:: A blank page
This page is intentionally left blank. But why? Do the blank pages tell us more than those festooned with font? I think they might, after all it is the space that we could have done something with. Seems like a wasted opportunity to me. Thought provoking and profound, or pointless...
Read More#65 Collect a million pennies
Why?….Why not? Running total – 14567 pennies. Key milestones: 100 (reached) – thanking you Michael Barton 1,000 (reached) – thanking you Valgard The Sceptic! 10,000 (reached) thanking you Sue, Sue and Julie too. First cheque sent to the NSPCC 🙂 100,000 1,000,000 Note: this isn’t just a clever way for me to bank £10,000. All penny donations will be passed on to my...
Read More#102 Strike gold
Time to go a prospecting! Strike gold is a little ambiguous in its title and for very good reason. Whilst I would happily pull out a gold pan and head off to the foothills of Krasnoyarsk in deepest Russia to start sifting, time and work commitments unfortunately interfere and some creative thinking is therefore required to make a start on #102!

Must be my underlying belief in karma, but I always like things to have a certain...

A bit random I know and this one was already on the list before my ex-wife threw down the gauntlet. Just like the “nobody puts baby in a corner” moment from Dirty Dancing, when it was suggested that I would be outsourcing my son’s birthday cake making it became akin to a red rag to a bull and within minutes I was searching internet images for construction themed birthday cakes...

Not really a lot to say about this one. November saw the onset of Movember and along with my Mo Bro’s at work some facial hair was grown for the 30 days of the 11th Month. Having only ever donned a few days stubble growth I was a little apprehensive about trying to reincarnate a ‘Reynolds’ or ‘Selleck’ on my upper lip. However, it was a month of true revelation...
Read More#1 Start a blog
The neverendinglist…a script for life! I like a challenge and when people tell me things can’t be done I like trying to do them. So lets make a start……”By setting ridiculous goals I may not always succeed in achieving them, but I will have some amazing experiences along the way.” – Neil Wyn-Jones. I just quoted myself! How pretentious is that, reckon...
