Re: The New Hobbies Thread
The Jo is my preferred length of staff, I find I can use moves from the Bo and Hanbo using it, I have an oak staff for practice and walnut for posh (God knows why), although I don't practice any of the martial arts I do regularly run some moves/routines taken from various disciplines as a form of m...

Re: Climate Change - Why don't we care?
I did one of the first University courses in Environmental Science back in 94.
One of my lecturers was an awesome, tenured Professor of Botany and Meteorology. He was Irish but his drinking was mostly the result of nobody listening to the obvious science........

Yes, some of the stories I have read are extremely disturbing. 4 year olds who have witnessed their parents death and been buried in rubble for hours/days type of stuff.

It's probably the most disappointing/depressing thing about this.

Most of us would - to not see this and just absolve war...

Re: Is Rugby Becoming Unwatchable?
Partly an age thing I think. [/b]I've fallen out of love with pro sports. It is too analytical, clinical and cynical these days. Also the availability of high quality replays doesn't help the refs who probably get more correct than ever before, which means more scrutiny on the mistakes they do make...

Covid has meant I am working from home all week, which has driven home two points. One, how dull and lonely it is compared to being in the office. Two, how utterly immobile I am working at home with nothing but a screen to stare at. At work, I get a lot of movement in, along the corridor to the sca...
