From Cherry
Hello there, your pictures are amazing Matt and your tales always bring laughter to all the girls in work who egerly await the next installment even tho they dont know you, however they feel they know you now!! ( i have explained it would take a lifetime to understand you ha ha) can't believe you will be back in a few short weeks it feels like its been forever, can't wait to squeeze your cheeks and check your in one piece. The spare room awaits if its needed. x x x
Response: Hey there Cher,
Thanks for the message. Glad you like the photos and glad I can amuse your colleagues with my tales of stupidity. You know I'm a simple soul really :)
Yep, two weeks and it's all over. Back to reality and all that. Hope the sun is still shining cause it's not on the cook Islands!!
Looking forward to seeing you too and will let you know about the spare room.
Take care.

Yeah yeah yeah, your photos are awesome, but hang on - how long is your hair??? You knows you loves it...
Not saying a word about the pink helmet, speaks for itself!
Enjoy the chill out in Fiji boyo and come home safe.
Lots of love, KC xxx
Response: Hair is boardering on ridiculous. Will have a trim before the return. I actually requested the full pink outfit but that was being dry cleaned. See you soon KC. x

Response: Hello mate,
Jees you're up early. Getting some rehearsal time in eh? I certainly do remember it. A great night. Wish I was dancing tonight if I'm honest. Miss the classes big time, not too long and I can get going again. Thanks for getting in touch. See you soon and best of luck for tonight.
From Rohan & Jo
Hello mate, dont know if you remember us. We were friends of Westy and Shimmy and met you in Sydney in Xmas and new years. Just stumbled across your page as you have a photo on the front page of this website. Glad your having a quality time, we loved NZ. Have a brilliant time wherever you go next. Take Care, Rohan and Jo
Response: Hey Guys,
Really good to hear from you and of course I remember you. How could you forget the people you spent the weirdest Xmas day of your life with. Hope you're both well and thanks again for getting in touch. Matt

Response: Hey Renne,
Sorry I've not been in touch much recently. Obviously having way to much fun :) Been hearing all about the hot weather at home which I must say am slightly jealous of as sit here in my layers. Off to Fiji on Sunday so that should do the trick. Speak soon. Matt x
From CC
Man that is soo cool that u got on the home page of planet ranger! Sounds like new zealand is proving to be as awesome for u as it was for me. Hows the funds goin? I came home about 4K in debt not to mention the 10k student debt! So all in all I'm poorer than a tramp on the street! Might go out a play a few tunes later down the tube stations, see if anyone will put money in my hat!
Response: Hello Mate,
Good to hear from. Thanks and yeah wil admit I'm pretty chuffed. Been looking at it for the past 8 months thinking 'I wonder if any of my shots will be put on' Just in time I guess as not to long before 'home time' for me as well. Funds??? Probably a subject best avoided...lets just say Vegas seems a long way off right now. Let me know how the busking goes and I may come join up.. I could be your dancer :) Take it steady mate.
From Chimpo

Hope you didn't dirty your pants too much on the bungy jump!!!! Keep up the good work on the website, how can you and Dan be bothered doing all of this I find it hard enough to email folk! Say hi to Dan! Anyway take care my buddies! Luv ya, Sharon xxxx
Response: Hey Sharon, Thanks for the message. I guess me and Dan really are getting old and spend way too much of our time in internet cafe's , who knows! Bungy was... (still trying to think of ways to explain it) Unreal. Will get the pics out soon and I think Dan is gonna put the video's on his site. Take care. Matt x
From KC
Different leeeeeague on the bar & grill although "KC's ice cream & malteser parlour" might've been more appropriate...
Good on ya boyo, still living the dream...Mucho jealous, as always, but loving the running commentary! All's fine here. Enjoying a bit of peace after the last few months and in preparation for the birthday-week :)
Take care darling and put on some piccies of the big jumps (plural, Matthew!) when you get the chance.
Lots of love, Matty J.
