Like a lot of people, I am addicted to coffee. I know this because my relationship to it is not solely defined by how it tastes and the effect it has. There is also a ritualistic aspect to my coffee consumption too. Coffee is the one ‘vice’ that I let myself off the hook about. …
If you’ve been following my stuff for a while you’ll know that I’m currently living in Soho, the area that was formerly London’s red light district. Latterly the scourge of gentrification has fallen heavily. However, the district is still pretty ‘colourful’, particularly at night. To being it to life for you, I took out the …
I’ve lived in Central London for nearly six months now. It’s a childhood dream, since I’ve always loved this city, and previously I’ve only lodged in outlying areas. Right now, when I go downstairs and open the front door I walk straight out onto Shaftesbury Avenue, slap bang in the middle of the West End and …
If you haven’t heard it yet, I strongly encourage you to listen to my podcast from last Friday, which was an interview with daygame legend PAUL JANKA.

In May 2016 my girlfriend at the time moved into my apartment in London. Six months later I was so frustrated and unhappy I asked her to leave. That is the full and triumphant history of my cohabitation with women since my early twenties. The reason this girl moved in was complicated, but basically it was one …
