For some reason the rss didn’t work for the scheduled post so I’m reposting it in the hopes the rss starts working again… Well, it’s been an interesting few months in Casa de Muchacho Gordo. I think it’s more than fair to say; I don’t suit office work. The miserable professional details are only for […]

Fat Lad’s Fresh Start
August 4, 2009 – 9:30 am
Well, it’s been an interesting few months in Casa de Muchacho Gordo. I think it’s more than fair to say; I don’t suit office work. The miserable professional details are only for those involved but it’s safe to assume all parties are happy I’m no longer an inmate of a modern glass and steel prison. […]

Fat Lad Rides the Kepwick Killer
April 15, 2009 – 8:00 pm
With the end of February rapidly approaching I’d not got a ride planned for the “not-a-new-years-resolution-honest” big ride a month. Local legend and all round nice chap Ackworth Dave stepped in and volunteered to lead us astray round the hills on the North Yorkshire moors. So 28th February arrived and so did quite-fit-for-the-new-guy JT with […]
