    Have you read his book? It is so funny, if you have an e-reader I could probably email it to you.

    I agree his book was so funny had me in stitches.

    Hello everyone.

    Hope all are well.

    I've spent the last two weeks in Calabar City, Nigeria.

    Paid for out of money saved by savvy shopping and glitches, so I'd like to say thanks to everyone who has helped me along this year.

    We have it so easy here, honestly, seeing the way others live, just makes me appreciate all the simple things we all take for granted, like a stable electric system,mains gas, fresh tap water, proper sanitation, Pizza Hut, and the very literal hamburger (fried spam in a bun with a toothpick through the middle to hold it together )

    So 97 Niara buys you 1 litre of unleaded and 150 buys you a litre of diesel, the exchange rate is 275 to a £, a beer will set you back 250 for a 500 ml Heineken, it's 25 centigrade at 8 am and stays hot till 1 am, perfect for sitting outside drinking cheap beer then, the people are really friendly and the culture is enriched by diversity.

    I'll post up some pictures over the next few days.

    Pleased you have had fun, and pleased you're back! xx

    Should auld acquaintance be forgot
    And never brought to mind
    Should auld acquaintance be forgot
    And auld lang syne.
    chorus:
    For auld lang syne, my dear,
    For auld lang syne,
    We’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet
    For auld lang syne.
    And surely you’ll be your pint stowp
    And surely I’ll be mine,
    And we’ll drink a richt guid willy waught
    For auld lang syne.
    [chorus]
    We twa hae run aboot the braes
    And pu’d the gowans fine,
    But we’ve wandered monie a wearie fit’
    Since auld lang syne.
    [chorus]
    We twa hae paidled in the burn
    Frae morning sun till dine
    But seas a’tween us braid hae roared
    Since auld lang syne
    [chorus]
    And here’s a hand my trusty fere
    And gie’s a hand o’ thine
    And we’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet
    For auld lang syne.
    [chorus]

    He has been in my local a couple of times lately. Apparently his OH is local.
