Oi you! Bouncing head? Just being enthusiastic! (grumble grumble, bloody brits taking the mick, grumble)

I haven't ridden in years but grew up in Northern Alberta on a farm and we used to ride a lot. We'd use horses to round the cattle up etc (no, really we did). Just a farm girl, me :) Sounds like you would ride circles around me with no trouble at all - good lord, jousting?

I was only on Family Affairs very very briefly playing a friend of one of the regulars. I laugh at a joke, make some comments and order some wine. Not exactly a recurring role.

You're right, Ray Brady is a top guy, and his wife Deba as well. I worked with Ray on the film he made right before Team1 called Day of the Sirens, with Rik Mayall, and when I heard he was doing a martial arts film I marched down to the office and made him cast me! I've just got a small role, but yeah damn fun and the fight directors were so good to work with. I'd never done any stage combat training and I found it quite difficult to learn how to make it look real without actually hitting and hurting people. I saw a couple of the guys take some pretty good thumps and bumps during rehearsals, and I did (accidentally) knee a guy in the face during rehearsals. I still maintain that he lowered his head too much! :)

On a completely off topic note - My new flatmate just gave me a book called 'The Complete Idiot's Guide to Kickboxing'. I think I'm insulted
