[Note – the original idea for this was to include pictures of the logos mentioned but I decided this was probably not legal and so removed them and just did my own “representations”, in the hope that that’s allowed. Look them up on an image search if you want the real thing!] “Maaaarketing…” said an […]
Why is it that things that perform a job well always look stupid? This seems to be especially true of sports wear. Why is it that the best way to keep warm on my bike in winter is to wear skin-tight, fleecy-lined tights? Why is bright yellow seemingly the best colour to wear if you […]

My sister and her boyfriend invited us to climb Snowdon the hard way (via Crib Goch) months ago and this weekend, it finally came about. Despite the forward planning, for Sally and I it was all a […]
