  2. Lions and tigers and bears, oh my!

    Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 3 May 2009

    I’ve had quite a productive day today. We went to San Diego Zoo which was ace, on par with Chester (and the one in France Nimrod, what’s the name?) even! The highlights were seeing real live pandas and watching the tigers play. After that we got the bus over to the beach which looked pretty cool [...]

  3. Stars, Stripes and… Bubbles.

    Blog: one more left and i'll be on the right side - 30 April 2009

    This shot was taken on Mardi Gras Day 2009 in NOLA. The flag is mounted on a Royal St hotel and the bubbles in the background spewed from a machine all day long. The Star Spangled Banner can be seen everywhere in the USA. Driving down a highway you reguarly see huge mastheads that carry the [...]

  4. Keep the change ya filthy animal!

    Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 18 April 2009

    Last night on Bourbon Street I overheard the beginnings of a conversation between 2 blokes. Geezer number 1 “Hey Judd”, geezer number 2 “Yah”.

    Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 16 April 2009

    I’ve had a few chats with a good Australian fella in the bunk above the past couple of days. There is even the possibility of him putting me on to some work if I’m ever in Perth, which I may well be in the not so distant future. Tech update: I’ve binned off the Fring iPhone [...]

  6. Greater Manchester

    Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 15 April 2009

    I watched some mad nightly show on TV last night (the Colbert show I think) and this guy is America’s answer to Alan Partridge (KMKY era), acerama man. I’ve wasted most of today really, didn’t get up until about 11 and then dicked about sorting emails and stuff. A shower, shave and 2 bowls of Cheerios [...]

  7. O Katrina

    Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 14 April 2009

    Since I’ve been in New Orleans I’ve not been able to get that Black Lips song out of my head, good thing it’s an ace tune eh. A guy from Leigh (though he said he was from Manchester, incorrect my friend) traded me 2 beers for the use of my Skype this morning, I’d have [...]

  8. Down, down, deeper and down

    Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 12 April 2009

    It may be some time before I get to publish this particular blog post but rather than give an anguished and laboured retrospective, I’m going to give an anguished and laboured blow by blow account of the joys of Greyhound as it happens. It’s going to be a long one you lucky bleeders, I [...]
