As I recall, Billy Bunter anticipated his was going to be in the region of £5; so he spent more than half of that in advance, mostly on fizzy drinks and sticky buns; and he was therefore woefully out of pocket when his uncle’s letter finally arrived with a postal order for a mere £1, along with the admonition to ‘spend it wisely’!

You wouldn’t believe how much it’s been raining here. Thick cloud overhead, sodden underfoot. Joe and I are currently planting Kale in mud and covering it with shredded fleeces recovered from the ‘field’.

i haven’t read that in ages! really must update the epic tale at some point.

thats some sound advice Dod, i may look into it. Shane’s seems to be looking for people. on the other hand the Yen is a fickle creature and stockpiles of it might not be the best idea when the big earthquake hits! anyway im doing a bunch more lessons at gaba, so incomings will increase somewhat. a tad draining doing 7 or 8 in a row though.

How much is the catholic postal order for anyway?

As confusion surrounds the situation between the board and manager at the Newcastle, the message from the fans is clear. “Keegan goes boycoutt the club!!!

Jul, I see that your hanging out a lot with “Alex”. Is this the same guy who invited you to play football at Sesame Street?

Also, was showing our LTJ website to a pretty girl. Tears of laugher rolled down her cheek… when she was reading your “life story”. I think you’ve pulled. (Everyone else, I highly recommend re-reading Jul’s biography on LTJ)

The way the pound is sliding against the yen, you might not be able to buy much with the Catholic windfall. A more prudent course of action could be to maximise yen earning potential at a time of sterling weakness, thereby replenishing the base currency coffers in fewer man hours.

As your financial advisor, I strongly suggest seeking the assistance of a man named Shane – or was it Wayne?

stealing some internet from the apple store next door to work. 🙂

indeed, it was a touch foolhardy but i felt some wierd energy influx. As Tan suggests it might have something to do with the complete lack of exercise in the last few months apart from the occasional half hearted 20 push ups on the odd morning. As it turned out i did follow it up with a small tot of rum and a hearty meal with Alex and his girlfriend in yokohama. I often head down there on a weekend or Alex pops up to my neck of the woods. It was his birthday last tuesday and as i dont recall the night completely im pretty sure it added to my physical downfall.

Im glad to hear the snortlets are keeping you on the go Tan! I am currently considering tooling back around Xmas for a spell, utilizing a small percentage of my Catholic windfall. 🙂 I’ll keep you posted.
