“People’s opinions of you are just like holding a blank sheet of paper...”
Cookies by Douglas Adams
This actually did happen to a real person, and the real person was me. I had gone to catch a train. This was April 1976, in Cambridge, U.K. I was a bit early for the train. I’d gotten the time of the train wrong.
I went to get myself a newspaper to do the crossword, and a cup of coffee and a packet of cookies. I went and sat at a table.
I want you to picture the scene. It’s very...

Living on the beach.
7th April 2009 - Colola, Mexico
I wandered around the campsite and found the “shower.” Well, I wouldn’t really call it a shower, possibly the greatest attempt of a creation by the Mexicans to resemble a washing station.

Hawaii has some of the most amazing natural beauty I will ever see, so...

Hollywood Boulevard.
After been given free mints by superman. Well, some guy that has decided to leave his day job and walk up and down hollywood boulevard having photos with the tourists dressed as Superman. He obviously love doing it, and hey, why not?
We finally found the bus station and asked the wrong person for directions. His directions were alright, just the conversation afterwards. “So where are you...
