see you soon Hi there, thank you for the blog as always it was very entertaining. Not long now until we see you and you will be back in the real world .... how difficult will that be? Still you have Dublin to look forward to with the old man so that will be good . He is really looking forward to seeing you again , he was a little lost without his mate over the past few months . Niamh and I did not seem to be able to fill the viod that you created . Naimh was in Dublin for the day yesterday , just popped over (as you do)and sent me a text from the Guinness factory.
See you soon .Mum xxxxxxxxxxxx

bugger that cheer for wales? bah, only when they play england ;) i shall find a bar for the match and you should be able to hear my screams of delight as ireland win in cardiff (yet again) all the way from bangkok
well well well soooo i have read ur blog. Sorry, far too tired to make in depth comments. sorry we got cut off the other night. not long and we can go for a drink and talk in person. looking forward to seeing...and no, i am sure no-one is lying when they say they missed you! oh one other thing...WALES WALES WALES!!!!
happy new year hello..good to see you are still well. Just signing in to let you know that i am still reading your blog. Thanks for the email, was good to hear from you (though we have spoken on msn since). Sorry can't write much now...blinkin horses need their tea!! One thing i will say (further to our coversations) is take your sisters advice and STOP PUTTING YOURSELF down..thankyou xx
Hey Fez! Hey Fez! Like the pictures of giant heads and ancient ruins. Not so sure about the land mine museum, looks a bit dodgy like one of those things is actually gonna go off! Hope your doing okay, not getting too homesick. I've returned up north until the beginning of term to try and get my work done. Look forward to seeing you when you return home. Richey
how's this for being one step ahead? Thought I would have a quick look at your blog as I am back at work and not really in the mood for productivity and I saw your new blog before you let me know that it is up there soI am pleased with myself that I am one step ahead. The lead up to Christmas (as I knew from our conversations) left you a little in the doldrums, it was strange for us too not having you around, we will ahhave to celebrate when you come home and have a thanksgiving party! Now that the new year is in I cant wait to see you and the weeks will go fast , that is probably not what you want to hear !
Glad that you are ok and I am particularly looking forward to seeing your blog that covers the welcome to the new year ...... sosunds as though it was fun?? Love you

Happy New Year So I text you new year and got nothing back! Cheers bro, only joking. Mum vaguely told me what yours consisted of...sounds interesting.
I'd just like to say, can you stop bloody putting yourself down you idiot. 'Me spoling the view' bla bla bla, you're like a bloody broken record. Shut the fuck up!
So my new year was neither here nor there, played in Cardiff Barfly with a full band (drums and bass!!!) and it was really cool. Got a free bar as well but somehow didn't get drunk, why does that always happen?! Lydia and I are going to Russia, wanna come?
Love you x
Telepathy I find your ability to read my mind from the past very scary Ferris. Although I suppose all the time I've known you our friendship has been largely based on beer, NFL and innuendos, so maybe it's not SO surprising. I think I've caught up on all your blogs now, due to my xmas vacation not having any significant internet access and me sleeping/eating/drinking most of the time. Many thanks for pointing out my celebrity lookalike-ness, however I'm still more inclined towards the guy out of the Magic Numbers thank Jack Black (and being totally honest I was really hoping for John Bonham, as he was way cooler, if a little dead). Nice to see you're still going to be joining me in hell for your insensitive commentary on various world events etc. and I commend you for having the stamina to keep me company down there - at least it'll be hot. Have a good new year ferris-san. Laters!
oi oi hey man, got your blog adress from your dad on xmas day. sounds like your having an awesome time im really jealous. glad your loving it out there. anyway man keep it cool and be safe, cant wait to see you again im sure your gonna have some awesome tales to tell. i move to plymouth on the thirteenth so if im gonna see you awesome if not well have to make sure we hook up at some point.
Take it easy bro.
happy new year Hello there, doing a litttle "work" "work" on my computer sad isn't it, but someone needs to keep the Welsh Assembly ticking over, over the holiday period eh? ??This is what life in the rat race is like Dearan stay away from it as long as you can !
Christmas was good, a little more quiet than usual. As you know we always enjoy and look forward to New Year more anyway. Ben and Den and Pat and Pat (you know the irish ones !) are coming up today well this evening actually for two days to celebrate the new year in style . I think we will take them to the Cetic Manor for a drink in the lap of luxury. Did I tell you Hils , Dee and I spent the SUNDAY before xmas there all day being pampered . It was fab !
Niamh is playing a gig in Cardiff on new years eve but she will be home at some stage in the early morning. She has been out quite a lot surprise, surprise!!! I am not sure if I mentioned that she is at Crosskeys college for the next few weeks working on reception and she is back doing that next Tuesday 2nd. She is back to Birmingham on Sunday 14th.
The weather here is awful, windy and lashing down with rain at the minute. Dad and I decided that we would like to treat each other to a week away in the Red Sea all inclusive in Janauary to make us feel and look better (hopefully) and make the winter shorter. We are off, flying from Birmingham on Thursday 11th . Your dad may be an expert like you on scuba diving on return.
Do you know I must have lost about half a stone in weight when I was sorting out things for you yesterday !! I specificially requested that you has the money in US dollars so I am unsure why you were given it in local currency I suspect they want you to spend lots of money in Laos.
it wont be long until you are back treading the hills of Wales again , I am sure the last few weeks will go very quickly. I can't wait to see you and give you a hug and I guess you will be making some decisions about whether you wish to extend your trip and travel further afield (i.e Auz you know whatever you decide we will support you but you need to do it for the right reasons and it was not on your original plan .
By the time you reach home I am hoping that you will not recognise your room . The specially woven carpet of dog hairs will have been removed and replaced by sometjing that the dogs hopefully will find less comfortable. I am intending to have wooden flooring to replace the carpet . i am keeeping that surprise for your father for when he returns from his luxurious holiday in the sun but I know he will be happy to get into the DIY mode (NOTE JIM, IF YOU ARE READING THIS). I have had the builder in also so your room will look a little different.
I am toying with the idea of introducing some mosquitos a few Charles's and a rancid smell so that it will remind you of your travels ?What do you think?
Must dash ! Love you round the world and back again and more. Mum xx. Dad sends his love.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! Well well, merry christmas bro. Had a nice day today although I'm all alone now. Mum and Dad went round to the Alfords house for the usual christmas day get together but I'm enjoying my own company at home infront of the tv. It's nice to get some alone time to be honest...I'm sure you know all about that don't ya?! Was tres nice to speak to you earlier even if it was the usual grunts I get from you, I don't think I have any news for you really...But Merry Christmas again. Missing you, love me xxx
ok im up to date now You should be pleased, as you said i have read all your blogs, well most of them, maybe not from the very start but.. It makes me feel bad reading your blogs it just makes mine seem even shitter. Wanna start writing them for me? Or maybe i can just copy and paste them to mine, after all...you're the only one who's going to be reading both blogs! :P

hello Nanana, the arm is the magic of the phot, well so i am told by my sister. You and rowan just look scary, maybe it would help if you actually SMILED!! hehe. Thailand is bloody cold. Froze my ass off for the whole 14 hour train, really thought i might get hypothermia! But we are here now and the hostel seems good. Have a great christmas! See u in Loa. luv jude xxx
keeping it brief Hi chick, not going to comment all this time for fear of sayin anything else that might shock the other readers, especially those in your family (though you seem to do a good enough job of it for yourself). In fact, the only safe thing to say is that the weather is yucky...freezing and can't see past the end of your nose!! Glad to see things are still going well for you out there and i am glad that you are feeling happier again...and there is NO need to thank me! Well gotta go now for my pre christmas chinese (???). Have a fantastic christmas and new year, hope you get the email! Speak soon, Kate (full of festive frivolity) xx
Happy Christmas Hi there, I hope you get this before Christmas and that you are enjoying the festivities whatever they may be. It was great to speak to you the other day that felt like a really good christmas present to me . We will miss you , the dogs won't have so many tit bits if you are not there or so many opportunities to lie up on the leather setee and snooze in front of an open fire all night long. I think we are going over to Hil and Dave's on Christmas evening ,I expect Hils will give us a half a glass of wine ..... you know the kind of household it is only one glass to last the whole night . Hils are you reading this?. I never quite know how I always feel wobbly when I leave there . We are having a drinks party (sounds posh doesn't it) with the Ponthir crowd and the golf crowd tomorrow night , probably about 18 people but it will be nice. Keep well and safe have a good christmas and I love you round the world and back again .xxxxx
thank you Didnt see that new photo. Why thank you :P Ach well its not too bad i guess hehe. Wow, te stuf in Nha Trang looks amazing. Maybe we should have actually ventured out of guava and rainbow bar haha. see u 2orrow.

Is this really my quiet son? Hello, there is clearly some mistake here?The people responding to these blogs and making bold references to you partaking in activities unbecoming of you is surely not an accurate description? Where had my little boy gone???. Still fantastic blogs you should think about writing a book of your travels. It is great to get your texts and to know that you are still having the time of your life . I see you are moving on and planning christmas . I wonder what you will have for lunch, goats stomach or eel? . We will be thinking of you as we tuck into a big turkey or whatever we decide to have . We will just be three, Niamh Dad and I which will be strange , we will have to celebrate christmas all over again when you come back home. Everyome here is fine, weather cold , rainey but not at all christmassy yet anyway . Niamh arrived home on Thursday and had got herself a job in Cross keys college over christmas . Mind you it takes her as long to travel and wait on busses as it does to do the job. iThe dogs are fine Zippy is becomming worse and taking keys to his bed now . He is so intelligent that he has worked out that we can't leave the house without them and you know how bored they get . Most of the xmas cards that we have received to date ae a mystery as they have torn them to shreds. We are starting on your room on Wednesday, I am working from home today and Richey has just been up and we have agreed on what needs doing. Hopefully you wont recognise it when you come home. Best go and keep the country on its toes . love Mum xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
you just can't help yourself hi hun glad to see that you are safe and well and having fun. What is it with you and women with razors?? I am starting to worry about you and your funny fetishes..what with the razor ladies and the easy riding men!! Also as if you would ever be teetotal...question...shown anyone your pride and joy yet? Suprised if not!! One more thing before i hit the sack, and it has to do with Bruce Springstein. You told me that it was the best music for naked dancing too (especially dancing in the dark). I think that this is a very different experience to travelling, so which is it to be??? Speak soon chick, good luck on the journey to Cambodia. Kate xx
me a pisshead, how dare you Nice to see you still havn't forgotten how to drink. From that shaving experience I suppose you are lucky she didn't go to your nether regions as well. All is well in Welsh Wales and people are asking how you are getting on. If they read the blog they would see you aren't exactly a shrinking violet. Gave Rich his card last week and will see him tomorrow. Good luck in Cambodia and keep the blogs and pictures coming.
Wow. Cruising round Nam Hey Fez. See your still having fun out east! Interesting shaving experience, glad it is not me. Next time i see you i expect you to look like Chewey from Star Wars. Anyhow, the Easy Riders sound cool and i am glad to see you haven't become a tee-totaller. Keep the good times rolling! Richey
