No but he's hijacked my Google ranking which I don't appreciate.

I think it's about a desire to be a part of what came before us that isn't mediated. You know, museums are cool but it's frustrating sometimes, not being able to touch stuff or make up your own stories about why it's important. I write more about it (much more obscurely) here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/76060453/Assaying-History-Creating-Temporal-Junctions-Through-Urban-Exploration

Oh yeah and buy this book rather than mine: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Access-All-Areas-Users-Exploration/dp/0973778709

We explored this abandoned Russian submarine in the middle of a river. Had to take a little inflatable dinghy out to it. Halfway there, it started hissing and we were going down. We made it to the sub (barely) but then snapped off an oar trying to stop the boat. Got in and the then the girl I was with smacked her head and I had to carry her out - only to find the tide had gone out and we were stuck. Awesome night, full of blood and mud and fear.

Having to get a real job.
