Well, this is my 2000th HoP post, so thought I'd might as well do an intro thread
Now, let's see:
Name: Paul
Age: 25 (at the moment)
From: Bookham, near Guildford
Toys: Poi, Staff & Contact Juggling (mostly)
Pink preference
: I like it
Significant Others: Mrs Durbs
Well, I spin with all the other Guildford lot, also am part of Burnt Toast (www.burnttoast.co.uk), can occasionally be seen at Spitz too...
Beer anyone?

Durbs, you've never had an intro before?
I'm shocked. Well call this an official welcome then.

Noooooooooooooooo
After 2 weeks I get all my toys back
Happily playing with my lovely, beautiful 100mm acrylic which I'd missed so dearly. Drop it (this is on grass) and it lands on a frickin' stone - the only one in the whole damn field! Biiiig scratch on my used-to-be-perfect ball

Well, Renegade make special acrylic polish - but I think it's overpriced.
The best stuff is Novus plastic (acrylic) polish. Comes in numbers 1, 2 & 3 - for increasing size of marks.
I've just ordered some #1 & #2 - then it's just a case of sitting down and polishing About 45 mins a ball I hear There's an article on contactjuggling.org I think
