Junior Olympics

[munkyofdth]

Many of you don't know me, but I fence, and today I won the qualifiers for the junior olympics. So in febuary, I get to go and fence in probably the hardest competition of the year for under-20. Does anyone else here fence?

 

[vonnagy]

nope, but we could use a fencer here to keep the neighbours bloody sheep off our lawn.

just kidding congrats matey all the best to you in your competition, I am sure you will do well

I came home the other day and I saw some guy stealing our gate.......I didn't say anything because I thought he would take offence.

Good luck in your endeavors!
