FaceOff

Occasionally Adam will become sidetracked from his boxing with obsessions over obscure martial arts. Previously it’s been krav maga, but now it’s vale tudo.

Nintentard

Sunday, October 23rd, 2005

I’ve been trying to post here more often, but my new role at work has seen me pounding away furiously at a PC seven days a week. So I’m not being lame, I do have intentions to post here… I just hardly feel like getting home after a long day of blinking in front of […]

Tuesday, October 4th, 2005

Have you ever found yourself casually ambling down a city street, only to encounter someone exiting a shop and joining the flow of pedestrians exactly alongside you?
