My grandma, what big teeth you have...

Chief and Indi...always up for a laugh. Chief I reckon would have been a stand up comic had he been human, he has perfect comedic timing and is so funny it's untrue. There's rarely a day go by where he does not have us laughing out loud for one reason or another. Are all Malamutes like this I wonder?

Harpenden walk

I got a bit bored following the Marathon walk and was really looking for things to take part in. SJ and I did the Harpenden walk a couple of years ago...well SJ did the run and I did the walk...
I decided to enter it again..it's only 10K so pretty straightforward in terms of distance. It was a bitterly cold day though but there were still plenty of people there.

Back to Czech

I attended and presented at the Myslivna event in Czech Republic. This is something I did a couple of years ago, and this year, we ran this seminar again. It's in conjunction with our agents, and it takes place at the Myslivan hotel...hence the name. Myslivna is an old hunting lodge, and I guess it's seen better days, however it does have a huge amount of character.

Once again, my presentation was translated live...an odd sensation, but you do get used to it.

I also had the opportunity to have a walk around the hotel into the surrounding woods. It's been cut back a lot but you can still get he impression of Communist Generals commanding their minions into (faux) battle.

Michael McIntyre

For SJ's Xmas present, I'd booked tickets to see Michael McIntyre at the O2. For those of you not familiar with him, go and look at YouTube for "Michael McIntyre Man Drawer". That will give you an idea of his (very funny) observational comedy...he really is hilarious.
The night didn't start that well by the Clipper we were on breaking down and us having to be dropped off at Greenwich Pier for 20 mins or so. Such a reliable service normally, however on this occasion it was not to be. We'd also booked a table at one of the Thai restaurants at the O2...in hindsight this was not a good move, as it was incredibly busy and pretty crap food. I must admit, I'd never realised how in demand O2 restaurants were...last time, we walked straight in to Gaucho's with no reservation and no problems...not a mistake we will repeat again!
McIntyre was good, but not as funny as I think he can be...a worthwhile show but I'm not sure if I'd go back...
