Local people of High Wycombe and the surrounding area, please pay attention! This Saturday (2nd of June) will see the proper return to power of Murorga Sim Bowa - wrestling's most baffling combination of super heroics and unbridled rage, at EWA Revenge. Staring at 18:30 at Wycombe Judo centre,...

That's right; it took just 11 days for somebody to crash into me Being the supportive type, people are telling me how lucky I am to have got out of the incident unscathed. They're right, of course. O...
Continue reading ...Friends, I have come to a realisation. Life, it turns out, is short. Very short. FAR too short to spend it sitting at a desk, day-dreaming of all the marvellous things there are to do in the world...that you aren't doing. As I was stamping my way up the Three Peaks, it suddenly occurred to m...
Continue reading ...I know this has nothing to do with sport but, after a good six weeks or so of searching and stressing out, I have finally found AND PURCHASED my first motorcycle! No longer am I a founding member of Bearhawks Motorcycle Club...without a bike... The elongated wait and huge amount of inconvenience...

At 08:30 we awoke, less magnificently than the day before, but still pretty magnificently, in the car. Having spent 8 hours driving 311 miles until 04:00, but failing to find anywhere to stay, we eventually pulled into a car park, reclined our seats and alternately frozen and boiled our way into the...

At 08:30 we awoke, magnificently, in Truck Haven. After conquering Snowdon the night before, we had set out at midnight for Scafell Pike, covering 150 miles of our 216-mile drive before practically falling asleep at the wheel. Two enormous breakfasts later, we were back on the road, wending our w...

Bored with the lack of adventure of everyday life, Simon and I decided to climb the three peaks. We also decided that, given our love for food, beer and epic bleak photography, we didn't want to rush up and down in 24 hours, as is traditional. Instead, we set out for a long weekend of conquering...
Continue reading ...As Champion of Murderbeers, my responsibilities are vast and never-ending. Quash a rebellion here, fend off the Ice Giants there; if it's not killing one thing, it's conquering another. So, when the Emperor looked out from Murder Mount and realised that England, Scotland and Wales ALL have tal...

I'm about to set foot on an hour long tube to my car, so I can dri...
Continue reading ...After shooting a successful series of BrewDog Beer Cocktail pictures for Zoo Magazine last week, they asked me back to photograph their brew day. Luckily, I was due to be in London anyway , so I was totally up for it. Unluckily, I woke up on a floor, after a night of partying in Brent Cross - damn...
Continue reading ...After a blissful 5 hours of sleep last night, I have now been awake for about 20 hours. It started with a drive to Maidenhead and a train to London. I then conducted a case study with Sense Cost Consultants, which I spent the day writing up. I then proceeded to the BrewDog bar in Camden, where ...
Continue reading ...Today, I made three decisions. 1. Having flown home from Portugal yesterday - where I did nothing at all for 10 days - I decided it was time to get back to the gym. 2. Having seven potential evening training sessions per week, in various types of combat, I decided to start going to the gym in th...

A month ago, I declared that I had returned to entertainment wrestling. Well, here are my first few minutes back in the ring! [youtube height="360" width="640"]www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4882doAU_g[/youtube] Or here, from a different camera angle: [youtube height="360" width="640"]www.youtube...

Of course, I'm not really very good and doing nothing. Luckily, nor is my dad! As such, I'm confident there will be running, football and fea...

As I write is, I am standing just outside the Olympic Stadium for the London 2012 Games...waiting to walk inside and run the 100m. How exactly I have ended up here is unclear. I do, however, know it involved dozens of generous people, all of whom I can't thank enough for everything they have donate...
Continue reading ...As I sit here, at the Bounty pub, the sun warming my aching back and illuminating my beer like a shit lava lamp, I am content for the first time since I came back from my inhuman adventure in Poland. It isn't just because I am wearing my favourite (and only) tailor-made, black silk shirt. It isn't ...
Continue reading ...Although there is a certain confidence that comes from knowing you can hold your own in a fight, that isn't the point of combat training - not for me, anyway. Recently, whilst training, I was struck by how odd what I was doing must seem to people who have never trained in combat. I thought it woul...
Continue reading ...I was born in High Wycombe. I grew up in High Wycombe. Between 2005 and 2009 I lived away, then I came back. Not through choice, I should add. All my life, I've known about Wycombe Judo Centre. When I was a tiny child, my mum took me there to learn gymnastics. (For those who are interested, I ...
Continue reading ...As part of the Gold Challenge, I have to do some gymnastics. Officially, they want me to do trampolining, but it's just not as easy as you might think to find a nearby trampolining club that is also happy to let hairy, angry-looking men stroll in and 'have a try'. Instead, therefore, I set myself...
