Of Love and Hate

I love romance, I hate relationships.
I love women, I hate wives.
I love solitude, I hate loneliness.
I love the idea of God, I just hate religion.
I love to travel, I hate tourism.
I love living in Romania, I hate the Romanians. I love the Britons, I hate living in Britain.
I love soldiers, whatever flag [...]

CH3 CH2 OH

That’s ethanol, or ethylic alcohol, for all you non-nerds out there. The stuff that hangovers are made of. Guess what I am about to do today…
Today I plan to get drunk. Like I’ve not done in a while. You can find me at the North Cote Festival, in Battersea, listening to jazz and getting pissed. [...]

A Charity Fuck

19.00 PM, Bucharest time (GMT plus 2). Tie, white shirt and a suit and a cameraman already eager to leave. Marriott. Big shiny glowy room filled with stuffy uptight charity people.

Sex Workers and the Media

I don’t know how many of you have ever bargained with a prostitute for her galant services, but let me assure you that I, for one, have done it a lot of times. And yes, on business assignments, since I’m brave enough to jump at a prime minister’s throat with a tough question, but I [...]

Sex, Drugs and War Explained

Good evening, everybody! Yes, I’m back, living proof that HM Immigration Service is just a waste of tax money. I’ll be using some explicit language tonight, so tell your children to pay attention, in case you need any of the words explained.
Guess what! I’ve some more news from Romania! First of all, they’ve re-branded my [...]

I Knew She Was Under Age, Your Honour!

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, what can I say? I am guilty! Please, there is no need to be lenient, I deserve what’s coming my way. And the fun was totally worth it. But, ladies of the jury, take it from a sex predator: I may be guilty, but still I was even more [...]

From “Oil For Food” to “Work For Food”

I must first of all apologize to my usual readers for the fact that I’m writing this post in English and not Romanian. I thought I’d spoil the fun by translating it.
So there you have it! It’s a worldwide crisis, we all were painfully aware of it. But hell, we thought we’d be in [...]
