Hey Snipey Baby! At last a familiar face!



Well well well... everyone wants to know about me and here's me being unable to answer without a specific answer to reply or space to tell my entire life story!



I'll just filter out what's relevant -



Started poi back in March after two years of believing that I wouldn't be able to do it (you know the thing - 'let me try!' *KLUNK* 'nope, can't do it'). Been told I'm good, depsite my technique being 'fling it in every single direction and hope for the best'. Now onto fire poi and staff (was it a mistake to buy a triple wick for my first? I think not!)



Went to the last Manchester poi meet the other month and will be going to the next on Saturday so see you all there!

I think we all know by now you're more than just curious...

Were you wearing shorts and some sort of cyber sleeveless number? If so i think I remember you...
I was wearing dungarees and an orange vest and at one point someone insisted I dress as a farmhand...

Thank you Maus, although I think I'm getting more praise for the artwork than the actual spinning photos. Dammit...

Hey Flasher, will do. She IS a cutie. I often wonder why I'm not a swiss army knife... My bumfluff says hi.

Jen, they're not the type of faces you'd be embarassed to look at when in flagrante delecto? And thanks although you have to teach me a bit more....

I REMEMBER YOU NOW GAZ!

Sorry I was thinking of the poi meet the month earlier! So your face didn't even come into the fold. It didn't even peg first time I looked at the photos yes I remember you vividly...



You managed to progress more in a day than I did in a month

erm, rufus wainwright and jeff buckley.

that's two things.

i'm guessing you might have watched the league of gents too and maybe like that.

but that would make three things which borders on creepy rathger than 'just a coincidence' wink

I'm your stalker Cole, I have no tastes of my own I just name yours as mine in the hope that you will notice me. It worked didn't it.

I went to see Rufus Wainwright live in Manchester last year was rather fab. His sister was someone to keep an eye on too.

'League of Gentlemen'...? is that a television programme?

yeah man - his sister is great.

her harmonies on 'in my arms' make me melt every time i hear it.



i have a beautiful song on video that they did together backstage at glasto - one of their dad's songs smile



rufus is playing london later this year but tickets are £30 and i simply can't afford it right now frown



as far as i know, league of gents began as a radio programme but has evolved into something that looks from most angles like a mild, thinly spread religion...

the christmas panto is coming up soon! bounce2
