Hi to all you twirlers and HoP lovers!
I'm Malcolm's latest addition to the HoP family with my first day of work here at HoP today (Mon 16th Oct 06) and I see lots of fun ahead (as well as a huge learning curve)! I am totally new to poi so I hope I don't make too many dumb comments!
A bit about me then:
George McNeur, male, age... "enough"!
Family: wife Heather, 3 boys 12, 13, & 15.
Location - Christchurch, NZ.
working career: Electronics Engineering - 15yrs RNZAF, 6 yrs in Test/Manufacturing and 6.5 yrs network products R&D.
You can find out a teensy bit more about me/what I've done at these sites:

https://kiwionice.150m.com/
and my current main interest outside of work and family: https://aotearoakendo.150m.com/
So, looking forward to the journey, and meeting all you guys 'n girls.
cheers
George

I have several large jars of the stuff. I actually like it... a little. And don't tell anyone I admitted to it.

Errrrrr... no.
Remember you're talking to a brit, and not an American/ Aussie/ etc.
I did not plan to dress you up like an adjustable spanner.
And sort your stockings out. You're looking rediculous there.

a shifter is a large muscled bloke with a sack barrow, a butt groove and a truck to put furniture and boxes in...

Plus.... *dramatic drum roll* I'm going to get a Petey soon - so that's even better!! Woot woot, harooo-oo!

Will prove a turning point in my life and will determine if i'm cut out for IT stuff or not . ॐ
