Holy gamoly a new board! ;-)

wooh, it's all new and sparkly and just waiting for all us lovely staff kids to make it our own! *bounce*

hehehe. I think somebody should donate a bottle of champagne for us to spray everywhere.

I have no staff moves to add at the moment, dammit ;-) Although I did re-learn how to do a backward walkover today. Not with a staff, that would be too hard right now. My plan is to keep working on acrobatic stuff and have backflips and hopefully maybe back somersaults down by the end of summer....gotta get those old bones of mine working again :-) Would it be a bad thing for me to buy a trampoline with my tax refund money? hmmmmm. Will I ever grow up?

Dont bother kid. Growing up is for wimps. I plan not to bother for a few years yet.

I couldn't find any champagne, but here's a bottle of NZ's finest White Cloud...

(White Cloud is regularly on special for about $6.00 nz)

We just have to drink it out of plastic cups or staright from the bottle, coz the glasses cost more than the wine...

Hey Xaeda, once I'm tipsy enough to not hurt myself, could you show me how to do safe cartwheels, I'm about as flexible as an orthodontic retainer, but sure I could learn them right...

ok uhm... i'm American.. and confused. seriously. huh???

Tlight is 14. They have a different approach to humour at that age.

Tlight is also from London. I think they put something in the water.

Basically the joke is based on a linguistic difference around the fact that many people in america pronounce tomato differently to how we in Britian pronounce it. There's a line in a song that rhymes our pronounciation of tomato with potarto. Presumably because the songwriter lived next to a shop that sold cheap gin.

Another good example of a linguistic difference would be:
you say George W Bush - president
We'd say George W Bush - care in the community.

You say tomato
I say tamato
I say potato
You say potarto
tomato - tomato
potato - potato
Let's call the whole thing off....
