The drive of your life-saver
05 January 2004. Inspired by .
Benefits of being an ambulance driver include:
• Working outside in the fresh air, I don't know how office workers put up with air conditioning.
• Driving on the wrong side of the road with blue lights and sirens going, it's not the speed its the power
• Being able to poke around people houses and feel superior even though you haven't done the washing up for two days.
• No matter how annoying the patient is, knowing that within twenty minutes it'll be the hospitals problem.
• Meeting lots of lovely nurses, and knowing that I get paid more than them.
• And on the rare occasion being able to help people who are scared or in pain.

Happy new year and welcome back. After a festive season stuffed with tranquility and overflowing with relaxation gravy, I'm back in Barcelona and back to whatever approximation this is to real life.
Some of the things I brought back from Cuba are nearly ready, and just as soon as I've sorted out a slight server space problem they'll be online for your delectation.
Also nearly done: the corrected first edition of Barçabook (now with fewer spelling mistakes!) and the latest edition of shiny free-internationally-if-you-order-online design magazine M-real (Launch) should be out around now too.
I also implore Americans to speak softly and carry an almanac.
In the meantime, there's just time to do what I do every week.
Try to take over the world.
