That'll include the hair, then? Wondered where it went to.

[claymore]

Daren't risk straying far frae ra cludgie at present.....been going on since last week so mebbes I'll see the quack - or a plasterer.

[sahona]

We anticipate rounding Mulligan's Tyre this week sometime. Do reveal which emporium sells the Earthas so we can be prepared...

[claymore]

Working on tomorrow - Eartha seems to be moving slowly on. I can't work out how she found me - my body being a temple, unlike Para whose body is more of a kebab shop.....

[wully]

Follow Para's lead ya spanner. Aw rat caviar , lobstur an port isnae meat fur men. Chups, kebabs and curry wull en sure ye get yer 5 a day.

And remember tae stay properly hydrated. Guinness is no bad, whusky better, wi a wee splash o watter of course.

Serves ye rite fur eatin salad. Probably swallied a slug.

After that jaunt across the North Sea , I'd have happily eaten a dodgy salad (plus or minus slug!) . Not enough food , water and sleep totally effed up my digestive system. Took 6 days until I felt the need to go somewhere, then almost 24 hours of hell sorting that out. Buckets of fresh fruit and juice since then, trying to get things on an even keel again. Never experienced anything like ir. and don't want to again. NOT FUNNY AT ALL! Stop giggling at the back!! Never realised the hazard involved at all. ? Next plan is a shed load of small water bottles en route...
