Things I have learnt about my traveling companions in the first week of CMJJJ

Isn't it amazing? You think you know someone so well and then you spend a little time crammed into a go-kart and all of a sudden little things start to show...

Lets start with Julia/Gulia/'baby come Bach' - Turns out that our mother hen is a bit of a spas when it comes to having to keep hold of thing, catch things, move things and generally in situations when some semblance of spatial awareness is required. I have never witnessed such poor hand-eye coordination in my days, brilliant!
Julia is a delight when it comes to interaction with real people. For example, she called a lady "ma'am" the other day. No problem you would think so long as that lady was elderly and deserved of such formal status. This lady was about 25 and making coffee in a backpackers kitchen. No wonder she was pissed off. Ah Julia.

Interesting fact about Julia: She has broken both arms during a push up challenge.

On to Ciara/OD/Irish/SPEEDBUMP! - Who knew she was actually a lesbian?!!!!! And she punches like a Minotaur and there is an end to her tether after all. She hates to be called "princess". LOL.

Interesting fact about Ciara: Ciara, as we know, has a very small head which got lost somewhere in her helmet during rafting, but as a baby had the same sized noggin and has only just started to grow into it.

Finally on to John/Bray/Monkey Bray/Brazier Krane/Independence Bray/Slaphead - Bray is dad. He likes to be organized and very,very loud. Turns out this is also true when the fucker sleeps. Snoring as a term simply doesn't quite measure the man. He also loses things, but I know you are all sitting back and saying "but James, we always knew that". But I for one had hoped that it was just a phase only to be disappointed. The things John has lost so far: all travel documents including bookings and maps, his phone, his car keys (as I sit here they remain lost), his head torch and his shoes.

Things he has not lost: his phone number to any fit birds.

Bray also has Tourette's, a terrible social-impairing affliction and rather rare which is perhaps why none of us had registered it yet until he bellowed "Sexy Car Fucking Tit" at a fellow Rav driver in Maun who cut us up. We were quite startled.

Interesting fact about John: Has only been skiing once yet has managed to break 5 pieces of ski gear. Plonker.

So that is pretty much it so far.
Bye!
