As you’ll see from my site, I’ve been here, there and everywhere…but only because I’ve spent bugger-all in doing it.
If you’re happy to scour the internet for airline deals, travel midweek and stay in fleapit hotels (in the seedier areas of town) then you can go anywhere you like. Just make sure you take earplugs, a stab vest and plenty of antibiotics.
I’ve also written humorous books about art and health. For practical reasons, one of which being that I can’t get a bank account, the books have to be published in someone else’s name. This is one of the many benefits of identity-theft. I also get to drive his car and live with his wife. I’m surprised he hasn’t rumbled what I’m up to yet.
This website is mostly about my travels to various places. Some of these visits have only been brief, but a low level of knowledge on any subject has never stopped me from having a strong opinion on it. As a wise man once said, ‘It is better to open your mouth and let forth a torrent of empty-headed nonsense than have the sense to keep quiet’….or something like that.
Anyway, there’s lots of nonsense, and a good squirt of bile, in this website. So I do apologise if you live in any of the places I’ve visited and you take offence to what I say about them.
The travel pictures are all mine. When it came to picture choice, which is only a few per place, this presented a conundrum. Should I really be trying to show what the place is all about in just a couple of images? So here’s another apology: I’m sure your city or town has wonderful parks, magnificent public spaces and stunning architecture but please don’t take it personally if I choose to accompany my article about your beautiful place with a picture of a dog-turd with a lolly-stick in it*
* Actually, there is no picture of a dog-turd with a lolly-stick in it. You just don’t see them anymore. I blame the kids of today. When I was a child, sticking lolly-sticks in dog-turds was good wholesome fun…although I’d probably have preferred a Sony PlayStation, if they’d been around back then.
