Would have been a pretty cool degree, but they don't do it over here. I imagine they would in America.
Again with the gay reference, just accept you're in denial about your true feelings ... As its Valentine's Day, I'm sure Chaos will be more than happy to give you that special touch you've obviously been craving
To be honest, the avatar pic is a bit out of date. I tend to use ballistic nylon / Kevlar these days ...
I've no idea what that is .. only time I've seen fencing is in the Olympics... I'm all for hobbies it's never been one on the cards ... our school never did it that's for sure and the local authorities never send anyone to do it either. I have a samurai sword which I used to chase away two burglars a few years ago though... it definitely gives you an edge.( bought at that shop next to the old cinema at the Metro centre) got on the bus home with a sword wrapped up an and u could see the handle lol. How did you get into it?
True mate they used to sell them and knives right next to a sweet shop. I was quite young myself when I bought it... they were sold as ornamental but you could still sharpen them.
Local NE coach turned up at my school and offered to run some classes for the PE Dept so thought I'd give it a try - turns out I wasn't too shabby Made World Student Games squad in '92, then GB training squad from '94 - 2002. Fenced at Club, Regional, National and International B level. Only missed out on A Grade Internationals, World and European Championships and Olympics. ****ed my knee up competing in France in 2013, so been out of action competitively since then, but still do some team comps for my club etc
Nah, to be fair, the main issue I had was getting consistent results - mainly due to work impacting on training etc. Plus we actually had some bloody good fencers in men's épée at the time, including my eventual coach, a guy called Steve Paul (who was Pierce Brosnan's stunt double for the fencing in Die Another Day, Bond film)
Can't remember what it was called but they had big glass windows.. I think the owners were Indian... they sold speakers, electrical gadgets, knives, swords , disco lights, strobes, pipes and all kinds of ****... it was on the right next to a shop called sweets galore... it was essentially the John menzies end .. right opposite the bus stop... I bet loads Remember the shop.
Nah it was where the bus stop was as you entered and pizza hut next. Then the old cinema and then this mental shop was behind the escalators. There must have been 2 because I'm 100% on this.
Well I'm trying to explain the shop that sold swords actually.. can you remember it .. big glass windows with shelves right to the top.
The shops at that end were probably quite successful due the the location of the cinema... when that moved that end died amd then came the success of the Internet which finished the rest of the place off. The sweet shop deserved it.
