... be it into a car, a plane, or even to the video game shop. Good evening everyone. Things are a little busy at Economy Class and Beyond Towers (more than usual recently), and this isn't helping on top of an extremely busy week in the office: Yes. I got my hands on a copy of Pokemon Alpha Sapphire. Didn't you know I was a bit of a Pokemon fan? No? Head to my Paris … [Read more...]
Goodbye GhettoIFE… and Hello Economy Class and Beyond!
Time for a bit of blog admin - and something rather important. One of my readers noticed something I posted on Twitter I was at BAcon this year: Well @bigmalx.... it's a little more complex than that. Some back story. On the 15th May 2009, I fired up Blogger.com and created a blog. That blog is pretty much the one you've been reading today - GhettoIFE.com The Original … [Read more...]
Changes at GhettoIFE over the next few weeks
Good afternoon on this Bank Holiday evening gentle reader. Thank you first for bearing with my bad typing, poor grammar over the past few months and years (I'm improving it one post at a time... try being dyslexic - doesn't help, even with all the spell checkers and grammar checkers in the world... it's even more fun when they argue amongst each other). Now, onto the matter … [Read more...]
If my typing and writing seems worse than normal…
... that's because it is. Regular readers know my grammar and spelling isn't too hot to begin with. However, things at GhettoIFE towers have taken a turn for worse, with the four-year old laptop I use (A 2009 MacBook Pro) suffering a keyboard failure - bizarrely with the letters S and W not responding to commands. So much so, I've got a GhettoMacBook Pro at the moment (and … [Read more...]
And… we’re back in the room!
And... we're back in the room ladies and gentlemen. With a swathe of fellow bloggers, it's been fun and games this weekend - with some of us not being able to post. Well the bad news is the issue has been fixed, and I'm back to write lots of things that might be of some interest to you all. Such as this one! Like Lucky, I actually missed blogging this weekend, sharing … [Read more...]
Changes at GhettoIFE for a bit…
Over the past few months I've had the axe of redundancy hovering far too close over my neck. Thankfully last month, I got another job - and will be gainfully employed elsewhere from today. The upside for you all is that more trip reports and more travelling will occur, with all the hilarity you would expect of a GhettoIFE trip report. After all, who else on Boarding Area … [Read more...]
Kung Hei Fat Choi!
And a happy Chinese New Year to all my readers. The coming of Chinese New Year is marked by many things - red lanterns, firecrackers, red packets and of course - travel so that families can reunite for the New Year period. And the travel part normally applies to me as I normally head to my parents for the weekend. Alas this year, other things have conspired against … [Read more...]
Limited updates ahead
Hi all. Due to a catastrophic failure on my computer, there will be limited updates for the next few days. If I'm lucky, I could be online tomorrow. If I'm not... Well I'll see. Apologies, but this is way beyond my control at this time (and updating using the phone app is a pain up the jacksie) Thanks for your understanding. … [Read more...]
2000 Posts – A restrospective and a note of thanks
On the 20th May 2009, I started up a little blog on Blogger called GettoIFE. Then I realised I spelt it wrong and put the 'H' in, to make it GhettoIFE.com. I thought it'd be useful to put some of my travel thoughts down, give an outlet to those thoughts, mix in my bad sense of humour and sarcasm, whilst covering some points of travel that aren't covered through the … [Read more...]
BLOG ADMIN: A message to the grammar checkers out there.
Dear Grammar and English Checkers out there. What you’ll find in this blog is a poor collection of language and execution of the English Language for which I can only apologise. I however ask for moment of silence and some of your understanding as I explain my thoughts… and some issues I have - and have to muddle through most days. For some of us, it is very hard to … [Read more...]
