Well, I really dunno where to start this blog post. I’m like someone with a split personality disorder tonight..dunno if I should laugh or cry right now..probably both I suppose. It’s like my situation is a zillion times better for so many reasons right now but in fairness is that just distracting from the fact I’m kinda … Continue reading »
I’m having a beer. Now, for a homeless dude who’s trekked to the old USSR with zero cash, just a bag full of clothes and a shed load of balls (or a mental disorder) that may sound strange. But it’s not, well, not here anyway. See in Slovakia, beer is cheaper than virtually everything else. … Continue reading »
Well, I need some cash and some legal ideas of how to get it. Let me explain the legal bit of that… See, life is never straight forward with me so let me tell you about a girl I recently met. She doesn’t do facebook or twitter or blogging or whatever so, heck, I can … Continue reading »
It’s amazing what you can fit into one case Well, I say case, I just managed to fit 90% of my life into one big ol’ Guinness holdall. And to be honest I found it bloody liberating. See, it’s not the first time in the last six months that I’ve had to have a bit of a … Continue reading »

Well, here’s an experiment in “Social Capital”. As long time readers of this blog know I’m now in a situation where I’m both homeless and jobless (book writing aside) I’m busting my backside to find a job, any fucking job, which has accommodation included. I’m doubtful that there’s a pub in London that hasn’t seen … Continue reading »
Provocative title, well yes, but hopefully it’s thought provoking. I’m not massively into conspiracies but, in a nutshell, I’m becoming a little bit concerned about what, or who, is/are behind the uprisings that we’re seeing across the middle east and africa. Where did they start, how did they start and who started them? Telling for me has … Continue reading »
