Good Day Everyone! Your good ol’ faithful admin here to give Mr. Ydir the day off. I know, I know… you’d all rather be reading this post imagining a wonderfully delightful British accent.

Have you ever wanted to set a world record for sliding in your socks? If you are like me you had probably never even thought of it, but Sainsbury’s (a UK super market) is holding sock sliding events in a number of locations across the UK in order to promote sport relief socks. If you buy a pair [...]
Hello sorry for the lack of blog over the past few days, I was having a few ‘technical’ issues, mostly due to a lack of sleep. Anyway, I’ll get on with the job in hand which is telling people (or companies or films or anything else) that they are doing a good job, and awarding them [...]

I know some cyclists can be incredibly inconsiderate, but so can some motorists, likewise some pedestrians. We all need to get somewhere and your somewhere is not more (or [...]
Now this a great idea, and another one of those projects that I feel is my duty to let people know about, and this one is dead easy to get involved in! The big lunch is an eden project (another great idea, that I’m sure will get a proper mention at some point, as it deserves more than just a [...]
