I had a radio interview with BC York today. I’ve done one every week for the past three. I just talk about the trials and tribulations I’ve faced that week and talk daft about Dot’s health and mine too. The last two have gone ok, not amazing, but ok.
Today’s though was terrible. I was just [...]

Midnight Run

I got up yesterday expecting an email from a man who I thought could sort my insurance out. At 9am it wasn’t there, nor at 10am or 11. I was sick of sitting around waiting, I had itchy feet, a scratchy bum, I had to do something ’cause i would have pulled out whatever hair [...]

Well pull my nob and feed it to the ladyboys, we’ve made it Thailand!!!
But crikey it was tough. Punctues, monsoon rain, stiff-lipped border officials  and a town where in every house lived a whore. Or so it seemed.
The day started in Cameron Islands, a place described quite accurately by my good friend Laura as being [...]

… sadly not in the Austrian girl’s bra, but hiding amongst my socks and pants beneath the hostel bed. Idiot.
 
All good to go then. It’s raining now so in the morning me and Dot are going to hit the road and pick a dirction. North, East, West or South. We’re not sure yet whether to see more [...]

Lost not found

I’ve lost many things so far on this trip. 
A tripod left behind when I stopped to do a handstand on a bridge, a glove which I took off whilst riding just so I didn’t have to stop and unscrew the top off my water bottle which is also now lost. As is the top from the second water [...]

Goodnight

Laid on my bed in a hostel in Penang, a strange woman from Korea’s just checked into the bed next door and the light’s are about to go out. I’m tired and my bowels are still a bit grumbly, hopefully they’ll last the night. If not I guess I’ll just shit myself.
See you in the [...]

What a nice man

Well I’ll be darned,
I’ve just taken my bike to a local mechanic who the baker next door recommended and not only did he look Dot up and down suitable impressed, but he also lifted her blouse and tickled her gently until she was in good health. And for that he wouldn’t charge me a penny.
