CURRENT MISSION

as I have more time behind me than in front of me I aim to do as little as possible that is not 100% enjoyable.

ABOUT ME

born in the burbs of London. A straight "c" student with little to show for eleven years of idle thought.spent the next 6 years bluffing my way to a weekly wage packet.4 more years spent in taxis, ice cream vans , house renovation to name but a few occupations. Hit the road in 72 on an overland bus to India , finishing in S. Korea , a year and a bit later. Over the following decades time was spent in the US and NZ doing what ever I could legally to turn a dollar. Have accumulated wive's. kids, and enough stuff to stay solvent. Presently in Laos running a backpacker.
