About
An ex DJ with no job prospects worth talking about, and don't really care. I'm from the north of England, speak Barnsley, and see life as a big fat reason to smile. I'm on Santa's naughty list. Any ladies wanting a date should contact a psychiatrist. Any guys wanting a date will have to wait until I run out of ladies. I can be contacted on ohmygodhistastesmakethemarquisdesadelooklikeashyvirgin@radishmail.com I'm very sexy and don't smell very much quite a lot of the time.
Education
PHD = Pizza Hut Delivery
Doctorate (PhD), Round food

My expat journey
West Java, Indonesia
Gosh! what a question. If my life was a book, it would have been written by someone using hallucinogenic drugs
I'm a professional, sometimes shortened to 'Pro'.
My driving licence confirms this.
Pretty much everything except the roads.
Not enough Alfamarts
South Tangerang, Banten, Indonesia
Married - 2 kids
I wander around with a camera
No motorbike
Finally got rid of that suspicious rash.
Keep buying cameras.
Toucan malas
Electronics shops
Easy to get pretty much anything you want
People are nice
Food is good
Faster internet
Traffic, the terrible traffic
Kota Cirebon, West Java, Indonesia
Working until the pandemic, then lazy because I felt like it
This town has all the good stuff you need for daily life, but not much bad

Wonosobo, Central Java, Indonesia
Not much because I was far too lazy to do much by way of work.
Trying to get killed in whole new ways by driving too fast on a motorbike.
Still trying to get rid of that suspicious rash.
Toucan malas
Great place.
Nice weather
Lovely people
No traffic jams
Easy, stress free life
Bad roads and worse internet
Yorkshire (Barnsley), England
Test, Test, Test
Trying to get as many biker chicks as I could.
Trying to stop the smells coming from my trousers.
Trying to get myself killed at very high speed on a motorbike
Trying to work out how to get rid of the suspicious rash.
Trying not to remember how drunk I was last night.
Trying to break a few more bones and get a few extra stitches whilst doing martial arts of various types.
Making people happy (Except ex girlfriends).
Amazing party DJ
Sound engineer
Now and again radio guest (Usually after being arrested for doing something disgusting)
The Yorkshire hill country
The Indian and Chinese food was amazing
York - absolute must visit place
Way too much of a drug/alcohol/idiot problem, but I've moved now.

Samsung ZFold 8 - Failed delivery by Fred
For the first time in a few years, I decided to change a phone before it died - That being because the Z Fold 8 looks great. I pre-ordered a phone with a delivery date of the 21st of this month. Still nothing yesterday so I ordered from the Samsung ...

I did find one issue with the Z Fold 8 - I can't use a slab any more. My Samsung S22 feels like a brick now, so the new phone, intended as a second unit to replace a phone and tablet, became my primary device yesterday. I transferred my Huawei watch ... Read More
