After swimming practice last night, I finally decided to give up smoking. I was coughing and wheezing like an old man trying to do my 400m freestyle.
It’s been almost 25 hours since my last cigarette, and I was kinda cranky on the boat today.
The rest of the crew have a sweep going as to how long I last before crack
This was the first morning in 4 years when I haven’t opened my eyes and sparked up a fag and stuck it in my mouth…

I’ve decided as of this week to stop drinking.
I thought it would be a good start to my new life in Thailand if from when I get there I just don’t drink. It’ll be easier just to tell people I don’t drink and that’s that, rather than maybe having the odd one or two and then if I’m on a night out you get into that whole ‘oh go on just have another’ shite.
So nae drugs and nae booze for me, just sun, sand and good living
I am however still smoking, but only because I look so cool when I do so…

Hello – I’m BigFatJim
I currently live in Glasgow and work in IT.
But, come December I’m moving to Pattaya in Thailand to spend 9 months training to be a scuba diving instructor (not a mid-life crisis honest)
This blog was created so I could share my escapades, antics and general hijinx whilst I’m training for my new career. The course starts in December so will get into full swing then.
In the mean time tune in for occasional random nonsense.
