Hello! I'm from England, but live in Al Ain in the UAE.
Here you will find stuff on:
- Sport - Cricket and Football, mainly.
- Interesting news - from England and the UAE.
- Comedy - Mitch Benn, Jeremy Hardy, Eddie Izzard and more...
- Lifestyle - Health, Finance, Motivation and more...
- Computers - software downloads
Many of my links come from the BBC or from Lifehacker. This is mostly stuff for me to be able to access quickly at another time on my travels. It may be of interest to others, even though it may be rather random, which is rather the idea of Tumblr Blogs. If you come across this, enjoy!!
Here's a link to my sports comments page on BBC 606.
