that has just got to be an STW forum member surely..?

applauded for effort, but at the same time some coffee came out my nose.

Why ? because he is poncing about in body armour?

There was a documentary on about him and other superheroes on c4 a couple of weeks back

HA HA HA HA HA……Oh God thats good

I haven’t seen a twunt knocking around in ninja stuff (teens) since the craze in the mid 80’s.

Excellent start to the day 😆 😆

it’s not funny to laugh at the mentally ill

I wonder what he will do with his ‘foam sword’?!? 😆

Why does he carry an invisible football in front of him everywhere he goes ?

Priceless! “I gave them a growl, and said, ‘Move on'”.

I live in Yeovil, the local paper did a piece on him last week – proper “ka-pow” style graphics, etc – made me laugh/cringe in equal measure!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR……. move along 😆

For a moment I thought I was watching Brass Eye

After re-watching the C4 documentary I still can’t decide whether it’s an awesomely subtle spoof, or a touching portrayal of genuinely struggling people. Either way it’s worth watching, if only for when the dark spartan interviews a potential side kick.

The documentary is certainly worth a watch, some proper laugh-out-loud moments 😀

southwest really does have some funny types.

good on the fella though.

I read the thread title as ‘Nina in Yeovil’, and thought it was a ‘Readers’ Wives’ type thing. Got a bit excited. 😳

A lad I knew used to dress up and pretend to be a ninja. He used to prowl the local cemetary and scare folk. Until he fell out of a tree and injured himself quite badly. 😐

good on the fella though

Yeah, it’s a bit cranky, but he’s on about intervening if someone’s being threatened or attacked, which is a good thing in my book. Too many folk just walk on by.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

of course there is part of me that say’s “twonk” but in other ways it’s admirable that there is someone who is willing to stand up and protect his community rather than sit blogging about rising crime or whatever.

Unfortunately he’s made himself a bit of a target, and while Yeovil isn’t exactly the inner city there’s always that chance that the kids take umbridge to a ninja telling them to jog an and give him a right good pasting, foam stick or not.

Oh, and if he was truly a ninja, we wouldn’t see him 😀

watched the channel 4 doc and i’m not sure that any them are all there actually.

I saw a piece about him in our regional paper, then a bit on the regional BBC news, and I must admit I thought ‘twonk’; well, not that exact word, TBH, but close. I did feel somewhat embarrassed for him. The ‘invisible ball’ thing is exactly that, I did T’ai Chi for a while, and it’s a power focus thing, a way to focus your chi, but it’s not something you actually walk around doing. T’ai chi is a martial art, just done very slowly to aid balance and focus. A kata in karate terms. When you get the focus right, you can actually ‘feel’ like a spongy, fuzzy ball between your hands. It’s really weird when it happens, but you only do it as meditation and preparation. Walking around like that you just look a prat.

So in 6 years, he’s stopped some kids shooting swans! Awesome ninja skills! My missus asked why he was holding an invisible football with him the whole time though!

the last thing they hear will be the first noise he makes…..
