Feeling Nostalgic

I was in the gym today thinking about how in a few weeks time I’ll have everything I ever need or have ever wanted for coaching and training, and I began to feel sad. Y’know there’s something romantic about making do with what little you have. When we were renting a scout hall for a … Continue reading

If you are not excited about this then you have lost the will to live…

So I can finally go public. This is the real deal ladies and gents. This will be the best facility any of you have ever trained in. We are going all out on this so I hope you can come along.

The Missing List

Are you on it? I try not to whine and moan too much, I don’t like people who do. But sometimes I just feel the need to vent. Since the time I started coaching, I’ve tried to compete alongside it. It’s not always easy, most of the time it’s really hard and I have to … Continue reading

4 weeks to go

I’m at home today looking after my son who has the chickenpox so I have some time to be introspective. If you’re not willing to be bored to tears, look away now. I don’t compete because … Continue reading

What was the name of that movie?

There was a movie, based on a Stephen King book I’m pretty sure, and in it the machines all came alive and began attacking the humans. Can’t remember the name and I’m too damn lazy to go to imdb.com The point is that my machines are now attacking me. Last month my mobile phone clapped … Continue reading

If a man was to compare the single stroke of the pickaxe, or of one … Continue reading
