That's what I like about you 1-Miss . . . . f*%k all!!!

I swear in the team event that when I walked out with no opponent present the flags twitched the other way first!! :cross_eye

(To be fair they had seen me do iai before!!)

[ScottUK]

Well, (gr)asshopper, there is such a thing as trying too hard.

Chill out, enjoy and just give a tidy presentation of the iai you do in the dojo. It should be serious, solid, dynamic and with purpose. It shouldn't be aggressive for aggressive's sake. While it impresses some people, it doesn't impress people that are senior enough to know better.

I personally prefer the iai you do in your dojo then the iai you do in competition.

[David G]

. . . . it doesn't impress people that are senior enough to know better..

That'll be everyone from 6-kyu upwards with my iai then . . .


I personally prefer the iai you do in your dojo then the iai you do in competition.

Thanks for the input.

Will try and do better . . . . . err . . . . . less . . . . . errr . . not try so hard . . . err . . . I mean . . .

I will try and relax more! (Got there in the end!!) :laugh:

[pgsmith]

I have it on the best of authority that you won't be able to do your best iai in competition without a raging hangover. I wouldn't know as I don't think I've ever done a competition without a hangover to know how badly I would have done. Keep that in mind for the next time, and let me know how it works out. :)

I can confirm this is true - my hangover (from a combination of beer, sake and shochu) is what got me through the UK nationals last year.

yugay you should listen to scott he knows what he is talking about, he is right you should have done the iaido you do in a normal class that way you would only get 2 flags against you !

[satsumaruma]

Yugay??

Is this a corruption of Yagyu? Is David G Yagyu?

this is all too surreal.


Brummies and Yamyams are weird....even by my pretty low standards they are weird:eek:

[ScottUK]

Yugay??

Is this a corruption of Yagyu? Is David G Yagyu?Indeed he is. He thinks that the term yugay will go away now he's changed his name.

Oh, yugay, yu will always be gay in our eyes.

[David G]

Yugay??

Yeh 1-Cut No-Thumb thought it up while on holiday. Impressive by his standards . . . now we just need to teach him to spell and use capital letters in the correct places.

I'm sure all those who practice Yagyu Shinkage-ryu will be pleased too.

[David G]

Indeed he is. He thinks that the term yugay will go away now he's changed his name.

Oh, yugay, yu will always be gay in our eyes.

Did not change the name for that reason . . . . although I'm only gay in a black & white 1930's movie way.





Although my boyfriends a complete bender . . . . . . :laugh:

You think?

Work on your capitalisation, punctuation, grammar and syntax.........

It IS our 'mother tongue'.........

[ScottUK]

It IS our 'mother tongue'.........Don't mention mother's tongue to the Dudley Oedipus Boys (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oedipus_complex). They'll be even more incoherent 'cos they won't be able to concentrate with all the imagery they will be conjuring up.

The 'Dudley Boys' may well be disconbobulated by your putting
'tongue' and 'conjure up' in the same sentence.

[satsumaruma]

Oddly,

now we are on to a concept such as Mother Tongue, I am assured that those of them who hail from the West of Midlandshire doth verily spake the most original of English.

Apparently, the rise and fall type of speaking beloved of Brummie and Yamyam is how our ancestors, (danes, Vikings, Saxons, Jutes, Picts, Scots possibly Britons and celts would have spoken albeit using different words) This all changed with the coming of the Romans and again, much later with the Normans.

Odd eh?

Hmm.........
I think that these 'gangs' arrived after the Romans had retreated to pasta-land...........

[GothMelancolia]

Yep the romans were first, but I believe they found celts there. From little i know about UK history

[satsumaruma]

Actually, ALL our ancestors did that, ya pilchard!!


Hmm.........

Uhuh but I did also mention the Picts, Scots, Celts and Britons who WERE here before the Romans (as were the Jutes allegedly, but that depends on which historian you wish to believe).

These tribes apparently had a strong Nordic lilt to the way they spoke which the Romans 'flattened with latin being used here. More 'lilting' with the influx of angles, saxons, danes, vikings, Irishmen, frisians which was then levelling out nicely to be flattened further with the Normans (who, although Vikings long since settled in -now- northern France, had assimiliated much of the Frankish tongue at the time).

Or so my history master told me at school, which I took to be fairly accurate as he had written books on the stuff, and was, according to him, taught at one point by a certain JRR Tolkien at Leeds. Don't know if he was being honest but see no reason why he should lie.

[satsumaruma]

LOL your Uk history isn't too bad but your maths is terrible.

Surely, by your thinking, the Romans had to be SECOND if the Celts were already there??

Sorry for being a pedant!!!!

[GothMelancolia]

Sorry,
My bad
Yep romans were after the celts, and from what I understand your teacher told you, they were not even the second people to occupy those lands.
Anyways, I envy your teacher for meeting JRR Tolkien

[still learning]

Anyways, I envy your teacher for meeting JRR Tolkien

Have you read 'The Silmarillion' ?

Whatever Tolkien was using at the time must have been 'beastly strong'!

It is far too similar to 'Genesis' [the Book - - not the band] in it's accounts of 'much begetting'........

[still learning]

Yep it's great book, a little to complex, its looks more like a sketch for a bigger novel but great nonetheless. And I loved the idea of the world being created as a symphony. The best Genesis ever (and i read lots of Sci-fi and Fantasy books)
Actually i dont belive it to be "begetting'", just little to complicated, the X son of Y and Z got the A daughet of B and C -to much info to little space

.....well he said he did. Whether he actually did or not who knows (well he does I guess).

No before the celts were the Britons and before them just people who would most likely have travelled from the shores of France when the gap was quite narrow. I have read since that the idea that people lived in what is now England when it was still joined to the main European landmass is not correct. Anyone know more on this?

Yes, Read it twice. Fingol, Fingolfin, Feanor, the giant eagles, Balrogs, Hidden Kingdom, Turin Turambar. Superb stuff.

And you are right that it is basically Genisis(ish)...... but with an Anglo-saxon feel to it. I read that Tolkien did not like the fact that GB did not have the same ancient myths as Judea, Greece, Egypt, Sumeria etc so he set about doing this with the Silmarillion.


Back off, Sats!

Pervery is yours - - - Pedantry is mine!

Sorry Billy but all words beginning with P and ending in Y are mine.

Pervery, pedantry, pratty, petty, piddly, pissy, prissy, poetry, pansy (?? er okay maybe not that one hahahahahahahaha)

I read that it was one of his middle works- chronologically speaking. Start with The Hobbit, then Lord of the Rings, then Silmarillion, I think there was more work on LOtR, then a whole host of smaller books like the Forgotten Tales. He also did much work on the languages of the races who inhabited middle earth not to mention the development of the races themselves. Uesd to have lots of books on this but have a habit of lending the things out and never getting them back.

Ne'er mind.
