UK trip

Just to let everyone know that I will be back in Oxford this Saturday November 29th. I’m going to be in the UK for about 1 week before heading off to Cape Town via Paris. I’m not entirely sure who is around at the moment….. Chris doesn’t graduate until 2236 so it’s a pretty safe bet he’ll be in Oxford and I know others (Rich, Ed, Ben, Mia etc) are kicking around still. Would be really great see you all and if anyone is going to be in Oxford or Kent over the next couple of weeks make sure you drop me a line or post a message on this site.

I’ve had a really great time in California and will be very sad to leave. I’ve made some great work contacts, new friends and its always nice seeing my family out here. In fact, don’t be surprised if I drop the bomb in a few months time and move out here!

But, in the meantime, I am really looking forward to coming back to England. The U.S is an amazing place but there are always things you miss about the motherland. For your interest, I have compiled a list:

1. Cheese
2. Smoky pubs
3. News Coverage
4. Weather banter
5. Kebab Kid
6. Neighbours
7. Humour
8. Drinking games
9. Scotch Eggs
10. Des Lynam

VICTORY!

What a great game. I knew we could do it. My Willkinson prophecy came true....

RWC final

I’m very excited about tonight’s match. I've got a good feeling we're going to come away with a historic victory and that my boy Jonny Wilkinson is going to be devastating in the tempestuous Telstra dome. I'm armed with my cans of Foster’s, I’ve donned my England jersey, and now, I sit in silence awaiting the national anthems and the humiliation of the Australian nation…

Best contest Ever!

"This weekend saw Kai Cofler, A sports therapist from Ontario, Canada, take home the coveted ‘Best Beard’ Award at the 6th World Beard and Moustache Championships. The event, held in Nevada this year, attracted competitors from some 23 countries and is highly regarded as the developed world’s premiere facial hair contest."

This is the coolest thing I have ever seen. Up until today I thought the International Air Guitar Championships held annually in Norway was the greatest contest on the planet, but this definitely tops it.

Rock on Kai Cofler....
