We didn't do anything today - seriously there is no need to read this entry!

Paul - Hey look, I'm telling you don't read on. Seriously. Nothing happened of interest at all. You may as well go watch tv or read a book. Or go cook tea for your mum (that's you Mike if you're at home) or do something else productive. You still reading? You actually want to know what we did? ok...

Well we got up nice and early to go across to Hong Kong island to the Vietnamese embassy. Got our visa's no problem and went to Virgin Atlantic's office to change our flight details! Is this exciting or what!?! Wanted to change our flights to Saturday but couldn't so changed them to Sunday instead! After all that excitement we needed a drink so popped into a shop for some water. Laura decided to go crazy and get an ice tea. Holy shit! I told her to calm down and reconsider her drink choice, maybe a water would be a safer option...

Anyway we seriously needed a rest now so we sat down in a Kodak shop while a guy copied our DV tape onto DVD to send home. Mark and Katie can expect that anytime in the next month. Started to rain hard so got the Star Ferry back to Kowloon and went back to our hostel so Laura could have a nap. A nap! A frikkin' nap! What culture vultures we are today!

Washed some clothes and swapped some books before we had dinner (cheap italian place up some random stairs, but had good views over the main shopping street so we could people watch!). Tomorrow we want to take the Peak Tram to the top of Victoria peak but the weather has been rubbish so far (rubbish in the sense that it's been cloudy and raining, temperature is roughly 35 degrees - yikes!) if that doesn't happen we may go to the cinema instead!

Don't start pointing fingers! It's expensive in Hong Kong! We can't afford anything! I'm sticking Laura on the street tomorrow to sing for money. I have it on good authority she has the voice of an angel. Plus her mum did say she was the better singer of the Darby sisters.

[Older Darby sister]

I love rock and roll.
I would like to inform you that I have been speaking to a lawyer and libel action is being taken against you. This is in reference to your comment 'her mum did say she was the better singer of the Darby sisters', written on June 1st. My lawyers insist that there is no truth in this claim and that there is no evidence to support it. We would like to remind you that it was the Darby sisters TOGETHER that won first prize in the Barton Karaoke competition, (yes that's right people, first place) and this would not have been possible without the considerable talents of the elder Miss Darby. You will be hearing from my lawyer again shortly. So put another dime in the duke box, baby.

I'm struggling to cook tea for myself never mind mum! There currently holidaying in that lovely little country called Wales!! I have cut the grass I'll have you know though!!

[Karoke witness]

'i love rock n' roll' put me off rock 'n roll
as an independent witness of previously mentioned karoke competition, I would like to point out that although the 'prize' was won 'together', there was only one of the singing duo being sick everywhere shortly afterwards. Thereby it was only through drink-induced performance that she can stake a claim to be the singing equal of her younger sister.

No need for libel action!
Since I am the law I say that neither of you have a voice of an angel and thats official. You only won because there was no one better. In my opinion Melon should have won with his mate singing Some Might Say and that was boardering on the awful. Off camping today so Big Bro won't be watching over the weekend. Last England friendly tomorrow - one piece of good news Neville G is injured, one piece of bad news Sven can't stop picking Owen Hargreves.

lil bro cooking comment
Lil bro Mike is telling porkies! Nice aunty Maree cooked his dinners while his Mum was neglecting him in Wales! Mind you they were better meals th an I normally get.Take care,love to you both,Derek(and Maree). P/S We're off to the Norwegian fjiords tomorrow but it doesn't sound as exciting as a world tour!

"You only won because there was no one better" Isn't that how most people win?

[Laura and Paul]

Peter Crouch
He "wins" cuz there is no one better. Or has he actually turned good since I've been away?

RE: Peter Crouch
He can do some skillz, there's no doubt about that. Unfortunately he has no pace and someone like Italy aren't going to give him the space that Jamaica kindly allowed him
