Wasted Talent
Girls with slingshots

And we bid a sad, sad, sad farewell to the wonderful Bellen... Many thanks to Mr Box Brown for the entertainment over the past 3 years and good look to him in the future...

And one for the future - Selkie

Sport

2010 as a sporting year kinda sucked, world cup was a drag... the cricket is on a knife-edge... in terms of club football i don't think a single trophy went the right way... BUT... things are starting to look up at Sunderland only 1 bad result all season so far so we shall see what happens.

Personal Events

2010 was a busy year for me, full of life changing events... I moved in with Tracey, managed to get myself pretty sorted at work.

Other things i achieved this year, which previously i hadn't done, for instance I went to Malta which was a brilliant start to the year, and I also managed to spend 24 hours writing a comic which I'm still pretty damn proud of.

Obsessions

As ever I have spent my year going from obsession to obsession this years list includes -

Borderlands
Gears of War
NCIS
Malcolm Gladwell
Various web Games
Desperado
The Year of the Black Rainbow (Book and CD)
The Muppets
Real Ales

Might add to all this later... but if i dont see everyone in 2011
