That's awesome though, I wish I'd had the stones to do that, I just trained in this country in the next town. I'm very, very grateful to the pioneering generation who went out to bring karate here from Japan. Without guys like you, we wouldn't have anywhere to train whatsoever.

I myself wasn’t pioneering, very far from it, but I was greatly inspired by those guys who truly were.
When I was five or six years old a colleague of my dads had come back after some time in Japan, a visit at his home he had a Japanese sword displayed, he showed its sharpness by slicing a sheet of paper, I was amazed by its sharpness and its beauty , he had also done some lendo there in Japan, that’s what set my compas toward the far east and its martial arts, but when I finally came to Japan I was there just a short while, sometimes kind of regret i didn’t stay longer opportunity was there but I didn’t jump on it, really why I don’t know, but on my way to there I had come in contact with other things, such as China, maybe life already from beginning is a set journey

I dunno, I mean I've never even been in an aeroplane, the furthest I've been is France. I don't need to go abroad for my holidays- I already live in West Wales. When we were kids, holidays meant going to see grandma and grandad, not Spain. TBH we probably enjoyed that more. The wierd thing was that our grandparents were FAR stricter with their kids than they were with us, but grandad was cool. He taught me how to work on high voltage electric circuitry when I was about 12. He also showed me how to charge up a high voltage capacitor, then put a screwdriver across the terminals and make it explode.

My visiting cat just called, first time in months. I gave her a saucer of milk, despite the fact that I'm not allowed to. She is a lovely pussycat

although she clearly sees me as some sort of disgusting peasant which, in fact, is quite accurate

I can honestly say I wish I had done something similar as opposed to what I actually did
I was exposed to Japanese culture at a young age by the things my father brought home from Japan, that he purchased while on leave there during the Vietnam war. That did get me into Japanese Jiujutsu though, just in the USA

Years later I considered going to China to train and teach English, but I got married to my first wife instead.... should have gone to China

I was seen as weirdo in my late teens spending my savings going to Japan training Karate instead of staying home and buy a cool car……heck, just training karate was(maybe still is ?) weirdo

Again, I can honestly say I wish I had done something similar, as opposed to what I actually did

The night garden on CBeebies is a strange thing to watch when you're secretly going through alcohol withdrawal and you're on the verge of a hypomanic episode and had 5 hours sleep last night. I will not, however, drink in front of the children. I know better than most what that stuff does to people.

Dealing with the non-state side of my soon to be Ex-IT office, my attitude can be pretty much summed up with this

What's even better is, I'm right and they can't do thing one about it....

Haven’t had a holiday travel for ages, 20 yrs at least, when I travel it’s in between the holidays and within the country, to the places I’m already familiar, I’m not really adventurous

Holidays.... usually home on holidays....travel...I just go where Mrs Xue tells me to go. Depending on the destination, all I am is a luggage bearer and a occasional chauffer...

I have visiting cats, one I call Rosalind who is a beautiful, refined, elegant kitty and one I call Hague who is a fluffy idiot, a few others. I once came home from work to find the cats in the house, but I do not in fact own any cats. Rosalind actually loves a cwtch but the other two are a bit more wary. There's also a big black dude and a huge, fat ginger dude.

My favourite visiting cat passed on a few years ago. We called her 'Mrs.Jones' because you never saw her and Mrs.Jones in the same place and the same time (That's a joke), and she was a brindled cat. She was unbelievably long lived. She started visiting when I was 10-12 and she only died a few years ago. For this reason, we called her 'Mrs.Jones' because she weas impossibly long lived, so we pretended she was a witch. I was young then.

Do they do bag gloves in children's sizes? My nephew likes to hit things hard with solid objects. Everyone is like 'channel his energy into creativity' but I think there's nothing like hitting things as hard as you can, there is nothing wrong with committing acts of violence against heavy bags.

A very impressive longevity for a cat. Rest in Peace, Mrs. Jones.

Please keep me in your prayers. Having a right elbow replacement tomorrow. 4 to 5 hour procedure. Surgery usually doesn't rattle me, but this one has me worried.
