What do you want for your birthday?

About 400 years before my 49th birthday, my wife, with the memory of a person who mentally resembles the elephant, asked what I would like for my birthday, I thought for about 327 years and came up with a unicycle. I immediately forgot my request and carried on dreaming of winning the lottery and buying a 'camel' spec landrover.

On the 19th of July 2006 my present was opened....unicycle!

With great enthusiasm I vowed to learn to ride by my 50th birthday......oops!

In January 2008, I realised that my body was straining to carry 16 stone. Time to get fit I thought. How?..... Easy! ......join a gym?......too expensive and full of well fit posers......Walking?...........no time to do it everyday............Swimming?.......similar to gym plus having the mindset of a 12 year old I get bored swimming back and for and start to bomb other swimmers or grab their legs as they go past!.......Diet?......brilliant!!!......but........love curry and real ale.......

February 2008...still trying to find diet which includes hot curry and Marston's Pedigree. Walk in to garage and bang head on wheel of unicycle......BRILLIANT IDEA!
