I'm sitting here at Sydney airport on my way to join Kegsy in the Land of the Rising Sun for a year. I'd just like to say a fond farewell to the Sydney clique - you'd have to look hard to find a finer set of lads and lasses. Thanks for your friendship over the last couple years. Make sure you all stay in touch and don't forget there's a floor in a shoebox apartment with your names on it if ever you're passing through. Hopefully see you back in Oz in a year or two. All the best. Andy

There is another Geordie friend of mine who used to contribute to this list who is enroute to Japan. You may like to get in touch. Email me and I will pass on email addresses.

Good luck

All the best for your new life in Japan Andy - hope everything goes well for you.

ADK, best of luck on your latest sojourn. Always remember, if you fancy a trip down to Singapore, or Hong Kong (my 2 most regular 'homes'), you'll be made more than welcome.

Gan canny ;-)

The pleasure was all ours. Still hoping to stuff you in the fantasy footy like. Oh, and thanks for the wine and sunglasses although I suspect the latter was by accident.

Cheers for the good wishes one and all. No, Kegsy and I aren`t engaged, what do you think I am, a (e)mail order bride?? Haven`t met the bloke yet! LT, got your email, tell them to get in touch with me quick smart of they want tickets - 135 sterling for Irelands group games. Can also get KO stage tickets including final, not sure of the prices yet. Tickets apparently from@Fifa so shouldn`t even be dodgy.

So Andy, still here or did you take one look at it and get on the first plane back. Give me a call if you fancy a beer...

Hey Kegsy - the tight b@st@rd's probably still scratching his head at road signs as he tries to hitchhike out of Tokyo en route for Joshi (sp?)

;O)))

In a land of little people, ADK's our very own Joshi's Giant !!

He'll have no problems - all he needs to do is look ofr the signs for 'bum feck nowhere'. When he reaches there he needs to keep going a further 30 kn, turn left and when he hits the sea. He'll be there. As Choshi's a fishing village on the coast he'll probably be staying in a trawler park as well.

Have fun Andrew! (:o)

hehehehe - and I'm sure the language school Andy's going to work for sold it to him as a throbbing metropolis !

Still, at least he'll be able to send back some prawn sarnies for us Sydney clique.

I'm just away now for the weekend so have a top one yourself. Go drink one of them table-top kegs of beer like you made me do a month or two back

;OP

made you? what do you mean made you? I was quite happy to order a few small beers and you were complaining that the keg was the largest thing they had!

Have a good week-end LT and I'm still hoping that I make it out there at the end of this year
