Just to wish you a Happy New Year, I'll probably not be on this much after tonight for three weeks. I hope you have a good night whatever you get up to and I hope that 2009 brings you all the best of luck. Take care and chat soon.

You haven't made it as far as the pub then?

hows it going man? great to see you at icons tho briefly. was gutted we missed our reunion in belfast this year. i think you should all descend on edinburgh-we can tear up the town! Abs x

p.s you'll get into the elk easy, you don't look a day over 45!

SNOB. Well your fuckin goin end of story. You can sit with the pipe and slippers on saturday night. There is also a folk night in the keys, darragh folk?

well it just so happens that me and your childhood heroes " The Vengaboys" Are in the elk reunion night on friday night. Evreybodys doin it honey!

aye i've just been working on building up the muscles in my wrist, just a few exercises i saw you doin before. seem to be workin well, what are you doing this weekend?

well i'm just gona be honest with you, I am going tio ride you in Denmark, weather you like it or not! Ha. How do you like those apples?

hey buddy!

photo shoot should be fun!! make sure you smile pretty! can’t wait to see the results of that effort on the next cd. awww myself and niamh are twinnies... though hopefully her's wasnt actually broken and she's fully recovered now.

aww sure i only use the crutches to scare the kids a bit no, my main concern right now with this foot is how i’m going to celebrate a friend’s birthday tomorrow night! i’ve recruited my one friend to carry me around when necessary but if he has to work (at PJ’s, of course… i should just tell Pat this is a special situation, don’t schedule him!) i’m not sure what i’ll do… probs just recruit someone else (isn’t that what friend’s boyfriends are for?). i will not let this foot stop me from having a good time (but don’t worry i’ll be careful )

you have fun this weekend... think of my gimp self hopping around and you'll have a gorgeous smile for the photos, and i'll have a drink tomorrow night for youl!! later buddy xoxo!

the foot's fine enough. really, no pain at all... but still a bit swollen and two of the toes have a gorgeous blue hue. doctor has me on crutches, which i thought would be fun... oh no... i quit that game. i'm much better off just hopping around on one foot (much thanks to 16 years of dance for that one). so might see if i can go into a walking boot. (but the crutches do provide a wonderful tool in that i tell the kids at dance that if they don't dance well they'll get a smack with the crutches... i come from the school of hard knocks obvi )

how's home!? hopefully the trip back was uneventful. i see your playing this weekend (yup, don't worry, i creeped on the webpage) but hopefully after that you can rest for a bit. any good stories from the rest of the usa trip?

Thank You.

maybe if you're lucky you'll get to see me tomorrow.

if you see a poster coming from the back of the audience that says, "DAMIAN I LOVE YOU WILL YOU MARRY ME" don't be worried... it's probs me.

keep your fingers crossed!
