Could my dream come true?...

A while ago now, I wrote about how down I was feeling about missing an opportunity with the Ginetta Juniors scholarship, well I may now have found a way to resolve this issue. I have after a lot of google-ing found another scholarship which I could possibly enter, with no upper age limit. It's a scholarship with Team Hard (I know, the team name has amazed me for a few years now, it's beyond amazing) for the VW racing cup. Now, as I said I love the name Team hard, but even better than that, my favourite BTCC driver, Tom Onslow-Cole drives for them this season. So, onto the scholarship itself, it's £299 for the whole thing, but that's still more than £400 less than the other one. Plus, as my parents have spent so much money on me this year, I don't want them to pay for this, they've offered, but as I'm finally getting a job (hopefully), I should be able to pay for it myself, which would make it all even more important to me.

In the first round, you get 2 lots of 15 minutes worth of driving, and get assessed on your media interaction on and off camera, and also get a fitness assessment and training programme by Tony Gilham (ex-Cage fighter-turned-race-driver who founded Team Hard). This is then increased to 2 lots of 30 minutes of driving, being assessed on things like car control, smoothness of gear-changes, ability to take criticism and use it to improve your driving etc.. the media interaction is then tested in what sounds like a similar, but obviously more scrutinising way. The thing is, even if I don't get through to the second round then I'll still get constructive criticism and help with my driving.

AGH! Driving, I can't wait until my 17th, it's only 32 days away now! I've told my brother that we're going karting before my 17th though, which i am also incredibly excited about. You see, my parents haven't let me go karting incase I got too obsessed with motorsport.. well that worked :) So, I think they've finally given in. I think I'm waaaay too obsessed as it is, so I doubt I can over-step the line anymore, I mean I've never sat in a car, but I know how to heel-toe, I watch videos of people driving around tracks and pretend that I've got a wheel, flappy-paddle gears and pedals. If I can't drive very well, then I'll just be very busy working on it during the summer.

So yeah, that's what I'm concentrating on now, as well as school obviously. I'll maybe blog soon :)

Breakdown

As I'm sure some of you will have come to realise, I love motorsport, particularly F1 and BTCC. I went to watch a couple of BTCC races last season, and they have a lot of support races, one of which is the Ginetta Junior Championship, and I came to support a couple of the drivers, Charlie Robertson and Sennan Fielding stood out, and these two have both moved on to Formula 4 now. Tonight I came across both of their new websites, Sennan posted his on Facebook, and Charlie's was on twitter the other day, but looking at these brought this to life for me. Now I think I'll need to take you on a journey (a metaphorical one) into the past.

Last summer, I was going to be going to a Manchester United football camp, but then, advertised in a BTCC programme, was the Ginetta Junior Scholarship, a full scholarship to a season in the Ginetta Junior Championship. I jumped at the chance, a chance to be in motorsport without ridiculous amounts of money needed to be spent. We cancelled the booking on the Man Utd camp, but just before booking into the scholarship I got cold feet, it would still cost £700, and I'd never driven any vehicle, I didn't want to waste that £700, so we didn't book it.

Looking at Sennan's and Charlie's websites today just made me lose it, I'd let go of my one big chance last summer. What if I don't get another chance? What if I'm a natural? If I'd have taken the chance and won, I would have already done my first race and would be preparing for my second.

This determination to be in motorsport is causing my biggest fear at the moment though. I still haven't to this day driven anything other than a dodgem, I've never been karting, trust me I've wanted to, but I've never been allowed. My birthday is 101 days away now (almost into double figures!!), and although it's something that I've been waiting for for my entire life, and I'm getting very impatient, I'm terrified by it. What if I'm not a good driver? What if I can;t get my head around it? Then I'd have to give up my dream, I couldn't possibly pursue a career in driving if I can't naturally drive, no matter the number of lessons it needs to be natural. This will just keep building up the closer that I get to my birthday too.

Sorry, I just needed to get this off my chest, and this seemed to be a good place to do it.

A trip to the airport...

I've just been on my ski trip. Yey! It was 41 boys, 6 sixth form girls and 6 teachers. I was obviously one of the sixth form girls.
We woke up bright and early at around 6ish to arrive at school for 7:15, and once we were there we were off. The hour coach journey to Leeds didn't take too long, funnily enough it took an hour. The airport was taken over by all of us, in the clearly permanent Jet2 terminal that had walls that moved from the air conditioning blowing on them. After that the day went swimmingly. It started with a 5 hour wait in the terminal due to delays, and then the plane was ironically cancelled due to snow, or so we thought. We later learnt that the plane was loaded with our bags and was safe, as was the runway, but the crew weren't available. Annoyed is not the word. So after that, we collected our bags, and the teachers arranged for us to get a plane two days later and for some of the money to be refunded. So, we sat and waited for the coach, which would take about an hour to get there. We ended up having to wait over 2 hours, as our coach broke down. Yey! So all grumbling we get on the coach, we travel for 20 minutes then have to transfer to a different coach as ours broke down, another break down.. Yey! So, yeah I would say that trip was very successful and everybody had a lot of fun. Well done Leeds Bradford Airport, you know how to deliver an enjoyable holiday.

My first open day

The title says it all... Today, I have been to my first university open day... YEY!! :D I still cannot believe that the time has FINALLY come around... I have been looking at universities for 6 to 7 years now... I knew my way around the UCAS website perfectly when I was in year 7, so to think that this is actually happening is slightly scary, but soooooo exciting :D
Today was amaazing though, I went to look at Royal Holloway, and oh my god, it was sooo much more than I dreamed it would be. The Victorian building was just as stunning as it looked in the pictures, but I wasn't drawn in by that to give up having a kitchen for a year. I loved the look of the building, but I want to be able to choose what I eat, and I couldn't put up with not being able to bake whenever I feel like it. Plus, the rooms were teenie, as in smaller than my pitiful excuse for a bedroom, so I have multiple excuses. Aaaand, the other modern accommodation looked beaaautiful, there's a little wood thing next to them, and I think that you'll be able to see the Victorian building from it too, and It's self-catered woop!
Ok, onto important things, such as the course. Eeeee, it looked ah-maaaazing... I couldn't find the areas that the lecturers specialised in on the website, but the one who was giving us a tour.. Dr. Tony Stead? .. anyway, him... He was a plant biologist! :D AND so were others there... It's like my perfect dream of a university with specialists in plant biology! It will take a lot to beat it I think... But, this is MAJOR motivation for my summer exams now... COME ON ZOE!
Ok, yeah, I'm excited, and I absolutely adore the look of it :) I'll sign off now and calm down.. but... Eeeeeeee! :D

A boy grown up... JEV

Yeah, it's about Jean-Éric Vergne :) YEY! Ok, I must start these in a more dignified manner :)
Basically, this is just observations of how much he has grown up... Red Bull and Toro Rosso have brought him from the excited teenage boy with potential, to this man (who, granted still acts like a boy at times) who is good enough to drive a formula one car.
But this is also about the physical change in him. This was JEV only a few years ago... -->
Now, he seems to have (somehow... He doesn't look like he needed to at all) lose weight, he's had his eyebrows shaped a bit... His hair is still its natural colour, but has been fashioned in a way that suits him beautifully, and also had his beard tamed.

He knows his responsibility though, when you see him in the garage he is focused, he hasn't taken this for granted, and works hard when needed too. The boy isn't a boy anymore... But he still has the same love for the sport, you can see it in his eyes....

Formula un

Now bear with me, this is one of my dreams, which I've decided to type up... So, here goes.. Oh by the way, I don't remember any of my proper dreams, so it's more of a daydream :)
So, it's based in Summer 2013, and I fly through my driving lessons and pass my test with flying colours, so my parents buy me racing lessons at Silverstone, for 3 days and staying at a hotel nearby. So, the first day I learn how to heel-toe, and become like amazing at it, so I just zoom around the track loads, and smash the lap record in the car, despite having a passenger which added weight and slowed me down. So, on the second day, they offer for me to choose the car for the day, so I chose a Ginetta, because they are little beauties, and of course smashed numerous other records. So, on the third day I was put in a formula 3 car, and ended up going faster than the back few formula one drivers, the likes of Marussia and Caterham, but just behind the Toro Rossos of Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Éric Vergne. Then, at the end of the day Christian Horner of all people approached me and asked me to try the F1 simulator at Silverstone, it had all of the tracks and acted just as an actual F1 car would. He said that they like to offer it to people who are passionate about cars and motorsport, especially F1 as an experience. So, I rang my dad, and he extended my hotel stay. You can guess that I did do the simulator, and did very well.
So, It's now November, and I get back from school to find the home phone ringing, I pick it up, and It's Christian Horner again, he tells me that he was very impressed with my work in the simulator and would like to offer me a Toro Rosso driving position, on a preliminary basis, which would become a proper contract if they were impressed at testing, as both positions were coming free. Now, I was immensely confused by this, as I thought that Christian had no right to choose the Toro Rosso drivers. He then informed me that being head of Red Bull meant that he was also head of the Red Bull drivers programme.
I did feel a bit guilty, as there would be those who followed the programme properly, whereas I was immediately fast tracked. But to ease my guilt, my teammate had also been fast tracked, but from Formula 4, it was Charlie Robertson who I had seen in the Ginetta Junior Championship only the year before. So, testing went brilliantly, I had great fun and made friends with Jean-Éric Vergne (YEY!), I got the place on the team, as did Charlie, but then I had to go back to school. The first race was Melbourne, I'd only told a select few people, and I invited two of my friends from school to have the VIP spots in the garage for Melbourne. We had first class seats on the plane, so we could relax. I loved the whole lifestyle, the freedom that I had, I could just run around the track as much as I wanted to (I ran it to learn the layout properly), practice also helped me to learn the layout, so by quali I pretty much knew the track perfectly. Quali went pretty well too, I finished 5th, so was in quite a good position for the race. It was race day, I was unbelievably nervous, but beyond excited as well, the car was set up, I was given all of the facts and figures.
We did the formation lap, and the lights went green, we were off. I didn't even have to think, it was automatic, my foot went down, and my hands turned the wheel, I zoomed past the leaders, and went straight into 1st, now I just had to keep it.... It was about half way through the race, I still had first and was way ahead of everyone, I was lapping people, and the blue flags were out. Pastor Maldonado was in front of me, he moved to the side for me, and I was driving past me, when suddenly he smashed into the back of me... I flew off the track, like actually flew in the air, and started cartwheeling round and around, I explained to the team via the radio that the centripetal force was keeping me in, so I couldn't get out... I told them that I'd had great fun that weekend. The cartwheeling stopped, the car was on its nose, I was looking at the floor, not able to look anywhere else... "It's just like Oblivion" I said ..........

SW7 is no more...

New SW7 stuff has been released, and ultimately means that the name 'SW7' is no longer the way to refer to Alton Towers' newest development. This morning, it was released that the name will in fact be 'The Smiler', I was initially disappointed, but I have to say it has already grown on me massively already, and that is probably most likely due to some of the other stuff released today.

The SW7 mini site had two updates today, with the domain of www.altontowers.com/2013 still showing the initial update, including an amazing concept image which got me more excited than I would have ever believed it could. It's disturbing due to the woman's face, but it also shows it's fun, exciting and also gives an idea of what the trains will be like, despite the restraints being B&M.

The second update flashed up on the site for a few minutes, before being removed and was due to have a section called 'The Lexicon' thought to be a similar character to 'The Lord of Darkness' from Oblivion. This was replaced by a Facebook tab instead. The latest update can be found on two domains, www.the-smiler.com and www.altontowers.com/thesmiler . There is also a game due to be released in February, screen shots are shown on the newest mini site, it will be for both iOS and Android. It does lead to the idea that at least one lift will be a chain lift though, and also that each section of the ride may have a name, as the area approaching the lift hill seen has 'Converter' or similar, and we already know about 'The Inoculator' so how many sections will be given names?

The Smiler's (It still feels soooo weird not calling it SW7) opening date has finally after much speculation, and to my disappointment been pushed back. This has not however the few weeks that was expected, it has been pushed back a full two months until May, so yes, I am slightly disappointed, and it out a downer on things today, but overall, I will stay positive. There's still the Towers2Go thing being released on Wednesday, and I think it must have something to do with the game, due to the repeated use of the #play hashtag.

So, until Wednesday at least, farewell.

SW7 update... and Matt Lonsdale

Ok, exams are over, my article is in, so now the waiting game begins.

So, onto SW7.
Oh my gosh it's getting exciting! Eeeeee! Okay, I'll try and calm down, so that I can type. Breathe.. Breathe. Okay, so a lot has happened since I last posted, it makes me realise how long ago it was. The Sanctuary has been confirmed as being open for part of the 2013 season, but for how long we are not quite sure. Oblivion, my baby girl is getting a luxurious repaint, which she definitely, without question deserves, the last time she was painted was when? Probably 15 years ago, as the track would have been there for the '97 season, oh she deserves it so much, and she'll look so pretty.

Marketing has also exploded after such a quiet time, posters such as the one on the left have been plastered all over London, Manchester, Leeds and I'm sure many other places too.
But to add to that, sheep have been corrected by someone, maybe Dr Kelman? Oh great, now I've got an image of Dr Kelman running across the countryside in a cat suit and balaclava with a spray can and stencil in his hands, and now I can't stop laughing. Okay, maybe not Dr Kelman then, I'm still giggling from that, but somebody from the Ministry of Joy, or the farmers have been paid by Alton Towers... Nah, that last one is impossible. But yes, the sheep, they caused a trend on twitter of #creepysheep with many people unsure of what the logo itself actually was. Until some mean people spoiled our fun :(

Other than the sheep, Alton have uploaded some images to their Twitter and Facebook accounts, some exciting, some worrying.

The only worrying one really is the 4th image, as it may represent the name. Most likely it won't, as 'The Smiler' is much more likely, and as much as I hated 'The Smiler' as a name, it's miles better than 'The Inoculator'. The others are all exciting, I have no idea what the first one is to do with which makes my intrigue increase. The second, I thought was a smoke version of our smiley friend, but somebody said it might be the word 'cure' in smoke, which is a possibility I suppose, but I guess I hope it's not, as it would make 'The Inoculator' the more likely candidate for the name. The third is the one that I found the most exciting, you can see that it says "You belong to" so, what will follow it is extremely exciting for me at least. The last one is interesting, as it shows our smiley friend having evolved slightly in the eye region, but was probably the least exciting of all of the posts from last night.

Tonight however, things got a bit more exciting and not exciting. Exciting things first, Alton have released a video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0doiBMadquc) about their advertising campaign, which shows the image being projected onto Big Ben and other various locations. Not so exciting is this picture to the right, not only does it claim the ride to be named 'The Smiler' and releases that name in a very disappointing way, but it also puts an end to all of the viral marketing that I was loving. This may be fake, as there isn't a QR code, but I personally doubt that very much, I think it is genuine, I just hope Alton know what they're doing here.                                             There is also said to be a release of something on Wednesday by Towers2Go and Alton Towers simultaneously by the sounds of it. We don't know what, but Towers2Go have released this along with the fact that 'the Inoculator' won't be the name. So, we'll see on Wednesday.

I think that's all of the news so far.

Maybe, some Music stuff now? So, I love an artist called Matt Lonsdale, and I get his tweets sent to my phone, which is usually helpful for releases etc. But he's joined a band now, and isn't going solo anymore, which is all good as long as it's what he wants, plus he's following me on Twitter now. But, due to this, he's retweeting any tweets that mention his new band so my phone is just constantly vibrating, and every time it does I just shout "Matt!" because I know it'll be him, and I haven't been wrong yet. So, mini annoyed-but-happy-at-the-same-time rant is over :)

I'll be back soon :)

Quick Phone Post

Oooooh, this is my first post with my phone, it's quite exciting actually.
Yes, anyway, onto my point. I cannot believe (and I'm actually proud of myself for this) that I have managed to stay away for so long. The reason for this is that I am busy revising and sitting my AS exams. So, I have not neglected this, I have simply gone on a revision holiday- Yes it is as fun as it sounds.
If anything exciting happens though, I will shoot straight back here. I'm also still working on that piece. I think I'm just going to do a round up of the 'news', because I can't pick a topic without having to fill it with speculation (thanks for that Alton) which wouldn't be news.
Anyway, I'll see you soon. Bye for a bit.

The Mystery of our time: Teenage Girls.

My friends (the female ones obviously) and I are teenage girls, and to be completely honest, I don't really understand them or myself. What we are to boys and adults I would hate to know. But this might help everybody decipher the mystery.

There's obviously the weight issue, which is big with anyone (no pun intended). Well, it's not so much about the 'weight' itself it's about the amount of 'fat' on their bodies. Whether their stomachs are bigger than everybody else's becomes the latest craze, and of course, they cannot be satisfied unless theirs is the biggest. This will gradually become something that the girl will become very self-conscious of, and will probably turn to dieting or just not eating. When one girl falls into these thoughts and feelings, a domino effect quickly begins. Even the stick insects decide they've got too much meat on their bones. This is where the girls either decide that they were clearly being stupid, or it becomes a serious problem. Self-confidence issues can kill people. To any teenage girl who is reading this I would like to say, be sensible, don't worry about what everybody thinks because inside, they'll be facing similar if not the same issues as you.

Fashion is a major part of any girls upbringing. It starts off with the clothes that they will happily wear as a child, the ones that you see their mums picking out for them, whilst they're sat in the aisle playing with their Barbie. When one girl at school has chosen the clothes herself though, a nightmare ensues. The begging of the parents has started, tantrums, crying over pieces of fabric, and all just to look like a clone of someone else. I expect this is the most annoying part of parenthood to be frank. These young girls lives have quickly signed over to be enslaved by this obsession. By teenage-hood the girls will either have gained some sense, or will be found somewhere in a crowd of clones.

My next two points are very closely related, so they can be put into one sub-category of interests. This includes music and hobbies. I will address each point separately, but will not go into as much detail as with the above points. So, everybody has different music tastes, whether it's R n' B (I love being able to write 'and' like that, I feel so cool. Unless it's Fish n' Chips), Pop, Jazz, Rock, you get my point, it'd take too much brain power to write all the genres, but yes, basically everybody likes different music. But as a teenager, you're expected to have the same tastes and listen to the same songs as everybody else. Of course though, it could never be simple, tastes change. You have to learn to "go with the flow. Brap mate." the easiest way to do this is to listen to the radio, as you need to know the lyrics if you want to stand anywhere near being cool. But, the story didn't end there (sorry, I couldn't do a blog without any reference to theme parks), as the girls age again, having the same music tastes as everybody else is seen as being un-individual, and now that isn't cool. You are however still expected to like the same artists as everybody else of course, no less could be expected of you.

Finally, we're onto part two of this sub-category, hobbies. To me, the hobbies that anybody takes part in shows their true character, they may look like a tough bully but if people knew he did ballet would anybody take him seriously? No. It reminds of the song 'Stick To The Status Quo' from 'High School Musical'. They're allowed to have their own hobbies, well what I mean is that they're not expected to follow what everybody else is doing. Of course, they're also looked down on if they do anything that is in the slightest uncool. So, in essence uncool girls are expected to have no life and have no fun. Wow, I didn't actually realise just how twisted it was.

Wow. Looking back on that, I'm amazed that I've actually managed to write something slightly philosophical. But in seriousness, these are the women of the next generation, all of this needs to stop, so we don't have confidence-ridden doctors or managers or other careers. I find it a very sad conclusion to the piece. I was hoping to have a humourous ending, but that's clearly not going to be so.

Until next time, Cheerio.

If you didn't get the theme park reference, watch this video to enlighten yourselves. Watching it from about 2:30 should do the trick. http://towersnerd.com/theatre/?video=15

Careers of the future.

Yes, it's another post. I'm bored okay.

Now, with these exams coming up (ARGH!) I've been thinking about what it is that I would like to do when I'm older. I've been back and forth with this so many times, that i think it's time to stop and look at all the options. Now, of course I have ridiculous dream careers that I would absolutely love, doesn't any teenager? But, I don't really know what I'm doing at all. So, as I have a 'scientific brain' I'll do an analysis. My science teachers will have all just cringed at that. But yeah, I'll split it all up to make sense.

As I said I have some ridiculous, and completely non-related dreams. So prepare yourselves to be amazed at my deluded self. One of my dreams, that I have had for a few years now is that I would love to one day be a member of the England Ladies Football team. I love football and would love to be part of it. I have however evaluated my football skills, and have come to the conclusion that I can't play at all, so I think it would be better for everybody if I stick with just being a fan.

Another of my far-fetched dreams is that I would love to be an F1 driver. Yes, I know, but I did say that they were completely un-related. I love watching F1, and I would just love the idea of speeding around the track, whilst there being science involved as well. But, it's another one that I have to cast aside. You have to have a lot of money to make it in Motorsport.

Now, my third one, surprise surprise is theme park and roller coaster related. I would love to design roller coasters, either like John Wardley, or like the boys at B&M or Intamin or wherever. The main problem with this is that I would have to do an engineering degree, and I'm sorry, but the prospect of me in Engineering is just hilarious. Plus, I'd have to do well at physics, and I am currently failing physics. To be fair to myself, it's the particle physics that I don't get, but that unfortunately is still part of the physics course. Therefore, my grade is dependent on whether I understand it or not.

There are other things that I would love to do, but are not necessarily my dreams per say. I could go into Biology, which I love. If I did this, then I would go into the research side, or maybe become a secondary school teacher. Biochemistry also interests me, as long it's not medical biochemistry, because that just doesn't. It's the molecules that I'm interested in, I could never be in pharmaceuticals, because I would never be able to handle the tests. If something went wrong, then I'd see it as my fault.

So, my third post in a day is now complete. Enjoy.

First Post.. a little about me to start with.

Well, this is my first post. So, wish me luck.
I've been wanting to make a blog for a while, but never really had the confidence to do so. I highly doubt anybody will read this, but on the off chance that they do. Thank you.

So, I'm sure people would want to know what has given me this confidence. Well, it's thanks to an Alton Towers forum, which goes by the name, TowersStreet. I've been (and still am) part of all 3 major forums that are based on Alton Towers, TowersTimes, TowersStreet and my personal favourite, TowersNerd. Anyway, back to my confidence thing. I have been parts of forums for a while, and never really given my opinions on things. I've been the one who sat back, watched and then asked questions, as if I know nothing. Two days back, there was a discussion (not an argument, I like to make that very clear) on whether or not Alton Towers would open their new ride (SW7) without all of the themeing (It may sound boring, but to me it most certainly is not) . So, this time I decided to get stuck in, yes I was hit down a few times as the discussion started to get more heated, but I enjoyed it, and I felt like I may actually be a valued member. Then last night there was another discussion which I got stuck into straight away, on how big this new project was compared to previous projects. I feel like I have grown so much over these past two evenings. So, I thought why not make a blog? If no-one reads it, then It's something for me to read over when I'm older.

So, onto my three favourite forums. I joined TowersTimes (TT) when I was about 7, as my brother had joined, and I was inclined to follow him. I posted about 4 posts, and then ran away scared. The people on TT can be aggressive in the way they put things across sometimes, especially when somebody offers an opposing view to theirs. As a seven-year-old I ran away terrified. In June two years back, I started looking at the forums again, as my interest and curiosity took over from the memories of my frightened self. This led me back to TT, I re-joined under a different name and just watched the forum, rather than posting. But due to this, I found a little forum hidden away at the back of the internet, TowersNerd (TN). It wasn't bustling with brand new news every ten seconds, but it gave the little news that was needed. I looked over the topics and found that they spoke to each other respectfully, and seemed to think about their answers. I happily joined. And, to this day it is still the forum that I've posted on the most. Now, TowersStreet (TS), I'm not quite sure why it was formed (some disagreement or something) but that's not important. It formed in the summer of 2012, and a lot of people joined out of interest I think, well I know that I did anyway. And, I think that's all to say about TowersStreet, sorry. I have fully re-joined TowersTimes now, and I post often. It's not all as scary as I first thought. If I'd have stayed for a little while longer when I was seven, I may have realised this and I could probably be a silver member by now. But these things are sent to try us.

It's interesting to see the differences in the forums. TowersStreet and TowersTimes are where you need to be the most independent, if you have a view and people don't agree you need to be able to stick up for yourself, but I personally find getting stuck into the 'discussions' fun. If however, you don't get involved in the big debates, then you won't be on the receiving end of any slight aggression. If you do want to post an opposing view though, don't expect a completely courteous reply. We're very stubborn people. Now, TowersNerd is a safe and good place for anybody who wants to be a young starter like me. It can feel like a big family at times. The important information is given to everybody. As previously stated though, it is not the busiest of places. This could hopefully change in the future if more people join. So, if you're hungry to post, then TT and TS are where you need to head over to. But, I would say to join all three, then you can;t possibly go wrong.

I'm not sure what I'll post about, probably some Theme Park stuff, some personal stuff, some football, some just random things.
I can tell you pretty much how often I'll post though, it'll be very regular at the start, then spread out, and then stop for a couple of months until I find it again, and then there'll be a pace set.
