Sadly, I had no gold or prostitutes with me.
I’ve just finished a short contract working out in Slough. I was amused to read the following posted on the toilet door:“Please leave these toilets as you would wish to find them.” As the title of this post attests, I was unable to help.

Des nouveaux chevaliers au grand coeur
It seems that the theme tune to Starsky and Hutch was quite different on the other side of the channel. Wacka wacka wacka.

Write On – Part the Second
And it just so happens that my good friend and housemate Nick has written a novel. And posted the first chapter on YouWriteOn. So why not give the man some encouragement and check it out?

Write On – Part the First
The Arts Council of the UK have introduced this new website called YouWriteOn. You can blame them for the lack of spaces. The idea is that up-and-coming prose writers can put up the first three chapters of their novels, where they’ll be read, reviewed, and rated by members of the public. So far so blah. […]
