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. Paul and I had a great chat about game, sex, love and the meaning of life itself! You can hear the podcast on my SoundCloud page here, or on iTunes here. …
I first came to London to live properly fifteen years ago. By properly I mean deep within the city of London, not out on the hinterlands, where I’d grown up as a teenager. For the first six months I was very lonely—I didn’t know that many people here—and I saw a lot of things. Those …
