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?

~ I get a company car
~ I get to travel round the UK and hopefully go to a load of different spinning meets
~ I'm doing a job I actually want to be doing
Laaaaaaarge portions of niceness

Well - I don't know really...
In theory I'm providing nation-wide coverage as-and-when needed, so can't really say when I'll be where. It'll just be a case of "oh look, I'll be in Blah this evening - I wonder who spins there"
Ta muchly Skullers
UCOF - It was a nose-job, I wanted a 2nd one of the back of my head.

It's a Glow Stage Ball - one of those "charge up under a light and it glows in the dark" thingies £4 from juggling shops.
It's a bit light which is my excuse for some sloppy isolations - but I didn't want to risk an acrylic on the tiled floor as it would break the tiles.
