I worked with this guy at one time who told me after I’d arrived back off holidays that he had never been anywhere, which I thought quite absurd but I didn’t tell him that suffice to say.
But tell me honestly; how anyone could make such a statement I mean even if you went from the bedroom to the bathroom you were after being somewhere so how could you state that “I’ve never been anywhere”
Anywhere is a state of mind, if I travel from my home to the nearest town – approximately 12 miles I’ve been somewhere so I can’t with hand on heart say I in any given week that I haven’t been anywhere – agreed?
Perhaps you have other ideas if so do let me know I’d welcome them from anywhere in the world.
On receipt I can then announce that anywhere really does exist. This will go a long way to proving my point that nobody can ever say truthfully that they have never been anywhere ever again.
So next time someone asks you where do you wish to go on holidays just say surprise me, I’ll go anywhere once it’s with you.
You might even send me a postcard as I am contemplating going anywhere for a break after the festivities.

Preferred reading - Autobiographies, the history of the native American Indian, plays golf badly according to those he plays with/against. Continues to try and write each day/night by giving the sawdust a shake and seeing what falls out - an eclectic taste in music, spent 16 happy years as a radio presenter in a part time capacity while "slaving" away at the coal face now enjoying all that retirement has to offer and more. Twitters badly @CJBlack2012, on Soundcloud @ C. J. Black & chris black 36, youtube @Chris Black-poetry-spoken word. You can find his "work" at http://www.chrisblack2012.com - very original? When he comes up with a fresher idea you will be the first to know. If you do happen to drop by either site do let him know your thoughts, who you are and where you come from - He will in time also pay you a return visit. Thank you.
