I have to admit that the older I get, the more hazy and faded my memory gets, so I’ll make this report as basic and true as I can remember. It was October 2007 (ignore the date on the photo above – I just thought that photo was a good way to start the report Read more about BRISTOL ROVERS AWAY – PART 1 – “If we win at Crewe, I’ll drive us to Bristol” *[…]
Living in Tasmania it’s not an exaggeration to say you see as many animals as you do people. Another of my cauliflower farm stints was a day working out at Sharman Farm in Kindred. Where? Yes, I had no idea where Kindred was either until I was asked to work there, as was what happened Read more about Working Wednesdays: Cauliflower Harvesting at Sharman Farm, Kindred, Tasmania[…]
Cramming so many things into my adventures means I often cut things short, without wanting to. I had to say farewell to Botswana on my third day. I had basically only decided to go there as I was staying in the north part of South Africa so close to the border that it would Read more about Waiting For Grace At Park Station: Gaborone🇧🇼to Johannesburg🇿🇦[…]
I’m surprised its taken me this long to actually do a full post on the Manic Street Preachers, probably my second favourite band of all time (behind Oasis). I’ve been lucky enough to see them 5 times (in 4 different countries) and own all their albums and most of their singles. Unlike Oasis, they take Read more about Rock and Roll Bands: Manic Street Preachers[…]
I make a habit of ending up in Irish Pubs around the Globe, they will start appearing on separate posts on here now too. Some people hate them, some people love them. But from having travelled to over 60 countries, I can safely say they are always the most welcoming, best decorated, most enjoyable and Read more about Paddy Flaherty’s, Cusco, Peru: The Highest Irish OWNED Pub In The World[…]
Manic Street Preachers first came into my ears about 20 years ago, in 1992 when on a chance radio listen, I was enthused by their hit single “Suicide Is Painless” (Theme From M.A.S.H.). At the time I didn’t realise it was a cover version, nor knew anything about this band. As the 90s progressed I Read more about Manic Street Preachers – International Treasures: Tokyo, Japan🗾🇯🇵18.05.2012[…]
The end had come at Edgar Street and we headed away from the stadium and back to our cars. There was no “Hurrah, a final match victory for Ulster Cherry”. There was no “post match pint for old time’s sake”. There was no “golden dream”. Whatever dreams I had when arriving in Bournemouth in 2003 Read more about Hereford Road Trip – Part 9 – The Finale – The End of The Road…*[…]
So to the match itself then. The whole point of the day trip in reality, we were after all “only HERE FOR Da football” and to meet a new friend, who goes by the name of Edgar. Edgar is old and worn, but vibrant and welcoming. It’s neither a he or a she, it’s an Read more about Hereford Road Trip – Part 8 – We’re Only HERE FOR Da Football!![…]
We parked near the centre of Hereford but in a slightly different area than before. We were looking for a poky old English pub with a pool table. And we found it in The Treacle Mine. They had pool so a few games were in order. Ironically the following Tuesday night I’d be playing again Read more about Hereford Road Trip – Part 7 – The Treacle Mine, Oxford Arms and Pre Match *[…]
