We are due to touch down at LHR on Sat 3rd April at midday, flying back out Sat 10th Apr at 10pm.

A good time to rendezvous with Hils is the Friday before we fly out.... Hils has promised not to have an early night!

Trying to T things up with Vicky.... H and I may try to fly in a day before and then we can all meet up on Friday 2nd - Vicky will then fly up to Aberdeen for her sisters Hen weekend on the Saturday...

Hamish's Mum is in town too!

Its so exciting!

As for Bristol boy, he is back in JUNE! He should be back in contact soon, having reurned from the very white, very chilly place!

Will ring soon : )

Bluddy hell. Pls let us have dates as soon as you can so we can arrange.
Hurrah.
When is Adam back?

Can you believe it!

I am coming home!!!
And bringing Hamish with me!

My Mum as some of you know, has been taken ill - (on the road to recovery now) but I still want to come home and give her a hug!
So H and I are heading home for a week leading up to Easter. Vicky is confirming the flights as we speak... (Vicky is also home at the same time!)

So when's the party?!
Seriously, I am coming home to spend some quality time with my parents (who live the other side of Cardiff) , but I'll be buggered if I don't track a few of you down around the place whilst I am home!
Hils is also in London that week!

The real trick is going to be getting Vicky down from Scotland (And Jamie from ireland)as she it tied up every weekend....

Answers on a postcard please!

Hope to hear from you all soon
Hugs
Annie

Pete - I ended up with 2 pints of cider all down my jeans as well...which was fabulous as I had to wear them the next morning when going back to Gemma's....tasteful. Vengeance will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.

It definately looked as if everyone was having a great time - though the DJs were both so smashed they couldn't remember half the requests 2 minutes afterwards!

In my defence, the massage started off with an old friend and her boyfriend...and then I got requests! Thankfully I'm pretty sure the photos aren't TOO embaressing of me - though I'm looking forward to seeing the one's of Bev!

*cackles gleefully*

Ahh, back at work on a Monday morning - I knew there was something I had missed all that time mucking around in miserable New Zealand, all you have is raging floods and floating cows now I understand.

Anyway, whahay, we do at least keep the social/alcohol/debauchery traditions in strong form however, this weekend in Bangor, site of the fish's coming of age bash, complete with lots of people, Jamie trying it on with small Japanese women, Matt massaging furiously and a lot of lollipops. Not to mention me pouring two pints of lager and Matt's vodka and coke down my jeans all with one brief flick of a toe... bloody dice game...

I think everyone had a good time - there was quite a good NZ contingent there, Bev and Ged snogging conspicuously by the bar, Jamie and Matt.

Photos up in the next couple of days.

P

This is a desperate plea to Pete... please don't post ALL of those photos on the blog... pleeeease, we promise to behave better next time.

Adam Honey, aren't you somewhere they shouldn't have email?! Middle of the Southern Atlantic etc?!!

Please take the glass away from Annie, that message was after she had two snowballs and a babycham!

But, I do concur, KatFishy is Dishy and I wishy her a .... ishy .. ishmas.

Okay, kinda lost it there, but many happy returns for the day.

Love you long time old timer

Hugs

Adam

Embarassing frankly - embarassing...

Kat Fishy Darling! I am slighty inebriated, but not enough to forget to wish you a fantastically happy 30th birthday! I am off to Taupo for the weekend, but I dare not miss the occaision! Have a blast my darling : )
You are and angel and I love you dearly, Auckland is all the emptier for your absence.
I have some great photos from the past few months especially of your beloved and my boys(H and Al). On my web site soon...
Why Am I posting this on Blogger not you personal email? Can't be arsed quite frankly to log back in, and partly cos I want people to know (what a lush I am - no!) quite how lovely you are and I want to start a 'let's praise Katfish' movement! Mojito's are evil things ain't thay! Take care my chicken and wish me all the best for my hangover inthe morning! Here's to the dirty thirties - bring it on!
Big hugs babe

Outragious suggestion from ole sweedy there.

Yes you can text abroad, whats more, once your texts hit the ten dollar mark, they are free for the rest of the month. What´s more you can broadcast text, that is, text many people abroad at once, like I did everytime I was atop a volcanoe or just jumped from a plane. What´s more I have already hit the ten dollar mark for Feb and there is twelve dolla credito on the phone, so until the end of March, it will cost Annie nothing to text Pete with the following message as much as she wants "Pete has an unhealthy interest in cucumbers and castrol GTX"

There seems to be a tiny problemo receiving them though.
I have had texts from my mum and my sister, but another sister and friend have not been able to send or reply. La Fishy Kat claimed she was unable to send texts from England, but I believe that, when I turned down her sexual advances she got psycho, and the court order stopped telecom conecting her phone to mine.

Hands up anybody going to the white continent next week!

ps, Thanks to Matt unt Mike for leaving messages on mah web site. I have replied to both.

Notably generous of the Bristolian - but you realise you can't text abroad on that don't you my petal?

¡Gracias! Peter - for pointing out the error of my links, should be fixed now

Annie, any outragious text messages from unknown hunks, please pass them on.

Buenos Aires is a great city - it´s fantastic here, and there was even a street party outside my hostel last night to welcome me here. Didn´t quite reach the Auckland 200k standard, but was very nice of them to put it on for me.

I can´t remember if I ever mentioned it, but this time next week, I´ll be in ANTARCTICA.

PS, I just about remember the following conversation, but can´t remember who it was with or how it went exactly, but if you know anything about it, let me know. It went something like this...

other person: You are leaving?
me: Yes, I am going to Antarctica (very unlike me, because I hate talking about it)
other person: I thought your accent was funny!

Who was this person? I want to know because I´ve never been mistaken for an Antarctican before.

AAPNAC Adam

Why have you linked to a funeral home?

´Time to say Goodbye´
Thank you everyone for making this weekend better than I could have ever asked for as my last weekend in New Zealand. Inviting 200,000 of my closest friends, the Auckland Fill-her-monic (what´s a ´monic´?) and to put on such a firework display was more than I deserved.
I will miss you all.

I am here in Argentina, got a window seat with a spare seat next to me, so I was sitting pretty on the 10 hour flight. I have however, gone back in time and arrived 2 hours before I took off, which is very strange.

I will try and do emails, but all my news will be on www.abtayler.co.uk

Thank you so much for a great year, and here´s to many more ... Up your bum, don´t tell mum

Love ya

Yes Bev, about that secret...... go on you can tell us, we wont tell, we're real good at keepin secrets :-)

Just a quick note form everyone's fav Kiwi - that being me...
I have a HUGH weekend planned - I have an ex-work mates Stag do tonight, which involves going out on a boat at 7pm and getting dropped off at the Viaduct at 11pm, horribly drunk with a big group of mates..... the rest I shall leave to your imagination.

Then on Sat after I recover from my hangover, we have a lovely picnic in the Domain, followed by laser lights and a symphony... as per last domain drinkathon I may partake in a few bubbles...... the rest I shall leave to your imagination.

My closing comment shall be about the magnificent day we are having, there is not a cloud in the sky, nor a flutter of wind - shall be a perfect day for drinking in the harbor and gettin completely smashed - so I am unable to remember any of it.

much love 2 you all

Mike the lovable Kiwi

Beevvveeerrlleeeeeee......
I wanna know the secret, I wanna know the secret!
Go on go on Go on!
You know you want to!
Besides - Ged doesn't log on to Blogger!

Indeed a fun weekend, but I dont remember Pete having a camera, so I'm a little worried... let's hope he didn't snap Jo groping my left breast on the dance floor (thanks Jo).

Adam thank you for not posting my secrets on blog!! Annie, thank you for not squeezing my other secrets out of me on speaker-phone when I was very drunk and easily swayed...

Anyway I am fully ready for a birthday Fish so bring it on...

*Yawn*

In work, feeling a tad battered. That weekend was truly top notch - even if I can't remember the majority of Thursday night! Thinking I'm going to sleep for a couple of weeks before I can even contemplate the birthday of Fish.

Valentine's Day is coming, so I hereby invite the populace of this board into a prolonged 'bah humbug!'.

Cheers Ears.....

Hi.

Yes, well, despite all the planning in the world, we ended up at that boat and they wouldn't let us in for Waitangi Day - jees. Beautiful irony indeed.

Lots of people came, in their own good time, Seb and Sadie, Ross and Amanda, Jamie, Bev, Sue, Welchy, and myself and the Fish and various other hangers on...

I do recall kind of talking to you guys, although it was much more of a yell down the phone from my part rather than anything more coherent.

No photos yet, but will put them up when we get them back.

Two weeks brings us the Fish 30th, which frankly will be more of the same. I can't say more at this point 'cos its a secret...

Hugs from us all.

Pete

Hello to you all!

Hope you had a great time on the boat on the Thames,
(sorry but we quite liked the irony about not being able to get on one cos of Waitangi day!)
It was lovely to speak to you all - brought a tear to the eye and a big smile to our faces!
My my my, you did start early didn't you - we thought 8.30 would be a safe bet for a semi coherent chat!

We had a look at all our photos from Austin Powers, Taupo 1, 2, 3 etc, Halston House warming, Halloween etc
Happy Happy days!

We miss you all heaps and look forward to the day we are ALL together again...
(Weddings are always good for that sort of thing! Any offers!!!)

Big Hugs

Annie, Hamish, Adam and Vicky xxxx
the New Zealand die hards!

I think the comments feature I installed the other day was slowing everything down. Is it faster now? I shall endeavour to change the colour for Bev when I have a moment.

P

I have a score of 1178.9, but I will try it with the real thing in Antarctica in three weeks time. Must remember to pack the club!

Smack the penguin [steroids version]!!!

Top score 1215. Beat that!

I find that the picture of the knees rarely comes up, no matter how long you wait. Its only come up once on my mum's pc, never at work, or at the library. Also, can I place a request for a more cheery background colour??
See you Friday!

In terms of the delay in loading the page - does the title picture appear and then you wait a bit or is it the whole page that fails to appear? and for how long?

P

By the way PETER,

You have a problem with clip-ons do ya?

Hello Pete,

Feedback on the new format as requested.....

Tres nice


One tiny problemo, I have tried it on several computers now so I don't think it's the connection, but it can take an age for the page to load, apart from that, I think you need to design things for a livin'
