I literally haven't had time to write up Glasgow, Munich or Sardinia but for now wanted to jot down some memorable moments which keep coming up in stories being told..

- After talking non-stop about Kath and Kim on the flight to Alghero, Leah proceeds to buzz the steward only to order '2 CARDONNAYS' ("the aitch is soilent, Mrs Doi"), without realising. Fucking gold.
- Whilst lining up to get on the plane home from Friedrichshafen the German guy in front of us found it quite amusing when I shouted 'SCHNELL! SCHNELL!!' when they finally opened the gates (yes, we flew Ryanair, but it's no reason to be herded around for nearly 50 minutes..)
- At Carol's birthday last weekend, Leah (under many influences) thought she was Jake (the fuckin') Muss... "CHER CHER BRO. JUST BACK THE FUCK DOWN. GIRL. I'M JAKE THE MUSS!' Complete with arm and head movements. 24 carat as.
- In the cab from Oktoberfest to our hotel (with my two new American friends) the completely German cab driver couldn't understand why I started yelling.... it was SexyBack! And we had no volume!
- So far I've had to run for three planes because for some reason we didn't hear the boarding call. The closest was our measley flight from Manchester to Glasgow. We were set up at the bar when we noticed our flight should've been called, starting yo worry we proceed through to the gates.... "Will passengers Hawkett and Towsty PLEASE make their way to the boarding area now as the gates are now closing"... after the obligatory cacking of ones self, we piss bolted and JUST made the gate. And thank christ, cause Tool was only 4 hours away on the other end.
- Since Rodda left his bag behind at the car rental office in Alghero (containing his and Carol's stuff), we needed to go clothes shopping on our first day in Sardinia. We found a clothing outlet (Bernardi's).. which, on closer inspection was like a tarted up Primark. Us girls went digging through handbags and any other bargain bins and Carol eventually rustles up some underwear. What does Rodda come back to the car with? "A lined and fitted Italian suit! For only 39 Euro! That's like 20 quid man!!". That night at dinner Carol got fucked over on ordering fish which eventually rang up at a whopping 49 Euro's. Rodda couldn't help but point out "You can buy an Italian suit for that!"
- Meeting Warrick Capper's psycho lookalike at the AFL exhibition match. Somewhere there's a photo of him taking a speccy over my shoulder after screaming at him for a photo (OH DEAR).
- Being told that Worksop is actually pronounced 'WORKsop' not 'WARsop' like I was told by some old fogey working at Nottingham station. Christ sake! Will someone get it right please!!

I must write up those holidays in full before I forget all the classics.. come to think of it, but maybe it's better that way?
