The Carretera Austral is a … Continue reading My Adventures… On the Carretera Austral (From the Notebook)
Editorial
I'm back. I appreciate that recent coverage of culture and current affairs has slipped below that which you expect from our publication. Our name as a global powerhouse in to-the-minute coverage has come under serious question. Over the following months, we will endeavour to answer those questions. There are reasons for this slip, all of … Continue reading Editorial
Missed Bus #1
I woke up and the sheet had come undone. I peeled my shoulder from the yellowed mattress and looked across at my phone to see the time. A red light blinked intermittently and I couldn't tell, from the light coming in from the window it was early morning. When I arrived I hadn't been able … Continue reading Missed Bus #1
A letter to… Horror Movies
Dear Horror Movies, I am writing to express my recent disdain in your existence. Recently I have found myself outdoors more regularly than the norm, furthermore I have been in unfamiliar lands where the native tongue is not my own. I know what you are thinking, I should be hunted, parted from my dearly beloved … Continue reading A letter to… Horror Movies
My Adventures in… Cabo Polonio
Where to begin... It seems like so long ago now, but in actual fact it was just a fortnight ago that I was in Cabo Polonio, spiritual home to the Uruguayan hippies. Leaders of the free world.

Simple zit squeezer, Valuable assistant to tweezers, Disgusted club onlooker at Bacardi breezers or fighting geezers. Or neither. Over table hanger, Of middle class bangers and … Continue reading Furry Mirror

Secondly, I apologise for the … Continue reading Editorial – Thanks, apologies and exciting advances
The Mate experience
Like any good traveler I am immersing myself, as best I can in the local culture. Since coming South from Brazil, one of the staples in the cultural and culinary diet is the consumption of Mate. (Pronounced Mat-eh. Like your from Leith.) Mate is not just the humble tea we are used to in Britain, … Continue reading The Mate experience
