So I'm out on the other side of the planet (still haven't fallen off yet) and I've stuck a few pics up at http://www.flickr.com/photos/emvee if anyone wants a gander.

It's lovely here

Looks stunning!

I need to save some money and holiday days to go there too.

You're looking shaggy these days. Looks beautiful down there. Make sure to spend some time running around with a wooden sword yelling, "Smite the Orcs!"

It's okay, the horse people have taken care of that

New Zealand is the Country of the Houyhnhnms, as visited by Lemuel Gulliver?

So what's the temp down there in summerland?

...while on the other hand, Australia is all rainstorms and swampland... dang.

Glad to see you had fun.

Looks awesome!

But... has been such a long time since I last saw you, Emvee? You were practically bald back then. And now you're Captain Jack!

Funny you should mention that, I won 2nd prize in a fancy dress competition the other night...as Captain Jack. Gonna get my dreads redone while I'm out here too, as it's like just over £50, opposed to £200-£250 back in Camden. Dunno what the temperatures are here beyond "too hot to breathe", this has been the hottest and sunniest Christmas day I've ever had.

Haha, and there's the teensiest possibility I may be fired when I get back, but I think I've got a pretty watertight case so I'm positively relishing the disciplinary meeting on 15th Jan...I'll post more closer to the time and let you know how it goes, 'cause I'm certainly going to take a dictaphone in with me to get a transcipt of this one

If you got 2nd prize, who got 1st?

Uh oh, sounds prertty intense, the prospect of being fired. But I'm sure you'll give it a favourable spin.

I've just been reading these and thinking "Rob doesn't look anything like Captain Jack

".

Then it dawned on me that you were on about a different Captain Jack...

And in case you were wondering, I do think in emoticons.
