The man, the legend Yes, finally somebody spotted that i'm funny! And not just in the head! Yesssss! Anywho. I can't believe you've never seen a rat! All those years in the 'port and not one?!? Although I suppose you probably would've been very drunk at the time of night they're usually about - there are many round here. One thinks it's funny to dig through their little tunnel system into my back garden prompting numerous unfortunate "cave-ins" for the little buggers when i find the holes - this will eventually be sorted via one of the following options a) poison b) a shovel c) an elaborate plan involving polonium-210 and a piece of cheese (if you don't appreciate this topical news-based reference, i forgive you due to your current absence). Text A B or C to 84410. Votes cost £20 and all proceeds go to the ferris/balboa/tucker piss-up fund. I am glad you have found some good-looking girls to hang around with ferris, that cigarette salesgirl is a real looker - how much did she set you back? I mean, hell, that one would make me a mint as a chimney sweep. 2000 dong? Hehe. Dong. Right, back to decorating. Houses are so much fun. Laters pericles!

Austin What, the one on the rage against the machine album? I liiiiike. I am writing this whilst chatting to you on MSN which kind of defeats the point I guess, but nonetheless one wishes to keep the posts going! Shame you won't be here for tucker's bday - would've been nice to have you there so we could play a round robin competition with you me and rich insulting satan's very little helper. I will keep you posted if I can come up with something that works better than our previous comments to her. On that note, I am off to go see Tool, which will mean I am a gibbering wreck tomorrow. Laters fezmondo!

I am not sure if your blog is finished, or if it's just me but i can't see any of the pics for this entry. shame, i wanted to laugh at th big pink willie too!!If i can't beat the kids join them thats what i say!! So how are you settling on this new diet? Have you had to test the vietnamese sanitation yet, or is rice having the opposite effect? lol. This trip might be weaning you off guiness, but when you get back we might have to wean you off fish. mmm, fish breath...nice!! Make sure you have a radox bath soon lovely. What with hiking pushing those leg muscles and working those arms in the boat you will be is shock! btw, cant believe you tried to get a woman to doall the work for you, even is she was german...wel actually...!! Got to dash lovely. Stay safe and well, kate xx
Nicknames Man, haven't heard Balboa in ages - not even richey calls me it that much any more! I am having another day off work today due to my boss giving me some maths crap to do before he went AWOL and me taking a good hour or two over it before deciding "Hmmmm, maybe I should've done Maths A-Level after all......" as I have no clue whatsoever. Nice to see my friendly advice on the dangers of organic chemistry and the aldehydes have served you well - for future reference, certain chemicals in that group smell very strongly of pear drops, so one would be wise to dodge any beer that smells faintly of that. The weather here is glorious; force 5000 gales and pissing rain etc. Thankfully, today is thanksgiving which means 3 whole NFL games to watch this avo. Am disappointed at you getting on a bike with a stanger though ferris, especially one you thought to be bent as a butcher's hook and a native to boot - didn't your parents teach you anything?!? Vietnam sounds pretty awesome though, fair play - that's mainly due to the beer being cheap and prettier women however, but I digress. Good work on teaching the foreigners REAL english (GLC stylee), and I hope you enjoy the city! Laters clart! P.S. Dong - hahahahahahahaha.
yes it is the second coming I must be feeling generous tonight. Glad to hear you arrived safely after your visa troubles. It backs my view that behind every worry there lies bush...george w of course!! And don't blame GLC for your language, though they are responsible for so much. Since when did you need glc to colour your language? And i am suprised at you ferris. I mean I knew that you were open minded but since when were you even keen to sit behind a man like that? lol. Well i suppose that you were always thinking of the needs of others!! The balls it takes to travel alone like that are wasted on men, remember that!! Well keep me posted and stay safe!! kate xx
better late than never Alright chicken?? Glad you are still having fun. sorry these replies are late but been off line...i am now typing to you from the swanky new lap top. yey, bum on sofa not on hard chair. Now only one of us has the chance of getting piles. Bet you were chuffed about your grouppies!! I promise to monitor the internet to check that you pick does not pop up on some dodgy site, though I am not too sure where to start looking. It maybe a job for a male mate of yours (not that i am suggesting anything or being sexist!) safe trip, though i know you are there by now as i am about to read your next entry. Never now i might reply twice in one night
hey m8 hey m8 hope ur alright looks like ur havin a wicked time ur pics r ace wish i was out there wiv u everyones missin you and askin bout u in work im a lot betta now just missin 1 of my m8s hope to c u well and safe soon will leave another message soon m8 now carry on havin fun and take care xxx
There is no escaping the Bush! Looks pretty groovy over there. Must be slightly worrying that Bush is in the country, (horrid little redneck.) Nice footie shirt though. I see your enjoying your new found height advantage over the general population, don't get too used to it, if you ever find your way back to the UK you will be looking up to us all again. Halong Bay looks pretty nice, love the Vietnamese flag more though, that is one cool flag! Glad to see that you're not letting the locals rip you off. Keep up the good work dude!
Still envious Hi Dearan
Thoroughly enjoying your blog although Dave keeps muttering jammy bastard under his breath every five minutes while reading it. The photos look amazing and it seems you've inherited some of your father's talent for a good photie. I agree with you though, the lens flair looks good and he'll soon get over it.
Life is as usual her in Ponthir/Royston Vasey so there's nothing exciting to tell. We're about to go off to the pub to meet your Dad and hopefully your Mum but as she's got the decorating bug again and is running around the house like a whirling dervish with a paintbrush in her hand, she might not make it. Be warned! Your room is next for the Annie Llewellyn Bowen makeover. Hope you hid anything incriminating before you went away!!!!
Well must go, Dave has the call of the lager siren whispering in his ear. Take care - you're looking good in the photos. Nice to see you have'nt gone totally native yet and are still retaining some of the Ponthir panache about you (not too sure about the footie shirt though).
Love Hil and Dave

Don't be a pussy Why are you so afraid of dogs you mince? Hell, rabies is only 100% fatal. (NB. One person in the history of the world survived it, but she's still a bit of a mong). Just in case you decide to take on the frothing pooches of east asia, you have roughly 24 hours to get a shot - you've been warned. Never let it be said I'm not helpful and informative :) Tres glad you are having fun Pericles. Hope your re-routing to Cambodia/Laos due to GW's visit went well. One will assume you are feeling slightly better than me today, as I am very much hungover post-beer race (I am officially the hottest thing in a dress EVER), and filling in safety forms after having a bottle of boiling acid (the kind that dissolves gold)blow up in my hand yesterday and having to evacuate the labs ("Hi five!"). Thank christ for safety goggles I say. I will keep you posted on beer race picture status, as I know you'll be DYING to see me in a dress, although given Thailand's reputation you're probably used to that kinda stuff. Enjoy the awesome culture and local moonshine of wherever you're at now you lucky lucky man - speak soon fezmondo!

Expert timing as usual though!!! Nice to see you are experiencing a little more night life and alchohol. I wondered when you were going to stop tryin to pretend to be all cultured and get on the booze! (joking hun honest!!!). Well, carry on like you are now, and I i'll expect a full and detailed comparison of the sewerage and plumbing systems of the East by email on your return! Looking forward to our next installment! Look after yourself, Kate x

hi there obviously having a crap time (literally). sounds like you've been, done and seen it all already. you also seemed to have hooked up with some real characters as well. anyway, take care of yourself and don't do anything you wouldn't want your mother to know about, if you get my drift. luv, denise and ben x
You jammy bastard Hi honey - have only just managed to log on to your travel blog as we have been away and now feel immensely jealous and sick as parrots. Sounds as if you are having an amazing time. Have found your journal hilarious - keep up the good work! Nice to know you are soaking up a bit of culture (local brew, dodgy bars and people of dubious gender) but glad to hear you are survivng it all with a sense of humour! Will talk to you again soon when we have got over our jealousy. Take care, love Hil and Dave xxx
Hey you, glad ur having a great time and meeting new peeps along the way. pics look brill. mega jealous at the beaches they look wkd.
keep in touch, ke x
Hey Dude I see that you are maintaining the reputation of the Irish as heavy drinkers! Although the happy snappy tourist has taken some pretty sweet pictures. The sea is so much clearer over there than it is down here in Swansea Bay, unsuprisingly. Hope it is worth all those months slaving away in that repetitive factory job. Remember to watch out for that monkey, it sure does look evil.
Jealous Yo bro, Mum's been pestering me to message you on here so here I am. I thought all those pictures in the brochures and stuff were fake...obviously not! Jealous jealous jealous. Auntie Marian is right, a group of 10 of us are off to Dublin 11th-13th for a big piss up!
Been gigging like a mo fo this past week, playing with Matt Davies' new band (front man from Funeral For A Friend) and it's been awesome. We sold out of EP's half way through the night and we even had to sign autographs! How funny! Anyway, that's all the news I have.
Glad you're having an amazing time.
Love you x
