Mentored in the ways of handbag management by one Mrs. Jillian Bath (former teacher and practising panic merchant) my adventures in Eastern Europe scaled new heights of administrative chaos. Treking from Croatia, through to Budapest and onto Prague I managed to lose a bus ticket, two plane tickets, my sunglasses and the keys to my luggage. Good thing i didn´t book any accomodation or I would have lost that as well. Items Currently Believed to be in Bo´s Bag 1 X Australian Passport, slightly watermarked due to late night swimming expedition in Rio. 1 X Hungarian visa procured on day [View Full Entry]

K kids. I was just looking back at when I last wrote and I honestly can't remember what I've done since then. I remember that our last venue was Oxford...but in regards to work thats about all I remember.... I think I've lost a week or so. When I find it I'll let you all know. So anyway, after much deliberation (aka whinging and bitching) I decided to take off the first venue this week. Which means Ill get a hotel room in Reading instead of having to commute and hopefully I can finish the tour happily ever after. But I [View Full Entry]

Geez, it feels like ages since I last wrote. I can't even remember where I have been, so I'm looking at a tour schedule to tell you all what I've been doing... From memory, I stayed in Bristol for quite a few nights - the company put me up in the hotel even though it was 'time off' cos I was shingley and ill. Then, one way or another (I think I caught a train, I don't remember) I headed off to GRIMSBY The name says it all. When I asked the taxi driver what there was to do in Grimsby [View Full Entry]

Despite what Kimbo might say, shingles are so not last year. They are all the rage in Europe in Summer 06. Furthermore she is not a trend setter, as everyone knows that trends begin in Europe then reach Australia about 6 months later. In case there is someone out there that I haven't bitched to about this already, I have shingles. So the doctors finally decided that I have shingles and I am less than impressed. Though the company, bless them, have put me up at the hotel instead of making me go to a backpackers. And I would like to [View Full Entry]

G'day, Went to my very first highland games last wednesday and it was 'well good'. Me and laura hitched a ride over to grounds with a lovely family in a mini-van and spent a good few hours kilt spotting, eating ice-cream & making tossing jokes. Fav competitors were two hefty americans, complete with usa bike shorts and headbands who blew the local talent out of the water. Well done to the local postie though, he put in a good effort, specially in the hammer throw. Sailor dancing was easily the highlight of the day. If anyone can explain the origins of [View Full Entry]

Goddamn. I have a sore ear. It hurts. The doctors dont know whats wrong with me. I have come up with the ideal solution... vodka and lemonade. (people drink lemonade when they are sick, right?) I personally think its the best discovery since penicillin..... (Yes mum, I am looking after myself. Seriously.) Fimble (ekk) tour update for those of you who care... NORWICH Mmm. Norwich is a lovely place. But my quote 'They are all a bit special in Norfolk' I think explains it all. What can I say about the place? I got a horrible horrible haircut here.

Introducing ......................... Bo's Guide to Better Living (in the Highlands) 1. 'Check-in', when spoken with a Scottish accent, sounds remarkably like 'Chicken'. Double check with a customer before dumping half a kilo of poultry on their table. 2. Do not stage sixties revival nights. Ever. 3. The Bus to Fort William leaves at 9.20am. It does not leave at 9.26 am. It has never left at 9.26am and calling the bus driver a pox-ridden piece of shit will not make the bus come at 9.26am. 4. Avoid gondalas, funiculars and cable cars. 5. No telephone reception? Try standing on [View Full Entry]
