What personality type are you?

I love these things even when there is no science in them, and its a pretty cool site all over

I was:
You have a strong personality that likes to take risks if the rewards are worth it. You don't like being told what to do and prefer to take matters into your own hands.

Preferring a more casual appearance, you are more comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt than in a suit. You don't like over dressing for any occasion, although you never look scruffy.

Variety is the spice of life! You are comfortable in any crowd or situation, and always come away with new friends.

In your mind, the image your friends have of you is very important. You like to have the latest brands and are prepared to invest a lot of your money in quality and expensive possessions.

You are very sociable! You are the center of attention and have great stories to tell. But this often prevents from establishing deep relationships.

You are very strong-willed, even bordering on stubborn. You like to take care of yourself before helping others, although you will never let people down.

Open university course on renewables

The Open university course on renewables is part of a new drive to make a more environmentally based course.

There are so many great resources out there that it's difficult to list them all

Hop Swing and a very high jump

Wow what a weekend. I have been at "Jumping at The Woodside" organised by our friends at www.jazzjiveswing.com. The standard of dancing was excellent to amazing, the venue was good the only problem being the heatwave made for some unbearably sweaty nights.

My thanks to Rob and Diane of www.yeahman.com for a truly fantastic insight and personal attention, they are probably some of the Best Lindy Hop teachers in the world.

New to me but apparently famous all over were Nathalie and Yuval. Their energetic style and death defying aerials literally took our breath away.

One of the biggest surprises of the weekend was the arrival of the crowd from Strictly Dance Fever the BBC's current reality dance show. Of course Paul and Natasha are Lindy weekend stalwarts. But almost all the contestants arrived and joined in a class with Frankie Manning. It was a pleasure to see how down-to-earth they all were and genuinely happy to dance with anyone.

Unfortunately Dan and Christi couldn't make it, but they have done much to promote both Lindy Hop and Charleston throughout the show.
