Mate, sounds like a DISASTER!! Good luck with that one! =P

“…or in return for lessons in Cantonese (?Could I have set meal two, please?, ?It?s very cold? etc) teaching the guys equally important English phrases (?that?s what your mum said?, ?that?s how we roll? etc).”

Glad to see you’re covering the bases, bud. Next up has got to be the correct use of the phrase “about 11″ or the true art of chilling out!

“After the first race we then took another giant logical leap towards the key to victory: tactically bet on over half the horses running. And would you believe it?”

…Believe what?? Mate! I can’t believe you’d leave me in such deep suspense, is what! Is DK living in a solid gold cat box next year or not??

“We thought we spotted the face of Bo in among them.”

Lol, dude, you guys are such losers! XD

Well, while you were having sock fiascoes, the small city of Canterbury has been fairly quiet!
I don’t know how much of next years living arrangements have rustled down the ol’ grape vine to you but here’s the D.L.: As our house stands, the most likely candidate for the room downstairs has become our good friend Luciano! I say “most likely candidate” mostly because he, Claire and Steve have all confirmed that he, in fact, WILL be the person living downstairs. Personally, mate, I think it’s going to be AWESOME!!
On the other hand, all of the Peelster’s house hold are staying around next year, with the exception of the lefty, Andy, who is moving back in with his parents but promises to visit “every other weekend”. Unfortunately, (fortunately? Surely only time will tell.) their tenancy agreement requires them to have at least 5 people in the house. I’ll leave it to you to check my math but that means that they are one person short for next year! =O
With the intention of remedying this, the hunt for a new house-mate has begun! Apparently, they showed some chick around there the other day, she is -in Tim’s words- “not bad” looking and I understand the guys have done some quite considerable facebook stalking of this potential space filler already!

On my end, things have been even slower! I just got back from a weekend at home which had the added bonus of me getting to see my dad back safe and sound from Iraq after his flight in last week! =) He’s brought a couple of toys back with him including some un-used t-shirts (extra long, guaranteed to stay tucked in) and an example of one of America’s failed attempts at winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people, in the form of a football with the flag of Iraq on it. Great on paper, unfortunately, it’s considered a great insult to muddy the national flag and and even bigger one to hit something with your feet…oh well.

Finally, I’m a mere 100-odd pages away from finishing book 11 and WOWZA! is it ever the best so far?! XD I really don’t want to finish it because I don’t know what to do with myself once I have but at the same time I have to know: Is Perrin going to rescue Faile? Will Mat marry Tuon?? Rand’s hand? OMG! I curse the day I read that spoiler but it didn’t make it any less of an awesome chapter!!!

Anyways, bro, I guess that’s it from my end! It was awesome to hear from you and everyone here is really excited about your visit back to the UK in a few weeks! =)

Si,
100 pages to go.

P.S.: Dude?? WTF is this thing at the bottom of the page asking me to type in two words? I guess it’s to stop those spam replys you’ve been getting but still…it wants me to type in “that BADILLO” atm…WTF?? =P

Peace.
