zip's

Are zip front jeans the devils creation? I have worn some jeans today with a zip fastener, I haven't worn these particular jeans for a while, and must admit that i was a bit hasty in the speed of fastening this morning. Anyway no harm done. So fella's be warned. Zip up jeans are not just for christmas. They could be for life!

the world. very impressive...

heading home

We were somewhere around Clermont on the edge of the Pyreenes when the Buffalo burgers began to take hold. I remember saying something like "I feel a bit lightheaded; Maybe you should drive...." And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Paris. And a voice was screaming: "Holy Jubus! What are these goddamn animals?" Then it was quiet again. Josh had taken his shirt off and was pouring San Miguel on his chest, to facilitate the tanning process. "what the hell are you shouting about?" he muttered, staring up at the sun with his eyes closed and covered with Spanish Kanye West sunglasses. "Never mind," I said. "It's your turn to drive." I pointed the Ford focus toward the Etap hotel. No point mentioning those bats, I thought. The poor bastard will see them soon enough.

it's over

Saturday night Josh and I stayed up until 07:00 strutting our stuff to 2many DJs. Which I might add "were excellent". The next day started a tad late but we managed a dip in the pool to sooth poor Josh's sun burn. That night Josh bravely jumped on the bus to head to the festival with Neil and Mark from Maidstone "small world" while i had a touch of thirty-eight-itus and needed some sleep. On all accounts the Killers were good but Franz Ferdinand still hold the title for band of the festival, and coming from a life long Oasis fan you can imagine how good they were.

the story so far...

Just entered taragona, josh mallet (number 1 eighties kid) has managed to lose the directions out the window. Also finding it interesting that keith listens to hot chip in the bath... Which he claims 'the robotic movements create a great lathering of soap.'

Base Camp 1

Shit, showered & shaved ready for the final assent.

Ramsgate to Beziers 750 mile drive and a very welcoming American diner and hotel. Night all.

Claude the Hitch-hiker

Around 2pm we picked up a hitchhiker named Claude, who we think wanted
to be a wasp, after we noticed his yellow & black jumper. We dropped
him off at Vichy after many hours together when mid conversation Keith
rudely zipped down the window and he buzzed away...

travel games

Keith and josh have nearly completed road trip bingo, however we are still to see a horse, road works and traffic lights. 270 miles to perpignan and not a horsey insight!

skinny jeans and long journeys dont mix!

We reach paris as keith loses circulation to his cock!
