In [insert institution/person/fictitious super-being here] we trust
I'll try to keep this short - not least because after so long writing nuffink, I'm not sure I have the energy to blather on - but I must ask you to dwell awhile on what I'm banging on about. The concept of trust has always been very dear to me, probably because my...

22:18 – Esslingen, Germany
The World's Gone Crazy But I Can't Get Off Amazingly, here in the middle of Germany, no one appears to be interested in the opening ceremony of the Monopolympics. Bloody marvelous. I bet there's a lot of Brits who spend much of their lives bemoaning the fact that the...
