Hi to all you twirlers and HoP lovers!
I'm Malcolm's latest addition to the HoP family with my first day of work here at HoP today (Mon 16th Oct 06) and I see lots of fun ahead (as well as a huge learning curve)! I am totally new to poi so I hope I don't make too many dumb comments!
A bit about me then:
George McNeur, male, age... "enough"!
Family: wife Heather, 3 boys 12, 13, & 15.
Location - Christchurch, NZ.
working career: Electronics Engineering - 15yrs RNZAF, 6 yrs in Test/Manufacturing and 6.5 yrs network products R&D.
You can find out a teensy bit more about me/what I've done at these sites:

and my current main interest outside of work and family: https://aotearoakendo.150m.com/

I have several large jars of the stuff. I actually like it... a little. And don't tell anyone I admitted to it.

I was told people at cadbury's never eat anything that's made there as they know what actually goes on int he factory.
They lied. My friend did work experience there and it's fine. And all the staff eat until they feel sick!

If your non-existant is being revoked does that mean that you are going to be member? Growing old is mandatory; growing up is NOT.

Thankyou for your ongoing interest in our community.
Something like that?

Yes. Do it. Do it.
The little devil that sits on your shoulder agrees with me. And the angel on the other shoulder isn't disagreeing (he's stuck in traffic).

there's always voices Tom - sometimes there's even physical people to go with them!

some dad jokes for you:
"Driving my nephew home, I know the spot where there's a road sign saying "Dip", so just before we get there I ask him "have you got your Jatz ready? Look at the dip ahead.""
"Whenever I come home from work and sit at an empty plate, I flip my tie onto it and say "I don't know about you, but I'm having Thai tonight.""

Hey George, thanks for the link to your story, it made a really interesting read.
I particularly liked the bit about the adventure training, as that's kind of what I'm into now.
The bit about falling down the scree slope? You have no idea how many times that scenario played out in my mind whilst climbing Mt. Yamnuska on sunday. There were a few times when we had to cross a few feet of scree high up near the peak, where it's incredibly steep. I knew that one slip would result in a pretty speedy descent down a 45 degree slope, finishing with a drop off a huge cliff.
Reading that part of your story made me laugh and think about my fears on sunday.
Lets steal a spaceship and head for the sun, and shoot the stars with a lemonade ray gun.
