But welcome to HoP, person!

Technically I'm Senior Sales for an Ambient media agency. Which basically translates to the guy that tells all the promo girls where to stand. Not a bad gig really.

It doesn't get any better than that...except maybe fired from a cannon whilst on fire. Don't call me cruel, you opened pandora's box with that cannon.

I certainly will settle for dance madam!
Woodfried pizza is when it's cooked in an uber woodfried pizza oven. From what I can tell it's a massive brick oven with a fire in the back. It gets super hot and cooks your pizza in a flash and makes it taste extra yum. My mates Dad (Laurie) built one and we have pizza/ fire nights at his house on occasion.

Oh, those ovens.
I thought it had something to do with pan frying or deep frying, which confused me.
