Abu Dhabi Doooo: October 2012
http://abu-dhabi-doo.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Monday, 15 October 2012. Most importantly, I have already started to download the Sylvester Stallone reality TV show ‘The Contender’ and will be emulating their workouts and drills. I shall also be watching Ricky Gervais VS Ben Fogle fight (that Ricky won) as I think I will have the weight advantage, but not the speed, height, reach or fitness advantage. In this fight, I will no doubt be the Ricky! There was a very small, but very real hint of tension in the gym until the organizer came over and broke it...

Abu Dhabi Doooo: School
http://abu-dhabi-doo.blogspot.com/2012/10/school.html
Monday, 15 October 2012. School is fine, and I will not bore you with stories. Instead, I will give a rundown of the differences between Abu Dhabi School life and that of England (and probably the US and Canada too). 1 The students are in charge. Emiratis are the cream of the crop here and can basically do what they want, don’t get me wrong, they are very good people and also generous and hospitable – its just that they get preference, and it is their country). 2 Things change – frequently. No problem, l...

Abu Dhabi Doooo: July 2012
http://abu-dhabi-doo.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, 28 July 2012. The Abu Dhabi Bulge. I have been on a diet for the last 6 months and have managed to lose 30lbs. I am happy about this. In the last month however I have put back on 5lbs. I blame this on the Abu Dhabi effect. I am not sure if anyone else going out there next month is experiencing this weight gain (how could I? But it is starting to piss me off and I know that it is going to get worse before it gets better. Here are the reasons I think this is happening:. 3 No gym for me. Because I...

Abu Dhabi Doooo: 27
http://abu-dhabi-doo.blogspot.com/2013/01/27.html
Wednesday, 9 January 2013. 8211; This is very much a personal blog post and it will be a bit sickly to most of you so I wouldn’t even bother. You may not be able to concentrate on the words due to the self-important sound of me slapping myself repeatedly on the back. Goals for the year of being 26 (written a couple days after my 26th Birthday). 1 Teach abroad in Thailand. 2 Have a boxing match. 3 Record a song. 4 Attempt stand up comedy. Usually on birthdays I am a bit sad that I am getting old and think...

Abu Dhabi Doooo: January 2013
http://abu-dhabi-doo.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 16 January 2013. Let's all do a fad diet. From August 2012 to now (Jan 16th 2012) I have seen my weight climb because I have lived in a hotel for 2 of those months eating nothing but all-you-can-eat buffet 3 times a day every day as that was all we could eat. I am making a lot of excuses here, but as I am now close to my weight (210 pounds) at this time last year I feel that I need to actually do something about it. I know Fad diets do not work in the long term and I have been against them, so...

Abu Dhabi Doooo: August 2012
http://abu-dhabi-doo.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 22 August 2012. I took the bus to Dubai today! It feels surreal just writing that. Just a few months ago going to Dubai at all was just a pipe dream. Some strange, far away place that Piers Morgan once went too and where they have an underwater restaurant. I didn’t see much of Dubai as it was too hot and the guides told us to stay in the mall, we were there 6 hours and I still didnt see all of it: This was the worlds biggest mall! The World’s largest aquarium is in Dubai mall. Of course, it wi...

Abu Dhabi Doooo: Is this Gay? (Notes from an Abu Dhabi barbershop)
http://abu-dhabi-doo.blogspot.com/2012/11/is-this-gay-notes-from-abu-dhabi.html
Friday, 9 November 2012. Notes from an Abu Dhabi barbershop). Today I went to get my hair cut, its not all I did but it’s the only thing I should write about to attempt in vain to keep you interested. (unless you want to hear about boxing training – Its going well, or tennis). I haven’t had a hair cut since I have been in Abu Dhabi and today I bit the bullet. I hate getting my hair cut in England for the same reasons I hate going to lap-dancing clubs – The forced conversation. 8217; the barber asks. ...

Abu Dhabi Doooo: Bragging much?
http://abu-dhabi-doo.blogspot.com/2012/10/bragging-much.html
Monday, 15 October 2012. This is a bit braggy so feel free to skip over this post. We get free breakfast and lunch. Every evening we can help ourselves from the 5 star buffet. We can get our laundry done for free. THE FORMULA ONE ABU DHABI TRACK GOES AROUND THE HOTEL. We have been go karting there. We have cycled around the F1 track. I stayed a night in Atlantis Dubai after enjoying Dizzee Rascal at Sand dance. I visited the Aquaventure waterpark in Dubai (it has slides that go uphill). A Rose in Concrete.
