Wheelchair [race] the tube

Hello, You may have seen the recent video entitled ‘Race the Tube – Sprint’ in which a man with working legs left the underground circle lane at Mansion House, ran along the street and back onto the same train as it approached Cannon Street. Impressive. In case you haven’t seen it. Here it is: The […]

London with Maureen

Hello, I might as well live in London. I was down yet again yesterday (Sunday) with my great cousin, Maureen. I adore spending time with her. But it had worked out with my final year of university that meeting up was put on hold. A final push, and my degree was complete. Summer came, and […]

Better Together, Emma and Richard Branson

Yesterday, as always, I had a splendid day in London. I jumped on a Boris Bike near St Pancras and headed to The British Museum. I have never stepped foot in here before and I don’t know why. The artefacts on show are overwhelming. Then I jumped on another Boris Bike and headed towards Westminster, […]

Cycling 111 miles

Yesterday I cycled 85 miles ish from Wellingborough to London! I forgot to check my odometer as I arrived and only checked it after I took part in Critical Mass. I met up with Tom and then we all cycled for hours. I left around 10.50pm. All in all, yesterday I travelled 111 miles, for […]

World Naked Bike Ride 2014

Better late than never!  I have finally got round to editing together all of the footage I had taken during the World Naked Bike Ride in London.  It took place on Saturday 14th June which was, coincidentally, the Queen’s Birthday Parade.  My friend and I went down to London and naturally went to watch the […]

Samuel Shoesmith graduated from the University of Nottingham

Life update

Long time no update. Time flies. Since I finished at University I have been on holiday with Sophie to visit my friend Amy in Grenoble, France. It was a lovely break away after the final stretch of university. Weather was lovely! As I said in my last vlog, I cycled with no clothes on through central […]

2014-06-02 – Naked Bike Ride and Critical Mass – Vlog 23 by Samuel Shoesmith

On Friday 14th June I will be riding a bicycle through central London with no clothes on. I’ll be taking part in the annual World Naked Bike Ride.  It’s a ride against oil dependency, against car culture, for the love of the body and for cycling safety. I’ll be using this as an opportunity to […]

On Friday 21st February, for a module called Technology, Material Change and Social Change, a group of us students and Dr David Parker went to visit Fairdinkum Furniture / Outback and Deli-Cious Chocolate in Sherwood.  The intention was to see how objects are made and fashioned into a final product from raw materials.  As with […]

2014-02-04 – Happy Birthday Facebook!

Ten years ago Facebook was founded. I am someone who has posted a few times in the past attempting to lure people to other social networks (mainly Google+) so would not seem a likely person to sing Facebook’s praises.  But that is exactly what I am going to do. As shown in Mark Zuckerberg’s post, the […]

2013-11-28 – Christmas in a Day

Hello, Yesterday, Tiffany and I were invited to see the film premiere of  ‘Christmas in a Day’ in BAFTA, Piccadilly. Why were we invited? Well, we were in it.  Just before Christmas Day 2012, I heard about a project called ‘Christmas in a Day’.  I had heard about and submitted footage for ‘Britain in a […]

2013-11-17 – Happy Bikeday Sam! – Vlog 18 by Samuel Shoesmith

Some of the thing I got up to this summer.

Happy Anniversary to me

Happy Anniversary to me!  Opps.  I talked about it on Google Plus, Facebook and on Twitter yesterday but I forgot to talk about it here. Yesterday was the 6th anniversary of my brain haemorrhage!  Six whole years.  Wow!   As I do each year, I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to […]

2013-10-22 – Memory is great

Memory. I love memories. Memories of experiences throughout our lives make for great, well rounded individuals. Life needs to be full of out-there experiences and that’s what I am trying to do. It’s all fine sitting at the computer or reading something and staying inside your bubble but sometimes you need to enter the real […]

2013-09-30 – 30 days hath September

Oh dear. I have fallen into the trap again. Letting my time slip by and not having any evidence that I have done anything productive. Over the next few weeks, I shall compile some clips from my summer holidays. Whilst it was still September, I thought I would post something on here. It’s not creative […]

2013-08-13 – Jobs

Hello, Long time no post.  Again.  I seem to say that a lot.  Life is too rich to remember to do this and remember to do that.  Life needs to be experienced, and noted some of the time. I have just seen this film trailer for ‘Jobs Official American Legend’ and I do really want […]
