A BRIT of a Let Down

April 7, 2015

The year is 1996. At the annual Brit Awards ceremony, in the midst of an impassioned, sweaty and climatic performance of his ethical anthem Earth Song, the King of Pop himself was rudely interrupted mid crotch-grab by none other than Jarvis Cocker’s gleamingly white arse, mooning him from the front of the stage.

The Sumo Run

November 10, 2014

With Channel 4’s Stand Up To Cancer dominating its output in a glitzy ball of innuendo, stand-up smorgasbords and an unhealthy amount of Alan Carr, and BBC’s Children in Need coverage acting its usual thinly veiled excuse for further inflating countless TV-personalities, the spirit of philanthropy is tangibly in the air.This tidal wave of good-will has got me a-reminiscin’ about my own experience of working in the formidable Third Sector.

TEN-DAY THAILAND: CAN I STILL BACKPACK AT 26? (PART 2)
February 10, 2018

The one glaring difference between the nature of my backpacking adventures of yore, and this trip (aside from its duration), was the fact that this time I would be accompanied by an experienced resident of the country in question. This, in my head at least, would mean we could swan about unchecked and fancy-free, chatting, laughing and generally endearing ourselves to locals wherever we set foot, employing a combination of Rachel's insider knowledge and Thai linguistic skills, and my.... general presence.

The bus to Krakow was, thankfully, a lot less eventful than its predecessors, involving only a bizarre communal film and several hours of roadworks.

Born from a heady mixture of climate consciousness and self-castigation, two weeks ago myself and my good friend Tasha found ourselves at Victoria Coach Station, waiting to catch a bus to Krakow, Poland.

I know right.
