and I'm as nervous as if I'm walking into a bar full of strangers - so deep breath and here we go...
Just got into poi and i'm pretty crap but it's just such a buzz so gonna keep at it - who says you can't teach an old dog...
a good friend is getting married next august and she's told her mum I'll do fire! no pressure then.
I'm not v good at chat rooms n stuff, they scare me - in fact it's been 3 years since I last went on one but the guy who introduced me to poi is/was a HOPer so i reckon it's worth a try
dya know I was even worried about these fab little things I've seen on people's messages - right over my head i thought - and here they are on the screen - doh!
But now I can't get em on here aargh! 1 step forward, 1 step back.
Hopefully I'll look back on this and laugh in years to come!

Yes you do need to state a preferance.
Me:
My name is UCOF and I am a student from UKC at Canterbury
I have a bicycle. It is caked in mud. I like mud.

Nutella. Marmite is the foul stench of all humanity
No
No. But I really want a bionic eye for Christmas. One that can see through walls and has a laser.
Pink is only good when it is UV reactive.
Neither. Go look in the socail forum for a thread I may have used.

Girl we come from everywhere, so you never know where we might pop up from.
You got the T-shirt?!!! That is fantastic! I've never seen on with the signature on it, I'm going to have to look for it now. That is something that I definitly want to take with me to OZ.
Oh by the way, have you seen my Tuesday?

I would love to learn to make one, but I haven't been able to figure it out either. What I really want is a smiley face that is on a pogo stick that will bounce across the screen, now THAT would be cool.

Don't do germans!
Don't do Northwich you mean.
it's a horrible place.
i always thought it was amusing that it's twinned with Dole. especially as that's what most of the populace is on....
I've been making that joke since 1990 and it's never got a laugh so don't feel bad if you didn't like it either.
Whereabouts in Northwich do you live?

Rudheath - very solubrious and what's worse I CHOSE to move here. Tells you alot about Dymchruch......
or my life or head but that's too scary to comtemplate
So where are you now and why 1990? That's a long time ago - even people in Nothwich have jobs now

in 1990 i was going to Sir John Deane's and travelling passed the Northwich twinned with dole sign every day.
I went to a party in Rudheath Social club last saturday night. that was interesting.
It was like being trapped in a Phoenix Nights episode.
