In Asda at Tilbury

In Asda at Tilbury at Asda in Tilbury, Essex, England. One steps through a dog end fag butted foot bath by the electronic sliding doors into a vaped haze decompression chamber. Here the multi~ national grocer must take note in an on~time~food~chain~management kind of way the difference between instrumentation and orchestration how cauliflowers ploughed back into...
I've grown up with America... I guess we all have. I remember Super Hero comics fresh from the indoor market stall in my birth town of Glossop, or from a local newsagent during our regular holidays in Blackpool. That sweet 'bubble gum' smell... I always loved the mysterious adverts...

Having spent every other day for the last four weeks in the gym I assumed that I would be ready for a hike up the highest mountain in England & Wales. Imagine then my dismay as I was passed by people cycling up the steep slopes and others at least...
I had finished the ’50 Shades trilogy’ and was now on the train to Budapest reading ‘Monday to Friday man’.  Bit of a pithy holiday read but it passed the time.  I had downloaded a good book on Hitler by Ian Kershaw, on the recommendation of Mike from the...
There is a big note in my journal which says the following: NEVER EVER EVER IGNORE A NOTICE ON A WEBSITE THAT RECOMMENDS SEAT RESERVATION ON A TRAIN. I got the 10.45 train from Berlin to Prague, EC175, and it was packed. The train was long but it seemed like...
