Chinese Whispers…

Reading the papers can be very entertaining.  Generic references, stereotypes and punchlines are used to tell stories that make me wonder what actually really happened.  More so, every institution tends to have a different take or perspective on the matter.  I recall few years ago, while on the drive to generate publicity for my first […]

Time Spent…

A lady cleaner at my workplace has gotten real fond of me.  I see her every now and again and we always share good conversations.  Of course, in this process I learn about her because she loves to talk!  So she’s from Portugal, came to London as a teenager and began working immediately.  She’s currently […]

Listening ears…

The other day, I got on the bus at Southgate and sat at the back next to a Jamaican couple.  En route, I couldn’t help but overhear bits of their conversation; not only because I love the Patois accent but they were rather loud and I have sensitive ears.  He was upset about something and […]
