I’m a nerd who likes looking at stuff like domain names and private car registration plates. I’m also a megalomaniac and often search for my own name in these things. Through this, I randomly discovered a bar in a foreign country that shares my name. Awesome.
I contacted them, basically saying my name is the same as their bar olol, and that’s it. The owner sent me a beer menu and pricelist. They brew their own beer and it also has my name! I asked if they had glasses with the name of the bar on, and how much shipping to England would be. He did indeed have customised glasses but it turned out shipping was very expensive so I said thanks but no thanks.
He said he had a friend, Leslie from the village, coming to England who could bring me a glass. We arranged to meet up at a service station not too far from my house. I missed the message he sent when he arrived in England and by the time I’d seen it, he was in his new home quite far away from me.
I really want that glass. In one of the landlord’s messages he said ‘your beer is on its way’ so maybe it’s not just a glass. His English isn’t great though so maybe he got mixed up. Only one way to find out, really - I’ll drive to him.
Leslie sent me his address. It’s 2 hours and 14 minutes from my house. It’s 126 miles from my house. That’s a 252 mile, or a 4 hour and 34-minute round trip. For a glass. A glass with my name on from a bar with my name in a foreign country though.

So, on Tuesday I will leave my house at 8am and drive to Leslie. Hopefully I don’t get bummed, or worse.
Predictions?
