WORLD OF DARRENF: 01/05/14 - 01/06/14

http://blog.darrenf.org/2014_05_01_archive.html

Shout to the north, to the south, to the east, to the west, to the home I love, best, where my soul can, rest, YES. Sunday, May 18, 2014. You Vaticannot be Serious. Other potential titles for this post: Rome and Away, Whererever I May Rome, Romeward Bound, . hat tip to Nige for all of those. Er, yeah. I'm in Rome. Sat on BA557 FCO-LHR. This has not been an average Sunday. There are early flights, but those are stupid. Given the 11pm-ness of the hour and state of my head, I at least had the wherewitha...

WORLD OF DARRENF: 01/12/14 - 01/01/15

http://blog.darrenf.org/2014_12_01_archive.html

Shout to the north, to the south, to the east, to the west, to the home I love, best, where my soul can, rest, YES. Saturday, December 13, 2014. That Was The Greek That Was. The weather and breakfast were both much better than on Friday. The olives didn't smell so bad and there was more of everything, presumably because I hadn't turned up with only 5 minutes to go. Hadn't taken my bag and wasn't in a hurry, I figured I would have a shower and pack and then go for the 1111 bus. But y'know what? And, uh, t...

WORLD OF DARRENF: The Great Circular Venetian Shanks' Pony Challenge

http://blog.darrenf.org/2013/07/the-great-circular-venetian-shanks-pony.html

Shout to the north, to the south, to the east, to the west, to the home I love, best, where my soul can, rest, YES. Friday, July 19, 2013. The Great Circular Venetian Shanks Pony Challenge. Yesterday he promoted my piece about our evening in Venice on Facebook, and also posted his own entry about how to do a morning there on the cheap. Since we splintered into multiple groups and I ventured off by myself, and I'm a fearsome plagiarist, here's my version in the same format. Cross numerous canals and bridg...

WORLD OF DARRENF: In the Greek mid-winter

http://blog.darrenf.org/2014/12/in-greek-mid-winter.html

Shout to the north, to the south, to the east, to the west, to the home I love, best, where my soul can, rest, YES. Thursday, December 11, 2014. In the Greek mid-winter. Anyone who doesn't think that's the fucking jackpot of champagne-swigging first class blog post titles can stop reading right now. The doziness wore off and I played a bit of pinball on the iPad, eventually scoring 2 of my highest ever 6 scores on the table I've played more than any other. Go me! Landing was bumpy. Nigh on 80% of the...

WORLD OF DARRENF: 50/40

http://blog.darrenf.org/2013/09/5040.html

Shout to the north, to the south, to the east, to the west, to the home I love, best, where my soul can, rest, YES. Sunday, September 08, 2013. Bleh I turn 40 next year. Not that this is a surprise, I'm pretty sure it was always on the cards for 2014. But bleh. Actually I'm not that fussed by the number and I don't really do "things to do before you're. Lists, but the box-ticking fauxCD voice inside has been asking: can I make it to 50 countries in the world before I'm 40? Apparently (if my notes and mem...

WORLD OF DARRENF: Morocco's Modern Life

http://blog.darrenf.org/2015/03/morocco-modern-life.html

Shout to the north, to the south, to the east, to the west, to the home I love, best, where my soul can, rest, YES. Monday, March 02, 2015. Woke up on Sunday with a minor hangover. I blame all the hot weather and alcohol, personally. But it was truly minor, and breakfast gave it a solid kicking. The bus came along and I asked for two tickets IN FRENCH, got an answer IN FRENCH, and then responded with some non-random words IN FRENCH. Allez moi! The gardens were great, my enjoyment heightened by the first ...

WORLD OF DARRENF: Teed Off

http://blog.darrenf.org/2015/03/teed-off.html

Shout to the north, to the south, to the east, to the west, to the home I love, best, where my soul can, rest, YES. Tuesday, March 03, 2015. So here's the plan: get up early, have breakfast, plot the day in reverse. What time do we need to be at the airport? How long does the bus to the airport take? What time does the airport bus leave? How long a walk to the bus stop is it? How long does that leave us to Do Stuff? Shouted at us, which seems like a slightly worse version of the "Harry Ramsden! Pizza, di...

Shout to the north, to the south, to the east, to the west, to the home I love, best, where my soul can, rest, YES. Saturday, February 28, 2015. When two remain two. Marrakesh is loud. In numerous ways. The city's medina and main square are super-bustling hives of activity yet back in the riad at night there was more silence than you can shake a shitty stick at. Though right now the resident cat, Limoun, is making a "feed me" racket outside our room and so is my stomach. We know how to holiday. Boarding ...

GPS cocks: Russell's first cock

http://www.gpscocks.com/2009/10/russells-first-cock.html

Scribbling genitalia since 2009. We're all schoolkids and the earth is our exercise book. Wednesday, 28 October 2009. Who was walking to work. In London, UK. Cock in context: at Google Maps. Says: As you will see, my coin purse gently nestling against the chin of leicester square, the veiny length of the shaft running along SHAFTesbury avenue and the top of the shaft thrusting through the heart of soho ending with the bell end marking the yahoo! 28 October 2009 at 13:55. 26 November 2009 at 12:46.
