Odeon Limitless

Travelling away from work is boring, you get fat because all you can do is go out to restaurants and stuff your face in your hotel/bed and breakfasts.  The one thing I always like to do is to get to the cinema is I am lucky enough to be near one. I decided to buy Odeon Limitless since

Euro 2016: Paris for the Q/F

Originally in the ballot I spent over 2k on tickets but was unfortunate in that I didn’t get any Wales tickets.  I had a load of group games, some in Wales’ group but for every game in the group other than a Wales one! Still, this was not the reason I sacked all of them of

Personal Training: 16 Weeks Down…

On my last post I had concluded my 8 weeks with the ‘Shapeshifters’ programme and I was now embarking on a 3 month programme with a new personal trainer much closer to me.  I had signed up for 3 sessions a week and I jumped straight in after the Shapeshifters programme had

Days 3 & 4: Coooool Runnings

Day 2: Bye Bye Banff Hello Hockey!

My body clock continues to be screwed so I was up at about 4a.m reading Arsenal moaners on Twitter.  I packed up all ready before my tour and went for my breakfast at the grill.  I love American/Canadian breakfasts, pancakes, poached eggs, sausage, bacon and toast with a load of maple

Day 1: Banff National Park

Fair to say from Friday last week work was a bit crazy with a particularly nasty service issue gobbling up my weekend.  It was so messy I did not want to throw my stand-in under the bus so I didn’t take the day of the flight off in the end and ended up working from the Premier I
