Short and Sweet

I am a big fan of computer animations and would love to have been leaving school now so I could go to Uni and learn how to do it all for myself.

However, being someone that has all the creativeness of a stone and who is not keen on being considered a 'mature' student*, that's never going to happen, so instead I enjoy watching other people's creations, especially the Pixar stuff as their quality is amazing.

Sometimes, though, it is the simplest things that can be the most entertaining ... such as The Owl, shown on CBBC.

Yes, okay, its for kids, but its definitely worth checking out for a little chuckle :-)


* I'm not all that mature ... get a few drinks inside me and I can be as childish as the rest of em!

Then again, certainly not the ugliest, either! The calibration of the Nike kit was a bit annoying. After having calibrated for a 1.05 mile run I then tried to calibrate a walk for the same distance, only be told halfway around that the di

The final week in the run up to the South West Coast-to-Coast is here and, in less than a week, I will be starting my first UltraChallenge in order to raise money for Crohn's and Colitis UK . Since doing the massive 32 mile training walk a month ago, I have been able to get out for shorter walks once or twice a week, which have been steadily getting longer.   On Saturday, I managed 12.37 miles in a decent 3 hours 39 minutes, though with the wrong choice of shoes, which left me with blisters and sore feet.  It really made me appreciate how good my boot and sock combo is! Oh, and underwear.  Having walked in normal boxers and suffered the chafed consequences for a day or so, I ended up buying a couple of pair of SAXX Boxer Briefs .  I'm generally not one for buying expensive undies and feel that even £22 for 3 pair of boxers is somewhat extortionate.  However, if you want to feel like the family jewels are in good hands and you want to be able to shower after without feeling lik
