About Me

Currently living the self employed part-time work/part-time athlete life in London... off to the US of A for a job at Cleveland Clinic in March... i hope the yanks are ready for ginger... Besides that i still love racing and training like a beeyatch, eating tonnes of food, and drinking several good Belgian ales...

My Interests

Duathlon (runbikerun) racing Travelling - UK, Europe, Asia, Oz, US... etc. But still to get my ass up a "real" mountain... Belgian beer... thank you Geel! Eating as often as possible... steering clear of my hunger moods is sensible!

I'd like to meet:

The man from Del-Monte - who the hell was he? He-man - what a hero Steve Irwin - what a leg... R.I.P. George Bush - anyone that stupid with an itchy trigger finger must be respected Hitler - to ask him what the f**k he was thinking... Nostradamus - just to confirm my suspicion that he was a total nutter who just liked to write stories Some of the Mr Men, the plural i guess should be Mr Many
