Half Marathon time again....

OK....so 'The Great North Run' half marathon always figures in my life somewhere along the line, so this year with it being the 30th anniversary, and numbers are hard to come by (even though there is only about 54000 people running it) i figured i will run for a charity - it gets me a number and also raises money for a good cause.
There are loads of charities out there so i thought it would be nice to run for one of the 'lesser known' charities.
So this year is gonna be TB ALERT, which helps people with TB and Lung diseases.
I have to raise £250 in sponsorship by Sept 19th 2010.....will you help???
Drop me a line and you can watch me sweat it out for the charity, a medal and most importantly.....A T-SHIRT!!!

C'mon folks...help me Ob iWan Kenobi...you're my only hope....

The Anatomy of a can....

Hey! Ever wondered what is in side a spray can? I have, and after reading bits from the MONSTER site - in particular the info for the premier paint range - it got me thinking......
So this is what happened......
1. I got an old can - this was used and there was no more paint to be sprayed from it.
2. After making a hole in it (from a distance) I opened it up by using a junior hacksaw..
WARNING - DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS AS THE CANS ARE PRESSURISED AND WE DON'T WANT ANY ACCIDENTS NOW, DO WE?......
 

3. Then i emptied out the remaining contents.  There was actually still quite a bit of paint in the can - probably about 40-50mls left. And its really nice and bright! Also, you can see the steel balls that are inside a can. When you shake a can and hear it rattle, this is what the rattle is - its actually a really cool way of mixing the paint - but a bit noisy!




4. Then, once the paint is out, you can clearly see the tube that extends to the bottom of the can and where it joins the valve at the top of the can!
 

And thats it! Remember kids - use spray paint for legal pieces coz the illegal stuff just aint worth it! (...ahem...ahem..)
