Well after a massive weekend of visiting all my brothers and sisters and children, of which there are millions of :-) not really, whom are all fabulous little peoplea brilliant concert in which Jarad played we are now in Dublin yippie
We being travel wise pre purchased our rail tickets to Gatwick Airport over the net and printed them, for some reason i think as i used Sarah n Jarads addie my card wasnt registering so we used Jarads card printed the ticket and thought job done.........
Until we got to Victoria train station and discovered to my horror that bobble heads that work for the rail way are the same the world over n the rude ignorant pig bitch wouldnt give us our prepaid for tickets coz we didnt have the credit card used to pay for them...
Well what would happen if a parent bought th,em for their kid you wouldnt be giving them your card would you no you wouldnt you fkn stupid bitch im screaming as Lav is dragging me away so i didnt get arrested.....Lav then went and bought the tickets again im not talking pennies either this is £50 a pop herei madly ring Jarad to get him to try to cancel payment to the fktards..... We get to Gatwick and the thiething bastards there only give me €105 for my 100£ grrrrrrr but at least our flight was good loving the accents .....
We arrive at Dublin and change more money and get the right price €115 for a £100 buses here are brilliant €13 for a 3 day pass not like thiething britsh rail which charge us £15 a bloody trip on top of our oyster card grrrrrr
Lav is in love with Ireland and he has only been to the pub he is on first name basis with two of the barmen already and doing what i know call disgusting guiness farts OMG the
EIRANN EVERYTHING IS CALLED EIREANN HERE PHOTOS SOON TO SHOW YOUy are killers he well may be sleeping in the hallway if they dont cease immediatly !!!!!!

well all we had a wonderful day yesterday, got the hop on hop off bus round London and saw the sights what a gr8 way to do it you get to see all the sights and get off at those you want to see more of.
we did the Jack the Ripper walking tour around WhiteChapel it is amazing to see the area while has changed enormously since 1888 in some ways the buildings and cobblestones havent change the original stones where several of the woman were murdered are still there along with some of the pubs they drank at.
Today we're going to get the bus and go to St James Palace to see the changing of the guard then off to visit the Tower of London and as i spotted a couple of great looking of street markets so im hoping to talk Lav into jumping off the bus to see those, we then i hope are going out to tesco at Perivale the clothes are so cheap:
Dinner at Covent Gardens with Kim and Matt who as I write this am reminded of what he told to his son Bailey Auntie Deb didnt want to meet you as she doesnt like little boys reducing the poor child to tears. hopefully back to the room for a nana nap b4 dinner!!

our trip
well after another nite shif i was more than ready to have a greats sleep prior to getting ready to leave for the airport but as they say well laid plans of mice and men....
four hours sleep later running around like a blue arsed fly, we got under way wondering all the way to sydney "what have we forgotten" but seeing i had only minimal sleep yet again couldnt remember what i forgot and then pulling into the carpark i looked down and saw i was nearly empty note to self get fuel on way home!!!!!!
we made our way via train to airport were Lav got stung 9$to enter oops also forgot family pass [tard] we then sailed shock horror through customs except that i gave over pommie passport not aussie one so guy on gate says you have another passport yep says i hand it over he says cancels stamp in pommie one and informs me nicely use aussie to enter and leave australia then pommie one elsewhere nice n helpful he was.
I then wait for lav to pass through with bated breath but he breezes through and i get turned over by helga the horror who swabs me everywhere and my bags hmmm she was a bit fresh but wasnt gonna argue ..
we behave and only buy our alottment of smokes and grog sadly turning our backs on all the good stuff and ge on the plane... we get to bangkok leave the plane go to smokers room get gassed by all the fumes in there get searched again by bangkok security ????? strange as we never left the secure area had to almost strip shoes snd all back on the plane to complete the 23 hour trip with no onboard enertainment i know ive mentioned it several times but it has pissed me off i mean 23 bloody hou rs with nothing to watch tried to sleep lav had a guy in front that as soon as his drinks arrived he'd drop his seat down so drink would go everywhere can anyone say aggrivated
