Mmmm Shmellows and Nutella sandwich!
And you have your choice of popcorn, it's the seasoning that stays the same, it makes you see pretty colours

Haha! Definatly gonna have to give that one a go. Another one that I have tried that i think originated from the states is peanut butter and jelly/jam sandwiches. Loads of people look at me funny when I tell them, but its goooood!
Hehe, sounds good to me
So, are there many people from the UK here? Especially round the Staffordshire area? Wouldnt mind having someone to learn/practice with.
Oh, a quickie while i'm here. Is there a mobile friendly version of this site, or is this it?

TUNE!!
Sorry, just listening to some old mixes that i recorded a while ago. Trying to find some good music to spin to. Well, try to.
Well, i'm doing this on my mobile. I can read, reply, look at pics, but its quite limited.
Im pretty sure there are people on here from the UK, because the guy from the playpoi vids has mentioned the UK a few times. Those vids are actually really helpful.
Anywhoo... I wouldnt mind finding out if anyone would be close to me. Is there any kind of search i could do, or would i have to start a 'Calling all Brits' thread?
Oh, theres Nutella and orange marmalade (sp) on toast (chocolate orange), or Golden syrup on toast

ummm, well you could try typing in UK or something like that into the search bar, and see if there is one. or you could start your own thread. but try searching for one first.
