Me hol...

Aww...well im back... Feeling absolutely fantastic considering ive been awake since 3am this morning (but 9am Phuket time!!) and ive got to be at work for 10am!!

To keep it short and sweet, the holiday was absolutely fantastic (except for the brush with death that I had on one of the flights back that left me blubbering like a wreck!) We soon sorted it though with two sleeping tablets from a shop I had been to just outside of a supermarket (I think she told me to take half a tablet every six hours...I took 2 tablets before the flight from Bangkok to London! (After experiencing the "ooomph" of them am thinking that they may not be "legitimate/Legal" goods but the damage has been done now and it gave me 5-6 hours of glorious, much needed sleep on the second flight!! I know this doesnt sound much but bear in mind that before this after playing russian roullette with my life on the phuket to London flight, and then been in bangkok airport for what felt like an eternity, I was thinking there was no way I would step foot upon a second plane... Sooooo it was a result that I am unable to remember stepping on the plane and got to sleep as well!!)

Bangkok, although enjoyable was not "all that" but it is fun because u can do like all the foreigners in our lovely country (u know when its quite obvious that someone is calling you a wanker in french/spanish/chinese/indian etc etc well, when the taxi drivers were trying to rip us off (it happened lots in Bangkok) We just gave them lines like... "U really are taking the piss arent u..." or "your a proper gobshite arent u??" while smiling and nodding and he would reply with "yes sir.." I had one encounter where I accidentally gave a taxi man the wrong note.. (about 14 pound more than I needed to give him) and i was trying to get it back off him and he was having none of it... so I had to snatch it off him and then said "oooh, u wanker... thats ur tip down the drain.. ok.. yes ... ba bye!"... Only in Bangkok can you get u get away with such an atrocity!!!

Phuket, or more to the point, the hotel that we stayed in Phuket, was absolutely out of this world. (www.andamanwhitebeach.com) From the gong when we arrived (yes, I finally got a gong when I arrived somewhere... Someone has finally realised that I am royalty! ((not a queen as some have been fooled into believeing, but THE QUEEN!!)) to the beachfront (literally ON the beach) villa and the banana and white chocolate cocktails, it was a world away from anywhere I have ever (ever ever) stayed! I cant even begin to tell you how nice the place as a whole was... we were 45 minutes from any civilation but the taxi was certainly not breaking the bank if we wanted to go into town which we did a few times!! I could certainly get used to these kinds of holidays although Im not sure that I could get used to the flights!! And for the record, if anyone is wondering, me and Richard got on better than I think both of us thought we would! So A+ all around!!

So its back to the grind stone... I may have more photos to add, am still lookin through them myself at the moment as have had to take the photos with seperate memory card on my digital camera (the thing fucked up 20 photos into the shooting so I had to use another memory card!) was not best impressed!!

Anyway.. Went my dads yesterday and he has given me some money from the sale of his house that I was a bit WOWish about so am rather chuffed with that little bonus and I got to see my jaya (who before my holiday was spot ridden and looked poorly bad!) whereas now, she looks like a supermodel baby but has a cold!! Went to next later on yesterday with Bev in Crewe (tis massive!) and bought her some new clothes just to reiterate that I am the best uncle in the world!!

Right.. Think I best start thinking about getting ready for workies!! MWAH!!! XXxxxxxx
