Thanks Nessa
My very good friend Bill, actually :) Sort of nails it. It sounds wrong, as he is older, and his Canadian-Californian accent, is out of place, asking for rum, and coca cola. However there is something, he gets the cynicism right.

Again, its from the Trainspotting soundtrack. I should mention here. Trainspotting was a phenomena  in Glasgow. When I arrived there, in 1995. To look around the university. There were posters of it everywhere. When I got my hair cut shore, the cleaners asked me if I was a trainpotter. Every nightclub, every bar, played the soundtrack, and we played the soundtrack ourselves. In the Hall, in the GUU, in Jintys all the time, and every time
Trainspotting is about Edinbrugh, and Mile end is about London
It explains, some of my feelings for London.
I don't like the city.
I however remember the song now for a different reason. The biggest pulp fan, in France. When I was there, in my capacity as the greatest sword in all France. Liked the song.
I remember her favourite line, was
The fifth floor landing smelt of fish, not just on Fridays, every single other day.
So, I include Mile End here, I prefer common people, as an example of how people change your outlook, on the world.
Bonsoir

Song for today ``There’s gotta be more…’’

I am borrowing this content for a moment. Yes I am aware I have a child’s musical taste http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUOcQnWbk_U&feature=related I used to catch this song,on one of the music channels, a few years ago.  I liked it. Its a nice enough song.  Stacey O, is a sweet young lady. Who tired of the music business and became a volunteer in Africa. I have been listening to it all day today. I downloaded if from Amazon. It catches a moment in adolescence when, you start working, and its mopping floors, or loading books onto barrows. You go to college and its waiting around all day for three hours of lectures, eating instant noodles, and maybe watching Star trek, or the Simpsons  and going to bed. So you go to the club on the weekend. You go to the underwear party. You get drunk, but that’s it isn’t it

Malchera in High school

Will from the in-betweeners, with bad skin, look at the area arround my left eye. I have just had a bout of conjuctiveitis. That and my half smile, to conceal my cracked incisor and dirty teeth... I don't know why I actually possess this picture. School Photographs, now there is racket. They take you out of class, and take your picture, and charge you for the picture. Anyway, my mother never paid for the school photographer. She had 4 children in the same school,  and paying for 4 photographs, would not have been cheap. I do remember the day though. Before me, the busty Kelly Panei, had gone first. The photographer had made a crack about beauty and the beast, so I knocked over his stand on the way out... But for years after, this was my mental image of myself...
