glad to note that I am not the only chauvenist in the family. Really useful to be able to crack a whip. This, again, is usually something females are good at. Could have done with this skill when the kids were younger, would have stopped my hands getting sore. Your first words were "a relaxing experiance". Glad to see you relaxing. Please dont get hectic. Goat wrestling you say "WHAT AM I DOING". We have been saying "WHAT IS HE DOING" for several months. Dont finish by continually saying "...and the best is STILL TO COME". It makes mum nervous and me head for the Guiness Book of Records for Most Stupid Things in a Year entries. Try Dominoes, scrabble and watching Blackppol play football.....or getting on a plane home. Enjoy XX |
| 25th November 2005 sis | dave laureate - From: SMS Yongala Dave- I'm proud! All those poetry dissections were worth it for your dive descriptions. Superb! I'm going to treasure this blog!! VERY VERY jealous of your dive experiences. Enjoy your next trip x |
| 25th November 2005 BigBro | Nice Blog - From: SMS Yongala Dave, Loved the blog. Nice to see that the cut & paste button is working (all the stuff about the Yongala!). Had a chuckle at the thought of a diver using a whistle....very useful....Tim says hello by the way (BAE 10 - Fwood 8). Long story. Take care & keep typing. Love Mosshouse.X |
| 24th November 2005 Elle | Phew! - From: SMS Yongala Well that was a long one. You're becoming a bit of a James Bond action man with all these adventre activities - you're gonna need a holiday to get over it all when you get back. Great descriptions of the dive, can see those yucky eels swimming about and am very jealous of the close encounter with the sea turtle. Great to hear what a good time you're having. Oh, and thanks for the history lesson, I didn't realise these blogs could be so educational. Look after yourself. Elle x |
| 24th November 2005 N.V. us parents | Wow...that was awesome - From: SMS Yongala FANTASTIC. You really must write the next Harry Potter. Liked the comparison of the fish to a Brazilian Carnival. We went red/blue/yellow and green just reading the blog. Bloody Nora. Calm down please. We cant stand the pace. |
| 24th November 2005 PHYSIO DAVE | texts - From: Magnetic Suze - can get texts on your own mob - (when its charged!) |

| 19th November 2005 samantha | oz - From: Magnetic which hostel did you stay at on maggie island? |
| 19th November 2005 BigBro | Wot no pictures - From: Magnetic Did Rob take the camera when he went home?? Did he also take your typing finger?? Feel it my duty (again) to stand up on behalf of us Blogee's and say "get your finger out" (especially your typing one). More spare time = less blogs?? (P.S. No crappy excuses like "no internet cafe's etc etc...) Take Care.AJHJ&D.X |
| 18th November 2005 clay... | its time to get up - From: just chillin hi dave,had a crazy time on the second leg of my trip,could not go into detail here ;-) have to say it was a pleasure meetin you and rob ,its nice to meet fellow head cases.sent you a txt to your mobil ,don,t know if you got it .keep up the good work ,stay as long as you can out there ,because being home= work + bad weather regards your friend clayton |
| 17th November 2005 Camille | What a shame - From: Ants It's interesting hearing about northland from a tourist perspective. I've lived in Whangarei for a long time (now in Oz) and spent so much time camping up round kaitaia, all I can remember is good times and beautiful weather. Anyway, hope you weren't left with too bad of an impression. By the way...i jumped off the Whangarei falls from the top...im a legend! |

| 6th November 2005 sis | dessert island - From: Castaway! travelling might be about finding yourself but think you lost it in this blog!impressed with the diving qualification- always handy in blackpool. dad's in scotland and mum's here but going tomorrow. loads of fireworks this weekend and the christams adverts have started. shops are already full of tinsel and icicles! x |
| 6th November 2005 mum | news from Sues - From: Castaway! Dinyar put pictures on disc, so now have a copy to keep. Think Africa is safer, no coconuts! |
| 6th November 2005 G | - From: Castaway! Too much sun has gone to your head. Hands up who thinks Dave needs psychiatric help, that would be a resounding YES!!!!!!!! Ps how come you are clean shaven? Shouldn't you now have a beard and sandles made out of dead mans shoes! |
| 6th November 2005 Reputable nurse | - From: Lazy Sunshine I object to the comment made about nurses in this blog. I think from experience you know we are hard working people who only drink the recommended units of alcohol!!!!! All be it in one night but the recommended limit all the same |
| 4th November 2005 PHYSIO DAVE | Rochdale Reply - From: Lazy Sunshine Apologies from the management to the Rochdale lasses, please understand that no intent was instigated that they or anyone else from Rochdale should be classed as southern/southern fairies or southern muppets, please accept our and PhysioDaves (inventor of 'The Dave positioning wedge'.co)sincere regrets. |
| 3rd November 2005 Northerner | Down South - From: Lazy Sunshine Please pass the word to your "Southern friends nurses" that Rochdale, although uncomfortably close to Yorkshire, is not down South. |
| 3rd November 2005 Sniffer dog | Air Purity - From: Dive Cairns! I note that you sniff the air before diving. Is this a good idea after big meals and fizzy drinks. Try to hold on until you have your wet suite on as extra buoyancy or propulsion can be obtained by judicial release. Perhaps this was what you meant when you said your buoyancy contol was improving. Its the old hovercraft principle. |
| 26th October 2005 Old Timer | History - From: The Loner and his new roomies Like George I was there in 1066. We were winning till half time even though our captain had an arrow stuck in his eye. tried to blink it out, but it didnt work. Off to Yorkshire for walking weekend then 9 days winter climbing in the land of the Gaels. Will look for the Northern Lights while you look at the Southern ones. George may not be as insane as appears. May be living it up on the insurance proceeds. Anyway are you sure it was HIS house he burnt down. Hide the matches in the mattress. Then again... |
| 23rd October 2005 PHYSIO DAVE | sis with gang in blackpool - From: INTO THE GREEN and BLUE all sat reading your blog- mum, dad, dinyar, gemma and sis. scuba shots amazing! had a chortle at your snorkle stories and can't wait to see the shark photos!!! dad says if that photo is really you and rob at milla falls then either rob's still in drag or dad wants a date! great to speak last night, take care! |

| 20th October 2005 605 Residents | Not again!!! - From: Mexican Banditos Glad to see that you finally plucked up courage to go out dressed as you usually do on a saturday night out in Blackpool. Mum says she is glad you obviously remembered to shave under your arms and wax your legs. Not sure about the balls down your bra though. Nice to know you will be able to earn a living on your return. Taking a blow up to De Veres. (Not a doll...a photo.) |
| 20th October 2005 BigBro | Picture Postcards - From: Whitsunday sailing! Nice pictures...or did you just raid the local postcard shop? Like the bunks picture. Do you get one of those each? or did you have to share? Some more nice poses boys !!! Think you should both audition for the next re-make of zoolander |
| 20th October 2005 BigBro | Sampling the local ambience - From: Mexican Banditos To quote from the frazer island tourist information "This is the only place in the world where tall rainforest grows in sand. The scenery is stunning: white beaches, rocky headlands, huge sandblows, cliffs of coloured sand and clear freshwater lakes and inland streams; 98% of the island is protected by a National Park and listed as a World Heritage Area." Sounds beautiful - and this is what we get to see of it???!! a club 18:30 brochure...beautiful, just beautiful. |
| 19th October 2005 sis | phew! - From: Travel-pommes! just caught up with your bloggs and am exhausted reading it! jealous of everything except the caves- haven't been able to go into enclosed dark spaces since the chu chi viet-con tunnels in x- saigon- which you'll no doubt find a doddle now when you get there! we're hoping to go to blackpool this weekend and see the gang, including gem. looks like you're having an awesome time, take care it's terrifying to read! x |

| 6th October 2005 Original Superman | Rays comment - From: The Black Abyss! I note that Ray headed his comment Supperman. Obviously a late night comment. Perhaps the next comment will be about Souperman, being the first course. What will you call the main course and the pudding. |
| 6th October 2005 Grey haired parent | Cave Wetters - From: The Black Abyss! You didnt say what these were, but from the team photo there were probably about 8 of them. (Plus several more over hear after reading about the epic. We trust that you will not trust everyone you meet. We are deliberately taking the caravan away to where we cant access the blogs. Hope your not just going to repeat everything in Aussie. Would like to see you again. |
| 4th October 2005 PHYSIO DAVE | Replies to comments - From: The Black Abyss!

| 4th October 2005 BigBro | - From: The Black Abyss! Always up for a squeeze & a jump. The rest I think I could give a miss. Nice job of describing it. I think that a picture of the pitch black ride down the aerial runway into a black abyss would be interesting to see.....or perhaps not. Would have loved to hear a sound track to the whole thing tho!! |
| 3rd October 2005 ajw | BigBro - From: Grade 5 and still alive! Adrenaline Junkies or what. Is this the perfect 'LADS' holiday? What's next? Bungie jumping into a pool of sharks with a couple of pork chops strapped to your head?? Sounds fantastic. Canh almost smell the testosterone swilling around when I look at the pics. |
| 2nd October 2005 Laura | MAD - From: Grade 5 and still alive! Looks like an adventure for pure lunatics! Glad to hear you both survived it. |

| 28th September 2005 ven back | pool - From: Robs down under Standards must be low if you are winning. Will show you how its done in Feb. Showing Joan blog. |
| 28th September 2005 Elinor | Bon Voyage! - From: The Chevy adventure! Gemma! I'm so glad you're coming home. Maybe now you'll stop trying to kill yourself, be it by falling off a mountain or through a heart atttack from testing yourself so much. You made me nervous with this one. Seriously though, good on you for trying to conquer your fears. You never cease to amaze me. To Davey boy, good luck and have a great time! I know you'll love it and make the most of the experience. I look forward to the blogs with anticipation... And don't forget your special mission in Taupo. Over and out! X |
| 28th September 2005 Elinor | That's just mean! - From: The rock Well what can I say, my heart was all a flutter and then I find out it's about rock carvings - Gemma you are so mean! I am now in a deep state of despair crying into my soup on my lunch break. Boo hoo! |
| 27th September 2005 rayalun | hope this works - From: Robs down under so its lads at dawn again is dave ? sink one for me ray |

| 22nd September 2005 BigBro | Kalaidoscope - From: Ants Got to be a bottle of the old Cilit Bang.....Don't go anywhere without mine - or is it a bottle of ant powder? Nice to see another shampoo advert infront of whangarei falls. Carry on bloggin. Love from the girls & the fat bloke.XXXXX |
| 21st September 2005 Elle | Koru crazy woman! - From: Ants Nice to see you finally found a Koru worth photographing Gemma - people would not believe tha amount of times we played spot the Koru for her, only to be told it was not good enough when we did! Oooh, I'm making you sound like a hard woman to please aren't I. Anyway I can't talk with my old waterfall obsession. Glad to see you have found another to add to the collection! Anyway on with work - by the way not managed to call Skydive place about my DVD yet, hope they don't look at you strangely! |

| 19th September 2005 Brenda | - From: Windy days Reply to laura Lambs all doing well and growing fast. |
| 17th September 2005 Laura-DoLittle | dolphins - From: flipping great. What an amazing experience! The dolphins look so beautiful. We all arrived safely home, the jet lag has hit us and we just want to sleep all the time - not looking forward to Monday -back to work! How's my little lambs doing - Jack, Jill and Troy - no blowing up I hope? |
| 17th September 2005 Brenda | - From: flipping great. Looks as if you are having a brilliant time. Look forward to the blogs |
| 16th September 2005 Scaredy cat. | Jumping - From: mad jumper Going for a jump has a different meaning to what it did in our day. Jumping twice just means you are twice as mad as we thought, and thats pretty mad. Are you sure that your HOSTEL manager is not a skiving manager when you said skidiving manager. We have a queue of people at this end with a selection of pens and pretty colouring pencils. All they ask is an hours physio in return. Soon pay off your debts. I once did a years financial accounts for a hostel in return for one nights bed, and I thought that was silly. You beat me my a mile. Parental Retraining awaits in Feb. Meanwhile continue to enjoy without getting jumpy. |
| 15th September 2005 Superman Senior | Night Sky - From: GUEST BLOG: The Wild West Would much prefer they did a talk with the real sky overhead instead of the virtual sky as it will be in 2059 etc. Didnt know Simon Shearing was with you. Ask him if we get a discount on our next Shearings trip. Looking at the Ugandea Gorillas at the moment (in a brochure to clarify ambiguity). Note you stayed at a 5 star hotel. Was this because it had no roof and it was a partly cloudy night. I think your bank balances will soon be firmly pointing at youth hostels or down and under and out hostels. |
| 13th September 2005 sis | bids, jabs and jobs - From: wine and lambs hey both- great bloggin! we put an offer in on the graveyard but it was repossessed (no pun intended but hopefully not an omen!) then the offer was refused by the building society who now own the house. so put a higher offer in today but no news. went to a village event in the hall that would be at the end of our 'garden'. It was called the 'late summer produce show' and it was SO DIBLEY! There were the usual jam, flower andheaviest marrow competitions, but also categories entitled 'best animal made out of fruit and veg' which had me in tears, and a classic that reminded me of hellgill new year's flap-a-fish and ping-pong ducks (family joke viewers)...'best decorated wooden spoon'- hope to get the house even just to clean up on the village trophies, as the efforts were little more than cooking spoons, felt tip and more glue than sequins. anyway, dinyar into his second week of new job now and still falling asleep at 7pm (you've got all that to come!) and mum's been in touch to see if we had rabies jabs- we did- i think it was a series of 2. we also had japanise encephalitis jabs (series of three i think) and not just for Japan. can't remember what we had for which country so best bet is to get a pharmacist to look it up and refer you to a local doctor with a travel clinic who'll charge you on the spot but probably fit you in quickly. World Health Org website (WHO.org or similar) has latest news on requirements.One to watch is some countries need evidence of yellow fever jab so make sure you get a certificate/card signed by the doctor who gives it, if it turns out you need it.Will try and dig out more about the jabs we had next weekend if i kept it... love to both for now xxx |
| 12th September 2005 DOUG - ELINOR'S DAD | COCK-A-DOODLE-DO - From: GUEST BLOG: The Wild West DON'T WANT TO CROW, BUT ENGLAND JUST REGAINED THE 'ASHES'. NOW BRING ON THE KIWIS ANY TIME! |

| 11th September 2005 BigBro | Pictures lovely pictures - From: GUEST BLOG: The Wild West Much better. Lots of lovely piccies. Feel like I'm out there with you again. Dave's minty balls are fine - just watch out for his cheesy ones. Waterfall looks beautiful. Puts me in mind of a shampoo advert with all the girls posing in front of it..... |
| 10th September 2005 Lois | So that's what mean't! - From: GUEST BLOG: The Wild West Happy NZ Sunday morning all. Elinor's Dad knew a Kiwi at college in Halifax. He regularly called him a "Whuck whart". He's had to wait 40 years to find out what that 'old traditional Maouri greeting' really meant. We love the photo's and commentaries but it's late at night here so we'll send a more considered viewpoint tomorrow, Sunday. |
| 9th September 2005 BigBro | Pictures Please - From: The road back to Aukland I think I can speak for us all at this end when I say - MORE PICTURES PLEASE.....Just because your having a good time doesn't mean to say you can just neglect your duties to the blog site. All this rubbish about not being near a suitable place to upload them etc etc - it just doesn't wash.... |
| 5th September 2005 Toni | Parachute?! - From: Catching up Elinor winning a sporting event....what a surprise! I can't wait to see the photos of Elinor jumping out of a plane - am assuming there was a parachute?! |
| 4th September 2005 BigBro | Whatalottocraminafewdays! - From: Catching up Am curious to see a picture of the plane strapped to a man... |
| 3rd September 2005 Brenda | Mad bovine - From: Catching up Elinor, I thought was sensible, why jump out of a perfectly serviceable aircraft. |
| 3rd September 2005 PHYSIO DAVE | dear sis - From: timing Gem here, Good luck in your new job from all of us Dinyar. Graveyard house sounds.......interesting??? At least it's unique. Elinor has tried a pnkie also and thinks its horrid, no takers for the fan club as yet. |
| 1st September 2005 sis | chit chat - From: timing hi- update from worcester- dinyar starts his new job in the forest of dean on monday and can't wait; going back to visit the graveyard house this weekend to see if it's worth the gamble buying it (seeing some new places too); my car got through its service but needs quite a bit doing, time to sell? warm but thundery today x |
| 1st September 2005 Rochelle | - From: Jet lag no.2 Hi Laura & Simon So glad you had just a fantastic opportunity to get over to Kiwi land, not only to see your friends but to experience a county im dying to visit. Have great fun and see EVERYTHING! be safe and look after yourselve. Love you XxX |
| 30th August 2005 Toni | Hi Everyone - From: Jet lag no.2 Hi to all of you. Just wanted to put a quick note on to say hi to Elinor, Laura and Simon. Glad to hear you made it out safely. Have a fantastic time over there and make sure you keep the blog up to date with pictures. I really wish I could be there, but the department of health just won't cope without me! See you all when you get back. Love Toni. |
| 27th August 2005 sis | twiglet piglet - From: Lucy and here little lamb caption: ha! you thought i was balancing that twiglet but it's actually glued on... |
| 27th August 2005 sis | chill factor - From: Goodbye south island dave looks like rudolph the christmas card (is that how you spell that kind of card?) and i'm jealous if he can make something edible because i can't. fancy that snow centre. we've been viewing houses again all day today- went to a right cracker but half the house is actually IN a graveyard, (lounge view = headstones so never short of company on a misty night) a quarter on the fete lawn, a quarter on the pub beer garden and access through the village hall car park, not sure am quite ready to change name to Dibly yet! enjoy north island! |
| 25th August 2005 Lord of the Manor | Visit to the Whaling Wall - From: Low sperm count! Rusty camper sounds fun, but why not use it instead of sleeping on a hill. David with TB looks more alert than usual. You dont have to write about £$%^&* whales as mum and I are quite familiar with the word SPERM!. We hope Al had fun helping you with your thermals. Dangerous move as whales often rely on thermals. Glad you saw dolphins and impressed that you knew they were called Hector and Hector Junior. Are there only two, and how did you know it was Hector and not Mrs Hector. Did they swim upside down. A word of comfort....Your puns are not getting any worse....They couldnt. (Ha Ha, very punny). |
| 24th August 2005 Raymundo at 605 | Saga - From: Low sperm count! Pension power has enabled this message. Dont look now bit you are about to be eaten. |
| 22nd August 2005 Elinor | P..p..p.. Pick up a Penguin! - From: Driving to Wales The answer is Edinburgh of course (for the Dunedin question)! And I'd guess in my experience of bird shit that Penguins stink the worst. I know Puffin poo reeks from my trip to Northumberland when I was about ten. Yes I remember from that long ago so it must have been baaaad! |
| 22nd August 2005 BigBro | You can always rely on your mum... - From: Driving to Wales Thanks mum. Would that be classed as slander or libel? Anyway. Here goes :- Q1 - Trick question. It doesn't stand for anything. Its what people inexplicably call their house & then fix a nameplack to the front proudly announcing it. Q2 - The thick chocolate orange ones that come in gold wrappers. Q3 - Also trick question - They all smell worse.Is there a prize? |
| 21st August 2005 sis | sealed with a kiss - From: Driving to Wales mum had a go on your site! they are down for the weekend- been looking at where to live- bloomin expensive! your shots look fab, very jealous. we drove past puzzle world but didn't stop for that or the luge (had jsut over 2 weeks for north and south island!!)- wales worth seeing though. love to both xxx mum says andy knows full well about different wankas???! |
| 21st August 2005 mum | smelly - From: Driving to Wales sea lion! |
| 18th August 2005 Elinor | Blue Peter in New Zealand - From: Queenstown to te anau Well guys, by the sounds of it those afternoons in front of the TV back in the day when you were young wipper snappers really did the trick. Blue Peter would be proud - you've proved sticky backed plastic can be used in all circumstances! The Ice bar looks fantastic. Looks from the picture like you had a few cocktails, or is it just a natural high from the travels? Speak soon! |
| 16th August 2005 BigBro | Blah Blah Piffle - From: COMPLETE WANAKA Ice restaurant sounds cool....Is the food made out of ice also?? How do they keep the wine from freezing?? Guy with exercise machine sounds like he hasn't read the instructions properly. Am also intrigued who has a daughter in law.....the "A Mazing" pun sounds like a "nev"ism. |
| 16th August 2005 PHYSIO DAVE | ? - From: COMPLETE WANAKA who's daughter in law???? |
| 15th August 2005 Guess | Guess - From: COMPLETE WANAKA Guess. A Mazing footage from your adventures. Dragging your exercise machine around could be misinterpreted. As could being in Wanka.(Wankie !! is ok as its a game reserve in Africa). xxx Your ever loving daughter in law. |
| 15th August 2005 Brenda | more pics - From: COMPLETE WANAKA Where are the pics. want to see more. Will really have to go see now for myself. |
| 14th August 2005 sis | YIKES - From: franz josef!!! YIKES!!!!!!! |
| 12th August 2005 BigBro | Looks cold - From: franz josef!!! Congratulations on surviving. Would you mind going back again and taking a few more pictures this time. Its alright for you - you were there. I think I speak for all us bloggers on the other side of the world when I say - "do it again please". By the way - there isn't really a place called Wanaka us there?? Turrettes is alive and well in NZ... |
| 12th August 2005 BigBro | Are you all right?? - From: christchurch to pookaki Thats a nasty boil growing on your head (see 1st south island pic...) |
| 12th August 2005 Elinor | Today a glacier, tomorrow the world! - From: franz josef!!! Well, what can I say? I'm mightily impressed at your recent feat and can only assume that after conquering this all you have left to do now is take over the world. I'm very proud of you Gemma, especially when casting my mind back to those times at Alton Towers when we physically had to drag you on some of the rollercoasters! What's happened to you? You're turning into a thrill-seeking kick-ass chick! Look out Lara Croft there's a new girl in town. Maybe I'll be able to persuade you to join me in a tandem sky dive when I visit (Oh yes! I really want to do one if finances allow). Proud of you too Dave, but won't make a big deal of it as you're "BIG TOUGH ACTION MAN" or is that cave man (ugga, ugga). Looking foward to hearing your next adventures - whatever you do please stay alive until we get there! Don't know if you got my email but I now know what Zorbing is thanks to my Lonley Planet Guide (the wise one I am, yes). Love to you both! Elle XXX |
| 12th August 2005 Mike | - From: franz josef!!! Wow sounds like a fab day - hope you manage to get your pants clean! - Tricky - it looks like you're holding a penguin in that photo!? |
| 12th August 2005 PHYSIO DAVE | name - From: christchurch to pookaki tricki pant has stuck, and yes I know the story, Dave told me it before you lot could embarass him further! |
| 10th August 2005 BigBro | Food - From: christchurch to pookaki Why do most of your Blogs revolve around food & drink?? Even place names read like an indian menu. Always thought that Dave needed an engine under his arse to get him moving. By the way - how about "trickipants" for the camper??- Dave can explain..... |
| 10th August 2005 Brenda | - From: Its only just begun! Dont forget in all your excitement to take plenty of pics. Animals missing you |
| 7th August 2005 Laura | "bring the girls here" !!! - From: Its only just begun! Just have to point out that although Simon is a fantastic cook and good around the house he is most definately a MAN - I can vouch for it!!! |
| 4th August 2005 PHYSIO DAVE | sheep terminology - From: Mad dogs and English men in reply to 'bigbro' comment, so that you can now get some sleep, here comes the lesson: I think it is, Lamb until one year old, Hoggit from 1-2, two tooth 2-3( because they have 2 teeth), three tooth 3-4 (you guessed it they have 3 original isn't it!), then they loose their teeth and can't remember what they are called after that, anyone else?? ??Mutton |
| 4th August 2005 BigBro | Mad Englishmen & Dogs - From: Mad dogs and English men Dave - why is the quad covered in $h!t & you are completely squeaky clean?? and in beige noless??? Anyway - the real burning question is - what is a hoggit?? Will not sleep until I know. |
| 4th August 2005 Laura | fab - From: Mad dogs and English men Sounds a fantastic experience! I'm proud of you Gem; as well as saving people you are now trying to saving animals! Not long till we are on our way to NZ for our big adventure ......YIPPEEEEEEEE!!! |

| 2nd August 2005 Toni | Happy Birthday! - From: Beer fest! Hi Guys, just caught up on all of your adventures so far. Belated birthday wishes Gemma, glad to see that you've had a good time. I'm very jealous of your trip so far, but at least it's sunny and warm at home in Yorkshire!!! Take care, love Toni & Stuart |

| 25th July 2005 Bigbro | Thanks for the advice - From: fish breath Hey Dave. All this talk about kissing giraffe's and frenching sealions - I'm wondering if you are being affected by the local customs....is it true what they say about the sheep over there (ie they are scared???) |
| 24th July 2005 PHYSIO DAVE | pigs and wetsuits - From: escape goat like the names for the pigs but do you know what - theres more chance of them flying off into the sunset with the sundance kid than that wet suit making a comeback! |
| 24th July 2005 Bigbro | Disappointedinyou - From: dodgy men and my mother Hey Dave - now that the pruning is over - sounds like a window of opportunity here to earn a few bob.....Maybe you could dig out that wet suit you used to have..... |
| 24th July 2005 bigbro | ifitsastupidnameitsdad - From: escape goat Recon that you deliberately let the goat escape so that you could get a catchy title for your blog. How about Orson & Wells for the pigs?? |
| 23rd July 2005 Spec Tator | Strippers - From: escape goat You obviously didnt go to Dinyars stag night. |
| 23rd July 2005 Sis -- Knot Reely | Bacon - From: escape goat How about Sarnie 1 and Sarnie 2. |

| 21st July 2005 PHYSIO DAVE | cheap cider - From: dodgy men and my mother Yes trust me these were worse and the women were even more hysterical. |
| 20th July 2005 Laura | STRIPPERS! - From: dodgy men and my mother I didn't think you could get strippers worse than the ones we used to see at McMillians on a wednesday night in York (back in the days)!!! |
| 19th July 2005 nobodyreadsthisanyway | questions questions - From: Through the white mountains Just fascinated to know how many zoo's you have been too...and what is top of your 150 pointless things to do? - writing a list of your top 150 pointless things to do perhaps?? - well strike that one off aswell. By the way - interesting way of stirring a cup of coffee (insert spoon up nose, submerge nose in coffee, rotate, repeat.....Bro. |
| 19th July 2005 sis | chicken & prawn curry favour - From: Through the white mountains my client accepts you have shown the ingredients of an apology and,on this occasion, is prepared to turn a blind eye (the one you hit with the ball). x |
| 18th July 2005 sis | cluckch control - From: What Dave didn't want to get out! i hereby declare that the relatives of the Prawns that 'bought it' at the driving range referred to in previous bloggs, hath duly recommended to the aforementioned chickens that doth cross the aforesaid roads of New Zealand, that i be elected as their spokesperson henceforth. Please don't aim for the chickens (you can tell i've been working on a legal contract all day!). |
| 18th July 2005 sis | van-dal - From: Goats, fish, kiwi! submitted a comment about the camper van but now i've subscribed it's giving me error messages- guess the world won't get to see my interesting words x |
| 15th July 2005 ajw | Camper Van - From: Goats, fish, kiwi! See if you can hire the exact same camper van that Sue & Dinyar had. Find the hole that Sue dropped the keys in & see if Dave can fish them out. You could re-enact the whole incident........Interesting stingray fetish by the way. Was it worth it?? Big, Fat, Older brother & Clan. |
| 14th July 2005 himself | Knight Out and No Name - From: Goats, fish, kiwi! Check that the Ladies Night is not actually a Laddies Night, and you forgot to name the second sheep in the photo, but like your new nickname "Pixie". |
| 13th July 2005 PHYSIO DAVE | Chicken run!! - From: What Dave didn't want to get out! Gem: Why did the Chicken cross the road? Nev: I don't know why did the chicken cross the road? Gem: To give New Zealand Drivers something to aim for!!!!! Sorry bad joke but anyone who has visited NZ will understand, more jokes next installment. |
| 13th July 2005 PHYSIO DAVE | Shake my tail feathers? - From: What Dave didn't want to get out! Yes I did do the chicken chicken routine but where was John Trovolta???? To those who have no idea what we are talking about, there will not be a demonstration when I return. |
| 11th July 2005 Birthday Boy and girlfriend | Lord of the Attic etc - From: What Dave didn't want to get out! Just red orl yor bloggies from dai 1 two dayt. Lernt a lotaboutspelin. thanks for birthday greetings. its 41 unfortunately. Bin to Hell and back. probably did as much pruning in three days as... Will save you some. Andy coming 4 a beer. Have cake with fork handles. Like the way you put thermals in N Z top 10 when you had only seen three things. But bet they are still there at the end. Like the car. White is a reliable colour. Will get you the video of "Upstairs", "Downstairs" now that you have experiance waiting on. Draining all the empties into a pint pot was always one of the perks of such jobs. My car wouldnt start after 4 weeks holiday, so charged battery. Only later realised I had forget about the immobiliser. Hired a car on holiday with Air Conditioning. 35 Degrees and it was crap (i.e. awful). Complained when took it back, but apparently i forgot to open air vents. It then workrd brill. Why is teknology so teknicul. Note you played badders and only two entries. Still, winning must bring back memories. Love to both, in fact to all. Keep having fun. Probably too late to say "Dont count your chickens". Do they really cross the road, and, if so, why? Expect an answer. Parent 1 and 2. |
| 11th July 2005 Elinor | Yeah Baby! - From: What Dave didn't want to get out! Well Dave, what can I say! Austin Powers must be quaking in his boots - your Mojo is well and truly in force with the new look. It was lovely to hear from you on Friday night Gemma. Didn't mind the hour of calling at all! It's always nice to know your friends are thinking of you (look I'm going all mushy). And it just shows how sad I am that I was home on a Friday night! I'm hoping you did the old chicken, chicken routine at the 70's night Gemma, otherwise I will be very disappointed. You need to show these New Zealanders how the British girls can shake their tail feather! Anyway, this is turning from a comment into a full scale letter so I'll b***er off now. Yeah Baby, Yeah! Elinor X |
| 11th July 2005 PHYSIO DAVE | Dear Sue/sis - From: The end of an era Sounds fab, but have just subscribed to 'man on the prune' and 'see you prune', Damn! What a waste of a $1000 subscription. |
| 10th July 2005 sis | magazine cuttings - From: The end of an era loved these pruning shots so much i sent them off to a magazing called 'pruning weekly' and would you believe it, they've written back to say they want both to be cover shots of two sister publications...

| 4th July 2005 ajw | pruning - From: No Wombles? Hey dave - I don't know much about pruning - but looking at what's in the background - don't you think you've gone a touch too far with them?? They look like minature telegraph poles (which is curious because the guy next to you looks suspiciously like someone I used to work for in BT......)...Bro.X. |
| 2nd July 2005 ajw | Hire Car - From: wellington boots and Wellington!! Looks like you got lucky with the hire car. Check out the one in the background!!! Was that the alternative?? Pruning sounds incredibly dull & painful. I hope the money is good...but I doubt it. Thanks for the restaurant recommendation. Next time I am in Wellington I will be sure to go... Bro. |
