About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Dun know.

ABOUT ME

I am Sam and I am on an adventure. I've had lots of adventures, but this is the first real one. I don't know quite where I'm going, how I'm getting there, or why exactly, but I'm going there anyway.

I'm from England and I love England, but it seems boredom has conquered love, so I'm cheating on her.

I've been a political activist, writer, barman, company director, and now I'm a tennis coach.

My greatest strength is good taste.

My greatest weakness is a secret.

PHILOSOPHY

"Down with a world in which the guarantee that we will not die of starvation has been purchased with the guarantee that we will die of boredom"
- Raoul Vaneigem
