LAYOVER Episode 4 - Bad airports (to spend the night)

4 Dec 2023 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

So far, I've had the admittedly not particularly pleasant chance of spending the night at four separate airports. The best, or perhaps I should say least worst, was Barcelona Airport, which was alright. It was large, empty, there were large TV show...

LAYOVER Episode 3 - Wizz Air

3 Dec 2023 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

Did you know that Wizz Air travels 50 190+ destinations in 53 countries? And did you know that Wizz Air owns 191 aircraft? Most of which are Airbus A320s. And did you know that the plural of 'aircraft' is still aircraft? I digress. As it turns ou...

I've got a friend, let's call her Person, that moved here six months after I did. We met a language exchange cafe and occasionally hang out for beer, or wine, or coffee, or all three. Now, after one year and six months, she's decided to go back hom...

LAYOVER Episode 1 - Overpriced food

2 Dec 2023 1 minute read 2 comments LeftFooted

I'm stuck between airports for the next XY hours so why not make the most of it to turn boredom into usable prose. First thing you do at an airport, you buy overpriced food. Check. I just a sandwich that should keep me *unhungry* (not a word, I kno...

LAYOVER

2 Dec 2023 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

Later on today, or tonight, depending on where you live, I'll spend around 7 hours at the airport. I've got the worst kind of layover possible, at night, so nothing's open, long enough to be boring but not long enough to justify spending $100 on a h...

Elon Musk's latest interview is as wild as ever, but there's one thing he said that's important

2 Dec 2023 1 minute read 3 comments LeftFooted

Elon Musk gave a wild interview to the New York Times. It's over one hour long but I still suggest you watch it, because it's quite interesting, to say the least. Everyone's familiar with Elon Musk. He's controversial, he can be bombastic at times,...

Remember the tale of the millionaire and the $5,000 loan?

19 Nov 2023 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

Somebody once told me this interesting tale about a millionaire who asks for a $5,000 and uses his supercar as collateral. A man with a 7-figure net worth drives to a bank and asks for a $5,000 loan. The bank manager says, yes, no problem, but we'r...

10 lowest paid players in the world's richest league

18 Nov 2023 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

Everyone knows the English Premier League is the wealthiest league in the world (well, aside from the Saudi League, maybe), and we often hear about how much the highest paid players make. Mind you what we never hear about is how much the lowest paid...

I'm monetising my WordPress website, this is the first brick on the wall

17 Nov 2023 1 minute read 0 comments LeftFooted

I have a bunch of blogs, four of which are very important to me. I've decided to monetise the oldest one, I've had for 13 years, and it's finally paying off. So to speak. After a month, I was able to generate my first cent, with 169 ad impressions....
