Why You Don’t Need The Perfect Domain Name

The # 1 Reason Why I’m Probably Fitter Than You
I’m pretty fit. I’ve done lots of endurance stuff over the years and still train a lot. I won’t go into detail because I’ll look like a bigger tosser than I already am (but check out the image of Superman at right!). Ferocious Weather Today was a day of ferocious weather. We had torrential rain, […]
