im scared of heights  so my 1st two flights  were for parachute jumps    knelt there on the floor of a cessan -no door just an open space- as we banked at 50 feet. Got to 2000 or somat un i shuffled to the hole , heled on to wing strut---then jumped. Perfect. Only prob   just 1 person left to jump --a m8 - pilot will not go up with less then two - so OK Illgo upagain. I should point out we jumping on farm land. in january. B4 we jumped 1 pertson did a perfect jump, ran round to colapse his 'shute, tripped on a frozen furrow ----andbroke his ankle.

I got off OK  but on my 2nd jump ---the snow was going up -as i went down  ::)

-making dangerous stuff like super powerfull Pneumatic cannons and pulsejets (gonna mount a pulsejet onto my bike! muhahahahaa)

Whats wrong with combustion cannons, now they are fun, dangerous but fun.
On my first ever homemade crappy bogde job one i managed to singe my hair, eyebrows and eyelashes and also scare the crap out of myself.

i tried making a combustion cannon, but the peices were too expensive to order in, however my Dad is a kitchen fitter so he puts in screwfix plumbing orders a lot, so i get things like ball valves, preasure thingamabobs and copper fittings then make it into some sort of 5Bar+ cat destroying device! (dont worry i wouldnt shoot a cat with it!  :o )

Hmm, bocking is obviously a favourite! I like to play heavy metal on my guitar (it's loud and simple ok?).  I'm learning a bit of poi (fire is goooood!), I do acrobalance with my girlfriend Abby, and I like to go Airsofting!

And somewhere in between all that and work, I sleep!

Now if you want fun when I was a wee lad of about 12 my Nan bought me back one of those large match holder cannons from Spain it was about 10" long
Being me I drilled it out so it would work crusher some old fasioned match heads up and loaded it with cotton and a 3/4" steel ball bearing

On lighting it I instantly went deaf (lasted for 2 days) my main mistake though was doing it indoors in my bedroom I looked up to see a small hole in my bedroom door

Problem was my parents door was on the other side of the hall the small holes wer'nt to bad but the 4" round exit wounds on the back of the doors were noticable  ;D and Dad wasn't impressed that he could see the sky throught the sloping ceiling in their room  ;D
I can't remember what the punishment was but I didn't see that cannon again until I was 21  ;D

so many memorys when it used to be on channel 2 straight after the simpsons!! and malcom in the middle!!

Now this is the story all about how
My life got flipped, turned upside down
And Id like to take a minute just sit right there
Ill tell you how I became the prince of a town called bel-air

In west philadelfia born and raised
On the playground where I spent most of my days
Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool
And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys said were up in no good
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
And said youre moving with your aunte and uncle in bel-air

(only the first three episodes of season one)

I begged and pleaded with her the other day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kissin and she gave me my ticket
I put my walkman on and said I might aswell kick it

First class, yo this is bad,
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of bel-air livin like,
Hmm this might be alright!

I whistled for a cab and when it came near the
Licensplate said fresh and had a dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought now forget it, yo home to bel-air

I pulled up to a house about seven or eight
And I yelled to the cabby yo, home smell you later
Looked at my kingdom I was finally there
To settle my throne as the prince of bel-air
