Hello, not sure where you are but I'm in Scotland! Which is great. Been back here for a little while now and having some time to catch up with friends and do some things I haven't really had time to do, important things like sleeping and playstation, and also having time to speak to the BMG's and read the posts on the forum, I love the way this web page has developed in an organic way with lots of really interesting points of discussion and witty posts, there is nothing better than having a laugh and I can honestly say I laughed out loud at some of the gags I read, some very funny people out there!!! and great to see that people from many different country's and backgrounds can all get each other, and, on the whole, understand and accept other peoples sense of humour and way of thinking. One of the most difficult skills in life I think is to see life through someone else's eyes. I would just like to take this opportunity to thank BMG for the fantastic work they have done in creating a web site which at it's source is a business site but seems to be a great place for people to come and have a chat, discuss points of interest and maybe even meet some friends. A hard job I think they have (sorry to sound like Yoda) but I couldn't ask for a better site to represent me. Thank you.

Scotland is really beautiful at the moment, I'm sure the weather is much better than it normally is at this time of year, I'm sitting in my sisters front room at the moment looking out at a wonderful morning and thinking I should really get in the shower and do something. For those of you who live in all year round hot country's you probably don't get that feeling of guilt that us further north or south get that it seems almost sinful to stay indoors on a warm day! I mean all I really want to do today is go and see X-Men 2, which I haven't seen yet, and which I have been trying to see since it came out but something always seems to come up. Always a treat to see Ian Mckellan whether on stage or screen and as I will be seeing him soon for pick ups in New Zealand I don't want to tell him I haven't made it to see his movie! By the way for anyone who can get to London to see his play and haven't do your self a favour and go!!! It is a wonderful production and a chance to see an acting legend, you'll kick yourself when it's run stops and you've missed it.

Just spent two days on the west coast of Scotland at Macrahanish (if that is spelt correctly it was totally by accident, I know there is probably a spell check on this computer but 1 I don't know where it is and 2 it probably doesn't have Macrahanish in it). Anyway went there with Scott who is a friend and is also the man who cuts my hair at his salon YF in Hope street Glasgow. Scott hadn't surfed before but was very keen to start so off we went for the 3 hour drive to the waves. Now after me saying how beautiful it has been in Scotland lately of course it rained when we got to the beach but there were waves although they were quite stormy and not the best conditions I'd seen but Scott really went for it and we spent quite some time braving the cold waters of Scotland and Scott's main problem seemed to be getting out of his wet suit after using all his energy in the water, a problem I've had myself on many occasion.

I remember almost being in tears in Wellington trying to get out of a borrowed suit, from Dom Monaghan, in the height of winter in the pouring rain. But I'm sure we have another convert to surfing in Scott, which is great as I normally have no-one in Scotland to go out with. Saying that Dom is coming to Scotland soon filming a new film so no doubt he'll be keen to get in the water, especially when he sees the amazing weather we are having...talking of which I'm off to enjoy the weather, which probably means spending the afternoon with the X-Men.

Tons of love, Billy XXXxxx

Oh one last thing....What's blue and smells of red paint?
