Thatrsquos my fault really canrsquot pass the blame anywhere else there. Well my fabricthin excuses go along the lines of Jesolo WiFi is broken internet costs too much money and Irsquom poor Irsquove been really busy and finally this is really quite hard to write sometimes and Irsquom not quite the creative genius I may have marketed myself as http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-413089.html So here we go kiddies here is your latest instalment in the seemingly neverending Wellborne Papers. If a sense of frustration pervades through my writing it is merely because the laptop I am writing on has truly given up on life and isnrsquot even trying anymore. My computer isnrsquot just depressed it is distraught in fact I would go as far as to say I am perhaps the only person in t http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-402629.html Sunday 24 May 2009 0936 Good morning chaps I hope you are jolly well your old mucker Chris signing in here. Right first thingrsquos first Irsquom not writing up the rest of my miniEuropeanJanuaryBreak one itrsquos too long secondly itrsquos too personal and three Irsquom too lazy. Ok secondthingsecond where oh where are my messages of ldquoOh my God Chris you a http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-401624.html Ok kiddiewinks which I have just discovered is an approved word in Microsoft Wordrsquos spellchecker the blog is back after much demand. Well ok Greg said he was a bit bored and could do with something to read but thatrsquos pretty much the same thing as huge demand.Now to whet your appetites before hurling straight into my current Italian adventure Irsquom actually providing you d http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-399421.html Well hello.... Good morning chaps for it is I returned. I'm currently in Bristol International Airport a cowshed currently covered in a vicious layer of frost awaiting to board my flight. Now which particular part of the world is about to have me unleashed upon it Which lucky place will have the joy of my company utterly useless observations and roguish charmWell...er...Italy again. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Bristol-County/Bristol/blog-361732.html M is for My Triumphant Return25th September 2008So.Irsquom in the Hotel Monaco e Quisisana a fourstar luxury hotel in Jesolo. I am sat on the floor with my back leaning against the foot of the bed laptop atop my lap legs outstretched across the floor breaking through into the bathroom. Why Well the reason that Irsquom in the Monaco is that Irsquom flying home tomorrow evening and I http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-327798.html L is for LanguageOk I know what I said about knowing when to stop buthellipSo language a subject which I have already ranted on far too much. As a result I will keep this relatively short and sweet. It is without arrogance or an ego I say that I have done very well at picking up this language malarkey and thoroughly enjoyed myself doing so however there have been a few moments at which I h http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-327797.html Now. http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-315532.html J is for JesoloHello everybody I hope this entry finds you well. As Irsquom writing this up I am quite aptly listening to Riders On The Storm by the Doors. This is apt because today there was a four minute storm which happened to hit Jesolo just after I had started the six minute ride from the Ambasciatori Palace to the Marco Polo Hotel on my utterly decrepit and crippled bicycle. Now I am http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-312449.html I is for Italy. It was very nearly for Insanity. I will explain why in just a moment. Other potential candidates were Inebriation Idiocy and Inability to Choose a Starting Letter perhaps the most tenuous of the suggestions. I do have a list of all of the letters of the alphabet with their entry title counterparts written out ready Irsquom organised like that however changes do suggest th http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-309003.html Before I begin I must explain the more frequent postings I have realised I have a whole alphabet to get through and I only have 8 more weeks left here. Excluding this post that means I have got 16 more articles to publish before coming home which is easy enough to calculate 2 articles a week. I hope the quality doesnrsquot suffer to be honest after the appalling anticlimax of G for Gir http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-306254.html G is for Girls.Irsquom afraid so it has come to this. If you do not wish to think badly of me then please do not carry on with reading this. It is sordid and debauched just reading it could potentially corrupt innocent souls.Actually Irsquom afraid itrsquos not. I canrsquot really write this up for I were to do so I fear that people would have very little respect for me also identitie http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-306252.html F is also for Friends and Family Oh it really is. I hate to doubleentry here but I think itrsquos needed. Irsquom halfway through the season and you guys need to know that I miss you. So here is a list in absolutely no order of people Irsquod like to shout out toMum Rob Kate Harry Suzie Dad Greg Sam Paul Ed hah yoursquore a gay couple now hehehheheheh Rickers http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-306251.html F is for FoodI have been putting off writing this for a long time because trying to organise this in my head let alone write it up normally feels like an impossible task. There is so much food here of which I have eaten vast quantities that Irsquom not sure Irsquom up to doing it justice with my words. There is also a chance that some of this will repeat on various food substances described http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-303525.html E is for ExcursionsCiao regazzi come stai I find myself yet again in front of the laptop fingers happily tapping away at the keyboard thinking that if I put my mind to it I could probably take over the world but never really finding enough time to do ithellip So instead I will go over excursions and everything to do with them. Now obviously if you are fans of this blogthingy then you wi http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Verona/blog-296537.html D is for Days Off Despite all appearances and the vast amounts of time taken to write up all this blathering gibberish I do actually do quite a lot of work. To understand my days off and how I use my free time Irsquod best describe the actual working part of all of this first. My normal working week starts on a Friday which is airport day see A which usually lasts from 07.00 to 21.00 if http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-295585.html C is for Customers Complaints Colleagues CretinshellipGood morning everybody Irsquom sat in my baking hot apartment at 07.45 killing 13 minutes of time before starting my duties at the Ambasciatori Palace I must confess that Irsquom not entirely awake Irsquom sure that somewhere in this condo is a picture of me sleepinghellip So lsquoCrsquo is rather an allencompassing http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-294336.html B mi amici e per Booze.Editorrsquos NoteThis is my least coherent entry yet and hopefully ever this is due to the very nature of the subject and it might not be the most informative amusing of worthwhile entry I have made but being the artist of integrity I am I feel that deleting the words that were written whilst under the influence would just be sellingout.Now seems as good a time as http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-291133.html Ok so the traveling part of the blog is over I am no longer on holiday and am in fact working or at least doing a damn good impression of someone who is. If I continued this as a quasidiaryjournal it would end up dull reading as the interesting events are spread over days whilst some of the parts of the job are good to know about so that if I write or talk about them you have a vague idea o http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-288148.html Greetings Earthlings How I find the time to write these damned things up I will never know for todayrsquos entry and recollections I am sitting by my dining room table the Venetian sun filtering in with the everbeautiful sounds of workmen destroying the carpark below my apartment building filling the air. It was so nearly very picturesque. Not much more to write up about training at lea http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Veneto/Venice/blog-281757.html
