gym 3 times a week for weight training, watch the odd game of football, support Sunderland, but we won't discuss that after saturday's result. :oops: Reading,gardening and surfing the 'net.
I will raise my head above the parapet as another Mackem, in the rather dim and dubious light of a last minute win on saturday
Oh and i also keep chickens :shock:
We are born with the dead:
See, they return, and bring us with them.
running,gym ,taking kids out,learning guitar.acoustic and bass +work 3 shifts lol+wouldnt mind a crack a t triathlon.-when i take kids swimming maybe i could practice the swimming bit lol
as cycling is now starting to take me over i shall try to remember what else i used to do before this happened.
The other thing taking over my life is work - the clever bastards gave me the job which i always wanted - Environmental Manager. Now I work every hour they let me - developing policy, finding intiatives, persuading our staff to be eco friendly, etc. and there's the added benefit that I cycle to all my site visits these days.
aprt from that - i write a Blog - and have been for 5 years or so trying to write quite a serious book about modern history but keep getting side-tracked.
Music - always have an MP3 player with me - so much more convenient than lugging around CDs - now I always have my music library with me wherever I go.
Gigs - these days I mostly go to see The Fall, Gary Numan, and visiting American country acts.
Reading - I've always got about 5 books on the go.
Film - get through about 3 or 4 films a week.
comedy - there's nothing that beats live stand-up in a little club.
Fortean stuff - weirdness has always been an obsession of mine from being into UFOs when I was 11, to now - interested in conspiracy theories - where do they come from - why do people believe them - are any of them true?
sit around worrying that i should be out training, or at least on the turbo. :oops:
Oh and try to lose weight.
You could always update your blog.
What can i say, you are right my friend. I have been remiss and unworthy in my task as blog master. I shall endeavour to update after training tonight.8)

Run a company
Admire the wife
Look after the slightly OTT garden ("extreme" gardening)
As of Monday, I did my first bit of film work. Got a call to take part in the combat scenes for the new Ridley Scott / Russell Crowe Blockbuster Nottingham (Robin Hood). Trip down to Pinewood Studios and a couple of hours spent in the watter tank battering some Frenchie for God and St George!

Hats? :?
See, they return, and bring us with them.
I wish I could claim that as all my own work, however It is stolen from an email I was once sent.
The legend is that some kid put all of this on his application for university in the states. I think it is a classic.
I did once put it on my self assessment form at my previous company just before I was planning to leave anyway.
Loved the look on the directors face!
So the search for my identical brother goes on
My lad is applying to university at the moment. I don't think i'll share it with him. Knowing him he'd probably use it .
See, they return, and bring us with them.
