Kimi triumphs against the odds!

Today I was pleased to see that Kimi Raikkonen scored a brilliant against-the-odds victory in the Hungarian Grand Prix on a day when world championship leader Fernando Alonso came away empty-handed.

Raikkonen arrived in Budapest on the back foot following his retirement from the lead at Hockenheim, which saddled him with the major handicap of being the first man out on the dusty Hungaroring circuit in qualifying.

EuroJam Opening Ceremony!

I thought the opening ceremony was pretty good with Peter Duncan (the Chief Scout and former Blue Peter presenter) abseiling on to the stage at the climax.

In the bit about the UK Scotland was represented by Franz Ferdinand and the Saltaire and Northern Ireland was represented by U2 and also by the flag of the Red hand on St Georges cross. England was represented by Robbie Williams.

The band was the Bogus Brothers and Stomp also featured. I took a seat out to watch the fun & games, I think a good night was had by all concerned, most importantly by the Scouts concerned!

Removed EuroJam countdown from Blog!

As EuroJam has now started I thought I would remove the countdown from my Blog!

EuroJam Setup Weekend

Had a weekend at Hylands Park to prepare for the forthcoming EuroJam Scout Jamboree!

EuroJam Preparation!

Today, I spent most of the day getting things ready for my forthcoming time away at EuroJam. By the time I had finished packing I had compiled quite a mountain of kit which I then had to fit in my case, which was fun!

Hornsea Scouts Water Evening!

Going to help at my local Scout group this evening which is always good fun, and this evening it promises to be particularly good as it is the last one before Summer! We are therefore have been completing a water evening at the Scout Headquarters which should be good fun as always! Will post more when I have the time.

Gym!

Today, I made my way to the gym I have joined at Hornsea Leisure Centre in order to increase my fitness in preparation for EuroJam!

Now I am feeling tired so I shall say goodnight, sorry for such a short update this evening!

Countdown to EuroJam!

Well, after a lot of work by all concerned including me, the time has nearly come for the event to take place down at Hylands Park, in Essex. If you take a look on the site we have placed a new countdown timer to tell you the exact time until the event takes place, and it actually corresponds with the one on my site which is amazing in itself! We actually changed the menu buttons on the website as well so go on take a look, by clicking the title above!

EuroJam will be the biggest Scouting and Guiding Event in Europe for 10 years. It is 12 action – packed days of new challenges and new friends from 29 July to 10 August 2005 at Hylands Park, Chelmsford, near London in the UK.

There will be participants from 57 countries, including all but one from the European Scout Region. With over 10,000 people on-site, the event promises to be the experience of a lifetime for Scouts and Guides from all over Europe and beyond. It should be quite a bit of fun as long as the British weather is kind to us, we shall just have to wait a short while now to see!

What does my birthday mean?

I was frequenting lots of different websites when I came across this on a link from James Weblog, I actually think it is quite true and quite interesting, so I thought I would include it hear for general viewing!

Your Birthdate: May 15

With a birthday on the 15th of any month, you are apt to have really strong attachments to home, family and domestic scene. The 1 and 5 equaling 6, provide the sort of energy that makes you an excellent parent or teacher. You are very responsible and capable. This is an attractive and an attracting influence. You like harmony in your environment and strive to maintain it. You tend to learn by observation rather than study and research. You may like to cook, but you probably don't follow recipes. This number shows artistic leanings and would certainly support an talents that may be otherwise in your makeup. You're a very generous and giving person, but perhaps a bit stubborn in ways.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Celebration for Graduation!

Tonight I went out to see "The Springsteen Experience" at Floral Hall in Hornsea, after all Carnival only happens in Hornsea once a year and I missed last years event due to completing my MSc in Scarborough! I saw quite a few people I had not seen for a while, including one I hadn't seen since I was 16 which was a long time ago! During the evening I celebrated completing my MSc and the graduation ceremony which after all can be just as stressful as the course itself, however, all went well and I think the evening was enjoyable for all concerned! Anyway until I make my next entry this is Andrew Kemp MSc signing off will speak again soon!
