Disappointed (part 2) – The London Marathon organisers
It’s the point and laugh blog. Point and laugh at me. Point and laugh at the idiots like me. The ones who trained for months to try and beat a target.

How was it for you? A 2017 Retrospective
Disclaimer: This is MY review so it'll be disjointed, make no sense and all that malarkey. And so be it. Some highlights, some lowlights and a monthly blog quote. Settle down and prepare to be annoyed. It's that time of the year, that time when we look back with a mixture of smugness, disappointment, joy, … Continue reading How was it for you?

London, can you wait?
You know I didn’t realise how long it had been since my last blog. I’ve been busy. Really busy like you wouldn’t believe. Also had a wee injury set back but back on the horse now. Did manage to take my unfortunately more substantial frame (thank you Chocolate Orange n Fry’s creams…) round the club … Continue reading London, can you wait?
Stay Loose – the catch up blog(s)
Well it's been the GSR since my last blog. Due to a combination of a heavy workload and then a wee break away I haven't had the opportunity to do any blogs, though in my head I have had about 4 or 5 already written.
