Leaving England

---

The big day had finally arrived, all the work was done. I was jobless, homeless, and carless. All that remained was to sit on a train for the next 4 days.

Me and Ashley
I wasn't even out of Carlisle and I was rubbing shoulders with the Hollywood stars. This is me with Ashley Jensen out of Extras and Ugly Betty.

The best picture of me ever
Me and Ste met this guy in the Globe pub the night before I left. Turned out he was an animator and ran off this caricature of me in about 5 mins and it's a bloody good one.

Train Journey
I hear there is god money to be made on those russian trains for a handsome young man like you. Those drivers need more than coal to keep warm - yak shumash!

Be careful
Hi Matt. Be careful on your trip. I know your mother will have told you that and I feel I should echo those sentiments on behalf of everyone. If being careful means not having a very good time, then so be it. Don't drink, don't take drugs, don't talk to anyone you don't know and, most importantly, don't leave whatever room you are in at whichever time you are in it. I have ran these 'guidelines' past your mam and she agrees. Be safe, not unsafe.

Frog Sperm
Madcap just got some top advice for you for when you travel through France ask to try some Frog Sperm - it is a delacey over there. Got that tip from Dale Whinton's website from the link you sent me? Anyway hope all is well.
