MEME: Questions.
MEME: What subcategory of Goth best fits you?
![]() |
You scored as Old-school Goth. You are an old-school goth. Forget Tina and Rogue, your idols are still Siouxsie and Peter and Fat Bob, and black lipstick and white powder is still the way to go.

Martial Arts Musings
Well it was another seminar/grading day, they seem to be coming around faster and faster. This one was about two and a half weeks after the last one, which is not really enough time to learn a grade. Well not if you want to actually know what you are doing, and not just try and fake your way through. So I decided to sit out the grading part of the day. I would have missed the whole day, but it was a bagua seminar, so I fancied turning up for that.
So during the grading’s I sat back and watched what was going on, which was interesting since there was someone doing my grade, so it was good to be able to watch. Well would have been if he had actually done the moves as I have been taught, or had seen. It’s a good job I was not grading really, ad I would have had to grade with him, and it would have looked very shabby with us both doing different things.
But, even with doing things in a different way, missing out several parts of the syllabus, he scored a respectable 96%. Which got me thinking, I am still the only person who has ever failed a grading since I started training, I have seen some very shoddy attempts, and some downright abysmal ones where even the basic manners were missing, Yet they all passed. Ok, when I failed it was when my shoulder injury was at its worst, and the only reason I was given was “well you have a bad shoulder”.
Ok, bad shoulder, what did it disrupt? Well out of 23 segments, each one having several parts, I messed up the last part of one of the segments, and that’s it. Yet this guy missed out whole sections and got 96%, it makes no sense…
Ah well, I think I’ve just lost heart with the whole thing, I original joined due to the weapon training, which has now gone, and we are doing more of the sparring, grappling areas, which I have no interest in. Add to that the new syllabus being sparring biased, and the next stage involving fitness tests (if I wanted to do fitness training/tests I would have joined a gym) I am finding I enjoy less and less of the nights. I’ve already dropped down to two nights a week martial arts, one fencing.
I could do with re-finding some enjoyment in it soon:-
Ah well, such is life..
MEME: What vampire clan do you belong to?
![]() |
You scored as Brujah. You belong to the Brujah bloodline: the punks, rabble, and anarchists of the vampire underworld. The Brujah often have a score to settle with someone upstairs and aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty. While they are very passionate about their beleifs, they are often so volatile that they can’t stop fighting amongst themselves long enough to organize anything more than a brawl.

MEME: What kind of evil are you/What Vampire would you attracct
Greetings and Salutations.
I’ve decided to add this greeting to the top of this post to welcome you to this blog. This page seems to be a popular entry page from web searches. Yet there is not much on here apart from a couple of MeMe quizes I sat to waste time many years ago. So why dont you take a moment to wander about and check out a few more posts while you are here.
Well its a lovely hot afternoon, the heat of the office is being blown around by a fan, the phones are quiet, no deadlines are approaching, and its one of them lazy feeling days, it almost feels like a sunday. So I thought I’d do a couple of meme’s.
what kind of evil are you

you are pure evil you dont care want to be left alone and dont care who dies
Take this quiz!
What kind of Anime Vampire would you attract?
You attract the Deadly Vampires.Ooooh….violent, are we? Hm, indeed…well. I encourage your lust for all things bloody, and fear your ability with a decent weapon. Just, try not to kill everyone you meet. I know how hard that can be…
How You Would Kill: You probably prefer simpler, more effective methods of killing, usually a gun or possibly a nice dagger. Quick…and deadly…
How Your Lover Would Treat you: You two might seem pretty distant at first, but deep down, it’s a sharp,soulful union. She would do anything for you, and…well…anything to you…I hope you’re submissive….
Your Quote: “The butchery’s irrational…yet meticulous and delibrate. Altogether a different breed of killer.”

Weekend: Sun, Smashing & Sun Inn
I think the summer is finally here, last weekend was great, Hot, Sunny, and just the right temperature, and just a small amount of rain on the Sunday evening. Then Monday was torrential rain, fog, storms, which looked to be continuing this morning. But no, The suns out, its hot (Damn hot in the office!!) and looks nice.
So updates and stuff.
The Weekend.
Saturday was spent helping to move some rubble, and help make a start removing a greenhouse, and the junk stored round the back of it. Including 2 cast iron, old style baths with the lion claw feet and such. I may be a lazy person, but on hot sunny day I sometimes enjoy doing a bit of physical work. Two things were learnt during this time.
- Cast Iron Baths are very heavy! And two people can not carry them from round the back of a greenhouse, down a narrow path and get them into a high sided trailer.
- Cast Iron Baths are tough, and will withstand being smashed with hammers of various sizes, and use of lump hammer and coal chisel, but explode nicely when confronted by an idiot with a sledgehammer.
So after a day out in the sun, what better way to spend the evening than sitting in a beer garden drinking cold beer.
Sunday, what did I do Sunday? Err can’t remember, oh that was it, I spent the day in llangollen, checking out the large book shop, then a quick dinner down by the river, Then a walk up into the hills to sit and read while admiring the view.
MEME: interview by – penthisilea
1) Who do you consider the greatest inspiration to you in your life. Who do you aspire to be like and why?
I suppose my tiad. He never let anything get him down, always had several scams running at any one time, could talk anyone into anything, and had the great philosophy of the good night out. He believed you had not had a good night out unless you came home drunk, after a brilliant time, and with more money then you left the house with. He got to travel the world and met loads of famous people, which is not bad for a miner, I also remember him chatting up a young blonde lass when he was in his early seventies… So I guess I would like to be like him.
2) Who would you say is your best friend, and why them?
That title belongs to Jarvis, for being my oldest friend, in the sense of knowing him the longest, and the fact we went through school together, worked our way up the ranks in cadets together, started drinking at the same time, hell his sister was the first person to kick me out a pub for underage drinking (ok with hindsight, drinking in the pub where my best mates sister was the barmaid probably not my brightest idea). We would have joined the army together as well, apart from my love of lieins, and a problem with authority… But we still get to have major pissups whenever he’s home on leave.
3) What would you consider the most romantic moment in your life? And who was it with? and why was it so romantic?
Most romantic moment in my life?
Good question, I’ve been racking my brain, and even using the memory booster that is vodka. And I am struggling to answer this one, But I have decided for someone who is a romantic at heart, I have not really had much romantic moments, which is a very odd thing, ok, several of my relationships have been purely physical based, and most I just drifted into. I am a paradox, the soul of a romantic, but never do anything romantic! But this is not answering the question.
Ok. Best I can do.. lazy morning spent in bed making love, then off out for a pub dinner, then a stroll hand in hand round a park, enjoying the sun. Then lying entwined against an old oak tree, watching fluffy ducks swimming on a lake while feeding ice cream to each other and just enjoying getting to know each other, till the sun set, not bad for a second date.. Ok now I re-read that it doesn’t sound that typically romantic, but it’s the best I could come up with, as I say paradox.. person would be sian.
I cant believe that’s the best I could come up with, but I can’t even remember actually having a date with some, like Gill, Kate, Claire, hell the only girl I ever gave flowers too was a stranger that walked past be one sat night, I am pants..
4) What is your best feature? And what is your worst?
My best feature would by my brain/inteligence and I really should make more use of it, its a waste atm. Begging letters of Mensa, and what do i use my mind for? nothing apart from the odd game of suduko!
Worst feature would by shyness, and lack of confidence…
If you ment physical feature wise, err best=young looks, worst=being overweight
5) If a film was made of your life. Who would you cast to play you? And Why?
Easy!!
Alan Rickman for he is a God! and a good actor who could bring the right amount of comedy to the part, yet still pull it off with style.
