Delicious, mixed with some bleach and shoe polish and sprinkled with weedkiller 
Actually that's for soothing my muscles after running session. I am following something called the couch-to-5k programme. I've moved on to week three and can now run for about 10 minutes in a session, with breaks. Its actually taken me about four months to get that far... at least I am trying!

He clearly posted it for comments, so yes.
It's not joined up, it's curly an curved rather than sharp an straight.
I didn't mean it as a bad thing... Doctors for example have terrribel terrible writing!!!

I can do a 100m front crawl in about 1 minute 9 seconds (swimming), although I've been doing mostly long distance stuff at the moment, so I'm going to says its just daft.
Also my hand writing sucks

Weep, Mother.
You're amazing . I was just poking at the 'running for 10 mins' thingie.
I too can commit on my poor penmanship.

"Joined up"-edness is a crappy metric for good handwriting. "Good handwriting" is handwriting other people can easily read.

I physically write notes all the time. Your writing is very similar to Spry's.

I'd like to see yours. Just drop the unnecessary U's.
Heh. after some search I managed to find an example of my own handwriting, measurement table from first year in uni. maybe not the best possible piece of paper to judge my handwriting, but atleast you'll see what its like.
In my defence I must say that this is the sort of handwriting I do when I'm taking notes for myself and don't really care if anyone else can read it

Red Star Over China by Edgar Snow is a good book on the early days of the Chinese Communist Party, written by an American journalist living with them during their time as a geurilla force fighting the Japanese. Since he got a lot of his information from Mao himself, it is not all 100% accurate, but it is great for understanding how the West viewed the Chinese Communists and how they viewed themselves at this time.
Most of my other information on this area comes from biographical books of which I have read ones on Yuan Shikai, Sun Yat-sen, the Soong family and Lin Biao. The Soong biography, titled The Soong Dynasty by Sterling Seagrave, was particularly informative on what the politics of (pre-Taiwan) Republic of China was like.

Hail Divine Emperor!
I would also recommend the early parts of Mao: A Biography as well as The Last Empress: Madame Chiang Kai-shek and the Birth of Modern China. The Good Earth is a good novel about the time as well.
I must admit I haven't studied that time of Chinese history as well as I should have

Another interesting book I just remembered is Germany and Republican China by William Kirby. It focuses on the Sino-German cooperation between 1928 and 1938, but gives a pretty good look at relations between the West and the RoC in general at this time. Similarly, the book Setting the East Ablaze by Peter Hopkirk has some good information in parts about early Soviet-Republican Chinese relations though the book is not exclusively about China and focuses much more on Central Asia.
I just realized I wrote "gorilla force" instead of "guerrilla force" in my earlier post. How embarrassing.

Y'all got neat handwriting. And I decree that every word in Finnish sounds awesome and would make a good name for an alien planet. Hail Tulokset, Emperor of Laitteiston!
Hey my mum has done a 5k charity race and my brother ran the London marathon this year. So yeah I've got some catching up to do!
I am skinny and tallish. I'm one of those people who can eat anything and not put on weight (tho on the down side I get skin problems). I'm working out to cover those protuding bones with muscle if I can't do it with fat.
