Actor (well almost)
Left Jim as "Frank" in the first ever amatuer stage performances of Gentlemen prefer Blondes. Performed in The Churchhill Theatre Edinburgh, in 1996, the stage was set for a trip back to the 1920's the costumes in the picture are supposed to be the offical GB 1920's Olympic team uniform (the closest I ever got to the Olympics
Jim)
Seen here is one half of Coles and Atkins and Craig Alexander (AKA Alexander the great magician) and ex Gymnast.
Craig and Jim performed a routine on stage which included pommel horse work on a very old drop nose high handle pommel horse, some tumbling and much muscle flashing. Jim also performed other smaller parts through the show.
