About Me

Back in lavverly London after almost a year in the world's most over-rated shitheap – aka Dubai. I'm totally hopeless at just about everything, although I have carved a bit of a niche for myself in the being shite department.Love to travel, love to drink, love to drivel (combination of the two) and have been told by the odd peron that I am not completely intolerable company – as long as I'm in a different room... and asleep. I've lived all over the world, Dubai, Estonia, LA, Mexico, Germany etc so wherever you're from, there's a good chance I've been drunk there.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Absolutely anybody. Apart from serial killers (cereal killers are fine, I hate corn flakes), Man United fans and exploding monkeys.After quite a while in the Americas, three years in London, and almost a year languishing in yuppie-hell, I'm determined to rediscover the delights of Europe, so anyone from there I'd especially happy to natter with. Still no Man United fans though.

My Blog

Work/wank. Same difference

I have had a number of crappy jobs. Crappy pay, crappy conditions, crappy locations and so on and so forth. But the temporary job I am in at the moment beats them all hands down, no questions asked, t...

Bollocks

I didn't think it was possible, but getting dumped by email by your girlfriend living in Ecuador is just as shite as when it happens in person. Although I did find the fact that I couldn't sob and get...

Writer's block

Have been trying to finish off an article for over a week now and am getting absolutely nowhere. Am going through that teenage thing where you do anything else rather than revise before an exam. To da...

Bastard Bertie Mees

How do you lose a set of keys in a one bedroom flat and have been wearing the same pair of jeans for three days? Must be here, because I got in. Can't have dropped them anywhere on tube/bus/cab/cesspi...

Deary me

Have just made the groundbreaking discovery that drinking Jack Daniels from a wine glass that was half-full of Shiraz, whilst in the bath, is not the best of ideas. The place (my flat) is meant to be ...

What's the deal?

I'm sat at work and have had sweet FA to do for the last few hours, just waiting for writers to file copy so I can slap it on a page, edit it and then sod off as sharpish as is humanly possible. Wh...

Falling apart

Having serious doubts as to whether journalism really is the game for me. Desperately trying to think up a headline for a torpor-inducing article about star ratings for social service departments in t...

Post Notting Hill

Never done a blog before. Still not sure what one is, suppose checking out someone else's would have been an idea. Also, think starting a blog the day after swilling gallons of Rum at the Notting Hill...
