@Al_Humphreys I've just finished listening to Around the World by Bike - you talented bastard!
I was so impressed by your prose at times that I wondered if you'd used a ghost writer. After all, you didn't mention your aspirations to become a writer until the end.

Wow, what an adventure! And you're an Englishman, like me, with a way of thinking very much like my own, esp. on more philosophical/existential issues. Although, I don't share your enthusiasm for sport, or for DIVERSITY, which to me is Orwellian newspeak for a global melting pot.
A melting pot that is the destroyer of genuine human diversity, which you have experienced more of than most, & is a product of premodern "natural segregation", which Big Brother & his minions, to judge by their actions, must hate.
I used to like & read the Guardian, before being banned from their website for making ironic comments about DIVERSITY. Now I see it as one of Big Brother's most loyal & loving minions, which, judging by some of your remarks, I guess you are too.
I don't suppose you are interested, but I'm inviting you anyway to join me (an unrepentent Winston Smith) in an adventure to topple Big Brother from his throne, & reprogram #TheMatrix of state & capital, to which we are ALL - rich & poor alike - enslaved.
