Give me your money !

On 18th September I am taking part in one of those ‘old-stupid-people-doing-things-they-should-know-better-than-to-do’ type event for the purposes of

• having fun
• raising money

I’m part of a team that will compete for a day in the wilds of Scotland to raise money for charidee and have some fun.

The challenge involves cycling, running, orienteering and river rafting in Scotland against other corporate teams.

My team is called Kid Creola and the CocoKnuts and we would be very grateful for your help. So, in the time honoured tradition I am asking for money, doesn’t matter how much anything will do.

As an added incentive, if you sponsor my team and you email me to let me know you’ve done it with the donating name, amount, date and time (use the email address on the bottom right) then, IF our team wins the first prize (which is a skiing holiday) I will donate my personal place to the person who has donated the most to our team.

So, if you would be willing to sponsor us to help with our fund raising in aid of the Prince’s Trust, we have a Just Giving Website which you can click on to donate.

Please don’t feel obliged in any way and any amount no matter how small helps, you can also remain anonymous.

I am officially old..

Well, I made it (just). I celebrated 40 years on this earth on Saturday just gone.. I was lucky enough to be surrounded by a lot of people I like, some I love and one I created.. oh and Howard Graham !

Rather than go-on about it I’ll let you make your mind up for yourselves as to whether it was a good night. I enjoyed it, and I guess, as the birthday boy, thats all that should matter.. but it’s always nice to see other people enjoying themselves (or at least giving that impression).

..and for those people who are wondering, hog roasts are definitely to be recommended. Loads and loads of fresh roasted pig, with coleslaw, stuffing, apple sauce and salad mmmm

Why I learnt to Cave Dive..

The formations on this video are mind blowing, I hope to go here some day. For those of you who know me and ask why you would go cave diving, check out this video and all should become clear.. Apologies for the shite music (you know where the volume button is)

Sailing in Tenerife

Just got back from a short break sailing in Tenerife.. Had a great time, weather was hot (damn hot) and managed to get a couple of days good sailing in.. Obviously had a few beers too Unfortunately, couldn’t manage to organise any diving.. ahh well – can’t win em all !

What is a browser ?

I guess sometimes it’s good to remember that most people in the world don’t know (and don’t care) about the semantic differences in many areas of technology. Not knowing the difference between a browser and a search engine is (I guess) a little too subtle for most. I’d also imagine that if carried out in the UK the survey results would be very similar. Although the responses would be something along the lines of “Brawser ? s’google, innit mate ? av it large ‘n all dat”
