Domo Arigato, Mr. Roboto
As if we needed further proof of Chris' strangeness! Here he is, wearing the packing that was in the luggage I just purchased, making a convincing impression of a cyborg/transformer/general freak... hehehe!

Well, not much to say really - it's been dullsville here for the last week (apart from Chris' entertaining japes & witty repartee... hehe - I have my own court jester!)
I've been on the elliptical trainer every morning for 50mins, with an average heart rate of 177 (at one point sustaining 192 for 4 mins - ouch!...actually wasn't that bad) , next week I'm playing squash, and I'll try to do 2 weights sessions for my upper body. Pants are much looser now, but I still have such a long way to go before summer - there's a size 10 pair of Sass&Bide jeans with my name on them, dammit! (or even if they don't have my name on them, that's ok, I'm not fussy)
Anyhoo, enough of the purely shallow, and onto the strangely inane (or is that inanely strange?) While I was studying archaeology, I often wondered if there was any evidence left of peoples who had lived on/near the coast during the last ice-age (during which, at its peak about 18,000 years ago, the sea level was at least 100m lower than it is today - archaeology and geology are quite fascinating...or is that just me?...) - Unfortunately we're unlikely to find out on a large scale, as underwater archaeology is VERY expensive, and crackpots like Graham Hancock do little to further the cause!
Pish....and perhaps even tosh!
Here are the supposed underwater ruins - decide for yourself!
I think Mr. Hancock might be rather aptly named...
Well, that's enough of my sweet chilli baked beans-induced ramblings, I'm off to have a monkey bath.....
