Hello all!

A fine whatever day you read this it is to you 🙂 This is an update on what I have been up to recently and some food for thought and a challenging competition in a bid to convert more sherlockians!

A little under a week ago i attended the vagabond skills training seminar at Head Hacking Head quarters! Needless to say it was a very interesting day!

👆That happened!

A day ran by the awe inspiring Liam o Neil! We began with a gentle breathing exercise which, to the neighbours looked more like a Tai Chi class and maybe set the tone for a gentle day?….how wrong they were! What followed were demonstrations and teachings of how to own the strength of 20 men, smashing 11ft planks of wood across our bodies, smashing tiles, and even lining up to take kicks in the balls! This we were all psyched about doing and even more pumped that we could achieve success in the demo’s and look like superhumans.

Then came the chopstick demonstration in which we asked to smash a plastic one on our throats…our confidence waned! Try this yourself, take your fingers and push them into the base of your throat and try not to be sick, now imagine taking the pointy end of a chopstick, holding it in place with one hand and then smashing it home with the other. After a few fails and a few expletive name calling incidents we achieved success here too.

Needless to say for fans of this type of performance it was an amazing course to go on, and incredible value for money for some awesome life skills!

COMPETITION TIME!!!!

This is a photo containing a code! Lestrade at Scotland Yard knows someone is in danger, someone of great patriotic importance! But as yet does not know who, he has reason to believe this code will have the answer and he needs your help!

Holmes and Watson are away chasing a lead, a note was left by Holmes to encourage you to read his Adventure of the dancing men should you need assistance in cracking the code. Lestrade has given you two weeks to solve the case and weirdly promises a DVD of Jeremy Brett in action to winner, Who will be the first one back with the correct answer! Answers to enquiries@ben-Cardall.co.uk or on my Facebook page or tweet me!

See you next time for a look into the science of how walking pace/gait relates to sexual activity! Full write up of my findings soon. Do they really walk funny afterwards?

Take it easy folks!
