Well, this is my 2000th HoP post, so thought I'd might as well do an intro thread
Now, let's see:
Name: Paul
Age: 25 (at the moment)
From: Bookham, near Guildford
Toys: Poi, Staff & Contact Juggling (mostly)
Pink preference
: I like it
Significant Others: Mrs Durbs
Well, I spin with all the other Guildford lot, also am part of Burnt Toast (www.burnttoast.co.uk), can occasionally be seen at Spitz too...
Beer anyone?

Hello
Hope you're having a good weekend.
It's sunny here. Marvellous.
I've had a very busy couple of days, but now it's done and I'm looking forward to Play...
Lots of love and hugs

Dude. You *have* to teach me some of that likwid/waving... So gutted I missed your workshop...
Anyway, yeah, How did you manage to sleep on your own that night? I half expected flocks of girls (and boys ) wanting your children after that... And to think you were pooping yourself...

Liquid twisty CJ rules! Some things you were doing I thought weren't possible for the human body to perform. I am now wrong... Thanks man!

*...the durbs groupie club grows and grows...*
i love you durbs.
but i already told you that.
more than once i think.
so we'll leave it there
twas a truly great performance on saturday man - facial expressions fit the routine perfectly (especially those really big smiles), the new moves kicked arse (hope your knee/foot is okay after the turbo fake trip-over/spin up thing), and the choice of music couldn't have been better.
definitely the highlight of the indoor section for me.
see ya tuesday i hope

Thanks for all the kind words people - er... KatB - who's your other half?
E_war - yes, you should've come to the workshops
Clare - Things went well, general anaesthetics are cool One minute you're awake, then the next minute you're awake aswell, without really knowing you weren't awake inbetween.
Although I might add a note that should anyone go for a GA, it's best not to ask the anaesthatist if the mask he's about to put on you is Nitrous and sound hopeful..
"How do you know about Nitrous?" *stops putting mask on*
"Ummm...pass"
"No really..."
"Well...It's probably bec..."
