In actuality that's the only time I've ever used it outside of the Dojo. Redirection of force is actually often a very simple and elegant execution. In the real world where it would get dicey is then the follow up. Once the person is past you they're going to come back at you and that's where years of training would come into play. At that point I'd been practicing about five years and could have dealt with more but since she went into the pool the issue was solved in a funny manner rather than escalating into something that may have appeared as a "fight"

The previous story (from your school days) comes across as almost too good to be true. If you saw a TV episode where the bully pushed someone and got effortlessly defeated by martial arts, you'd make fun of that scene for being absurd, but life really does work out better than TV sometimes.

Ouch. Good to know. Well hopefully you'll like my next story better, just have to figure out what it'll be.

I find it sad that, in a world with such an unequal distribution of wealth, that anyone would be prepared to destroy something valuable. I admit that there are a few phones I wouldn't mind seeing destroyed as they're so abominable there must be something in the Geneva convention about even giving them away (including examples from Sager and Alcatel) but a destroying a brand new smartphone just to prove a point seems tasteless. As I mentioned to you before, I used to keep a Psion Revo Plus with me at all times, and I was terrified of anything happening to it — this was in the days before widespread USB or microSD, so jumping into a pool without thinking would destroy a lot of valuable data (it took me long enough to even get backups to work, due to a weird design flaw in the Revo). People now are so spoilt and immature that they destroy expensive products over and over without thinking.

As an amateur historian, even destroying old equipment can be tragic, as you can be obliterating knowledge. There was an instance recently where a US bank had a whole batch of IBM 4704 keyboards shredded instead of letting anyone buy them (even after approached directly by a very dedicated woman who does her best to keep such products in the hands of people who cherish them), which was a horrific waste of one of the most amazing keyboards the world has ever seen (the immensely high grade Model F wrapped up in a 60% form factor), and one that's very rare (since it was never a consumer product). In this case, someone is actually getting replica 4704s made, which is no mean feat! Interestingly, the idiotic bank manager responsible dropped down dead not that long afterwards.

I'm not defending Andrew either — it's a rather sad story altogether.

Tart Restaurant

First let me say thanks to everyone who has responded to my posts or have taken the time to read my blog. When I first came on here I was warned that I'd get some inappropriate comments and be overwhelmed by trolls demanding things but so far, thanks to all of you, this has been nothing but a pleasant experience.

A guy I've talked to a couple of times mentioned a restaurant called Tart in Los Angeles. I'd been there several times so I decided to write another story for my blog about my first time there.

I hope everyone enjoys it and thanks for all your suggestions, and positive responses.

Linds
