Reading back, I realise I have been documenting my actions far more than my thoughts and feelings recently. Primarily, this is because I have been confused as of late; uncertain as to who I am and my position in life, let alone my ambitions and the progress I may or may not being making towards ful...

When it comes to exercise (and indeed life in general), I believe people can push themselves far harder than they think they can. I believe people - myself included - set their personal expectations too low, rarely try as hard as they think they are trying, and give up too easily. I believe pe...

According to the Native American calendar, the 22nd of March will see the end of the Wolf Month and the start of the Month of the Falcon. Oh, it will also be two year to the day since I started this blog... In honour of this tradition of naming months after kickass animals (as well as some disappo...

You know that feeling when you invest every penny you have in a classic 1978 Datsun 260z, pay thousands reconstructing it over 18 months and then, just as you've got it working properly, some coward drives into it whilst it is parked and flees the scene, apparently not realising they’ve hit it so ...

Further to my last, light-hearted post about having to abandon my car, I do hope whoever managed to smash into it, pushing it off the road and into this sign has the decency to report it or get in touch. I'm quite pleased though, because I had just had it fixed and was wondering what to spend my tho...

WOE IS ME. Here is my story for the local newspaper, the Daily Grind: Snow Reason to Panic Bloody disgrace, Lisa. A little bit of snow and the whooooole country grinds to a halt! All over Britain,copywriters like this idiot are taking their 35 year old sports cars down frozen country paths and...

In fact, I'm going to head down the road to Wycombe Wanders' football stadium, slip on some spilled beans and claim massive compensation...you know...sue-a-s...

Continue reading ...Back in August, I posted this photo of my car, a rare 1977/78 Datsun 260z, which I had just got back on the road. It had just spent 9 weeks in a garage, having £1200 of work done to it, whilst I went through two motorbikes... Then I got it back and took it DRIVIN'! Then my starter motor went and...

My own feelings on this event aside, I thought I'd spend a couple of minutes writing about my thoughts on the Christmas in general. Christmas, no matter what they tell you, has nothing ...

This is what every single news outlet said prior to this performance (and for so...

I know I don't call you very often, but it has been too long and it's getting uncomfortable, especially at night when I'm trying to sleep. I don't know exactly what I'm going to ask you to do, but you'...

In that time, I have done the following: Bought one motorbike Written off one motorbike Rented one motorbike Had one motorbike stolen Had one motorbike repaired Fallen off a motorbike when taking a...

I am also not in the slightest bit interested to learn anything about these subjects, just as I haven't the slightest interest in U.K. politics past or present. It ...

Frankly, there just aren't enough hours in the day... Then again, you try looking this guy in the face and telling him "I'm too t...

I've worn it pretty much every single day for 4.5 years. It was also the conversation starter by which I introduced myself to ...
