Tsunami Shmoonami
Unemployed and with no money-making work on the horizon, I got hammered in my local pub and returned to my flat and blurrily watched an emotive fund-raising advert for the survivors of the Tsunami.

I remember picking up the phone.

One day later, I remembered to check my bank balance... and cried.

One week later, I realised I would have to leave my flat and quite possibly become homeless.

One month later, I was living on the floor of the spare room in my friend's house. In Brighton. Thus effectively ending my career in London.

One year later, I got my life back together and revived my career.

Two years later, I read the news story 'hundreds of thousands of pounds raised in Britain did not even get to the people who needed it most following the Tsunami'.

I don't drink so much these days and I know someone somewhere got the remainder of my money.

"Unemployed and with no money-making work on the horizon"
Didn't sound like your career in London was doing too well at that point anyway, if I'm not being too harsh...
