Combatant 2

Representing the luxury beach resort of Bognor Regis, Combatant 2 is a
twenty something male with a wide variety of talents, ranging from the
ability to bounce 5p coins into pint glasses, to instantly looking
German when wearing other people's glasses.  Proficient in one language
plus the naughty words from French, and with a passable Pirate dialect,
he will be invaluable as we traverse largely English speaking countries.
 
Trained in the dubious sounding discipline of "Spin and Pump", and with
supreme hand-eye co-ordination honed by many years practising the ways
of PS2, combatant 2 has the skills to battle the fiercest of tortoises.
Maybe even a turtle with the element of surprise.
 
Pet Hates - Losing at Pro-Evolution Soccer.  Middle aged people that
salsa dance at any opportunity.  Missing Top Gear.
 
Pet Loves - G&T o'clock.  Pompey FC and Harry (boo to you too).
Motorbikes. Writing his future award winning script.  
 
Strengths - The much flexed guns, affectionately named Smith and Weston.
Lethal with both cricket bat and ball.  Master of hypnosis just like
Derren Brown.
 
Weaknesses - Diminishing strength of the Samson variety.  Betfair.
Prone to sneezing fits.

Combatant 1

Combatant 1 is a sprightly girl, aged 21 ish, hailing from St Alban’s. Though lacking in some of the height department, the near 8 million pixel perfect photographic memory more than makes up for any short comings. Plus, anything you have done wrong in the past is rigidly imprinted onto the brain, so beware.

Trained in the art of Tae-Bo, 3rd Blank no less, she can break walnuts over my head with ease. She is also a master in the art of organising and finding great flight/hostel/car rental deals over the interweb. Competitions beware as she wins many, and will readily kill to enter a survey or two.

Pet hates – pets except llamas, any kind of driving and being poked. And DO NOT call her the D***F, otherwise the fists of fury will rain hell fire on your candy ass.

Pet loves – sleeping, diet coke, Tae-Bo, Charlton Athletic FC (Boo!) and seeing the world

Strengths – fists of fury, good looks

Weaknesses – wine, a fury blanket that makes her sleep instantly and generally being a meek girl.

The Plan

Hello!

This is Sarah and Geof’s travel blog. Hopefully it should give you some insight as to how we are progressing around the world. We (well… I more probably) intend to update it whenever we internet inclined, which in this day and age is nearly everywhere.

We have set up two sites for this trip. One of which is the family edition – clean cut and work friendly. Something to show your Nan, (Hi Nan! I’ll see you at Christmas!), with words like ‘gumption’, ‘teetotal’, ‘flip-flop’ and ‘vestibule’ will rule and words like ‘F**K’, ‘N**s’, ‘Crev**e’ and ‘Dwarf’ will be relegated to the other site… the more creative and artistic site. Please choose between them at your peril, but they should be populated with the same basic stuff.

So enjoy and feel free to add us to your favourites, RSS feeds, leave comments and in general seethe jealously at our trip.

P.S. Sarah hasn’t seen this yet so she will post something when she finds out about it.
