My apologies for absence once again, I have been back in the ‘shire for the past week supposedly using the time away from London as an opportunity to reflect on my current employment in light of leaving my current employment and hooking myself up with a new 9 – 5. As it happened, it [...]
Whilst on the cyber-hunt for the joyous news [below] about TfL rolling out 1700 new top-up points across this great city, I accidentally came across another related article on the monstrous BBC News website. This article comes in the form of moving image for your viewing pleasure and is a couple of months old already [...]
A dear friend let me know this morning that, whilst doing the usual get-up in the morning, she saw a news article featuring our lovely London Mayor promising 1700 new Oyster Pre-Pay Top-up stations by June! Now isn’t that wonderful?!
Apparently, Oyster can now be [or very soon will be] available for purchase on EuroStar. That [...]
Dear Mayor Livingstone,
This evening, I have walked home from work from Bond Street to Hackney Wick. It has taken me over two hours and I am tired and very pissed off.
It is 3:30AM, my bed lies, ever tempting, next to me but this cannot wait. I need to write to you now before I calm [...]
Although I promised yesterday that I wouldn’t blow all of my findings from the Internet in one big splash, I cant resist posting this puppy up now. I just found it and thought it is worth posting.
Ross Grittins, writes about the future of cash (in 2004) and why we should all resist. It is certainly [...]
This evening felt good. Really good. As if a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. When asked if I had any spare change outside Holborn Tube Station I answered as I have done for years with a simple “no”, but this time I wasn’t lying!
Come to think of it, I am not exactly [...]
OK, first post back after a rather big ‘blip’ in my real life, my apologies for absence to all. Whilst flapping about over the past few weeks, most of my time was spent trawling the Internet, quite unproductively, for people doing similar things to me or people doing the opposite to me. Although [...]
Since I stopped using actual, tangible money, and with every day that passes, I feel more and more wary of cash, especially notes, and the strange semiotics that each denomination possesses. I’m sure I am going to look at this more deeply in the coming weeks and months, as it touches everything including (the obvious) [...]
Ok, so I have stumbled across something very difficult to get around without cash; Bouncers! I don’t mean to stereotype or slander but so far the average door man standing in between me and a good night on the tiles with my friends has not had the time/intellect/inclination to even want to hear my [...]
Day One, and if I was to describe how it went in a word, just one simple word, that word would simply be, “Fuck”. It was going so well until I need to buy something. I was at a conference in Leicester, not just any old conference, a really, really long and overly [...]
