Thank you HoP... Wish you were all here.

Well for the 3rd summer in a row Home of Poi has done it again.

I embrased a few HoPers invitations to come visit across the globe and yet again, my expectations were far exceeded by warm, welcoming, lovely people.

Thank you to all those whom I met this summer. And thanks to EVERYONE for contributing to such a welcoming community. I work hard for 10 months to be able to have 2 months to leave it all behind. Once again, HoP has made my summer beautiful and relaxing and even a bit educational.

I must say, I'm a bit traumatized leaving my British life behind. I'd kinda gotten used to it. But I'm thankful for the opportunity of having lived it for two short months.

Thank you to my friends who I hug in person.
Thank you to my friends who I hug online.
Thank you for making HoP such a warm family that can make me smile and feel loved in so many different ways.
Thank you to all whom make this site something I look forward to checking.
Thank you to all who I haven't met... and may never meet... for being a part of this community.

Thanks Malcom, I had a great summer.
[And you thought you were just running a website...]

... And a big warm hug to Molly.

your a champ NYC, thanks for playing

Josh

awwwww... don't ya just love it when NYC goes all pussy-cat like? sooooo damn adorable!

Hey... I'm adorable ALL the time. You just don't get to see me all that much.

Well here's your online hugs, NYC.
Now I'm in America, you'd better make them hugs in person sometime.

Sniffle thats so sweet

I think Edinburgh is closer to New York than Texas. If not in location than in spirit. Come visit me... and bring your girl, I'll make tea.

Ain't England great?

Works for the Irish too!

And the Cornish. Which is ironic, as Cornwall is only a part of England and hasn't been a seperate country for about a thousand years. Still, roll on devolution eh? Kernow bys vyken!

for my NYC

am feeling toasty warm now

Thank you for coming to Scotland, homie

(sniggers happily to herself)

thanks mike for that wonderful eulogy of my fair country. i hear you canadians are nice too.

to be honest NYC was a pest. he just spent all day in the office on the internet

"Beans," said Molly, "he's not a pest."

(why do I get the feeling that once again no one will ever have read that book....?)

*saunters off to get the queens dried frog pills*

(now there's a literary reference a few people might get :raspberry:)

: pout :

I do like a little bit of butter on my.... dried frog pills? I don't think so.

oo mr cat, moley molly learnt fishtails at Spitz! are you proud? can she have a lolly? (worm flavour for preference, or maybe she'd just eat the stick)

um,
mead.
there, all back on topic.

Indeed... Guilty of spending my free time on the internet in the office. Perchance if there wasn't such a beautiful Queen on the other end of the chat room I'd have actually got some more poiing done.

I'll never put the Queen above a hyperloop. Not even behind the back ones. Not even a 'Behind the back suicide tribble covered in Nutella'.

Luckily I did learn some 'hugs' while my Molly was at work. And have been praticing them a bit. Thanks to le chat bleu.

I don't think Queens on other ends of chat rooms was what kept you from poiing with your homies.

You're just slack. Must have picked it up from the Pooks.
Oh, and you eat too many chocolate biscuits. From different packets. All at once.

*interesting fact - did you know that chocolate biscuits were made from breadcrumbs and butterbeans? I'll show you how one day...*

aw, this thread makes me smile
sentimentality AND nutella, oh boy and I'll second all those hugs to all the HoPers I've met and whose hospitality I've enjoyed over the summer... in particular werner!, mcp, Mags and Benjamen hope to see you all again soon.

and while Edinburgh rocks, Bristol is full of lovely pebbles
