I feel a bit sorry for Mark Doogue (pronounced ‘dodgy’, presumably), who told his family he was off to Thailand for three months while actually off to jail, then got found out for tsunamical reasons.

Presumably he especially resents the efforts of emergency services to put them in touch: imagine how much of a hero he’d’ve been if he’d been let out then returned saying "oh yeah, I’m alive; hi guys. I haven’t got much of a tan cos I was in hospital for ages, sorry I haven’t been in touch…"
