This weekend is Tough Guy Nettle Warrior, the twice yearly race that separates the men (Tough Guy) from the boys (Tough Mudder) I look forward to marshalling this race, and spending time with the people down there. Not just because of the chance to play with cameras and get some amazing pictures, but I get to…
I recently got my Cineworld Unlimited card back, this is a monthly payment to the cinema in which I can watch as many films as I want, 10% off the food/drink and 25% off some restaurants. To assist with writing on this blog I am going to start doing some film reviews, this will get…
