About Me


Jim Rules!! Jim's Page - WOO HOO! was previously living in the middle of b.f.nowhere japan (saiki, oita ken if you were wondering. see, told you so, b.f.nowhere) teaching english to elementary and junior high kids. having been there for three years (prison sentances are shorter) decided to return to good old blighty and continue my pre "enlightenment journey of dossing about for 3 years in japan" studies and become a lawyer. currently working at a law firm in worcester (if you're american or canadian, you may be an absolutely fantasticly nice chap/chapette, and hats off to you and all that, but please...don't even try to pronounce that last word...which one?...worcester....yes....that one.....). and once again, like the japanese, it seems i'm convincingly deceiving the other people at said law company in believing that i know what i'm doing. a veritable master of bullshit. i'm going to make a great lawyer........
also, as you may have realised by now, in my personal and humble opinion....rugby.....ROCKS! for the americans (canadians suprisingly understand the sport quite well....but i digress) out there, it's a bit like american football, except without the full plate armour, and you can't pass forwards. oh, and rugby players are, as a general rule, nowhere near the fitness level of football players (we drink a bit too much beer now and again....). in fact, most chess players have got a better physique than your average rugger boy. this, perhaps, should be noted when taking into account my "athletic" body type - i AM athletic....by rugby standards. therefore, although i am not a lard arse with a huge gut, the only six pack i have is in the fridge, waiting at home for me after a long day at work (shame it can't give me a blow job or i'd marry it). in fact, talking of beer and drinking, let us take a moment to think and reflect, and offer a prayer to beer, that elixier of life which has been helping ugly people have sex since 1862....
THE BEER PRAYER

Our beer,
Which art in barrels,
Hallowed be thy drink,
Thy will be drunk, (I will be drunk),
At home as I am in the pub.
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillages,
As we forgive those who spill against us,
And lead us not into incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers,
For thine is the beer,
The bitter, and the lager,
Forever and ever...
Barmen.
anyway, sidetracking there a bit. where were we? oh yes, rugby. you could even (if you really wanted to) take it a level further and say that rugby is one of the most politically correct games out there playable. doesn't matter what weight you are. doesn't matter what size you are. doesn't matter what race you are. doesn't matter what gender you are. doesn't matter what age you are. doesn't matter what religion you are. rugby.... the game for fat, ethnic minority, new age spiritual church believing 80 year old grannies!! gotta love it.
so, if you're a rugger fan like myself, or you like the sound of it, or are just plain bored, check out this rugby flash game . for the beer lovers out there (which, in essence, should be one and the same), you USED to be able to play a certain wonderful masterpiece of a game below... on MY page... however, some git (the guy who designed the game) sold out and gave it to some bloody flash game website (the pure injustice of it...). so, if you're desperate to play beer dude 2, then click here . personally, i wouldn't lower myself to that kind of capitalist sell out thing-a-me-bob unless i was really, REALLY bored at work... like now.

My Interests

rugby, rugby, rugby rugby rugby, and er... rugby. do a couple of martial arts. generally keep fit. enjoy life (usually through a slight excess of alcohol, but hey, nobody's perfect). chillin, relaxing. playing my guitar (and singing terribly to it). and other stuff...which i can't think of right now.

I'd like to meet:

the beer monkey....i've got a bone to pick with that little bugger.

Music:

don't mind that much, although i usually have a few rules:1: you have to be able to dance to it (and i'm not talking cheesy 80's dancing or the kind of dancing your uncle fred does at a wedding either). dance, trance, rnb, hiphop (but only the good stuff), drum'n'base, etc;2: you have to be able to nod your head to it... you know, music that makes you feel tough;3: you have to be able to work-out to it;or4: as long as it doesn't reeeeeaaaaally suck, then i suppose i can put up with it. (bit of a dodgy clause, this one. susseptable to letting the occasional rogue pop song in)

Heroes:

the water boy, micky "the munch" skinner, all of the 2003 england rugby world cup winning squad, all of the 2005 saiki amabe rugby squad, my ninja master, captain english, the beer dude, and anyone who can out drink me.
