Have left London, retired, hurt! Thanks to all the lads who put me up at the Slug in Fulham – I thoroughly enjoyed the fine wine and sophisticated snacks.
London is a strange place full of people wanting to be bankers, and believing that jobs involving photocopying are the best means of achieving it. In Wimbledon […]

The lads eventually made their way onto des Champs Elysées. Nestled some 50 metres from the base of the […]
