taking the chamade for a spin
i thought i'd take the chamade for a bit of a drive. To europe. So i gave it a bit of a service last week and here i am.

I'm posting this from international waters! I'm on the ferry between dover and france. I've already gatecrashed the v i p, everyone around me is dining on mussels and fine wine. I'm here with my ginsters and asda juice i smuggled in.

They have internet and films here but the boat makes me feel a bit funny.

I'll update in a week or so to let you know how many visits to renault dealerships i have made.
