So i thought i'd give this a go again. Posting via sms was quite useful as it let me update my blog without touching a computer. Anyway, the big news is that i'm thinking of launching a creative commons and indieunsigned music podcast in the next few days called "Mashup". It's going to be fun. Basically it's called mashup due to my eclectic music tastes and tendencies to like music which doesn't fit genres easily.... Anyway, watch out for it!!!

I have just seen why drinking ten shots on an empty stomach is a bad idea. I'm glad it wasn't my mistake. If you are having a drinking contest with russians, and they stop, don't think you have won until you have held them down for four hours at least. My game plan is and has been to drink apple juice. It's going great so far, though i wish more people would adopt my approach. Drinking in moderation is fine. Drinking to show off your ego will end badly!

I'm off to Russia for two weeks with MGS. I'm staying in St. Petersburg with a russian family and should be speaking russian. I'm "apprehensive" and I hope it all comes back to me as i haven't really spoken it since my GCSE, about 18 months ago. I return to the UK on something like the 16th of July.

Wow! What a disappointment! Glossop Sailing Club will not be taking part in the famous Southport Sailing Club, Junior 12 Hour Race. It seems that the powers at be, at glossop sailing club, do not wish the team of young people i organised, to race in this fantastic challenge! Unsuprisingly, I am somewhat unhappy with this decision and am currently considering all possible options. i will be posting further details in due course. This has really thrown me.
