Hello

This is Burnt Out Car, the small corner of the internet that belongs to me.

It’s been up on the web in various guises since about 2003 and it’s a place for me to post my thoughts, memories, images, and other random bits and pieces of web-ephemera as well as a place to keep in contact with those people around me that are important in my life.

The name, Burnt Out Car, actually comes from a song by a band who (close friends will know) are one of my favourites: Saint Etienne. It’s a pop song. ‘The Ets’ make pretty good pop songs.

What Is 'Wi-Fi' In Greek, Anyway?

Hello? Anybody there? I am still in the EU, right?

Was hoping to get started writing about my trip away to Greece last night, but my hotel’s Wi-Fi was a little, to put it best, fragile. Having arrived last night and stayed in the centre of Athens I’m now back at the airport waiting for my driver to whisk me to Nafplio, my ultimate destination, having seen absolutely zilch of this historic city.

Oh well, I’ll just have to come back.

Meanwhile, I’m remembering that most people you have to spend time with at airports are the sort of folk you’d really never want to see ever again, aren’t they? Especially Brits at airports.
