In Stockholm - no polar bears - is raining however.

*** Ummm, Bailey’s***
Dear All,
In preparation for the fantastic Coromandel weekend fast approaching I would like to invite you in the making, partaking and tasting of a home made Bailey’s this weekend. It has to sit for at least a week before consuming (so it won’t be stored at Halston Road)
I have found a great recipe and would like to jig it slightly to add a caramel and chocolate flavour to half the batch, keeping the other half as traditional Bailey’s.
Does the bottle collection at Halston include any whiskey?
All in favour say ‘umm creamy’

Been back for a grand total of 48 hours and am now off to beeuutttiful Sweden, so communications may be a little intermittent for the next couple of weeks. Lovely and warm here at the moment, sunshine streaming in through the window, birds singing in the trees, and the joy of wearing all those clothes I left behind and haven't worn in 2 years. Anyway, this all pales into insignificance compared to the anguish I feel having left you behind, I'm just using it to fill the void, sniff, sniff, oh God, I can't take it any more.....oh errr, yeh anyway.

, see you later.

Hugs
Pete

Greetings from Wellington!

Thats about it really... just smug cos I'm here with the lovely Hamish!
All good!

Happy Smiley Annie!

...Out with the love... : )

Hello troops... well in these dark post-Pete days i am in desperate need of distraction. Al has come up with the fiendishly good idea of going to view Mars at the Auckland Observatory this weekend, assuming it doesn't piss it down that is. Once in a lifetime opportunity unless they discover the elixir of youth and we all live to reach the ripe old age of 60,493. Is 12 bucks and you can find out more about it at www.stardome.org.nz. Let me or Al-ee-star know and we'll make a booking (or we can do it next week if you're all planning to be in a narcotics induced haze this Saturday).

Ugh. Lots of sleep over weekend, feel marginally better.

Pete, you smug man, I reel in jealousy over your upgrade. All I have is an aisle seat and a very, very long flight home on the 5th/6th.

Anyone wanna buy a mattress/car/mobile phone? In NZ, that is...Pete, any offers greatfully received, so long as you're prepared to pay shipping costs!

Yours in tiredness,

Matt

Sitting in a starbuckseque joint overlooking the stretch of water between Hong Kong island and the other main bit of Hong Kong called Kowloon. Can sit here a while for the price of a Snapple (something I have missed in NZ). Have spent entire day walking around in heat and humidity, but have achieved my gadget fix...

Getting upgraded on the plane was definitely the business. Whichever spurious lie Vicky wrote on my reservation, make sure she writes it on yours too....champagne Mr Baldwin....?

Miss you all terribly.

Luv

Pete

Hey all,
Disco Stu here, Just a quick note to say that I had a great time on Sat,
Quite a fitting send off for our beloved Pete, and a good piss up all in all.
I thank you all for the lovely compliments I recieved, and I also thank all the ladies for looking sooo fine, I'm sure you have added a couple of years to my life - with the great mental images I now hold so dear. Talking of images, what is the web addy of the pic site, and when will some pics be up?

I have just found out that my father's Orange Paisley suit is still in existance and I may be able to get my hands on it. Now that will be class.

To all of those who don't have my email addy, it follows - just in case you to send me some love personelly.
an_lkey@hotmail.com

Keep in touch all, and I look forward to seeing the photo's.

Pete, is there any chance of us getting a copy of the video on obsolete technology?? So when you have gone NZ still has a version of the night.

Later
Mike

Peter honey,

feel the love!

We're gonna miss you babe!

Adster's Top Tip of the Day:
Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Two things.

Wow

Thank You

Love and hugs

Dear All,

I understand that this weekend you will be celebrating that you are finally getting rid of Swampy (aka Pete). On behalf of the family back in London, please let us see as many photos as possible and also please let him survive long enough to get on the plane home!

Cheers

One More Sleep... "a lot's kicking foxy"

Oh God. Not more drinks. Sobriety is but a distant memory....anybody for sleep? No? Thought not.

On the subject of going out & getting plastered (which I know is going to hold your attention), who's up for moving on to somewhere like the Fu bar afterwards? Or even midway through? Us dodgy old ravers are feeling distinctly left out & are losing touch with our roots!

In the meanwhile, I'd just like to comment on how grim it is to know that someone on this PC, in this Internet cafe, has been surfing porn. I feel like I should be wearing gloves to avoid contamination. Every time I type anything in the scrollbar all sorts of 'orrible things are appearing - and someones' put links to 'XXX Porn' on the Desktop...eeewwww....

Well, must dash...I must go & figure out exactly what monies I have access to over the weekend....

And as for Nick...he too is a muse! But at this moment I am stuck to think of anything other than 'Dick' to rhyme with his name, so I shall sign off - if you carn't say anything nice, then don't say nuttin', as various people have said on various occasions...

Drinks, drinks and yet......more drinks.

Yes it is that day once again ladies and gents......and you thought you had another week of sobriety! 6pm tonight, Empire bar. See ya there :)

-W.
