Up here in Canada the free democratic and captialist society of Ontario and Canada have decided that to stimulate competition and fair market bah bah.... only one cable company is needed. It's called Rogers. I was a member for years. But if you do not have cable you have to pay an extra 15$ a month. And 60$ is allot of money for internet access. (plus taxes )

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Actually, Canada has the highest per capita usage of high-speed internet (DSL or Cable). I use Rogers Cable myself and haven't had any problems in over a year. It's about 40$ CAN or 25$ US a month and I think it is well worth it. I never want to touch a dial-up modem again.

Definitely sounds like you need to find a new club

No, no, no, you miss my point - my club is great - it is balanced training

being in a major urban centre as you are.

I spend as little time in Manchester as possible and actually live in the Cheshire countryside

to be fair, kata isn't supposed to be taken quite so literally

I knew d'at, my point is that kata is the be all and end all at many clubs.

I think you'll find that kick boxing is even more long-ranged than shotokan.

It is not actually. A lot of it is close range attack combinations and using elbows and knees. The distance punching and kicking is not as fluid as the Shotokan style but is more... tough to describve but instinctive sums it up.

I can't imagine why you got into it in the first place.

seemed a good idea for the first 30 seconds but then I won my first few fights (that biting is a great leveller)

The best you can do (other than avoiding the fight in the first place) is to arm yourself with a technique that is geared towards real combat rather than competition and/ or meditation and/ or impressing girlies. I think Shotokan fits that description.

I agreer with all this but what you also jhave to remeber is that you are as likley to be as drunk as El Smeggo who is having a pop at you. You try doing a spinkick when you need to hold onto the floor for support

Wow... I can really ramble, can't I?

Yes, but it is one of your more endearing qualities

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">True, but this applies to any form of self-defence, from karate to kickboxing to gun ownership to running away. The only possible solution is to stay sober, which in my opinion is worse than getting your head kicked in.

Scoffo, LOL

Yes, I would rather be drunk than standing at the bar scowling at everyone looking (or trying to look) hard

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

HEY! Where can you get a drink around here?

Re: Ye Olde Galactic Bar & Grill & Phong\'s Head Cantina
 

Capt. Kwok, I agree, never again for a dial up modem, except in emergency or from a friends house, I have cable tv, so with the tv and the cable modem i pay around $34 a month, I was already paying $29 just for the tv, so it was only $5 more a month... the only problem is that even if your comp is turned off, someone can still hack thru, so when my system not if use, I just unplug the old metal beastie, (it also keeps it from thinking up new ways to frustrate me) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I sent my race into Mephisto....for the game, let loose the doggies, puddy tats, fluffy bunnies, and whatever else of war,..... the universe will never be the same again..

Gozra, Brewskis are available along with fine cuisine from Tesco or Puke's wonder sauces. Eat drink and be merry here at the ole Cantina, everyone is welcome, so join in with discussion or banter, pull up a chair, plug in the old metal contraption and enjoy yourself....

PS. ON TV news the Last two days, supposedly, a well respected doctor has come foreward and said that the "KING" (Elvis) is alive and that his death was a hoax. He has passed lie detector and CVSA tests, they are cking handwriting and DNA for confirmation. Supposedly his ex wife and family know about it... He's supposed to be coming out sometime this year as he is ill and wants to make a clean slate.... Very interesting story. If true, it will be greatest hoax of the century. just thought you might want to know..

be careful, be very very careful
look to the sky
its "THEM"

just some ideas

Tigga,

I am sure your wife likes centurion legs. We have already established that she is risen from the grave and the Last centurion died 1700 years ago, so there is little doubt she likes the undead look.

However, I am still confused by your conflicting testimony. The Supermodel down the hall claims you look like Shreck, yet you claim to be leaner than lean. My memory of Shreck was that he was green and fat. Unless you can resolve this material discrepancy, I will be forced to assume that you are either fat, green or full of hot air. Actually, I think that I may have just found the truth…

Mac, if your computer is turned off, nobody can hack into it. Nothing can be done in a computer if no electricity is going through the circuits and such.
