Hello!
well i shall start at the beginning, I got my first poi about a year ago, having never been one to exercise the mantra - practise makes perfect, i didn't... for the best part of that year. However then it got sunny again and I got the degree work out of the way, so the poi have returned into my life.
Then... About three weeks ago I met Mags & Brad in sunny sunny Falmouth (it's Rhiannon if you remember..) and the glaring inadequacies in my own poi spinning were highlighted....
Hence a new found determination to practise. - I was also lurking at Maenporth and took shiteloads of photos which I will duly post somewhere for those interested when I figure this forum out...
Alas I am no longer in Falmouth having just graduated, and am currently sponging off my parents for a couple of months in Cardiff (any other poi spinners here?!?!)
So that's the story of my journey to the forum, pleasure to find you all, I promise not to post too much random shite (which I can be prone to doing...)

What is? You are supposed to keep your gender to yourself?
I'd say that would be a little hard for Non as she is quite obviously a woman....... and a damn pretty gorgeous one at that!

Manfar!! 'lo, dude! welcome to the Home of Poipoises! Yes indeedy manfar was involved in the fabulousness of cake, and also the eating of the fabulousness of cake... In fact i ate approximately half and she did.... i don't think we did give any to anyone else did we? mwehehehe *burp*
yes Sparkey i am a girl... i don't think i deliberately kept that to myself, yet i am intrigued to know what suddenly triggered your understanding of that...
oh yes.... and crappy crappy arse buttocks. I'm working easter weekend Friday and Saturday
so that is all just pants and you're going to go to Falmouth and spin fire and eat cake and... dress up in miniskirts and heels (apparently) without me.... 
Rubbish!!

oh yes ok, kidnap sounds like a good plan, there's no excuse for being kidnapped....
or alien abductions... no-one can argue with alien abductions.... will anyone volunteer to join the dark forces of the galaxy and arrange for my mysterious abduction to take place, (perhaps during lunchbreak, by the castle, then everyone can see and it's quite scenic...) and then to experiment on... me... in Falmouth obviously, because that's the alien HQ... and drop me back Monday in an equally spectacular fashion??
i couldn't phone i sick, that would be too simple.... and if i did they could probably sack me... which would not be a great loss, but it would be quite annoying....

Glad to be on the team, especially if there are cookies involved.
Right so we shall demand cookies... say... 100,000? (dont want to get too many so they go off!)
What else do they have of value?
Do they have chocolate?

*cough* I don't wish to rain on your parade but isn't there a problem with asking for food stuffs in a ransom? Won't they have the oppotunity to drug or poison the food? Also all the cookie crumbs stuck around Nons face will give her away when we return her on Monday.
I personally think a far better plan is for Non to spike everyone at works tea with some kind of debilitating virus that will cause all her co-workers and the boss to be too ill to come into work for say..... about ..... um...... 120 hours. That way she can offer to hold the fort and keep the shop going single handedly. All we need to do is get the phone calls from her shop diverted to her mobile phone and have a cardboard cut out of Non smiling in the shop window......with maybe a few cut outs of customers sprinkled around the shop. This will 1) let her come to Falmouth with no one at work knowing and 2) make her boss think she is a star and thus give her a pay rise
Ooooo and stamanfar I never meant to scare you hun. Hop just has some way of making you return time and time again. I see it has worked on you already because you came back! Maybe Malcolm has the power of Voodoo, who do? you do! remind me of the babe! ...... oops Jim Hensons possessed my body. I've told him to stop doing that! Sheesh!

Hi NOn!
it was lovely meeting you last weekend!
BTW - I love your purple jeans - and not just 'cause they are purple (which is admittedly quite nice in itself) - you look rather enticing in them as well...
