The life of a Scotsman

Hello.

It’s been a wee while since I last posted anything on yamyam. In fact, it’s been a long time since I last logged on to even check what’s going on. I’ve really been…not that busy.

So what have I been doing then? Well mostly working, relaxing, exercising and working on a new personal project. It’s so secretive that only 3 people on the planet know about it, and 2 of those aren’t even family. So that’s taking up most of my time.

I bought myself a bicycle, I can’t stand not being on 2 wheels! :D

It’s a Felt Qx75 and I really like it. It’s so far done 2 things for me and my life. Firstly it’s getting me fit for the first real time in my adult life. I used to play 5-a-side a lot and I was sort of fit. Then I went to uni and that was that. I also used to cycle at uni but it wasn’t really fat reducing cycling, more sightseeing cycling. Anyway, thats the first good point and I am feeling really good about myself. There’s still a long way to go to reduce my gargantuan belly but I’m getting there.

Second good point is that it’s saving me money! I don’t get the train twice a week, which saves me £15 a week, £60 a month and…over £600 a year. So that’s also good.

Anyway.

That’s really all the news I have at the minute. I’m watching the MotoGP still and enjoying the Simoncelli faff that’s surrounding the whole thing at the mo. But more surprisingly I’ve taken to watching Formula 1. I’ve always found it desperately boring, I mean 60-70 laps with no such excitement of MotoGP. But recently I caught a race and found it utterly fascinating! The amount of technical prowess that is in even the nose cone of the cars is just phenomenal and I’ve really been intrigued. The commentating is also a dab better than I remember. A few exciting drivers in the series as well and despite the disgusting display of wealth at every single race I can’t help but wish I was in that paddock.

 

So that’s that for now. Will update you in another 4 months! Toodle pip.

    F1 has been great this year- it really makes up for those hundreds of dull, monotonous races i sat through for nearly two decades. Well, almost. I also like the fact it’s in HD now, and i can crank up the subwoofer and really feel involved in it. And Jonathan Legard isn’t there blethering a load of cack every three seconds. Crazy Dave C. (see sniffpetrol.com) & Marty B are a good combo.

    Anyway, about time you updated this, you’ll have to tell me what your secret project is though. (Hopefully it involves getting me in the pirate ‘Senna’ DVD loop)

    P.s.- I’m modelling my current hairstyle on Simoncelli

  2. I like your post – nice effort!
    I’ve read some good stuff here. Definitely worth bookmarking for revisiting.
