Here we have it: the end to my year review – admittedly a trifle behind schedule (evidently I’m far too busy and important), seeing as we are now well into 2013. How’s it going, by the way? You having a good one? In this post I will quickly be reviewing my September-December 2012. I intend […]

Part one, covering January-April can be found here: 012 – Riots, nuns and Nigerian hookers: My year in review (January-April 2012) May May 2012 was a real funfest for me.  Indeed, to save typing, I took a photo that conveniently sums up my May. Have a gawk: Note the occasional smiley face along with the words […]

Welcome to part one of my fun-filled, photo-tastic, glorious review of all things 2012. OK, not “all things” as such; you’ll find no reviews of the latest music, films or political events here. No, I’m far too self-centred for that. This post is all about MY 2012. Enjoy… So, my favourite number is 12. As […]

OK, so two weeks ago I began the long-awaited story about my psychopathic housemate. It’s time to continue our nostalgic voyage down memory lane. You can find part one of this post here: 010 – My psychopathic flatmate…Part 1 So, when we left the story last time, I had just returned to my flat to […]

Howdy folks, In my last English post, (some four weeks ago now…oh how I have succumbed to sloth) I detailed the downright depressing affair that is: searching for accommodation in Rennes. By the start of October, however, things had begun to look up. I had moved into a fantastic studio designated for personnel of the […]

Hola a todos, Empezando este blog para documentar las experiencias vividas durante mi segunda estancia larga en el extranjero, tenía la intención de redactar la mitad en inglés y la mitad en español, para que sea más accesible a una audiencia hispana, dado mis numerosos contactos en México. Ojalá algunas de mis historias les serán […]

As some of you will know, finding accommodation abroad can be the biggest headache of them all. Not only is it imperative for one’s mental well-being to have affordable, well-located lodgings where one can sleep, leave one’s stuff and generally feel at ease, it also happens to be a complete fucking nightmare to do. Lamentably, […]

Howdy folks, So as predicted, as the weeks go by, I become worse and worse at maintaining an online blog. Firstly, sincere apologies to my dedicated readership (mum) for this recent lag in blog-related activity. It would be agreeable to claim that it this is due to some sort of crazily-busy lifestyle filled with exotic […]

Hello chaps, So for some reason, cheese scares me. Subsequently, as a long-term sufferer of fromagophobia (the Greeks shared my affliction and named it so), I have, over the years, found myself having numerous close encounters of the churned kind. Not churned like butter, but churned as in my stomach at the thought of congesting […]

Howdy chicos und meninas, So unless you’ve managed to avoid any sort of contact with me and my Facebook profile for the past couple of years (you lucky thing, you), you will already be aware that in 2010 I ventured out to live for a year in the land of cacti, fiestas and tequila, also […]
