My brother got married at the weekend and as part of the preparations we had to transport the wedding cake from my uncle’s bakery to Lusty Beg island, where the reception was held: a distance of 10.6 miles, according to Google.
Due to the size and weight of the cake it was decided that I would [...]
I can’t believe it, but I actually took the time out yesterday to make this. Here’s what it’s meant to look like:
..and here’s my effort:
It is safe to say I drank too much coffee yesterday
It was Sunday morning and I went through my usual routine: I got up, flicked on the coffee machine which I had filled with water and ground coffee the night before and went to the bathroom. I decided to get back into my bed for a bit and whilst I was lying there I heard [...]

I’d been meaning to start buying my [...]
My shipment from Blademail.co.uk arrived this morning:

The pack contains 20 dispensers, each delivering 5 blades:
I originally read about the traditional wetshave on Lifehacker, but paid no [...]
A good while back, while I was reading up on the Squat, I stumbled upon the Tuna Shake. Tuna is a very inexpensive source of protein and I’ve possibly eaten the equivalent of my body weight of it over the past year; I didn’t think it was possible to consume it in the form of [...]
Once again I got sick of the length of my hair: it had been a while since I had done anything to it and I felt it was looking untidy and I hated having no option but to style it in the mornings and after the gym, so last night I charged up the trusty [...]
