I'm currently in Hartlepool.

There is a Spoons open so I've eaten and had a pint.



But there's no one else here and nothing else open.

I doubt the station has trains never mind bottles of water.


And it's hoying it down like buggary.


And thundering.

And lightening.



Tales of Madrid, Amsterdam and even Ghent are all rubbing it in to be honest.

As the existentialists point out one always has a choice.


Although I doubt that John Paul Sartre was ever stuck in Hartlepool in a pissing cloud burst.


In a light summer jacket.

Without a brolly.




That'd have made him ****ing nauseous and no mistake.


You don't realise how absurd and meaningless existence actually is until you're stuck in Hartlepool on a wet Tuesday afternoon.

I remember when Jean-Paul Sartre died Clive James saying how quickly people forget. The obituary in some broadsheet had written an obituary for John Paul-Sartre.

Remember feeling exactly the same on a wet Tuesday evening there in 2001. Got dicked 4, but crashed at a lass's from Stockton that night who was very accommodating so not all bad.

OK England is better than everywhere else. Hull is the best place in England and therefore better than Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin, Munich…Just need to be careful now and keep a lookout for men in white coats approaching up the drive.

if people realised other places did something’s better things might improve. Was in Paragon station at 7pm on Sunday and nowhere open couldn’t even get a bottle of water. I am sure that wouldn’t be the case overseas.

The old Mustapha's restaurant is now a 24 hour convenience store. Just a short walk from station. It's very continental in there.
 
What's with these continental shifts? Seem to be coming more common....6 to 6.....4 days on...4 off. I couldn't have hacked them. I'm glad I retired when I did.
