Week 2Day 8: Saturday 19th October
Hayday: Bit of a late start to the day as we had stayed up watching ‘Usual Suspects’ last night. Truly brilliant film although all I heard throughout it was “where is Phil Collins”….“Why did they not use Phil’s music”. This bloody obsession.
Lanky: Hey he won an Oscar for his soundtrack to Tarzan and his performance in Hook was quite incredible so don’t knock him. We shouldn’t forget that at the age of five he was given a toy drum-kit and learnt drumming to the radio and TV. He’s never learnt to read or write conventional musical notation. Instead he’s devised his own system. His own system! For pity’s sake can you not see the man’s a virtuoso; a latter-day wizard?
Hayday: We got the boat across and headed for an island called Hule-Male – the new Male. A few clouds came over but in that usual British like way we jumped into the sea and started chucking the rugby ball around. A few droplets of rain came down but there was nothing significant. When we got back to Male we decided to go to the artificial beach near our hotel and chuck the rugby ball around – you have probably guessed that the ball has become our new best friend. As ever we were joined by the youth of Male although things got a little heated at one point. Lanky who was hungry at this time was getting agitated at a wee boy that kept howling at him ‘Heeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyy ENNNGGGLIIIIIIIIIIISSSSH’ for the ball – you could see in Tom’s eyes that he just wanted to lay this kid out – but thankfully reverted to throwing the ball at this kids head at about 100mph! I just looked on bewildered and thought ‘is this really the future of the NHS’!!!!!!
Lanky: Uh yes it is. Sometimes you have to be firm but fair (like the Russian police). That pesky little runt was seriously vexing me. Couldn’t throw either, the chump.

Just want to point out that the futre of the NHS is, in fact, here in Antigua. If you're in any doubt ask Sally.
Hayday: Why Baldwin? Are you doing a mass recruitment drive over there?
hehe.
Rugby with Maldivians . And that is also with kids. I can imagine.
