I wanted to reflect a bit about the UFC, Ultimate Fighting Championships. Now, this may be a divisive subject, I get that, because for lots of men out there the idea of watching guys fight like this just isn’t something they care to see. Some men on the other hand will appreciate the UFC for […]
Red or white? There has been a lot of debate about the colour of poppies this year. Not sure where you stand on this issue, especially on this 100th anniversary of the end of WW1, but I would like to throw something else into the mix: red, white or …. a tomato? Now stay with […]
Such a gripping headline right? Well it was for me. This blog is about the organisation who work behind the great marketing of Movember, the art of men growing moustaches for the month of November. But it’s lots more than that and I wanted to share some of this with you all. Movember is basically […]
Life goes by so quickly, next year I will be a young 50 year old, I can’t actually believe this and you know what, I’m finding it hard to accept. I’ve been thinking a lot about the word ‘legacy’. A legacy is something you leave behind and for the most part in Western society it’s […]

Over the summer there have been a number of changes in the life of my family. I have started to realise that I never do anything simply. So we have moved across to North Wales, joined a new church, my son has started a new school and obviously we are building a new network of […]
So, here is a question that I suspect lots of you reading might want to comment on, so feel free. The question is simply this; is chivalry dead? Let me start with a story. It is stated that Sir Walter Raleigh, when he invented the chopper bike, no wait sorry, let me start again. Raleigh […]
Over the last few weeks, well 6 to be accurate, I have been able to spend some good time with my children. We did the normal day trips out to the zoo and other locations that were utterly mobbed by parents just like me. A look of desperation in our eyes, exhausted from having the […]
