A rather good first night at #fishconvention

Raw Meat dropped due to 11pm curfew :-(

Oh no it's not! #fishconvention


Another confident builder, but this time a company

Look carefully at the top and you'll see the old Burton's logo...

It was at this point in the gig #fishconvention

That the keyboard player took a call from Bobby Davro....

To much hilarity!

Strewth - cycling again


Earlier this year I completed the Big Battlefield Bike Ride for Help for Heroes.  350 miles from near Caen to Dunkirk, the long way round J.



Well, despite clear assertions before I went that I would not repeat the experience, I have completed a Ride to Recovery at Colchester only 38 miles – but in my defence it was only a 10 days or so after a 20mph RTA where my bike was completely written off:



And now, I am signed up for BBBR13 – Paris to London!  The fundraising challenge is slightly bigger (£2,500), so any contributions you can make at Peter's H4H 2013 Bike Ride page will be most gratefully received.

Onwards!

A dreadful hall of shame for cycling in the Armstrong era

Only 3 unambiguous "not implicated in doping" in 7 years once Armstrong is removed from the TDF results.

It looks like the TDF will be annulled in those years.

Thanks to today's Telegraph Sport section.

One of Barcelona's better restaurants

Only spoiled by the Jazz renditions of Queen's We Will Rock You, and Slade's Far Far Away!

It's called Tonorio.

And now Nirvana, Come As You Are!

It's fag and phone break time at #VMWorld


And prize for best stand at #VMWorld goes to

Symantec...

No one died, just early for lunch at #VMWorld!

A couple of hotels from the IKEA range

I think the one on the right is Billy.

Seems like post 9/11 security theatre has calmed down a little

In at least one location.

Been a long time since I saw an open cockpit door with nobody fussing about securing it.
