Sometimes in life you need a little guidance, a little help to make the right choices. In clothing I have a few simples rules; does Prince Charles frequent the brand or if not does James Bond. Occasionally life conspires to make things very easy for you and some items of clothing are favoured by both […]

Well here we are 3 weeks and a few days on from treatments end and to be frank all is well, very well indeed. Apart from a little trouble sleeping leaving me a touch short of the required rest I’m almost back to normal. By normal I mean like a footballer [as in the mans […]

Not dead yet :)
Just so very, very busy and will try and update the blog over the Christmas break for all you HepCBoy groupies.

Remember
This December,
That love weighs more than gold!

As promised here is my experience of the last 48 weeks. Remember I still have another 20 odd weeks to do but for this post I’m pretending I have finished. First off you need to know a little more about me, it may help you see through my “spin” if you know how my mind […]

The young Ali stands over the fallen Sonny Liston shouting “get up, get up”. I’ve kept that picture in my mind ever since starting treatment, I even have a big canvas of it in the gym to remind me. Its not the winning that I enjoy, its the fighting and following my 36 week PCR […]

Opinions, facts and feelings are fluid things, as more information comes in they change or at least they should change. I consider myself a pretty fluid boy although its fair to say that not many people who know me would agree, I think that is because of my “plan” problem. […]

Willie Pastrano is a little known boxer but he was at one time light heavy weight champion of the world. A stylish slick fighter he trained often with the young Ali and many say that Ali got a lot of his moves from Pastrano.
The reason I’m telling you this is because he came out […]

It was a perfect Christmas time morning, the snow had fallen which just added to the xmas vibe so the right thing to do seemed to be to start a snowball fight with the Daughter. Old age must have caught up with me as I tweaked my back, just a muscle strain I think which […]
