It’s been my last full day Stateside for a good long while and I made the most of it by shopping, I managed to get a new funky iPod touch for around £50 cheaper than UK prices, so I’m a happy bunny – as you can see it don’t take much. Matt’s also a happy bunny, [...] -

It’s 4th July, so happy Independence day everyone, well everyone of my American readers anyway. I’m not sure if I’m the only one that feels this, but it’s a little odd being a Brit in America on Independence Day, after all it was this day back in 1776 when they fully declared their Independence from Great [...] -

The other day on our way to Vienna to see Matt’s folks we passed this slightly modified truck 4 x 4, it looked a little higher than normal from a distance, but up close it was massivly high, so I took this snap. The wheel arch is actually higher than the roof of Matt’s car and [...] -

Yesterday Matt suggested a trip to O’Fallon Mall, with dollar signs in my eyes, I agreed in a nano second, well come on, a self confessed shopaholic like myself, would kill a granny with our bare hands just to get a chance to shop at the mall or plenty. I know it’s a fair old distance, [...] -

Matt and I are off to PrideFest in St Louis, the biggest one in the Midwest, according the their website the PrideFest weekend attracts some 80,000 people, although last year when I was there on the Saturday, I’d have been hard pushed to count 5000! Still it was a good day, much like the Pride festivals [...] -

The death of Michael Jackson has been played out on every single news channel over this side of the Atlantic, I was flipping the channels last night and was hard pressed to find one that didn’t have a Michael Jackson special on it, filling up it’s airtime, there were reviews of his life, of his music, [...]

So far in the wilderness that is Southern Illinois, we’ve had eight consecutive days with temperatures in the mid 90′s and high humidity factors making it feel close on or just above 100f Which, no matter where you’re from is a tad on the warm side of things. It’s also taught me a lot, one I [...] -

Matt’s parents came round at lunch time the other day, I was sitting on the balcony, so at first I didn’t hear them banging on the door. I think they probably think I’m a little bit on the mad side, sitting on the balcony in 90+ degree heat, but there we go, I’m trying to make [...] -

Yesterday it was as they say, a warm one, I think the highest the mercury got was 96f, with a heat index temp of 104f, which, for a little Brit blokey like me, is darn hot! In Brighton usually it cools off in the afternoon, over here it seems to get hotter in the afternoon, indeed [...] -

Democracy or hypocrisy? That’s the question on the lips of many regarding the recent elections in Iran? It’s a difficult situation, the election choice was basically between the openly anti-Western Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, and Mir-Hossein Mousavi, who made it clear he wanted to end Iran’s isolation and talk to the Americans. An easy choice if you ask [...] -

6th June 2009, 65 years on from a day the world will not and should not forget, D-Day. The beaches of Northern France saw such death and destruction on such a massive scale that even today it’s hard to comprehend. It was the turning point of the war in Europe, for had it not been successful, [...]

Oh the wild drama of it all! I was strangely interested and maybe just a tad excited to learn that the American version of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here started on NBC and MTV this week. Gosh, I remember when they still played music videos on MTV, but obviously those days are gone, [...] -
