This past Saturday, only my third day off in March, was spent doing something very useful and compelling. I took part in my very first protest, attending the Unite for Europe march in London.

As advised by lupestripe I hooked up with a local group of Scousers who were travelling down to the capital by bus. Together we enjoyed several hours of travelling and ( Read more... )

July 3rd, 2016, marks the sixth year I've spent living in Britain. Comparing things from 2010 to how they are now, I can tell this was a different country, even though only six years have passed ( Read more... )

Croco's been a helpful snapper lately! One of my old school chums decided he wants to move back to the UK so upon his arrival helped him find a place to rent nearby, in Runcorn.

It's been two weeks of living in Liverpool at the heart of the People's Republic of Scouseland. I can say it's been very tiring but more or less enjoyable to be moving in here, with Xolani ( Read more... )

It's the gasman. Hello, I wonder if I could just read your meter. It's the gasman. Yes, hello. Hello, Mister Gasman! It's the gasman. Hello, I wonder if I could just read your meter. It's the gasman. Yes, hello. Hello, Mister Gasman!

For those of you who are unaware this is two things that the British are fucking awesome at: music and comedy. In ( Read more... )

Been having much more experience with NHS lately, including one surgical procedure on the ulnar nerve in my right elbow. Having been in and out of the hospital for the last several weeks, I've made a few observations and fuck, all I can do is heap praise on this organization ( Read more... )
