Falling Towards Poland – Part One
It was spring 2004 and yet again I was standing at a urinal in the Hamilton Hall in Liverpool Street Station in London pissing out another 10 rounds of shit beer with a chaser of vodka and Redbull. Everything was too much or not enough, I was more lost than a something in a something. The […]
