I have been known to dabble in long-distance walking and in a parallel universe I'm sure I must have walked the length and breadth of the UK and beyond. In this particular universe, however, I've only documented two major expeditions, and here they are. Walkers who want to know more about the C-2-C should visit the official site of the Coast-to-Coast Walk. Another good walking site with multifarious links is Mike Brockhurst's "Walking Englishman".
	I've rediscovered snooker in this land of billiard tables with no pockets, and it took me years to root out the only snooker club in Paris. If you're over here and you want to play snooker (or any other cue game for that matter) in a convivial environment, let me save you the search and suggest a trip to the Safety Club at Paris La Chapelle (Tel.: 01.46.07.42.02, Métro: Porte de la Chapelle).
	If you're fabulously wealthy - maybe you made a mint when the Soviet empire crumbled - and you're a fan of the beautiful game, why not invest in a super little football club? Look no further than Bury FC. With your wealth, they could become the new Wigan Athletic! Go on, you know it makes sense. Cheques or postal orders welcome.
