Poi is something I can not yet actually do. But am willing to learn. :-)
I got into working on the Homeless World Cup, through a friend of mine. We are both part of a leadership club which endorses volunteer work a lot. So I decided to jump on board. Germany has a team coming down.
There are 56 nations competing.

I've seen all three movies.
I believe Scotland won last time so they're the favourites for this year.
By the by, what's with the Vegemite, Marmite, Nutella thing? What is Marmite?

i don't like vegemite at the best of times. Marmitd just seems like a bad idea.
Help! I've tried searching but i couldn't find anything on double headed fire staffs. Meaning there are two wicks at each end? I'm getting one either tomorrow or day after. Any ideas?

"Marmite, Vegemite, or Nutella?
Nutella. What the hell is Marmite?"
OH MY LORD. I must ed-u-ma-cate you on such fine yeasty spreads as marmite.
Its is English in origin, but in my humble opinion the English Marmite has a very vegemite flavour, but runnier...(still good) where as good ole Kiwi Marmite (what I was RAISED on yo') is heaven in a jar.
Please feel free to check yummy yummy for more info!!

wow!! I'd never even heard of the homeless world cup; very cool. oh, and I've been here for over 2 years now and I still can't do poi. we have an understanding; I don't bother the poi, and they don't bother me.

The few times I have even attempted Poi they just veer midair and hit me solidly in my tender bits. Not fun...
I'd like to thank you all for the warm welcome, it is very much appreciated!

Hmmm pogo, so British = unpalatable?
I resemble that remark.
Lovo, you are more than welcome, please feel free to enjoy the amenities. There's a jelly wrestling arena not too far away, and of course there's the cake stall.

The only reason I haven't turned you into a pile of steaming Nutella for this blasphemy is because I'm currently crashed in your guest bed and your son presented me with a Holy Sacrifice of an Enormous Jar Of Nutella tonight.

I've managed to get a little bit of double staff going whilst on unicycle. Has that been tried much? And thank you for welcoming me too! :-)

Oh, BTW, the Spanish word for wolf is actually "lobo." However, Spanophone speakers do not differentiate between the pronunciation of "b" and "v." So your name is a creative misspelling, which makes it far better.

Double staff on a unicycle? We Mancunians have been doing that for years - only we split the task between Dave and Millhouse, just to be fair you understand
