    Capital letters are for people who need to overcompensate for something.

    There was a character off the television that was the complete opposite to me - so school mates somehow though it would be funny to call me after his last name!
    (I didn't get it myself at the time!)
    Since them, I've been using the name "Biggins" as an ironic pun. "Biggins" sounds harmless and evokes images of a bungling fool - sometimes an image I wish to reflect while I go about doing work more effectively and quietly.

    I robbed it off a dying homeless person I ran over years ago sure. With his dying breathe he asked me to carry on his persona and legacy.

    So I stripped him nude, put on his clothes, and became Sindri the magic homeless fairy.

    I also inherited his wandering testicle syndrome.

    Loosely translated from Japanese mine mean's winding, and is part of most of my throws in judo.

    When I throw someone I aim to follow the throw through to the ground with a winding/Makikomi movement as seen in this clip.



    To be thrown is very sore when 19st follow's you to the ground :)

    Actually we have Lisa Kearney (Irish Judo) fighting in Dusseldorf, Germany for qualifying points for the 2012 London Olympics today - she's almost qualified and has to tie up the few remaining qualifying results..

    Finger's crossed X

    This is Lisa in the blue judo suit.



    At 48kgs she's a little power house.

    Good luck with the Kempo btw.
