I thought I might over the next few weeks entertain you with some tales from further back in my life - my pre cub days in London.

There I met some mad, bad and downright freaky men and got involved in some bizarre situations. There'll be some laugh out loud moments and some where you'll just go Oh My God! did that really happen?

Fireside Tales will be my occasional interlude posts and may even read like a book when all put together.
