    Thought this was a non sequitur moment/misplaced comment but then I realised you are talking in relation to the Strictly Ballroom comments. Carry on.

    Ps. It’s a good movie I’d watch again, it’s been a very long time since I last watched it.

    I luuuuuve new software and figuring out how to use it, I have updated from Microsoft Office 2007 to Office 365 and have begun transferring the files on my now defunct forum and website to my facebook page. I love 365, its so easy and elegant - converting my html files to pdf once I figured out how to, is a doodle.
    I have enough material to keep me busy for quite a while ... :D

    I actually think this is a perfect opportunity for non unicyclists to learn to ride right now. And current riders can increase their skill levels.

    There's no aerial tissue classes, no gyms, all volleyball, soccer, athletics etc sports are currently cancelled....

    Before anybody says it's dangerous, it's actually a fairly low danger activity, start with a 20 inch unicycle from gumtree and practice with a railing for as long as you need to. :)

    Ok, learn to ride a normal bike! It's a basic skill I think everybody should learn, just like swimming.

    Btw. My newest regular bike skill I only just picked up in the last week was riding no handed for up to a kilometre. Such freedom. :)

    There's a very small chance of me injuring myself on any sort of unicycle :)

    I've seen snowboarders go 'off the rails' but never thought about doing it with a unicycle :eek:

    Some people ride their unicycles on rails... I'm not one of them.

    Growing a beard for the first time ever. Two weeks in and not too shabby. Also cut my own hair but didn't do the back so now it's a bit of a mullet. I'm going to come out of this unrecognizable.

    We might see the resurgence of the mullet if enough people cut only the bits they can see and reach easily. I can't wait... :D:p

    Is growing a beard a hobby?

    I'd have to mull it over.
