The Love Police: How to Escape a TERROR STOP (1 of 2)

YouTube – The Love Police: How to Escape a TERROR STOP (1 of 2).

Definitely one of the most interesting videos by these guys.  It goes to show you that often the supposed restrictions that we are told we have to follow, are not quite as they seem.  Here we see how Charlie, armed with some [...]

The Big Trip II

Well that didn’t take long.  After being back in the UK for about a year and a half, Michaela and I have decided to embark on another world tour.  The plan was for us to come back to London and to settle down, or at least to come up with a plan to settle down [...]

Downsizing

We’ve downsized a lot. Living out of a backpack for so long, we found that most of the stuff that we had unpacked from storage was completely unnecessary.   Old clothes and random nick-nacks went to the charity shop.  Out went our TV, DVD player and stereo; all of which were replaced with our laptop [...]

Money & Passports

My website got hacked the other day.  Instead of the usual front page there was a constant scrolling of words in an multitude of different languages. I’ve no idea what it said.  I’d like to think that I’m so unpopular or controversial that some big scary hacker actually took the time to deface my site, [...]

Back to Reality?

I suppose I should tell you a little bit about our big return to London.  Actually, let me start by recounting our exit from India. As you know, Michaela spent a few weeks in Austria, and I in Canada before we reunited in London.  As Michaela isn’t writing this, I you’ll have to make due [...]
