India. They were bought in America, from a department store, by my Mum.
When I went to Goa there was a bright shiny Lacoste store amongst the dust and dirt. It looked very out of place. They were selling their polos for about £15/20 a go there, still got my blue one.
fuck me i must've gone at the wrong sort of time, it wasn't that cheap or i'm shit at maths |

This is the water.
And this is the well.
Drink full and descend.
The horse is the white of the eyes and dark within.

The Sexy Spacatron.
I love Bennett. We went to the pub a few times one month when he recommenced the path of alcohol goodness. As soon as he got back on his feet he ditched me like the cheap drinking buddy whore that I am. It hurt inside, but I was too prideful to show it, looking back that was the start of my troubles. The next few months left me craving for the attention I once had; although at the time I didn't put the events together. I found myself drinking alone in empty pubs, desperately trying to befriend anybody who came through the doors. I'd only last a week or two in each pub before the landlords would get fed up of me putting off the other customers, but I'd be on to the next establishment soon enough, where the cycle would continue.
It was around this time when I walked into a tiny little pub that I'd never noticed before. Hidden away by the avenue tree's dotted unevenly along the sides of the road, and the Jesus loves you posters from the church next door. The landlords name was Jim. Jim was of a timeless age, maybe a young 70 or an old 50, but definitely not 60. Irish, or at least by descent, he had the look of a man who'd seen much in his life; most of it through others eyes. There was a simple complexity about Jim, he knew what he wanted to say and he knew just enough words to say it, yet there was a sort of poetry to his speech; a rhythmic rhyme, a sort of bass line to the wise content of his words.
There was never a clue to the day or date in Jim's pub, the clientèle were regular in their frequent irregularity, but every one of them was a character....

Maybe after some more wine, Sam's comments have knocked my confidence for random forum posting. |

Having a job never stopped me writing random forum shit though did it? And I was working fucked up hours the last job I had. I don't get what your little dig had to do with anything. I think you're upset because I called you an uncultured dullard the other day. Well matey boy, you didn't recognise a synopsis of Othello did you? You're not doing your potential top trumps cards ratings any favours are you, I wouldn't be surprised if Yeovil gave you negative scores. Boooo at Sam. |

Considering he's sat in front of the biggest fuck off encyclopedia in the world, I'm not surprised. Is it Lima? |
