Gary says… WTF?
Best advice? Or worst?
On the waterfront
I’d always assumed that when I returned to Canada, it would be to take the scenic railroad trip from Toronto to Vancouver via the Rockies, with my chosen life-partner. However, since my chosen life-partner isn’t interested in being my chosen life-partner I’m here with my mum, visiting family for a wedding.

Despite our best efforts at work, some people just didn’t get the message about why there was so much travel disruption today.
Race for Life
Or backache for life! Day one of this weekend’s races in Huddersfield, and we were woefully short-handed in the Finish Funnel. But the band of cadets worked heroically, augmented by random people coming in to help when they could. The trouble (for me) was that I had to keep reaching down to my left to […]
