I ended up having to take my injured feet to hospital. The burst blistered got a bit infected and started to smell bad (worse than just feet that is), so I went and had the sorted by the hospital. Looking much better now. Just been trawling though my old machine (now my parents machine) and [...]
And so begins the final stretch – the last leg – the run for home. Luckily my ticket to newcastle was accepted – so I get to do the first bit of the journey 1st class, with wireless access (currently reading up on the spontanius combusting gummy bear – myth or terrorfying reality) – have [...]

Antoher day, another art gallery. I cant say that I know a damned thing about art, classical or modern. I’ve had no lessons, read no book, listerned to very little discussion on the facts, but I have now visited numerous famous galleries around the world, and maybe its just that some of them do what [...]
The Stannon Island ferry is brilliant. Its free (appealing to the tight git in me), it sails past the statue, which is actually quite beutiful. Its funny, I thought it would be quite cheesy, but it was actually quite pretty. Its a nice shade of green too. I took a fairly roundabout route to get [...]
Telling it like it is… “Oliver likes to communicate expressively in e-mails so although this keeps an air of realism in the team, he may need to reword this if mails are likely to be forwarded to client staff.” aka “This man tells it like it is, and does not tollerate bullshit.

I have never had what anybody would describe as pretty feet. In fact my uncle once telling me “you have ugly feet boy!” in a manner that was far less Dickensien than that sounds when I write it down (he was at this point so far from sober that it was unreal – I had [...]
The US has many things to recomend it. I love their enthusiasm. They’re wonderfully polite all the time. They have national pride (damn it there are so many flags it is unbelieveable).
