I just realised ive been on these boards since early 2002 and have never done and intro thread, so for all those that want to bore themselves for a moment, heres a little bit about me:



Name: Mark Strugnell (hense strugz)

DOB: 1979

Favorite Toys: Double staffs, single staff and my aerotech meteors

Been spinning: 4 years or so

Music: Anything and everything except tunes that Ben-ja-men likes, at the moment hard tech trace / bit of floyd, metallica......and the list goes on.



Hobbies: Spinning, playing guitar, making new toys, making vids, drinking, hammock lounging, xboxing, eating, sleeping and i like keeping my fingers green peace







Soton - Firespinning:

This all came about by accident really and we never thought it would get to where its at, my cousin (Greenmilk) is a wiz on pc's and years ago he said he wanted to build a site, but didnt have a good subject, at the time i was just getting into spinning i said what about doing summit based round that.



2 years later we'd built up this little community in soton of a few die hard spinners and they all started using the site for meet organising - slowly started meeting up with many spinners in the hampshire area all who wanted to get regular meets going, things really have taken off from there..........



I never thought the site would get used as much as it has and want to thank everyone for thier support over years - considering it started as a "little hobby" its now turning into a great tool for eveyone to use.



We now see ourselves as part of the "active" online community alongside PIP Spherculism (hope things get back on track soon Matt) and HOP and are very happy to be where we are, all because of you lot - Thanks biggrin



So anyway i think thats enough about me for one day, if you want to know anything else, please come in sit in the hammock ( theres 3 in the corner over there ) **points**



I'll stick kettle on and will make you all some tea ubbrollsmile



Oh and sorry Pink, id did until i saw this and its put me right off wink

naked hula hooping .... im crap at it as it is so ill give tha magnatism thing a try!

Been in there since i was 19.

Basically the doc said i grew crooked........... but may have dislodged a disc at an earlier age: i was quite extreme when i was yougner - on roller boots bmxs and other silly things, didnt mind chucking myself about so hence it could have beeen anything that started it.

Anyhow from the age of 16-18 i was slowly loosing the use of my left leg - had a real bad limp for ages and the pain got worse...blah blah

the op took 13hrs

i was in hospital for about 2months then in a full body cast (with legs locked straight) for about 3 months..............

tiz amazing how you take mobility for granted till you havnt got it cool

I could have lost use of legs totally but luckily Docs are pretty good these days - so i really dont mind paying NHS as it would have cost around 35k to go private.

Physio said i needed non strenuous continous excersise about 5 years ago as my movement down there was minimal................

then i found firespinning biggrin

now i can matrix cool

whats your excuse wink




that like you i loved to throw myself around, come on you have seen my wrists, and ancles, and the rest of my body is just as [censored], my back wont streach like my shoulder joints wont, properly for scar tissue.....

i just never went to the docs, i dont like hospitales,

and yes my worst fear is waking up one morning and not being abl eto move, i love that fact that i can move still i should have lost the use of my legs and tourse long agao with th eamount of stupid stuff i have done

rolleyes

but alas young vixen i was lost and scared of the dark........

erm.....

biggrin

Anyhow on top of that i have some real bad news.

I got up saturday morning walked down in to my garden and looked over at an empty space in the corner................ i then looked again and tried to picture what should have been in that now empty space.....

MY CUBE!!

Some B********DS broke into my garden and stole the 5ft square cube right from under my nose!

It wouldnt fit in a car or through a front door so someone legged it up the road with it sometime in the wee hours of friday morning frown

The stole my £150 cube, gutted i am.

They had a 2 wheelbarrows to choose from as well, but left them frown i really cant believe it.........

For some reason though it does make me laugh as i just picture the thief legging up the road trying not to look too inconspicuous with a giant cube on his/her shoulders ubblol

But - that means no cube at Play 2 frown

just when it was getting good.

It MUST be in the local area.
It is going to be pissed people isnt it?

I suggest ringing the police and reporting your inconspicuous cube as stolen.

Was it insured? umm

have a hug and a ping! anyway. kiss
