#Janathon Day 6: Turbo is Back!
Remember the days when everything came in red with ‘Turbo’ written on it? Aftershave, sunglasses, computer games, T-shirts, caps, electric guitars… and Mk 1 Vauxhall Cavaliers with aftermarket stickers on the back… Ahh, the 80’s… Turbocharged cars had hit the mass-market and … Continue reading
#Janathon Day 5: I Got Chills

#Janathon Day 29: Tom, Come back!
Today I took up an invitation for a lunchtime run with Tom from Comms. Tom is famous for two things: his insane modesty and his insane speed. Put it this way, my pegging it at full sprint is equal to … Continue reading
#Janathon Day 26: So Called Storm Thingy
As I was driving home today, Sally Traffic was full of tales of woe and destruction: Storm thingy that buried the East Coast of America under six feet of snow at the weekend was now dumping apocalyptic amounts of rain on the UK … Continue reading
#Janathon Day 22: Breaking Habits
A comment from a fellow blogger got me thinking… how long it will take for this healthy living habit to stick? Conventional wisdom says it should take about 21 days, which means I should already be there. Now, if you’re dying for … Continue reading
