So recently I was in a nice restaurant and needed the rest room to do the male version of powder my nose. Check the moustache and beard for any out of place hairs and review the overall shape and density of the beard. (It’s a joke! Not all men have beards, some just have moustaches!) […]

I would consider myself to be a good driver. I have never taken an advanced test but I am confident I am probably at that level, are you with me on this? (Just a joke, but I am a good driver) When I passed my driving test (2nd time trying…) me and a mate would […]
So I was chatting to a mate of mine recently who is a police officer. As part of his job he has to ‘brush up’ on his PSU (Police Support Unit) training once in a while and it just happened to be this month. If I am honest, PSU training is the type of thing […]
In the job I now have at CVM it is difficult to hide the fact that I am a Christian, it’s sort of obvious as just about all we do is about introducing 1,000,000 men to Jesus Christ. Even before that I was pastoring a church and before that a Chaplain for a drug rehabilitation […]

I have this memory of a time when I was doing a 6 week trip to Brazil as a 20yr old, away from all I knew and experiencing life in a whole new way. I was nervous to go, it was with a team lead by a Pastor who had planted a church and had […]
One of the search options that Google have developed is the Google Ngram viewer. This search allows you to look at words in books and their frequency that Google have stored on their mega brain somewhere in a cloud. The range in years is from 1800 – 2008 and whilst the data has been criticised, […]
I remember being in Brazil working for Teen Challenge, and a group of us wanted to reach out to blokes in Prison. The part of Brazil I was in had 9 prisons and one was just for the corrupt police. We got an invite to go in and lead a service for the fellas, I […]
