Krav Maga 2.0

A few of my friends did Krav Maga for a bit, they talked about it like they knew what they were doing so one of my favourite games is to hit Hughes in the face when he isn’t paying attention and shouting where’s your Krav now! Hours of fun for the whole family. A couple…

Bollywood Fitness

Full disclosure: I cannot move my hips, shake my bum or generally look graceful when dancing. I headbang and wave my arms around like a loon so any time I need to follow steps which are quite feminine I feel a bit stupid and seize up so Bollywood dancing was never going to come as…

WiFi Wars

I heard about Wi-Fi wars as an interactive show where you use your phones in the audience to join in. I imagined it to be like the episode of Black Mirror where we get to vote on moral dilemmas and we’d have to decide someones fate so I thought i’d book a ticket. What I…

Game On, Broad St

Apparently the Waterstones board game night and keeping my title of undefeated champion of Castles of Burgundy the night before was not enough board games for me so Saturday found me walking to Game On on Broad Street. Game On, Broad Street is held at The Square opposite the Cineworld, the second Saturday of the…
