Haven’t done an actual race for a while for reasons I could probably explain, but not without feeling a disturbance in the force, so let’s just say I’m a bit ‘disenchanted’ with events in general at the moment, and leave it as a story for another day. Or never.
When 80s artists like Go West and Nik Kershaw comes to town now, you can be fairly certain I’ll be busting out something non-age appropriate, limbering up for some embarrassing dance moves, (no need to call an ambulance, I’m fine, that’s just how I dance), and off I go.
I know people have been posting about all sorts of things for New Years, from matchy matchy outfits to the parties they went to, the nice places they were, wrap ups of the year, sometimes their most popular social posts, and quite often some sort of outlook for the year ahead. Also, for obvious reasons, there's been more than a few 'thank fuck that's over' sentiments because let's be honest, the last few years have been a lot. In so many ways. For so many people.
What? Me a twitcher? Didn’t see that coming? That’s OK, neither did I. Much like people don't see me coming now my idea of high fashion is dressing like a shrub. And like most things I’ve done in my life, there was no real plan it just sort of… happened. One day you’re a perfectly [...]

Every year for the last however many years I decide running a half marathon at 6am on Christmas morning is a good idea and every year when I get up at 4am to get ready I think what. the actual. fuck? I promise myself I won't be so stupid to do it again the following [...]
As 2020 comes to a close, I suspect for a lot of us, it’s an opportunity to search for positives in what’s been a fucking dumpster fire of a year. It’ll be easy to get caught up in the social proof that 2020 was a complete write-off, and for you, it may well have been. [...]
Telling stories is never as much fun when people can’t laugh at all the shit that goes wrong, and after a few days of amazing craziness and plenty of things going a bit tits up as has been known to happen on my adventures, our final day, which is the one after the one that [...]
Fuck I hate hypocrites. Even if I'm one myself at times. Meh, it happens. I tell people to be kind, but also tell people to fuck off. Hey, we all have our moments. And sometimes, compared to what I'd really like to say, a run of the mill 'fuck off' is me being kind. [...]
