hi all my monthly update lol seems i never get on here as much as i want. i'm either at practice being with rachael, or got my head in a book doing essays. but anyway tis the sesason to be jolly bah bloody humbug! i had a huge monsters chinese dinner saturday and a few beers last night which is good cos was my birthday on sunday now 24 who'd have thought it? i gained the freshman 15 twice over. through the huge amounts of beer i've been consuming was approaching a gallon a night at one point. anyway i got to the stage where i'm having to start rummaging through the bags in the loft for my old cloths again as the current ones are starting to get a little small. grrrrr and with christmas coming tis the season to eat junk. football is going well but my weight and fitness is starting to affect my ability.

here are some photos two from last night at a fancy dress party. the othe a few posters from my room (got bored)

HI Si! Your fancy dress (costume) party looked fun! Glad to hear from you again! I can't remember--where in the UK are you?

Good to hear from you again Si. Looks like you have been very busy. Thanks for sharing the pics. I love costume parties.

Hi Si - love the pics. Good to see you dropping in.

You look great in that blue dress Si. I did not know you could look so cute.

Come on dude it's time to lay off the beer and shape up so you can be all that you need to be for your team. I know you can do this because you have before. so for your next monthly check in I want to here a good report.

good in the blue dress? not sure rachael likes that comment lol. although i do like to try it on when shes not here .

i started back in the gym yesterday with a new fool proof plan to get me out of bed! basically i park my car illegally outside my block. the gym opens at 8am and the parking warden starts at 8 too, so i have to get up to move my car to avoid a ticket and then since i'm up go to the gym. the walk from the college car park to my room is about 600yds. and from my room to the gym is about about 50ft. if i didn't do this i'd just go back to sleep as i have been doing

jen i'm down in the southwest in plymouth home of the pilgrim fathers and all that. will get some pics up of the mayflowers steps and that if anyone is interested

Tell Rachael she is beautiful. Is that you in the goth outfit or a friend. I could not tell for sure and there was no goatee.

Si--that is a great plan, as long as you don't oversleep!

My boyfriend is from the Northwest (Preston). I don't think I have heard anyone with a Southwestern English accent before!

preston a lancashire boy. my family is from blackburn. southwest accent is well unique lol. have you seen robin hood prince of thieves? well at the end when they storm the castle to free the prisoners little john throws some guy off the ramparts and his wife is sat down and says "ello my lover" thats the closest to a southwest accent you'll find without coming here

howie its me in the goth outfit shaved the beard just for the costume

Si - Good to hear from you!!!

I love the poster with John Cleese and the "Silly Walk". I LOVE Monty Python! Can I sneak in and steal that poster?
