    Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 7 October 2009

    Last night I had an epic pool session with a chap from Suffolk. We’d had one the night before until 3 in the morning (powered by 9 pints on my side) and I’d been pipped 6-5. This time round I found myself 4-0 down so took a little break to give myself a one on [...]

  16. Home and Away

    Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 6 October 2009

    After last night’s hi-jinx I feel a tad groggy. I declare I will actually see Sofia today though. Now I don’t mean this in a horrible way, but strewth I’m getting sick of Aussies (despite meeting plenty of them that I like). The number of them travelling is just ludicrous. I reckon it’s a stealth invasion [...]

There was a joint discussion on SEO, I explained the Blogsherpa program to him and he TEFL to me. TEFL is something [...]

    Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 4 October 2009

    Disaster, the ISP the hostel uses is bobbins and the connection is still down. I haven’t found an open hotspot anywhere else either, not even in Smacky D’s. I feel so isolated! In other news I managed to crack my nose on the taxi door frame last night while getting my bag out in the dark [...]

  20. Istanbul, Istanbul I am coming

    Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 29 September 2009

    I’ve had a proper lazy morning just dicking about on the internet in preparation for tonight’s overnight bus to Istanbul. I was considering a trek that’s at least a 10k round trip into the hills to a monastery, but it’s supposed to be pretty difficult to find the trail and I basically can’t be arsed. [...]

    Well another bobbins night’s sleep, pretty much a repeat of the previous night. Is so frustrating, which in turn probably makes it harder to sleep. Vicious circle, round and round (Vic Reeves used to say that on Shooting Stars but I can’t find a link to prove it). I’m perking up a bit today even with [...]

    I think I’m going to stay 2 nights extra than planned here and then head to Istanbul on Tuesday night rather than Sunday. The main reason being is that I’m ruddy knackered and need somewhere nice to recuperate and this place fits the bill. Last night I went to bed at 1 but didn’t get to [...]
