I just got back from John o’Groats after a little unicycle ride:858 miles of unicycling in 6 days, 8 hours and 43 minutes. (see daily reports and pictures of the ride at the blog)I rode with Roger from Unicycle.com, and we were supported by Paul Royle. Charity donations are gratefully received for Wake Up! Ministries in […]

Some quick answers:
This was me, in see-through mode, on Saturday 4 April.
I fell off my unicycle.
It didn’t hurt any more than normally falling off unicycle does.
It was my fancy, new KH Schlumpf 36″, but that wasn’t the cause (wasn’t going any faster than I would have done otherwise, around 30kph on the flat).
I met the […]

I was looking for information about Kikobero village, near Mbale in eastern Uganda. There is not much on the internet about it.
But I found this site about education in Uganda more generally. With a picture that I took and put on Flickr years ago! The world of the internet is a funny […]

This is a request for comments.
What would be the most amusingly inappropriate song to be played as the happy couple walks down the aisle out of their wedding?
My starter suggestion would be The Beatles - Yesterday (…all my troubles seemed so far away, now it looks as if they’re here to stay…). This was […]

This ain’t no train!
This is a ten-carriage condominium, and I live here to hide from my wife.
If yo’d seen her you’d know why.
That lady is three-eighty-nine pounds, and that’s on the weekend!
She so fat she wears size sixty-four jeans.
Her ass is so big it’s like she got twelve stomachs…
Twenty stomachs.
Damn!
This was a little bit of […]

If you ever swallow something you shouldn’t, or need to remove anything from your upper digestive system, this could be helpful.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t.
Please don’t ask why I ever found that.

Two of the hundreds of yellow taxis criss-crossing Times Square in New York City every night. These were from my trip there in June. A little taster of more anecdotes and holiday snaps from the Big Apple… stay tuned!

This is the third batch of home-made bread which I’ve made within a week. I love it. I think it is difficult to get too much good bread. For a few years I have tried to just get my bread at independent bakeries, as Aberystwyth has several and they deserve […]

This is the official logo for the 15th Unicycling World Championships and Convention in New Zealand in 2010 (the spiky bit is a fern - the national symbol of NZ). It was also my first dabble in Illustrator, and it won me a free place at the convention. Woo!

Yesterday I went to Hay-on-Wye. It is a place of many, many books. And mud. And Jimmy Carter. And Guardian Ponchos. And the ‘honesty bookshop’ (above). And rain. And JesusDub. And many other things.
