Billy Connolly on digital…

I have just finished reading Billy Connolly’s biography, which has been written by his Aussie comedienne/psychologist wife Pamela Stephenson, and right at the end there is this quote from him on people that use the Internet or ‘The Great Anorak in the Sky’ as he calls it.

“You know why those people are on the Internet don’t you? Because you wouldn’t speak to them in the pub”

Harsh! Billy, there are PubCamp’s going on don’t you know!

Some words of wisdom…backpacker stylee

I´ve met a lot of interesting people along the way so far. Some of which you could describe as over packed in more ways than one. In one toilet I found these words of wisdom to keep you entertained whilst taking a leak.

I’m sure that they came from the pen of someone else but I apologise to the person who wrote them if they are orginal…

This one is probably my favourite…

Not the most poetic but true all the same..
