I just returned from being away in Italy for 6 months so will have a few stories about that to come on the website soon. I went overland there and back from Scotland too, so the first story I will put up [in about 30 minutes] is about the journey.
I have previously been to quite a few places and this old song is [almost] still true…
I've Never met A Nice South African - sung by Spitting Image I've travelled this old world of ours from Barnsley to Peru I've had sunshine in the arctic and a swim in Tinbuktu I've seen unicorns in Burma and a Yetti in Nepal And I've danced with ten foot pygmies in a Montezuma hall I've met the King of China and a working Yorkshire miner But I've never met a nice South African. No he's never met a nice South African And that's not bloody surprising man 'Cause we're a bunch of arrogant b***tards Who hate black people I once got served in Woolies aften less than four week's wait I had lunch with Rowan Atkinson when he paid and wasn't late I know a public swimming bath where they don't p1ss in the pool I know a guy who got a job straight after leaving school I've met a normal merman and a fairly modest German But I've never met a nice South African. No he's never met a nice South African And that's not bloody surprising man 'Cause we're a bunch of talentless murderers Who smell like baboons I've had a close encounter of the twenty-second kind That's when an alien spaceship disappears up your behind I got directory enquiries after less than forty rings I've even heard a decent song by Paul McCartney's Wings I've seen a flying pig in a quite convincing wig But I've never met a nice South African. No he's never met a nice South African And that's not bloody surprising man 'Cause we're a bunch of ignorant loudmouths With no sense of humour - ha ha I've met the Loch Ness monster and he looks like Fred Astaire At the BBC in London he's the chief commissionaire I know a place in Glasgow which is rife with daffodillies I met a man in Katmandu who claimed to have two willies I've had a nice pot noodle but I've never had a poodle And I've never met a nice South African. No he's never met a nice South African And that's not bloody surprising man Because we've never met one either Except for Breyten Breytenbach and he's emigrated to Paris. Yes he's quite a nice South African And he's hardly ever killed anyone And he's not smelly at all. That's why they put him prison.

Dear Michael,
I want to tell you something i wasn’t able to tell u before:
you have inspired me with scotland and its culture!
i always had a passion 4 british culture even if u r not british but celtic as u always like to point out 😉
if before i was 90% sure to move to the uk,now i’m positive to do so:
i’ve decided to go with my best friend who has won a scolarship for wales…
she is staying a year in cardiff:she is leaving in october,so in november ,when i’ll be done with my studies i’ll leave and give it a try and see what’s wales like…
have u ever been there?is it nice?do u think it’s easy 4 me to find a job there?I would like to know your opinion and i especially want to thank you for motivating me so.
If to you the most important thing is to help people, u should know that u helped me a big deal,so your trip after all wasn’t a complete failure or waste of time.
hope u will have time to answer me because i know that u r very busy or just eager to relax after 6 months away from home…
ps:thank u 4 your concern and the nice conversations we had during our car trips,those conversations i will miss,
thank you a lot and good luck with your life.
bye;)
