Nah, my kicking technique is fine.
I've trained taekwondo for three years.

It was just an unfortunate circumstance. :D

So, I'm participating in a debate at the Cambridge Union Society tomorrow, there's a student debate there each week as the warm-up act for the main debate. Unfortunately this time, the main debate is the biggest in a while (on religion) so it turns out I'm the warm-up act for Richard Dawkins and Rowan Williams. :P

(My debate's a UK politics one, motion "This house has lost faith in Ed Miliband")

I'd pay Williams to punch Dawkins in the face. Please convey this message to him, but don't disclose how much I'd pay (not a lot.)

I didn't get to speak to him, sadly. I also lost my debate, but ah well, it was an interesting experience.

Is that because the house had no faith to lose in the first place?

Actually, pretty much, yes.

Bad news.

Quote
The World Health Organization's ICD-10 lists schizoid personality disorder as Schizoid personality disorder.[33]

    It is characterized by at least four of the following criteria:

-        Neither desires nor enjoys relationships or human interaction, including being part of a family
-        Almost always chooses solitary activities
-        Has little, if any, interest in having sexual experiences with another person
-        Takes pleasure in few, if any, activities
-        Lacks close friends or confidants other than first-degree relatives
-        Appears indifferent to praise or criticism by others
-        Shows emotional coldness, detachment, or flattened affect

I strongly exhibit all these signs.
Except for the third one, which is somewhat unstable due to fact that I'm obsessed with gray eyed readheads.

Eh, I wouldn't put too much stock by that.
