Lately Michael has become a regular fixture among the barstool preachers and fruit machine chancers of Slims. Michael likes it here because he can be hidden in plain sight, nobody knows, nobody asks, nobody cares. Conversations are long, aimless and rambling, life’s great mysteries are solved over the taste of stout and the smell of John Player. The characters that frequent thi ..read more

You’re worrying about nothing, you need a fucking tissue? This life is not so bad, you’ve got to get things in line. ~ Even ..read more
