Sion Barry's World

THE world's worst Aussie accent dedicated to the Holly Bush duo who actually started the global credit crunch by defaulting on their student loans: it had nothing to do with the toxic debtors in the US!

Breakfast: Middle Earth bowl of Weetabix with a sprinkling of porridge oats with semi-skimmed cold milk.

Lunchbox: 4 ham sandwiches Nectarine Grapes and strawberries in the smaller lunchbox pictured above. Random Thought Someone likes snails and painting their nails They live nearby, but I'm not quite sure where Give me a call as I would like to talk

One was a hedge fund manager from the Cayman Islands who said he had left his wife for Twitter. Another was a young woman called Candy from Kansas... I have no idea why she was there as she didn't speak for the whole two weeks, at a former monastery in deepest Devon. There was even talk towards the end of a crash course in Cornish, but by then I had run out of cash. Torrential rain here in South Wales most of this week. I remember as a kid in the 1970s we hardly had any rain in August. But I have been walking to work; arriving very wet, but in the grand scheme of things just fine. I have taken a few lunch boxes too. Random Thought: Dear Mr Phelps, Can we have a chat? You see a few years ago I sold off ...
