So here it is, my 200th post. I guess it is a milestone of sorts…getting me to write 200 (semi) coherent things in less than two years…quite the achievment really when I think about it. I guess my teachers were right after all Not that I am prepared to find them and admit that, [...]
Photo by Xosé CastroI don’t know if I can say that I am completely suffering from writers block right now…writers malais possibly, writers half a job definitely…the problem I have is that I have ideas…see things, hear things that would normally dump me in front of my PC for a decent writing session.

There is a conspiracy in Germany that Bielefeld does not exist. There are even Wikipedia entries about it. So, for any Germans reading this, it may surprise you to know that I have actually been there, eaten food and drank various soft beverages there and in fact was arrested in that veritable Bermuda Triangle of [...]

I believe I [...]
So, whilst SPs decline from the dizzy heights of casanovadom continues at a rapid rate of knots….he does still have his moments.

The location:Â Daves living room (AKA the Anglo Irish)
Those present:Â SP, GF and a random American Marine
Details are sketchy as to how [...]
