A number of my closest friends and I were recently invited to a party. It was billed as a “Wear a Fancy Dress” party. I am always up for one of these and they are becoming increasingly popular in that London. We all trotted off to a pub on the South Bank, called the Founders […]
The crazies were out in force this morning. The filthy, smelly, spit-covered Whitechapel streets were being patrolled by the mental and the drunk. It is often frightening. There were tribes of disgusting, ugly men and women sprawled all over the pavements, lying in their own sick and screaming at the world.

Canoe death scam couple, John and Anne Darwin, have been jailed for more than six years and have had their assets frozen in an attempt to recover £250,000 they conned out of insurance firms. It was deception on a grand scale. I too have been party to a despicable deception.

Walking down Whitechapel High Street recently I saw an unusual altercation outside the Citroen dealership, the one next to the East London Mosque. There was an incident involving a woman and a street cleaner, a career position now referred to as a ‘Visual Urban Hygiene Technician’. The man with the brush was a filthy looking […]
Is it not amazing the words of wisdom one can hear in a supermarket? At the weekend I was doing my weekly shop at Sainsbury’s in Whitechapel, choosing my fruit and alcohol for the week – what else can you possibly need?
I noticed a rather gnarly chipper old fellow intensely examining the store’s bananas. He […]
If anybody received an email from me this weekend I can only apologise. I was rather inebriated and was unaware of my unacceptable immature behaviour.
If you see me in your inbox then please immediately press the delete button. I knew not what I was doing, the evil boozy brain had taken over and my disconnected […]
