mmmm Alphabet soup.... great on a cold London night! Though I think some letters might have been missing then!
great blog :D can see why you pick reading Dickens now :) And your photos are fantastic.
See you after Rome next week- we'll have to compare notes!
J is for... Just read your blog...oh wait thats not really in the spirit of all things europe...but just to show off, i turned on my ceiling fan, wet myself all over and removed my doonah just so i could feel fkn cold like i bet ur feeling now:)good laughs mate as per usual, love the photo at belgium station, tom looks a hell of a lot more at home there than he does at davies rd!and i also wouldn't mind sharing a shortbread or shortcake or whatever with king dulal...sounds like a mighty jolly fellow:)stay cool mate
B is for... Birthday present! Of the 'best ever' variety. Or, perhaps a little more relevant, of the 'one and only' category for this year - I think your one package which made its journey all the way from 'far south-west' deserved a mention? Disappointing! Enjoyable reading though, nice work xx
B is for Football in Zanzibar Ollie! What on earth happened to your figure & thighs? My Forearms are bigger than that (albeit not all muscle). You need to get back to your Eet-som-more (shortcake biscuits) diet & use me as an example of the 'in look' (45% muscle 55% fat). Also mate you lost your chance, the fabulous Julie has moved in with Shane - you left it too late. Oh & its expected to hit sub zero here soon, so dont expect a warm dismbarkment off the Jet (attempt at a punt). And I cant believe you used the 'it snow joke' line, you might as well have put a 'knock, knock' or chicken crossing the road joke in there'. Oh, Oh and another thing 'frog legs: like Chicken but with more of a bounce' - They're getting worse day in day out ol' boy. Finally, K is for Kold in London (as well as King Dulal).
:-D I've got 3 letters: OMG !!! Fitzroy Tavern ?? I am pretty sure this is the place I went to in 2006 when we were on a "night and gosthly tour" and the guy brought us to that pub ... AND I had the most amazing beer in my entire life: Alpine Lager !! It's like drinking honey, ... 2 years later I still hope to find some wherever I go but I think I will have to go back to London! It will definitely be worth it!
I am so happy to see it wasn't all a dream and that I'm not the only one to love Alpine Lager!
H is for Heart shaped snowflake!! the very first thing I noticed on the photo...sorry Oliver! but..look closely....there are TWO!! anyone else spot it?...
A little clearing of the throat here...what about the luxury accommodation that could be found in st. 'A' ??!!!!!! Hope you don't let me down....XX
Comedy Gold I have to say I loved this entry!
P is for Papa Antonio who took us off the cold and dangerous streets of Naples and gave us a nice comforting mug of love and generosity, along with the best accomadation available for a reasonable price. The man who gave us refuge and protection from the angry Napolese mobsters who we accidentally insulted by cutting in front of them in the line for pizza. Thoughtfully hooked us up with some babalicious Italian girls and gave us unlimited free soft drinks! We all miss you Papa.
F could be for Favourite brother James but I know it would be a little unfair for you to say it publicly especially when Tom and Eddie could read it (but you tell me enough anyway so I'll that one slip)
Also, Gary's comment about the mini golf absolutely cracked me up to the max! Hahaha, it was quite strange though that all the other people playing that day were dwarves...
Fabulous ! Love to read your blog so much !! Great ideas the 26 entries. I'm glad you enjoyed your time with us ! Thank you, it was a pleasure as my dad would probably say.
Can't believe you are still living in hostels...I get sick of it after 3 weeks...Guess what ? Shane and I bought a house !! In Craigie !! Wonderful weather in Perth ! When would you be back ?
Safe travel.
Mini - golf? So is it called 'mini - golf' because it's typically played by dwarfs like that couple standing beside Tom?
Still loving the blogging. Don't stop.
golly golly ollie O - good entry, have to say that what impressed me the most was the use of that funny looking worm like thing on top of "Buñyol" - seems that you have indeed learnt a lot whilst in Europe - not sure why you bothered with Uni!!
B is for.... Good blog, I hope Francoise somehow finds this.
A few suggestions though:
B should be for Biscuit capital of the world. Because Nice and Monte Carlo are two of Arnott's finest products and our next pport of call.
S should be for stubborn cause that was definately the word you were looking for the other day.
X should be for eXtra hot like the shows in Amsterdam, but maybe you didn't want to talk about them with everyone. Whoops!
