Hey there everyone,



Well, now that I'm close to post number 300 I thought I'd do an intro thread... it seems like I'll be hanging around for a while now biggrin



Edit:

Yep, this is all changed cos I'm not feeling as sentimental as I was when I wrote the last intro.



I'm 28, live outside Belfast in Northern Ireland, run the fire performance group FirePoise (www.firepoise.com), like to travel and good music.



My myspace page is www.myspace.com/clarepalmer



Take care

bye

molly - at my school rule number 1 was "don't shag your friends' boy/girlfriend".

shagging friends is the best way to get laid otherwise you're just screwing strangers, which would be rubbish after a while... wink

Hey all...



During the summer I lost all my good CDs on a trip to Edinburgh. However, thanks to the kindness of lots of Hoppers I got some brilliant ones in return. biggrin



I made a couple of compilations of the new music, copies of which were given away at Play.



Anyhows, I've made a few more copies of those compilations, so if you'd like one, please PM me your address (there will be a limited number I'm afraid, can't afford lots of postage).



They're albums filled with good music to dance to, with a few Hop-type tunes thrown in too (for anyone who's seen the Falmouth vids biggrin)

Probably by forming an un-healthy reliance on narcotics paired with a subscription to some cheap, badly translated dutch porn.

You probably won't notice any difference to be honest smile

Paul, is this just an effort to get in as much smut and flirting with clare before you go away?

It'll do nothing for your impending withdrawal...

Clare - PM on it's way biggrin

That hug is clearly a smutty one... And the mention of smut is certainly a trace if ever I saw one... wink

Welcome to my home Frodo.

Don't forget to put the top back on the toothpaste, and make sure you leave the seat down.

Hehehehe.

Yes indeed...

Tis about time for an update, I think biggrin

All is very well.

Lisa and I have moved into a most splendid place and we're loving it. More details on that later.

The business thing is ticking along... but I'm getting scared about paperwork and large bills.

I went to see Kid Koala and Four Tet recently. Kid Koala rocked... Four Tet was rather disappointing... but then, maybe I just expected the wrong thing.

I was hoping for chilled out-album greatness... but he was very progressive... quite scarily so. Maybe I just don't get that level of electronica, but I like music to dance too... and unfortunately the beat was quite disguised smile

Kid Koala still rocked though biggrin

Hmmm... what else...

I'm getting work done on the website, which should be up and running soon (I'll post here about it)...

And I'm getting a new flashy computer soon too smile with broadband and everything!!! So I'll finally be able to watch all these smart videos (maybe even put up one of my own - homework smile )

Anyways, hope you're well lady Skully...

Take care
Love and hugs
Clare xxxx
