| 3rd February 2006 Andria in SF | nice timing! - From: Smells like Las Vegas Great timing to be in HK for the New Year... I haven't been since reunification (in fact I haven't been back since they moved the airport, which was a little bit earlier than that I think). Hoping to make it sometime soon! Have fun in Thailand... indulge in a massage every day - you'll be able to afford it without a problem (maybe even twice a day). Travel safely! (and thanks for the greater volume of photos) Andria |
| 2nd February 2006 Darren | - From: My first true blog Is that the Ginger bird from Groundforce? Hmmm... Nice Dimmocks! |
| 31st January 2006 Chris | Beyond The Great Divide - From: My first true blog Excellent work, Ian. The entire population of Clevedon is hooked. Straw poll: More geographical stats would be nice tho (mineral wealth and rainfall). |
| 30th January 2006 Oliver | You vant it - From: You handsome boy! Jou are wery nice, handsome boy. I am vanting to put it everywhere. |
| 30th January 2006 Alex Davies | suspicious - From: You handsome boy! Ian - are you sure the episode with the man from the kitchen didn't end with both of you clasping hands then performing a highly choreographed Bollywood dance routine involving a hundred-strong chorus? |
| 27th January 2006 Andria (Olly's friend) | ambitious - From: My first true blog very entertaining Ian... I don't know if I could actually write this much on a regular basis myself though, esp avoiding cliches in the meantime. So good for you if you can! More photos, please :) Travel safely, no more political unrest, please. Andria in SF |
| 25th January 2006 Oliver | Ends - From: My first true blog Ian, Distressed to see you are not bleeding from both ends yet. Please include pictures of fellow travellers (I don't mean Chris Hickling). |
| 25th January 2006 Hugh Davies | Comment - From: My first true blog Well done, Ian! A very promising start! I vair well remember doing a similar trip in 1964. (My father was at the time President of the Board of Trade). But of course I had legged it across 14 countries to get to Nepal rather than flying. I recall that the then King (Birendra, I believe - the present King's grandfather(?)) bore an uncanny resemblance to Peter Sellers with a beehive on his head. He was an old Wykehamist - or was it Marlborough. I then moved onto Delhi, Patna and Benares before tackling the Khyber Pass route home. (By that time my father was, I fancy, Chancellor of the Exchequer). Actually I am only writing this because nobody else has seen fit to comment and you are probably by this time whimpering with loneliness, fatigue and irritable bowel syndrome and generally reminded of the first time Head of School expected you to take a hot crumpet from behind. By the way, is the Alex/cravat incident true? I always suspected it. You miss much excitement in your absence; the Lib-Dem leadership has exploded into quite unexpected realms of interest with an abrupt withdrawal of one candidate following News of the World exposay of a rent-boy liaison. Apparently one incident involved a practice too abominable for even that great demotic organ to describe. The mind boggles! Maybe N of W is merely spinning out the story so that next week they can mount a "Spot the Perversion" competition. Of course, to people of my generation the "scandal" evokes the grisly image of Jeremy Thorpe and his grotesque brown trilby. That would have been about 1973 - at that time my father was.... |
| 25th January 2006 Angus | - From: My first true blog What was the rear rower doing? |
| 25th January 2006 Barb on Bainbridge Is., WA (USA) | - From: My first true blog Hi, Ian - Actually I was heading to read a friend's daughter's blog. She's a college student who is taking a break (hah!) to work with kids in an orphanage in Delhi (your favorite place)! Anyway, I happened upon your new blog; it's interesting and very amusing. Good work! Have a great adventure! Cheers! |
| 24th January 2006 John Mac | Gastric situation - From: Sorting stuff out Ian, I am getting increasingly concerned about your gastric situation and I need more diversions at work. What's going on over there? |
| 3rd January 2006 Alex Davies | moving - From: Sorting stuff out and I have been roped into helping Ian move house. His brother (Widmerbull) claims to be in Spain. How convenient. |
