H2G2
The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy teaser trailer for the movie being released next year.
Not much to look at, unfortunately. No footage, just a simple animated teaser.
Provisional Results
Well, the provisional results are in. My time is officially 2:47:14 and I came 434th out of 1670 finishers. I don’t feel so bad about that. The winning time was a regular Tough Guy runner who finished in 1:37:42 (and I believe that he went on to do the Last Man Standing too.) The final [...]
Busy!
Would be nice to say that I’m going on holiday but I’m not. I have loads to do and will be away for a couple of days doing best man’s duty at a wedding. So it’s going to be quiet around here for a couple of days.
I will try to add more to [...]
Tough Guy Nettle Warrior VII – July 25th 2004
It took me 2 hours 47 minutes and 11 seconds to complete the Tough Guy course yesterday. I can safely say that it was one of the most challenging events I have taken part in. But then again, that’s why I did it!
We were quite lucky with the weather for the most part. Despite the [...]
At last…
Well there’s a turn up for the books! The title for the last Star Wars film has been announced at Comic Con in San Diego. Frankly, it’s surprising – but only because it’s not as crap as the first two and because it is, actually, quite predictable. Anyway, if you want to [...]
20. The Anaconda
The last obstacle! Or at least, the last obstacle in this list! This is a series of vaults over concrete pipes. I’ve seen a picture with at least 3 in them but there could be more. It’s not a difficult obstacle but coming this late in the event, tired limbs and exhaustion are going to [...]
There must be something in the water!
INT. CAPITALIST TOWERS – LATER
Dragon is attempting to do some work. The phone rings again. He hesitates before answering it.
USER
General Dragon. Many years ago you helped my supervisor roll out a new application. Now, in these dark times, I come to you in need of help. I swapped my user [...]
Not on a Friday!
INT. CAPITALIST TOWERS – DAY
DRAGON, an intrepid and adventurous, not to mention tall, dark and stunningly handsome, computer geek is trying to look busy playing Text Twist.
The telephone on his desk RINGS loudly. He answers it.
DRAGON
Dragon! How can I help?
USER
Hi. I have some functionality issues with an application.
DRAGON
That sounds serious. [...]
Resting
I had quite a hard rugby training session last night and that was after intense weight training on Monday. I don’t feel fit at all (although did manage to bash out a 3 mile run up the local hills on Sunday) but I’m sure it’s just nerves.
I’m not doing any more now until the [...]
