One thing that may surprise you is that I was a bit of a breakdancer in my youth. Yeah, I could really bust some moves! That snake move where you lie on the ground in a press-up position and flick yourself backwards was one of my specialities, and my body had more pop than Tescos. Don’t believe me? OK, here’s the evidence…
OK, I had a bigger afro then and my skin tone was decidedly darker on the rest of my body than it was on my face, but I was quite the mover, yeah?
Well, no, of course not. If I had attempted breakdancing it would certainly have been more break than dance. Vases, TV sets, legs, arms, the works. The above is of course a work of Internet trickery, courtesy of clothing brand Russell Athletic, who are reintroducing their range of sports wear into UK stores. The range includes T-Shirts, Hoodies, Shorts and more, so why not pop over to the Russell Athletic site to take a look, and make your own 80’s-ized movie featuring yourself or friends at the same time.

When we were kids he would never even leave his seat at parties let alone dance. He would sit in the corner making animals from cocktail sausages and cocktail sticks and any other left over food he could find. He was always very creative.

Aye, ’tis true. I was not really one for doing the boogie.
Making (quite literally) sausage dogs out of chipolatas and bent cocktail sticks was much more fun!
