Kevin Riggins – Stuck In The Lift With The Cynic
Posted by The Cynic in Interviews on January 10, 2010
Some say that people should use the stairs more in the new year to burn off the excess calories accumulated over the holiday period. I’m not one of those people so am continuing to take the lift. Lucky for me, Kevin Riggins of infosecramblings.com fame also subscribes to my philosophy, so he has the [...]

As part of my feeble attempts to lose weight I’ve been trying to cut down on my calorie intake, work out a bit and try to walk wherever I can. Unfortunately, walking up stairs stills gives me a near cardiac arrest so I’m still taking the lift.
Much to my surprise, I found myself [...]

Not a person to miss once in a lifetime opportunities I jumped in and [...]
Kai Roer – Stuck in the lift with the Cynic
Posted by The Cynic in Interviews, Uncategorized on July 30, 2009

It’s been claimed from time to time that I actually sabotage lifts in order to ensure some face time with someone. But I put it down to just bad luck. A bit like how Bruce Willis in the Die Hard films always ends up at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Today, sharing my luck [...]
