HANGING WITH WHORES
For three months now I’ve been living with a prostitute. And, much like any job, over time, she has made friends with her fellow professionals. This means by default most of my recent nights in have been spent sitting around my living room with a bunch of whores, listening to them gossip over stories of differing brands of thrush creams and their ever-sagging labia.

I DESTROYED BANKSY'S RAT
A long time ago I lived in an old London warehouse with a guy called Steve, who was a questionable character and a cocktail of mental illnesses. Steve and I were both penniless and on the outside of our building, near our front door, was some graffiti: a Banksy rat. The most famous of Banksy’s work.

VICE VERSUS - RAGGARE
Babelgum's Vice Versus series continues with an episode on raggare. The raggare gangs are a subculture found in Sweden that started in the 50s, causing controversy and moral panic. Their ethos seems to revolve mainly around old cars, music, sex and beer. They ride around in their Chevys and hot rod cars with leather jackets and duck's-ass hair-dos playing pure rockabilly. Now they're uniting in Stockholm for their biggest ever annual power meet. Click to watch the movie.

NAKED BEHIND THE WALL
Reunification, woohoo! About a week ago Germany celebrated the 20th anniversary of this wall thing, with Bon Jovi and Domino Stones. However this just brought my mind back to the inexplicable differences between East Germans and West Germans. West Germans like Jurgen Klinsmann, East Germans like taking their clothes off in public.

THE VICE GUIDE TO GIVING HEAD
Before you even start this discussion you have to look at your budget. You have about twenty minutes of sex chips on any given night. If you spend fifteen chips sucking him off, he’s only got five chips left for humping. We suggest saving BJs for mornings and afternoons and period week; you still want to get laid.

DOs & DON’Ts
If I’d spent $10 billion on a jacket and $6 squillion on my face I’d expect to not look like Kaa from The Jungle Book in a tranny wig.

I WAS A CRIP ... SORT OF
I can’t be entirely certain but I’m pretty sure I was a member of the blue-wearing gang, the Crips, from 2001 to 2002. I was on a lot of drugs then and have a piss poor recollection of all things, but I got a good feeling I was in the gang. At the very least I was an honorary member. A pseudo-Crip, if you will.
