Wow!

Jet skiing is cool. More than cool. TRY IT, you'll absolutely love it :) I now have J crossed off the A - Z list of transport, now a choice between Clay pigeon shooting, Zorbing or Rage karting...

Current RJ count - 18

The art of random

Read my list or don't, preferably don't as your own list will be even more fun to try out. Be creative, say it out loud and if the thought of it makes you laugh then do it. Cost is not an issue, I work two jobs but will be planning no 5 star trips anytime soon. Unless you're trying a crash course in bomb disposal the worst that will happen is you'll do it once, hate it and have something funny to tell people about over a drink or 5. The secret of staying young is forever keeping yourself active and the art of random should guarentee a life free from boredom. Keep a pen and paper with you, especially when nature calls as the flushing throne has provided much inspiration in the past.

Do something really nice for someone you hate / who hates you. (It'll confuse the hell out of them!)
Learn a new language
Learn to play an instrument
Paint a self portrait

Try something new, something you've never thought of doing such as: -
Ice sculpting
Duck Herding
Ferret Racing
Knitting
Clay Pot making
Buy something at a live auction (one with people in a room, not ebay)

How about something further afield?
La Tomatina
Bull Run
Festival of the Dead
Wife carrying
Cheese Rolling

Stop reading and start doing. Circus coming to town? And you've never seen it? THEN GO! They're crowning a new king on some random island you've never heard of? I'm there!

By the way, at last count i've found 4 Ross Jenkins' so far, all of which are very welcome :)

The one and many Ross Jenkins

Following on from a fascination with doing new and random things, another gem has cropped up. I've never been a huge fan of my name but for once i'm embracing it. I know but 2 other Ross's in this world and even less Ross Jenkins' so I thought I'd track em all down! Through the glory of Facebook and the like I hope to find as many of us as possible. So far I've tracked down rockstars in Glasgow, footballers (I was named after an RJ footballer), and RJ's in Belgium, Oz, the states and of course in Wales (think Smith in England, Gurung in Nepal and anything ending in 'ski' in Russia). The search continues...
