One lucky bastard...: July 2010
http://jeanmarcknoll.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Friday, 30 July 2010. Things I Would Change If I Were Mayor Of London - Rant #1. RELAX UNITED KINGDOM GUN AND HUNTING LAWS. Ignoring 'Keep Right' signs on any London Underground escalator during rush hour. It is called 'rush hour' for a reason. No excuse. No mercy. BLAM! Sudden halts whilst walking in areas of high pedestrian congestion, resulting in unsolicited mutual introduction of my nose and tourist backpack. Making me look stupid = not good. BLAM! Clapping, cheering, donating money and any other fo...

One lucky bastard...: October 2013

Friday, 25 October 2013. 50 Shades Of Grey. There is no escape as multiple infinite rainbows of grey pantone drabness vie for the right to bludgeon my brain’s unexpectedly vulnerable receptors of aesthetic appreciation. To my left, as I descend the stairway to my daytime doom, is a sight that would make Dante’s 9. Sunbury Cross skyline from the bridge of despair. Goodwins: a good reason to shop online. The bridge of despair and the stairway of sorrow. Google head office, Sunbury-on-Thames. Meagan Dechen:...

One lucky bastard...: January 2011

Sunday, 9 January 2011. I am a millionaire, finally. At least this is what the on-screen balance of the cash machine is telling me. I have to scan slowly from left to right in order to read and understand the vast sum of money that appears to be at my disposal, and then my mind takes off: the cars, the planes, the yachts - all shall be mine! But my reverie is as fleeting as my wealth is relative: these are Belarusian roubles that are being offered to me, not the Great British Pound. Note with my change a...

Wednesday, 24 June 2009. As the barista turns his back to me in order to prepare the first and last of today's 5-a-day, I cannot help but read the company slogan that signals my downfall. 'THE BEST ESPRESSO THIS SIDE OF MILAN', his t-shirt reads. The never-quite-asleep 9-year old in me wakes up and snorts disdainfully in the face of this potential comparison challenge. 'And a double espresso! I bellow so loudly that the nearest double chocolate chip cookie turns white. He is not alone as every inch of th...

Sunday, 12 June 2011. Up, Up And Away. Four hours of hiking through the canyons, culverts and chimneys on the previous day provided enough photographic material to wear down the shutter release button on my camera to a smooth polish. Seen from the sky today however, I am moved to silence and have to keep reminding myself to digitally immortalise the occasion, particularly as my habitual verbosity appears to have deserted me momentarily.

Wednesday, 12 August 2009. 8 - days gone and days to go on this magnificent tour of the Balkans. The third and final day in Montenegro marks the halfway point of our 6 country blitz. With Sarajevo, Mostar, Dubrovnik and Kotor behind us, the next week sees us leave the mainstream popularity of the Adriatic coast and enter the unknown entities that Albania, Macedonia and Kosova present. 0 - hangovers on this trip so far. Has maturity sneaked up on us? 2 - total number of words learnt and used on this trip,...

Wednesday, 9 March 2011. To the fast-track divine intervention they seek, too: with 98% of the population Roman Catholic and the only European constitution to declare divorce illegal, Malta can justly call itself the most devout nation of all.

Sunday, 12 June 2011. Up, Up And Away.

Seen from the sky today however, I am moved to silence and have to keep reminding myself to digitally immortalise the occasion, particularly as my habitual verbosity appears to have deserted me momentarily. Think I probably flew over you today as Im in Dubai now!
