From an Englishmen in Poland – and living quite close to one of the stadiums, well, it seems the answer is, er, nope. When I think about the Euros and being a host country there are a couple of things that stand out for me straight away…
Teaching Business n Teaching little shits.
Last Thursday I had the most amazing night….and Thursday’s I’m normally dead. For some nightmare reason I teach non stop on a Thursday, literally, I’m in the same room with zero break and just lesson after lesson till late at night. It’s blooming difficult but, well, whatever. But last Thursday changed my mind, or at … Continue reading »
The Favourite Cheese
I’ll carry on with my EU and British Tax Payer scam another day..as well as my experience of Poland thus far. Must stress again, not all companies are like that, this relates to one highish profile piece of shit called Biznes Lingua (feel free to contact your MEP and the British Council to explore for … Continue reading »
Oh…I should talk about Poland
The blog kinda went on the back burner for a whilst as I was sorting shizzle out here. I’m not sure whether to do 10 different mini entries or one big fook off long one. Anyways, lets just crack on, type, and see where this post ends up. In a nutshell I like Poland ( … Continue reading »
My most viewed tweet of 2011
A few minutes after the Royal Wedding I posted a picture. Saying “I knew the doctor wouldn’t miss this”. I lost count of it’s retweets but the initial picture had 1, 395 views…which was nice. Being a Dr Who fan and a Royalist, well, it kinda made sense..
The blog is back (as am I)
Well, the blog is back 2012….a whole new year and all that. Indulge me and watch this, as this is how I feel.. I hardly blogged at the backend of last year and for that I apologise. Lets just say 2011 was mental (I can barely look thru the archives of what was going on). … Continue reading »
The blog is coming back…..
…….as is Jonesy. 2012 shall be interesting and exciting in a good way……
End of an era at Loftus Road – Part Three
I’d been offered a job at Diageo promoting Guinness, Smirnoff, Gordons and other brands so had left Virgin. The contract (contra deal) with QPR had started to go massively tits up – partly as I was promoted to run a new Virgin gym that we’d opened (and thus couldnt oversee the QPR deal and me … Continue reading »
End of an era at Loftus Road – Part Two
For those that know me, don’t be shocked….fair play to Power and Devlin. Gun incident and online war aside (more of that later). I genuinely salute them for what they tried to do for our club at least initially. Especially BP. He obviously didn’t have the finances to keep QPR going, let alone move us … Continue reading »
End of an era at Loftus Road – Part One
So, Gianni has finally left Loftus Road and well his tenor has certainly divided the QPR fan base. For fans that regularly use the QPR message-boards his departure was welcomed with a fair bit of “thank fuck for that”. I’ve always argued that message-boards aren’t used by all fans, let alone the majority of fans so they can probably be viewed … Continue reading »
Gianni and me #QPR The other side of the story
After Gianni Paladini’s (eventual) official exit from QPR I decided that maybe it was time to put aside a real insiders story. I’m not bigging myself up by saying “insider”, GP turned out to be a good friend, but with all of the rumours (more of those later) about the man and his online influence…his … Continue reading »
Slovakia – An Englishman’s Perspective!
As my days left in Slovakia come to an end I thought I’d pen a few observations about the country and the people. Let’s call them “Jonesy’s tips on Slovensko“. For any Slovakian friends I’ve met or taught that have found this blog…well..try not to be offended! I genuinely enjoyed my few months here and … Continue reading »
Au Revoir Slovakia…Moving to Poland!
Ever heard of Opole? In Poland? Nah me neither until a few weeks ago. It’s famous for er, being “The Capital of Polish Music”…yeah that scares the shit out of me as well. Oh and it’s famous for having a fair few Germans living there. Now I say a fair few…it’s an ickle ickle minority … Continue reading »
Fed up of fighting, fed up of thinking…
Hello, wonder if you can help? See, I had this amazing thing called my “mojo”, it has had a habit over the last 8 months of disappearing and the fucker has done it again. It looks like a positive, bouncy, kinda thing, I reckon something like a space hopper. Anyways, I can’t pay you a … Continue reading »
#londonriots cutting thru the bullshit
There’s zero fucking way for me to try and write this in a few tweets so I thought I’d blog about it. What happened last night was organised via BBM – Blackberry’s. Not fucking twitter and not fucking facebook. Yes some idiots did use both t and fb but, the vast vast majority of organising … Continue reading »
Getting ridiculously lost in three countries
So, here was the plan… Not far from Zilina you can go to a place called Trojmezi (or something like that). It’s a landmark of sorts where you can basically be in three countries at once, it’s where the border’s of the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland all meet. Heck to me it sounded pretty … Continue reading »
Fantasy Football & Other Shizzle
Right, I’ve done it. I’ve created my fantasy footy team. Again. I say again as I do this every frigging year…and then forget about it. My history with fantasy footy teams over the last few years has followed the same, simple, predictable steps… Get invited to join a “mini-league” Spend ages working out my team … Continue reading »
Q.P.R Fans Statement (via blogandwhitehoops)
Hope this addresses how QPR fans feel about the disgusting price increases that all fans (home and away) are having to endure We the Q.P.R fans wish to respond to the recent allegations in the press that our club is being run by two mercenary crooks and their yapping Italian lapdog by agreeing with you and distancing ourselves from these … Continue reading »
“Existing” is not enough for me
Birth, childhood, youth, jobs, careers, failed relationships, working relationships, marriage, kids, updating your facebook talking about your baby, getting old, getting older, more kids, middle age, career change, getting older…to me it’s all “existing”. Guess I’ve never really followed the “norm”; don’t get me wrong, I nearly did, fuck, I was with a girl for … Continue reading »
Shattered in Slovakia….
Meant to do an update to my part one ages ago but well, was in too much of a bad mood if I’m honest…so decided to wait until I’d had a bit of a break. But, well, that ain’t quite happened as of yet. So, yeah, this shit ain’t easy..living on dust..cracking on and all … Continue reading »
