    Oh i would like to add, that some businesses, like Apple, plays bullying game as well as tax evasion , to get the massive tax cuts and benefits. And provide (if no Apple care purchase) warranty that covers nothing. Yet, we all are fine with this.

    We also do public events and have proper live action gladiator fights (no choreographed fights we fight live.... oh the broken knuckles from the missed sword swings)

    Me playing hoplomachus style gladiator:
    [​IMG]

    Me playing crupellarius style fighting against a hoplomachus, all that iron is tough to fight in but you just dont feel any of the blows at all
    [​IMG]

    And vs a murmillo style
    [​IMG]

    I also portray 1st century Britons (wrongly called Celts)
    [​IMG]

    And just to add to all that as if I don't seem crazy enough, I have a pair of spring loaded stilts too:

    Playing CHAOS in the saturnalia parade (roman christmas)
    [​IMG]

    And a parade in Liverpool for the Brazilica festival, some friends in a samba band asked me to come along and bounce around for them:
    [​IMG]


    Before you ask, yes, I am completely insane.

    Also no pics of me actually teaching as photography around school children is a bit iffy at the best of times.

    Upwards of six feet. More than enough to clear cars, do backflips and such. Go to YouTube and search powerbocking. Or welsh bockers, they're a group I've worked with before.

    You could also have qualified as a pupil at school:

    The school, etc., used to have to be registered within the scheme but I'm not sure that applies any more

    As far as I'm aware, the MSDNAA is only for students doing Computing or specific Engineering degrees so only the schools/faculty's within University's that do those will be eligible.

    When I got access to MSDNAA, I had to talk to the IT Technicians within my school to 'part-register' me on it, I then had to finish the rest of the registration myself and got access to it all.

    If you're wanting MS software other than OSs & Office, could always have a look at Dreamspark too.

    I didn't make my meaning clear, obviously. I wasn't referring to the MSDNAA programme. I was referring to the partner programme, including Microsoft and Adobe, run in the UK whereby discounted software is available to to primary, secondary, third level students (uni/college), teachers, parents and guardians on a one product/one licence basis.

    Ooops, my mistake! Completely mis-read it initially and completely forgot that as long as the insititution is registered and the individual is either student/parent/teacher then its fine :)

    Roflmao. Glad you like it. Quick update on my build. CPU and cooler (arctic i30 the one bit tech reviewed) are being bought next Thursday. Windows 7 home premium the week after and I'm goin to go for the 560ti but the bigger version, 1.2GB, according to reviews here you can clock the "bigger" version of the 560 to be faster than the 570. And as the 1.2GB version is only £20 more than the 1GB but almost 100 less than the actual 570. Seems silly not to.
