Memory loss...

I'm telling you, writing this F1 2010 Season Review from memory was a bad idea. Can you remember every driver in every team? Can you remember every circuit in every country? Can you remember every overtaking move and every point scored?
I'm buggered if I can. The Review is going to be full of holes and inconsistancies (and badly spelt). But I'm going to Carry On Regardless.

Do you ever get deja vu?

F1 to come

The F1 2010 Season Review that I should have written has just been started and it's already looking to grow too big for one blog post. Looks like I'll be publishing a couple of blogs after all.

Fake Tweeter

Well, well, well, who would have thought my Fake Twitter account would turn out to be more popular than me? But it's true, it has nearly 50% more followers than I do. And not only that, many fellow tweeters like to have a conversation with my alter ego, chatting about personal details, likes/dislikes and having a laugh.

Allow me to introduce Sleeps All Winter, my teddy bear.




He can be found on Twitter as @SleepsAllWinter and uses the hashtag #FollowTheBear.

Surprisingly, he is not alone. There are many other soft toys and pets accounts on Twitter, half of which are barking(!) Sleeps All Winter has befriended lots of new Anipals (soft toys are the best) as well as following ordinary people, which Sleepy likes to call Humates.

If you have a Twitter account, take the time to say hello to @SleepsAllWinter and #FollowTheBear ;)

New year

So, it's 2011. A brand new year, full of promise and hope that this year will be better than the last. But not me. I happen to be more than content with the way last year panned out. It hasn't all been sweetness and light for my family and myself but all in all last year was a pretty good year and if 2011 goes as well as 2010, then I'll be a happy man.

Gonna ride my bike

Since the snow hit London just before Christmas, I've been neglecting my bicycle. I used to ride into work every day, come rain or shine but I've fallen into a routine of getting the train instead. It's only three stops on the Metropolitan line so you must be thinking how lazy I am but nothing could be further from the truth. I love riding my bike. It gives me a sense of freedom and speed which nothing else does. So what's the problem?

Well. My front gears don't engage, my chain is stretched and the pedals spin when starting off (potentialy family jewel damaging) and feels like shit on all but three gears (four if I'm lucky) and my rear tyre has a slow flat.

Conclusion: I need to get my bike fixed.
