Chaz goes Max Gogarty in Slovakia.

Got your new readies for tomorrow Chaz?
I've still got a wodge of SKK, can I get them changed at a regular bank for the first few months?


Yeah, I'm getting out to the Ukaraine in Febuary. Sounds awthome.

It is indeed fantabulosa, I'm going to be going in March.
My top tip would be to get to Michalovce and then continue by bus from there.

I hear you have a year till they're bogroll.

And Re Ukraine, good call, I'll bear that in mind, they probably have don't do a Rough Guide isn't it. :cool:
 
I've been following this as well - reckon you should turn it into a book or something, because it's fascinating. I especially like the graveyard anecdote.

Court case tomorrow. If I win, I've agreed to let my girlfriend defile me with a strap on...

It's a loose/loose situation then. :(

If it's loose, the strap-on thing will be much easier. :D
 
My guide to the Ukraine is from Bradt, can't remember if I got it at WH Smiths or from Amazon. Recommend it for pretty good listings and background information.
If you know a few words of Slovak you should be fine in the Ukraine, knowing the phonetics of the cyrillic alaphabet is a help.
 
BUMP..:)

How you doing out there? I had a random thought of this thread on Monday when we had the BIG snow and thought you might be very cold or even snowed in!
 
I bet he wussed out and abandoned the cabin for a warm but sketchy hotel. He is currently lying on the bed with a bottle of cheap red in one hand and the pornchanger in the other, wondering what happened to his beautiful Ruritanian dreams :cool:
 
I'd almost forgotten about this. It's gone very quite. My guess is that he's already fallen foul and ended up in Slovak debtors prison, or been fed to the wolves by the gypsies :)
 
There are wolves in Slovakia for sure and there's also a large Roma population that faces a high level of institutional and also direct racism.

Are you Carol Thatcher SE and can I claim my five Euros? :p
 
Drunk and disorderly.

Unfortunately I have been fully acquitted.

:confused: how do you get nicked for d+d in the middle of the Slovak forrest..?? I'd have wagered a bear was more likely to maul you death for being a pissed idiot then get you arrested..
.. got to ask, regular occurrence for you..??

Yup, my mum tells me Ukranian and Slovak are very similar.

We'll be heading out to the Ukraine (and probably on to the Crimea) some point next year, as my dad is about to take up a job where he'll have to be based in Kiev for most of the next two or three years
 
I've been overland to Kiew three or four times but never managed to stay there overnight as the trains going back west were always overbooked. Next time I'm going to try and book the return trip as well when I get a ticket in Cop or Uzghorod. March / April hopefully.
 
Umm, hi everyone, thanks for remembering me, unfortunately, Im still alive, and in Slovakia.
Buying run down property abroad whilst drunk and high is probably a bad idea.
This is my advice.
Its not that winter has been that cold, infact, pound for pound, you may have had it worse back home.
Speaking of pounds, the dual whammy of Slovakia joining the Euro, and the pound being weak means, that almost as soon as I moved out here, its become in many ways, more pricey than UK.
Well, apart from beer and fags, which is the main thing.
Shitting in a dunnie, has become very ordinary very fast. The real pain will be when I have to empty it, which will be soon, as my arse is practically touching frozen turd.
I guess Ill just have to shuvel it on the roses, shame about the bogroll though.
I quite enjoy chopping wood, it makes me feel manly, it would be much more so If I had an audience of screaming teenage girls watching, sadly Im in a shed .
So, infact, very soon after desperately trying to buy this property, im desparately trying to get out. :D

The only good news is, the tunes are coming on quite well. Here is one about honey pouring out of the walls on my first night here.

Yeah prices are climbing, a beer is around 80 Euro cents now and I paid €12 for a train ticket from Kosice to Zvolen last week. :hmm:
 
Nice to read an update :)

Tip for your dunny. Line the hole with a bin liner. Don't piss in it. Don't drop bog roll in it (keep a seperate bag for burning on the fire) and each time you crap drop a couple of handfuls of saw dust in it. When full, lift entire bag out of hole and burn it. It burns well and keeps you warm.

Any chance of some new photo's of your pad?
 
Chazegee , have you thought about renting the place out?
I was at a party last night and a couple of the guests were raving about back to nature holidays in rural Slovakia.

That is a very good idea. Its what I should have done. :hmm:

As is Stanleys about flaming turds.

Anyway, happier now. Id been attacked by a dog before last post, they be sidvicious out here, I bent down to pick up a stone to hurl at the bugger, and my trousers ripped alll from thigh to Cocyx.
This left me walking home 6 clicks with my balls flapping in the breeze, thats right ladies, I go commando.

I thought, fuck this, i cant even go for a Sunday walk.
Anyway, spring is on the way, I bought a new axe to make hay-wood for the last gasp of winter Prison, and soon I will be hot in my local Lido, surrounded by too young girls in Bikinis drinking beers and eating lard.:cool:

Edit to add, hmm, teenage girls becoming a theme in my posts, uh oh.
 
Aww Chaz, well you havent lost your sense of humour, although I admit its going a little dark. :D Still - we all feel the same way about impending summer - its waking us all up and making everyone feel better - PLUS you are not missing out on the daily M25 slog and mundanity of work a day back here.... You're doing it hardcore I know.......but I bet you're learning loads from your mistakes........chin up eh........any little buds showing their faces yet? Oh yes and I lived two winters in a single cavity flat with very little heating and am used to it this year (an oil heater helps) but you DO get used to things eventually.......and I also think men who can live frugally and are good with their hands are cool.........plus you're writing an album yes? :D Eat garlic btw, it is warming apparently.
 
how the bleeding jesus fuck did i miss this thread?? it's amazing. :mad: :cool:

at work now but will have a proper read this eve. nice one Chazegee, how's it going out there??
 
Update?

At least let us know you're well and good. I keep looking here first everytime I visit U75 in the hope.

Excellent thread even if it ends here, but I remain hopeful.
 
Hi Children, how's it going?
Bad Chef.
Why Bad?

I just drove my car back to the UK to renew the MOT (essential, for insurance)
Sadly, I forgot the tax was out of date, now the car has been put in the pound. It will cost me 700 squid to set her free.
I have 80 pounds.

I also got randomly stopped and searched at Ladbrook Grove tubestation, and was found with some Mephodrone. The Police claimed it was coke, slung me in the cells, and now I'm on bail for 2 months pending testing. Fucking Transport Police, they're not even real Police, just like my not even real drugs.

Blow a dog.

This means lots of fucking sofa surfing until I can go back to SK. I'm to old for this shit.

All things considered, I should have stayed in Slovakia. :(:D

That being said, there are real issues with the deeds of my slovak shack. I might not officially own my place. I need my Slovak friend to start being straight up about the whole thing. Essenetially, I live in a house full of the previous owners stuff, and more often than not, the previous owner doing things to his stuff.:mad:

To top things off, my ex-girl friend (the one who prompted by Slovak flight) has been phoning me up claiming she is close to having a nervous breakdown and really suffering. Remember though, she bloody canned me...

And I have a fucking hangnail. :mad::mad:

Somehow, this is the worst bit.

This is a whole new kind of low, so I think I might do the adult thing and hit the bottle and wallow in self pity for a stretch.

Then I might can it all put on a suit and get a proper job. It's taken me a long time to realise that it might infact be the easiest way to cope with this thing called life we're all in together.

Hmm. Not very inspiratinal end to the thread. Bogroll.

Hello chazegee :)

'Good' to read from you. When I left Granada I made a very symbolic gesture of dumping all my work suits at the local charity shop. A final statement to myself that I was never going back there. It is to easy and far to boring. When you get things sorted and get back to the shack for the summer you'll appreciate that. Honestly - you will.
