This is a page about random things that happen to me and that dont really fit into any other page. Let the randomness begin!

The Mad Hat Gang - Luke, Ian and me

So named, possibly because of the mad hats, possibly because we were just mad. This is the story of a random journey over to a local supermarket (un-nameable for legal reasons). We had a pressing need to purchase certain orangey cakey things covered in chocloate, and chocolate yogurts. Then, just as the three of us were about to leave, we found three strange hats. A sombrero, a bowler hat and a sort of knitted thing with ears and tassels. I took the bowler, Ian took the sombrero, and Luke took the knitted one. We became the mad hat gang. We then undertook the perilous journey to the super market. On the way, we were subject to many strange looks, and, looking back on it, I can see why. Eventually, we reached the supermarket and found what we needed. At the checkout, we were served by a girl who, inadvetently, gave us our name, by saying: "oh, look, it's the mad hat gang!". So, thanks to her, we became a gang of people who's trademark was wearing strange hats. Therefore, this article is dedicated to that person, even though I do not know her name or even what she looks like.

The mad hat gang now has a band of devoted follower's! Check out the random hatness here!

Adverts for my sites

I've had a few sites over the years, including a blog, a proper site and this one. for some reason, I like making adverts for them. The first one (with the badger) was made by Ian. He also made the site! I was randomly browsing my picures and I found it, which inspired me to make another one for this site! I like mooses! (And badgers, but not as much as mooses!)

Fire spinning

Fire spinning is something that my brother does and, lately, my cousin Katy. On new years day, my family went to stay at Katy's house with her family. at about 10 o'clock (I think) we went outside to do some fire spinning. Together, Katy and Luke managed to do three different types:
 

Poi

this is basically two balls of Kevlar, soaked in paraffin and attached to two grips by more Kevlar, or metal chains. Then, you swing them around. Fast. It can be quite scary at times!

Diablo

I know what your thinking, you're not supposed to set fire to diablo's, but calm down, these are special ones that don't melt. They have the same wick as the poi.

Staff

This is a long pole with two wicks on that you can do cool tricks with. My brother is really good at this!

There are some piccies on (surprisingly) the piccies page here

 

How to conquer the world

Quite a while ago, for some unknown reason, I decided to start making a series of small book, mainly made of A4 lined paper. The first, and most successful, was entitled "how to conquer the world" (and, yes, I know I spelt the title wrong on the front cover). Here are the pages, conviniently aranged in order by me! Enjoy!
