Hello, Well I am very pleased to report that the challenge was finished yesterday in sunny and breezy Blackpool! IMG_7619 by nicholl.simon, on Flickr It was a handful at times, not least because I broke my bike frame on Dartmoor! Spare bike was brought out of retirement and it saw me around the rest of the country. I am so grateful to all those IORRians who donated so generously- you

Hello, Please forgive the shameless and somewhat cynical payday-timing of this bump! Only four (4) weeks until the off, and the total is *so* close to £4000...if you can spare a dime, well that would be all kinds of wonderful! Training is going well, as you can see...

QuoteChrisL Good luck Simon. I'm still waiting for your New England tour. Hi Chris, Well now- you never fail...a massive thank you is in order! I did look at maybe going from Key West up to Toronto for this fundraiser but have gone for the slightly more deranged option instead, hah-hah! If we ever meet at a show, then I'm buying... Cheers, Simon.

Hi Glimmerest, No worries- I know that money is tight and there ain't nothing free...but I will gladly take any good luck going spare! While I'm here (just about to head into the hills to get my head kicked-in, hah-hah!), a great big thank-you to both Some Toronto Girl and also Guess Who for both not hesitating in donating so generously yet again. Toronto and Glasgow in the house.

Recently, one of my favourite people should've celebrated his 56th birthday. That Geoff Hill didn't is down to Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia.

Hello, I saw Roger Daltrey at The Bridgewater Hall on Sunday 4th May, 2025. Here's my usual old blah of a mini-review, hah-hah! At bang-on 8.30pm the band walk on stage…hang on where’s wee Rog then? A full minute later and he joins us, explaining that "he’d gone to shake hands with the Vicar”. Cue much guffawing and that set the tone for the evening: here to have fun. The setlist
