Richard sent me this,I'm only about 10 minutes into at the moment, but it sounds good.

Well we lost the rugby, boooo. Also for the first time in 25 years ( ish ) the fire fighters in England have gone on strike for 48 hours with strikes later on for 8 days, no one play with matches. Also a guy has been freed after 25 years in jail. What do you say, sorry ummmmm yeah 1/3 of your life in jail, ummm yeah, here is a fiver. Anyway, its getting towards the sharp end of the year, not sure if Emma and I have a free weekend before we fly out, mwaaaa. Getting very excited about the move, wanna get there now, find a job and start enjoying it (before anyone says anything, yes I will miss people here).
