The way the Atlantic makes me feel

Of all the seas and oceans that I have ventured through on my journey, it's the atlantic that is the most awe-inspiring, and that makes this massive ship feel like a ship should. It's the fact that no other stretch of water I have encountered can make this ship rock and roll, any wear near as much as the Atlantic. 

It's this motion of the ocean that reminds me of the supreme power of nature, its something that you cannot deny. 

Most of all the Atlantic reminds of the fact we are at last on our return leg, my final few days that have been confirmed even further as I received my travel information, from Amsterdam to London Heathrow on Thursday the 26th, I can unashamedly say that after I recieved this piece of paper, and had placed it in my lockable drawer, I went up to the highest part of the ship, on top of the bridge took off my shirt and basked in the sun, placed my head phones in my ears and began to dance, a dance of pure joy, not caring who saw in fact I really couldn't give a shit who saw. As dance is nothing but a form of expression.

But nothing can describe what it is like to see the bow of this ship plunge into the ocean considering that it's normally 8 meters from the water to the deck. It is the most uncomfortable Ocean that I have been in and yet it's the one that feels the most like home.

My life with Aspergers Syndrome (the Social Dyslexia)

Where do I begin this...this item is as personal to me as anything could ever possibly be. This is not just about me, but to all intensive purposes this is me. Now the reason why I, a twenty-six year old has decided to sit down and write this, is simply because having a form of Autism seems now to be a cause of shyness, of the thinking that everyone who might have the slightest form of Autism, or any mental difficulties should be bubble wrapped, this is wrong!!! To those of you who have ever read anything about Aspergers Syndrome (AS), might only know what you do from what you have read in newspaper articles. Articles that have made it into the main stream media due to people who have it and who have done terrible things, murders, computer hacking etc. These cases are far and few between, people with AS have the potential to do great things and to be great people. To give those of you to whom this might be an introduction to Aspergers Syndrome, an idea of the t

The Nissan Juke...The Car which is the very definition of Disciplined Insanty

Now a few months ago I travelled to Austria for the long easter weekend to visit some friends. This required me to rent a car to drive out to where they had rented a house. A good two hour drive out side of Vienna, having just spent a few days of Holiday in the South of France for some April sun as one does. I looked at the weather forecast...Snow and heavy Blizzards and decided to choose an SUV, the Nissan Juke seemed a decent bet and was a good price.  Having of course seen the advert (commercial for our American cousins) on television and other media for the car. Not going to lie I thought it was rather MAD...and not the prettiest car but I thought why not, and I am very happy I did, you will find out why now...lets begin. The Looks Now when you look at this car more closely it does something to the little kid inside of you...the looks and general external design are MAD, no thought whatsoever has been paid to aerodynamics. This is actually a good thing, it looks lik

Peugeot 308 The European Car of Year 2014....or is it? An honest review

For those of you who have read any of my prior blogs you would be more than likely be convinced that this Gentleman Traveller, has no other interest than upsetting the status quo and leaving different messages to the world.  However you would be vastly wrong, I happen to have several loves and passions one of which are cars and yes I am a fan of what Top Gear was BCE (Before Chris Evans). Yes incase you hadn't already gathered I am a loyal follower of the work of Jeremy Clarkson.  So on to the Peugeot 308 the hatch back which won the European Car of the Year Award for 2014...which lets face it basically basically makes it the World Car of the Year for 2014.  Now I rented this car on a recent return home to England to drive it for the weekend to go to a friends Birthday in the middle of the Cotswolds. This for me is the perfect place to do a good old fashioned road test. Because if a car can handle those roads, and give the driver what is required in terms of feed back e
