Amsterdam

So here it is people, Amsterdam. I think this time I have truly outdone myself. I have uploaded in excess of 610 photos for you to trawl through. It was a mammoth task. In the beginning I was not sure I could even locate them and once I had, the actual procedure of transferring them was rather large. And not to mention the fact that my web site running costs are now like to increase by a factor of about ten! But despite all this, it had to be done. the boysYou see, every picture is equally important; each one tells its own tale. Every single digital still you are about to witness represented a carefree time in our lives, a utopian time when we were all invincible (except when Stacey threw a wobbly). The photos give us an opportunity to re-visit not just old friends, places but more importantly memories of feelings we seldom experience in the day-to-day. From the care-free folics at the airport to the friendly face of the Dutch cabbie, to the creature comforts of our hotel rooms to the warm smiles of the ladies of the night. Or who can remember the pain of watching England get knocked out of the Euro 2004 in an Irish bar, or the time when Neil dressed up in Clara's pyjamas, or the time when James left the land of the living, or the sheer pugnacious spirit of Neil; I could go on all day. I feel it is no over-exaggeration when I say that these photos are a holiday in themselves. The photos are divided into 6 roughly equal sections. Do no be overly surprised if things get a tad slow, there are a lorra, lorra photos and a lorra people who want to see them!

  3. Say…who’s that sexy guy with the buff red bum??? To lick it would be a pleasure.

  4. These photos are magnificent! I laughed most at Neil’s friend, the guy with the harmonica. Stacey, i would appreciate never seeing your hair like that again. I am pleased Hopkins got a photo of the tiny numberplate. The one which i spotted and told everyone to look at.

  5. I hate you Mr Kelly

  6. I hate you too honey bunny. I hate you too. But it seems that a very attractive lady likes me!

  11. Glad you all enjoyed the pictures! Oh and its good to see such a healthy set of comments, please no swearing though. Mr Overall, Wordpress is a peice of blogging software.

  12. Sorry i said a naughty word. But its ok to have a picture of Fam’s guiche! Show your parents!

  13. I wanna come to your stag nights! Its not fair

  14. a very sexy lady says:

    the dark ahired skinny one is the sexy one. i don’t know his name though. maybe if you told me who was who on your site i might be able to tell you his name

  15. I think you mean Paolo. He is buff.

  16. a very sexy lady says:

    which picture is poalo?

  17. Paolo is the one in the very first photo, holding the money, looking like he wants to cry. Is that who you mean?

  18. a very sexy lady says:

    no thats not who i’m talking about then. the other dark haired skinny one.

  19. Ah now a dilema for hopkins - He could step forward here and claim to be the mystery ‘dark haired one’ claiming the victory that a self proclaimed ‘very sexy lady’ thinks he is the sexiest of all his friends (she hasn’t seen a picture of me!). But here is the catch- claiming that victory would also mean admitting that he has been described as the ’skinny one’ and not the super pumped chunky beefcake we all thought he was!! what will he choose - to be or not to be, that is the question

  20. Alex, he could never claim it was him because he is super-fat. Sexy Lady, why don’t you just describe a photo with the dark haired skinny one in and we will tell you who it is.

  21. Fam maybe?

  22. Yeah it’s Fam!! Why didn’t we think of him before…….

  23. a very sexy lady says:

    in dam 2 on the forth row, bottom picture there is 3 guys and a girll. its the middle one.

  24. Oh thats mr hopkins himself! He is buff, certainly. Maybe we should arrange for the two of you to meet up?

  25. a very sexy lady says:

    sure where about do you live mr hopkins?

  26. I liked picture number 47. It was cool.

  27. Fusco’s girl in purple was well nice! - id be happy with that!
