So of all the things covid is preventing you from doing what's the one you miss the most? I mean, I've lost my job and haven't seen my girlfriend in 7 weeks but fuck!, The thing I'm missing the most is my boat!!! This is her being launched in early June last year. She's now in Valencia and well...

May i recommend TOT:

I took this photo in 1991. 10 points for the first person to name the place.

Maybe somewhere for a bit of light relief!. Every time I hear someone on TV or read in a thread "lockdown" I immediately think of this:

I made a vlog of my sailing trip last year. Frankly it's boring and no one is watching it, so my plan of making tons of money and retiring early thanks to youtube is not working out. In a last ditch attempt to get monetised and rake in the lolly i'm calling on all bluemooners to watch and share...

I like most most music from pop to classical. However I love traditional and "gypsy" Jazz. The first name that comes to mind when thinking of Gypsy Jazz(I don't really like the term) is Django Reindhardt so here is one of my favourites: but here is a current player who is out of this world...

It's an ocean sailing race from France to Guadeloupe in the carib. Leading boat in the IMOCA division is the brit Alex Thomson. He's about to finish. However, last night he ran aground whilst asleep at the tiller and had to start his engine to avoid wrecking his boat. There is a good chance he...

Bournmouth on the 23rd will be my first match this year! (Kids grown up so I don't get over to UK very often anymore). Need 3 seats together for me and my girls. We like to swear a bit. Usually get CB or East stand level 3 but not available online so wha to you suggest? is 313/314 above the away...

He isn't the peoples choice but he is the greatest ever British road cyclist. He's just won La Vuelta on top of his TDF win. First Brit to do the double and only the third man in history to do it.

Another sad loss. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/20/jerry-lewis-dead-comedy-legend-dies-aged-91/

I've just fitted a new stereo in my car. Had to make up a new harness and modify the aftermarket cage which didn't fit the radio. Got to admit I feel a little bit manly right now.

Another peace loving lone wolf gave it a go today. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/04/27/armed-police-westminster-arrest-man-backpack-knives/ Cunts

will be driving from heathrow to St.Annes this afternoon. Any routing tips? I read something about some roadworks being removed for the Christmas period but I can't imagine it will make much difference.

So they are off again for the 8th running of the Vendee. Just one Brit in the field this time but he has a good chance as he's on the newest boat and the technology has been changing rapidly. Links: http://www.vendeeglobe.org/en/news tracker: http://tracking2016.vendeeglobe.org/hp5ip0/ Alex...
