There are two - and before I shuffle off this mortal coil, I might manage both. Prague - and Wenceslas Square - where I'm told the atmosphere at Christmas is just wonderful - It's a nice enough place any time of the year, but I've never made it there at Christmas.

People keep saying that the world will end soon. No! It's not true! They just want to get attention. People say it's going to end in 2012. We don't know! Maybe, maybe not. JEEZ! When God says enough fighting, he will send Jesus down, and people won't even know it's Jesus! So then it'll just … Read more

OK. Almost all camping on land owned by someone else is considered "Trespass".  If you arrive late and leave early, and no-one ever knew you were there, who cares? Public footpaths are always on land that is "owned by someone" - (and you might be disturbed by someone using the footpath). Generally speaking, if you … Read more

This won't work in all cases, and you'll need luck. About 10 years ago, my son's local football team played against one of the Arsenal Academy teams (they lost 3-1), but the Arsenal academy people were so impressed with one of the players on my son's team (alas, not my son), that he was invited … Read more
