1,2,3... Is this thing on?

If, by any small miracle this blog entry actually publishes, the image above is a reasonably fitting metaphor to describe what's happening. 

Like RoadworkUK, my Audi is sitting, forlornly with a layer of dust and dew on it, and, like RoadworkUK, today it has been  brought back into use again just today after a long period of lying dormant. I'd like to thank spambots all over the world for clogging up my comments section -  their poorly disguised links to essay-writing services have actually kept the blog visible to the Googlebots.

 

The long and the short of it is simply, I'm back. Or It's back. Whatever. Many of the upcoming blog entries will likely be extremely rough and ready, being created ad hoc from my mobile phone, such as I'm doing now. Expect to find all kinds of car-related nonsense - mainly of stuff too obscure for me to put on Hooniverse, so stay tuned for future broadcasts on this frequency. It's good to be back.

The @RoadworkUK Twitter Channel remains active. You should follow me. I'm more interesting than James Corden.

Blowing the dust off...

Good grief, would you look at the dust around here? Disgusting. 

Look, I haven't abandoned this place, I assure you, it's just that I find it really difficult to achieve that perfect work/life balance and, with it, produce quality editorial for my own website while contributing worthwhile stuff for Hooniverse. The fact that I clicked onto RoadworkUK only to be welcomed by "This domain name is parked" is embarrassing, to say the least.

Anyway; the image above is a taster of a raft of stuff I'm about to feed into the big, hungry jaws of Hooniverse, and if they don't want it then it'll more than likely turn up here. RoadworkUK isn't dead, just neglected. I owe it a lot, and still love it. Meanwhile; click over here for my Hooniverse musings.

But please, please keep coming back.

Thanks again, Hooniverse

Most of you have landed on RoadworkUK by clicking on a link over on Hooniverse. It's my favouritest website in the whole world, ever. They're good to me over there, they let me post my Trans-European adventure of 2009 and now they've done it again.

If you're not aware of Hooniverse, and you want to read about Nicola and I driving across Europe, eating, drinking and sleeping in a 1995 Peugeot 306, Click here. Even if you don't want to read any of that, you should still head over to Hooniverse, 'cos they're awesome.

Roadwork thanks Hooniverse.

 

My great friends, the excellent blokes over at Hooniverse have let me contribute a feature for Labour Day. Find it here, and spend some time looking around the site while you're there. 

Cheers!

A Project Too Far

It's better to regret something you have done, than something you haven't done. 

This sentiment rings loud in my mind as I write this in hope of catharsis, to sooth the aches of regret that currently course through every vein in my body, for I have just had to turn down the project I always wanted.
