Since sitting in these resto-bars in Sanur, I have developed a new allergic reaction to cigarette smoke. The smell sets of a tourettes type reaction and I find myself muttering Tw@ and Cvnt, over and over and over. Why do these eejits think it’s ok to pump out that stench when people are eating? IContinue reading “Sanur”

Sunday, back at the Barbarossa.
Barbarossa – I think of Frederick and Hitler… No duck breast today so I went for Barramundi, as I don’t think I’ve ever had it. Most white fish is very bland and I think that is why it is always served with a sauce of some form. I like to cook Rainbow Trout, Salmon andContinue reading “Sunday, back at the Barbarossa.”
It feckin stinks!
Phuket. I am sure I will write about this a lot! They legalised Cannabis in Thailand so the place is filling up with pot heads. That takes me back to my youth when I was a big fan of a band called Gong. They had songs about Pothead Pixies, Flying Teapots and Submarine Captain Capricorn.Continue reading “It feckin stinks!”
Back in Oman
So there goes 8 weeks of summer! 8 weeks in the same hotel – Sanur Seaview Hotel, Sanur, Denprasar, Bali. After 2 weeks I thought I’d made a mistake, as most of the restaurants and bars along the nearby beach were closed by 9.30 pm. Then I walked off the other way and discovered SantoriniContinue reading “Back in Oman”
Angie and the floppy disc.
More recollections; why do the evenings in Bali make me reminisce? I am back at the Paloma bar and the act are playing the classic Rolling Stones song Angie. A flood of memories. Only 16 and just moved into the sixth form and stated going to the pub, not that it was legal. I thinkContinue reading “Angie and the floppy disc.”
Raging in Sanur.
Regrets! It’s a popular idea that, as you get older you regret the things you didn’t do, more than the things you did. I can go with that. These couple of months in Bali have left me in a very reflective mood. And today, Matthew, I am mostly being Mr Angry of no fixed abode!Continue reading “Raging in Sanur.”
Long Playing records
I have no idea why sitting at various bars in Sanur, Bali, is making me recall and review so much of life. Maybe because this candle has almost burned down to the bottom, so I have to get it all on record. Which reminds me of records! I am of the era that grew upContinue reading “Long Playing records”
Blert
Today I watched a short clip on Facebook. It was scousers saying their favourite put-down words. We love the obvious ones – but I won’t use them here… Some of my favourites include calling someone; A Blert A Meff A Melt Ya Wool Soft lad Arlarse Head the Ball A Divvy A Bin Dipper AContinue reading “Blert”
Honda!
Way back in the days of my youth when I was told what it means to be a man… I think it was in the second year of my Applied Physics B.Sc. course at the Lanchester Polytechnic in Coventry. One of the lads went missing for a while. It was not unusual for people toContinue reading “Honda!”
Marcus Aurelius
In the development of my next volume (WIP) Fairy Hanny and the Knights in White Satin, one of the Time Travellers claims to have met Marcus Aurelius. Which reminded me – in his famous collected work Meditations the great stoic philosopher wrote about his bum. ‘Life can be a pain in the arse. In myContinue reading “Marcus Aurelius”
