i'd just like to say thanks to a Mr Fryed Fish, for sharing his talent which most of us can relate to atleast part of it

We are the music makers, We are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams;
We are the movers and shakers of the world for ever, it seems.

Burning Brain : for comeing up with some interesting topics in the social debate secion

You can't avoid pain by fencing yourself from it.
Some times you need the help of others more than anything else
But you have to let them close enough to help......
People want to be needed, I found that out too

grasshoppah: for being a robot and never, ever pretending otherwise.

Love is the law.

There are so many people on HoP I'd like to compliment...... I fear I might miss people out but if I start and keep on adding as I remember (I'm old. I have a bad memory!)

I'd like to compliment Gidg on just being Gidg. A more fun filled, happy person you couldn't wish to meet. The number of times her posts have made me laugh I can't count. Thank you Gidg for just being here.

Pink...? needs complimenting for many reasons. She has a kind heart and a warm soul. She always makes you feel better just by talking to you.

UCoF is a loon but I love him to bits. He has made me laugh and cry on HoP. His honest heart felt cry for help was when I first really saw both sides of him. Since then I've chatted to him and consider him a friend.

Bird listens endlessly to me on MSN rant on and on when I've had a crappy day. Thank you for being there Sweetie!

ado-p, Vanize, Brodieman, Dubs, molly, Gayle, Non, Will .... and many more that join in the madness in my intro thread. Thank you all for adding to it. You ability to suspend all need for reality and join in the fun has entertained me on many an occassion.

Patrick the lil badger boy who always knows the right moment to send a bucket loads of hugs. Thank you too

Dunc for being the first to greet me and make me feel at home.

Gothfrogette for her bravery and her style! We'll make the best damn good fairy/bad fairy team. Just don't forget to bring the fairy dust!

Mags for organising the Falmouth meet before Christmas where I met a whole bunch of people that need compliments too....... oh god this could take a long time...... ok how about I just say that everyone there gave something to the meet and made it special

Gayle needs complimenting on her organisational skills and for just being a fantabulous person We are evil twins!

SDLW for her driving skills that saved us from a crash! Luckly I didn't see because I'm very short and was sitting behind a high head rests so I managed not to panic!

Non for being a great person to travel with.

Rossco Bossco is the best damn courier you could wish to meet

Mech needs complimenting on his great staff making skills and his good taste in ladies

Cantus for his artistic skills and sharing them with us in his gallery.

arsn for his ability to communitcate only in graemlins (he'll know what this means) and for his taste in ladies.... for like mech he has picked a partner with a heart of gold. x3 (one for arsn, one for valura, and one for belly bump)

Nate for not losing his cool when trapped in a car with 4 women

Oli for his skills with the poi and clothes

Strugs and all the soton people for providing a weath of videos to watch that have inspired me to practice more.

Mot for his site. I've found it very helpfull!

Frodo for his ability to shed clothes

Mand and Spitfire for oozing love and happiness all over HoP.

Rosie Mary for not freaking out when I threatened to turn her sons skin into leather and make cushion covers out of him.


OK well I think thats almost enough for now..... if you aren't on the list yet its not because I've forgotten the nice things you have done for HoP or me personally its more I think I better leave enough bandwidth for others to voice their compliments and thanks.

I have to make one HUGE thank you and compliment one person for his idea and hard work. Malcolm, thank you for creating HoP and for creating this community. Without which I wouldn't have got to know all the above people.

Thanks to *all* the manc meet people who have made an old out of towner laugh like a loon at some of your antics - Milhouse for scally put-downs the first time I met him, and Tobi's Pogo Stick - not the falling off bit, i bet it hurt like hell, but we can laugh about it, and Cantus - I owe you a fiver!

And to *everyone* else, any time you need a stopover in the Chester/Ellesmere Port area, i can have tea made in 5 mins and cake in an hour. Iced, too...

You've made me feel welcome. And for that more than anything else, thank you all....

Skulduggery, You wrote a pm to a friend of mine at exactly the right time, and made her so happy. Thankyou, because her happiness is important to me, and you are a beautiful soul for being so kind to her.

PK, you rock man, every day we have been friends, is another day of blessings for me. Thankyou for your friendship, your humour, your advice and your caring. You have really touched my life, and I am so honoured to call you friend. Massive hugs to you honey.

Arsn, Valura, my family. Arsn, everytime I see you, I am blown away by the depth of you. Your quiet gentle moments are a balm to me. Valura, you are always my fiercely protective, healing, angel sending sister, and you know how much I adore you for it I love you guys so much.

Rozi, thankyou my darling, for logic, for sillyness, for sardines and for being equally impatient and patient with me You make me a better person everytime we talk.

Mech, My mum watched Riddick the other day, and she loved the same line that we do. Back of the bus and stuff... I'm so glad I met you. I have some hilarious memories of times with you, and I"m very greatful of that.

Bovril, my great monkeybeastman! You taught me more about patience in four months, than I have ever had to know my entire life. You made me pull my hair out! But I love you for it. I love our movie going, juggling, mad giggling and music sharing moments, and thou you exasperate me so much, I'm so bloody glad you are out there in the world. I hope to see you again real soon...

There's more, but its really late here, and I'm all tiredy... Myco, thanks gorgeous! I'm glad you like my poetry, that means alot to me

More to come, love to all!

Currently on the right side up of the world.

Mint Sauce - your choice of music has had my brother in fits of giggles for 3 days now.

PyroWill - you took a jokey suggestion and actually ordered it for my birthday. You adorable muppet you

FNF - the best (and worst) travelling companion in the universe. There's nobody I'd rather cover with blankets and wander off to bury wild dogs on a sand dune in a distant desert.

Polythene - you fixed my little wheel and occasionally remember to change my water. Thanks for letting me out to run around in the garden sometimes.... No one I'd rather have as an owner

Psycho_lemming - cares so much about the safety of a postcard traversing the world that she will wrap it in a padded envelope and send a whole host of other treats along side it to keep it company.

Firepoise - finest purveyor of reindeers and stripey knee socks in living memory. Dubious taste in music just adds to the charm

Pink... - chose to waste all her credit in the last few days just to keep me sane. Plus she limped all the way to the postbox yesterday to make me smile. If it's made of paper is it strictly a "card" though honey?

UCOF - best breakfast in bed in the land. too many good points to mention. Make some up yourself, they're bound to be close to the mark.

Bender - largest collection of bendercentric psy trance tunes on the planet.

Mig - flagellates himself with his keyboard. Nuff said.

Lightning - enlightened the world to the fact that there is no e in lightning.

Brodieman - proclaimed the obverse

Simian - encouraged me to explore the differing aspects of my psyche, manifest and then annoy others with them.

Bluecat - Causes me to swear more consistantly than anyone else in the HoPiverse. Pretty much along the lines of "How the frigging hell did he do that?" and other such heavily veiled compliments.

That's enough for now methinks. More to come at some point in the future. If the thread doesn't turn into a slanging match and get moved into social discussion

Meh

best and worst hey? too true....

I want to compliment all the Hoppers I have met and corresponded with for being yourselves and being wonderful.



you make my world a happier place.

I have yet to come into contact with one that hasn't made me sing and smile inside.
