It has just occurred to me that I talk about my unicycles a lot here, but I've not actually introduced them to you. How rude of me!

  Juggling Juggling: Spiky Mattress Of Death - 1st go

Well, apologies for this being over 4 months late... but I've been a bit busy!

Anyway, despite what some of you think, I did actually get on the Spiky Mattress Of Death. And, here's some photos and thoughts on my first experience.

  Juggling Juggling: You're avin a giraffe!

If you lived in a small village in Africa, and boasted to your mates that you had free-mounted a giraffe, the chances are that they probably wouldn't be your mates any more, or, more likely, you wouldn't be living in that village any more either.

But if you happen to be in the juggling community, where a giraffe is recognised as a tall chain driven unicycle, then that fact gives you a fair amount of respect.

  Juggling Juggling: Building The Spiky Mattress Of Death

2 weeks ago I decided to build myself a bed of nails. At the time I knew very little about how they are actually made or work. After a fair bit of research on the internet, I felt that I knew enough to tackle making one myself. Now that I've made it, I'd like to share my experiences with others.

Disclaimer I am not any kind of authority on bed of nail building. What I have made is an article of furniture for my own personal use. If you are foolish enough to copy me and you hurt yourself, then it is your own fault. I take no responsibility for any of you nutters out there on the internet

  Juggling Juggling: Poi In The Park - May 2004

On a beautifully hot Saturday afternoon in May, what could possibly be better than chilling out in a park in Loughborough, relaxing in the sunshine, soaking up the atmosphere and chatting with mates?

Answer: Waiting for it to get dark, and chucking some fire clubs around on top of a Rola Bola, of course!

Requium For A Dream Darren Arnofskys follow up to Pi is even more gripping then his first masterpiece. I first watched this film 2 years ago, and had fond memories of it being an excellently shot visual and audio fest with a nice plot twist, and a happy outcome. Well, watching it for a second time, I realise that I must have been so pleased with it the first time that I failed to notice how tragic the outcome was. I don't want to give too much away here, but this film gives some great insight in to addictions, whether they are drugs, coffee, TV, diets or women. A thoroughly delightful film despite the very dark aspects, and the lack of a Heppy Ever After ending.
