Rico Nelson’s “How to Start Your Own Business: Step by Step Guide To Starting Your Own Business Volume 2” was a free kindle book that I picked up to have a flick through in relation to task 51 – Start my own Business from my day zero challenge. Most business startups fail. […]
Sublime’s Tantillus 3D Printer looks like an interesting printer, I will have to ask Nathaniel to print me one when Sublime realises the part files. The things that draw me to this 3D printer are its compact size; its mostly printable; and easy to build (and I guess make replacement parts for :)) The Specifications […]
For the month of March I have chosen to give up Chocolate, Coffee, and Tea, this is going to be much more painful than the week I gave up Alcohol, Chocolate, Coffee, and Tea. The photo to the left shows the size of my tea mug (its 20 fluid ounces) by lunchtime […]

Ok so Stephanie is not some lovely young lady, more is the pity her name is Stephanie due to her number plate “J85STF”; which makes her the first vehicle I have ever owned with a name. She is a Yamaha SR 125. Azz, Betty and I went to look at her on […]
On the way to look at boats on Friday, Mum and I listened to two audio books in the car; Julia Donaldson’s The Gruffalo (Read by Imelda Staunton), and Walt Disney / Pixar’s Ratatouille, Both are easy to listen to while sat on the A34 / M40 / A43 driving at […]
The Bike that Azz and I looked at today in Carterton is a Yamaha SR125; mine does not look like the one to the Right. The SR125 is sold as a learner or commuter bike, the page for the Yamaha SR125 on the manufacturers site states: Easy to manoeuvre, simple to use […]

Yesterday Random Zero and I spent the day poking my Bike, and going shopping, the result of the shopping is that I now look like some one in Black and Red: Oh and my hair was re poked this time (photos at end). The carburettor was poked on my Suzuki Marauder […]
Last night Hinge Came round, for our normal mid-week chat, and Sauna. Before she got here I did a bit of chemistry: As you can see, I had made up a blue paste, that I assumed should have been white and or clear; it seems to also be very goopy, […]
I ordered my new hair dye and bleach from Voluptupuss yesterday, and they are sat here on my desk at work today 😀 Next week Hinge will hopefully be coming round, so beside sitting in the Sauna chatting, I can get her to help me with the bleaching of my […]
As part of my Day Zero Challange, one of the items is to dye my hair a non-natural colour, I have had my eye on dying my hair blue for a while; Manic Panic, do a colour called “Shocking Blue” that I thought would do the job, and be an […]
More shinny photos of my bike 🙂 Random Zero has been looking after my bike, I think it looks better now it is black, although the fule tank needs more naked girls riding dragons.
[photonav url=’http://camcrew.co.uk/uploads/2011-07-02_SOT.jpg’] A while ago Loupie and I went to Trewsbury Mead to look for the source of the Thames; Thames Head There’s a little cup in the Cotswold HillsWhich a spring in a meadow bubbles and fillsSpanned by a heron’s wing, crossed by a strideCalm and untroubled by dreams […]

My Motor Cycle now has handle bars 😀 As Part of this bit; I am now fixing the new control wires to the bike; The fuel tank may need a paint; it is lacking images of naked women ridding dragons. A short exhaust pipe; should make it nice and loud […]
Leonna Black’s “Rough Sex: An Explicit Fantasy” is a Kindle book that jumps about more than I would like, and one that I did not enjoy as much; th subject matter covered in this book is less caring and loving than I prefer; its not really a book about exploratory […]
Elinor Carr’s “Pleasing Him: An Erotic Story of Submission” clearly says on the cover its an Adults Only book 😀 This is another book about a new job leading to interesting circumstances; or is it. Another mainly enjoyable eBook; with a twist at the end; I really should read a […]

I ordered some parts for my Motor Cycle from an online company called wemoto, so hopefully soon I will be the proud custodian of some break pads, a battery, spark plugs, and an oil filter. Also at the same time I purchased a copy of the Haynes Manual for my […]
