Jedi don't believe it!


Check this out!

I always said Darth Vader was just a load of hot air!

Amazing!

That's not a knife!


Is this for real?

It is a £500 Swiss Army Knife with 85 gadgets and 109 features and it weighs 14 stone!

I have no idea why you would ever purchase this.

The idea of the Swiss Army Knife was it had lots of uses in a very small package. This is bigger than a toolbox!

Pointless, pointless, pointless?

Let me know if you think not.

Look what the stork brought us.


Pete and i have had a baby.

Please please please go and have a look at beautiful Theresa, and take in the story of our love!

Congratulations all round i think.

Unboxing you say.


What sort of man am i?

I have only just uncovered unboxing!

What a brilliant brilliant thing!

Unboxing is basically normal everyday average people filming themselves unboxing things and then uploading them to YouTube.

Go and have a look for yourself.

They really capture that moment when you get through the cellophane and touch the box for the first time.

Awesome!

I am not average!

I was rather excited this morning, for I found out that I am not in any way average!

When you get off the train at Waterloo probably 400 people are shepherded into a very small space. This morning I chose to take note of a lot of the people who I was being corralled with, and I am happy to say I am far from average.


Fig 1. Average Man?

Most men around me wore glasses, had short hair, with some product, regardless of age, were indeed my height, that is average, wore a blue or grey suit, had a smallish head, non-tanned skin and generally looked very very similar, but didn't look like me.

Thanks Michael and John Aver'age, you have made me happy and this cold summers morning.

The Large Hadron Collide

Make sure you say goodbye to all your loved ones on Wednesday morning, as the earth might very well have turned inside out by Wednesday lunchtime.

Have you heard about The Large Hadrom Collide?


This is just part of it.

A bunch of scientists have built one of the biggest experiements ever (27 km's long) to see if they can replicate The Big Bang. So hold on top your hats.

By 'end of play' Wednesday we might all be molten plasma. Cool.

I would totally love to be the person who flicks a little 99p plastic switch to turn it on.

'Ok Steve.....in 3....2....1.....' ~click~ (Steve shuts eyes, tight)

Good luck everyone, let's hope we make it to Thursday to see Nicholas Lyndhurst in Goodnight Sweetheart, it's the one where Gary is summoned to court in the present day to answer drink-driving charges resulting from a binge in 1941, one of my favourites.

See ya.

Trek off!


I went on my first trekking expedition, yes I think we could call it that, over the weekend and my how I enjoyed it.

Myself and 2 other budding explorers, Mr Bonnington and Mr Hillary set off into the shadows of Snowdonia to conquer one of its many peaks.

With tents, food and unfortunately no insect repellent we took on Cader Idirs, a 3000 foot mountain laying south of Snowdon itself, and might I say we conquered. It really was the most amazing 24 hours period.

It was so amazing knowing you had everything you needed to survive whatever the weather, and in true Himalayan style, we even stopped for a cup of tea before taking on the main summit.

The downside to the entire event was that I have been bitten over 100 times, most are on my head so people probably think I have some disease. I have got through a big tube of Savlon in the last 12 hours.

Anyway, get out there, do it.

Trekking is the best thing I have done for ages! Loved every minute of it and can wait for the next assault.
