Fat Burning Results for Karen…

Posted on February 8, 2013

I had a message this morning from one of my adoring fans (Karen Edwards) asking why I had never published the spread sheet containing the results of my fat burning attempt that was inspired by a Horizon documentary last year (See the original post here). Well, the truth Karen, and indeed anyone else who may be interested, there really was nothing worth publishing, as these fast-track diets do not go hand in hand with 8 pints on a Friday night ...

Kettles & Blues Bands

Posted on February 6, 2013

I had an interesting night yesterday evening, managing to do two hours coaching with the Oakley Colts along with burning out a kettle and going to The Dove in Micheldever to watch a blues band with my friends Steve and Jilly.

Gazza is the same ...

Whilst Beckham should be commended for giving money to charity (a total ...

One Night in Colchester…

Posted on January 27, 2013

When I go to Colchester to visit my friend Stuart, it is like walking outside on a frosty morning and taking a huge lungful of fresh air. This is because like me, Stuart is single, and also like me, Stuart has the words "Epic Fail" printed next to his relationship status. Yet again, like me, Stuart has tried things like online dating agencies and discovered that they can be, if not approached carefully, a heady cocktail of heartache, disappoin...
