In our cute wee tinny car, we buzzed on up to Wigan from Swindon. It was our first encounter with the M6. Hopefully we'll never use that beast again! I'm extremely glad that it was James driving and not me. When we finally arrived at my cousin Paul's ... Read more >

"Roasted cashews sir?" enquired my attendent, clearly a male model masqerading as a airline steward.  More bloody nuts I thought as I surveyed the carnage of "empties" quickly accumulating around me and my Malaysian neighbour, Snuffles ... Read more >

Moscow

Sat, 6 Oct 2007 | By chrisdews | Views [552]

Moscow was a bit of a blur! Arriving at 830am, right in the middle of rush hour and having to try navigate the metro system while carrying all our stuff.. Made especially tough by the Russian's complete disregard for any queuing. Met up with our Trans-... Read more >
