All my money is tied up in cash

http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/citi-soars-after-us-steps/story.aspx?guid=15A026EC-CEA0-4C82-92EC-199B794F0968&dist=SecMostMailed

Immensely relieved to see Citibank shares back on the way up, though my Citibank Hungarian account hasn’t been affected. (Over the years, the Jet Set HoBo’s impostures have even extended as far as financial institutions). The balance is still running at $16.48, just as it was a couple of weeks ago when Citibank joined the litany of recent financial implosions. Sometimes, one doesn’t know how one does it; gets around so much that is. Below a little video sample of how I spend it when I’ve got it; in this case on a teaser or trailer for a comedy series called Accent on Film. It’s named that in part because it’s intended to be a parody of a show business report, with an accent on film. And also because almost everyone associated with it has some kind of OUTRAGEOUS accent!

    What’s the interest rate on that Hungarian account? I might just move some cash there… way safer than the local Citi branch here.

    Er, well, I’ve just been looking online because a guy who has sixteen dollars and forty-eight cents (in that particular account) is not too well versed in things like interest rates.

    Oh and I couldn’t find an answer, except (I think) in Hungarian!

    About Me

    I have never worked as a secret agent, but I did play one on TV: KGB spy Sergei Kukushkin in mini series The Company. More recently I played a debauched aristocrat in a tasty short film called Last Night in Buenos Aires. I was also the voice of the monster Buffalord in the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, believe it or not. In 'real life' I am a Travel Writer, Scriptwriter, After-Dinner Speaker, Entrepreneur and man-about-many-towns who has written and produced television for Fox Networks UK, the UK Sci-Fi Channel and New Zealand animation facility The Funny Farm. I have also edited or contributed to numerous guidebooks, to cities like Buenos Aires, Florence and London - as well as dear old Budapest of course. Between December and February I was Guest Editor at Time Out Beirut. I have also been fortunate enough to write about travel (and whatever else moves me) for True/Slant as 'The Jet-Set Hobo.' Well, it seemed a fun way to sum up what might laughingly be referred to as my lifestyle, and the label has stuck. There are worse appellations, don't you think?

    What I'm Up To

    The Wildcats of Piran

    pirancatIt may seem an odd occupation for a globe-trotting, nightlife loving bachelor, but over the last few months, I’ve been writing a children’s book called The wild cats of Piran. It’s about a colony of feral cats who live in a small medieval town on the Adriatic sea. The book is intended to appeal to very bright 9 year olds and up. The sort of thing a bookish, cat loving adult could enjoy whipping through in a long afternoon sitting in a snug armchair by an open fire. A great believer in letting the work speak for itself, if you’re at all interested, I suggest you contact the author directly, here and I’ll send you the first few chapters as an attachment. Thank you for listening.
