Maldives II

I am currently writing from the sunlounger next to our personal plunge pool/jacuzzi.  Kathryn is currently at the Spa enjoying a deep cleansing facial treatment and should be there for the next hour or so. Yesterday we both treated ourselves to a revitalizing treatment that included a foot bath, body scrub, all over deep massage, […]

Holidays, Kathryn, wedding

Maldives

Well, I usually leave the blogs for Dave to write, but have decided its time for me to give a quick update (nothing to do with the fact that Dave is currently out swimming in the reef with all the wonderful fish!, will get to that a little later). I didn’t think we could trump

We’re in Dubai

The first bit of our honeymoon is 4 days in Dubai staying at the 5-star Jumeirah Beach.  It has to be said that as hotels go it is a class above anything we’ve ever stayed in. Closest we could get would be the Royal Caribbean ship we cruised on but this outdoes even that.  And

Happiest Day of my Life

Taking over from Palace’s play off final victory in 2004 as my best ever day, yesterday I married Kathryn Louise Hopkins.   It truly was the most fantastic day in so many ways.

15 days till the wedding – Our existence permitting

There are 15 days to go until Kathryn and I get married and we’re really looking forward to it even if we have a seemingly never ending number of things still to do. However, this is all of course depend on whether the new Hadron Collider in will destroy us all on Wednesday. Fingers crossed

Google goes Chrome

In a move that suprised me quite a bit Google have announced their own web browser.  Pitches directly in competion with IE and Firefox but apparently designed from scratch to suit today’s modern web user – or some such waffle – it works a bit differently. Google have even come out with a comic to

Minor updates

Two quick updates to my last two posts. We did the Human Race along with many thousands of others and despite what I said about an injury I managed a new PB – 49 minutes 25 seconds is almost another 2 minutes off my previous best.  I guess the rest I’d had did me good.

Transfer Deadline Day

It comes around twice a year but always has the ability to cause a stir. It can make people dare to dream and hope but more often than not ultimately ends in disappointment. At the tail end of every August and January internet using football supporters sit glued in front of the BBC home page
