Hi Kerry,



Thanks for posting this, think I might be able to get near the TV remote, now Graham has no cricket to watch!!





This sounds really interesting





Don%26#39;t suppose you watched Departure Lounge on Friday teatime - they went to NY - meant to record it but we forgot.

Hi Cathy





No I didn%26#39;t know about that, shame.





Is Graham pleased about the Cricket? Ry said the players are all a little tipsy and aren%26#39;t making much sense in TV interviews!





Nice to see a pic of you! x




Kerry,



He is absolutely delighted - after seeing them get thrashed by the Aussies in 2002 (in Perth W.A.) he really enjoyed it, he went to The Oval on Saturday - he watched the highlights of the whole test last night - good job I spend all the time surfing, and like cricket too!





I%26#39;m not surprised they were a little tipsy - think I would be too!





Take care



Cathy




The Departure Lounge piece was about how to avoid jet lag. Basically the presenter arrived in New York but did not change his watch and kept to London bedtimes and breakfast times etc. Therefore he went to bed at about 6pm (NY time) and was getting up and having breakfast at 3/4am (NY time). He saw all the sights by lunchtime and then was just about ready for bed again. Apparently he didn%26#39;t get jet lag but he did feel like %26#39;billy no mates%26#39;. Times Square was errily quiet at 4am but at least he was the first person up ESB.





Don%26#39;t think I will be seeing New York that way!
