European cyclist cheats (Rousse)

A handbag thief was on the loose. His method was to slit the base of his victims’ bags from behind then deftly extract the valuables from beneath. He performed this trick on me as I walked down the street. I … Continue reading
Hugh Grant lookalike lost in the US (Rousse)

Faerie Queene revision strategy (Rousse)
ST claimed that he’d done no revision, but I didn’t believe him. What was certain, however, was that I was yet to open Spenser’s Faerie Queene. I didn’t even have a copy of the poem in my possession and the … Continue reading
