"Me, You, and Jason Euell" by Patrick Cullinan

reader of AFR (not to mention an excellent contributor to the Off The Post podcast).

I might as well just say it: I've been busy with work. I've been avoiding watching soccer matches
on TV and following sports media - because these things provoke me. Plus - and this the biggie -
I'm injured and alienated from the local scene which is my muse.
Joys of Tumblr: The Illustrated Ray Hudson
- "Burger King boys Getafe say ‘I'll have fries with this' tonight."
- "[Real Madrid has] a great recipe but it's got to bring the bun out of the oven. It's got to be
