Can someone (preferably a local - *looks at Chrono*) PM me their mobile number? As I remember Hyde Park is a big place!

Last week I managed to contact whilst in a lift. (With a witness I may add.) You have no excuse not to contact on a train.

Yep, just about any petrol station. Look for the 3lt white tubs outside.
I know that the petrol station near the park had at least 10 last time I was there, so it may be worth getting it there instead of lugging it around.

when you guys have finished with your staff/poi or whatever do you put them back in paraffin when finished or just leave then. Or paraffin then squeeze out?

Strugz: Yeah, we'll bring plenty, but there's a place not too far away you can get it. I wouldn't worry about bringing it. Wastes too much valuable beer space.
Geezer: I tend to soak them after my last burn of the night, then leave to cool, (and evaporate a bit) before putting to bed, in their visqueen bag.

Off hand...
Nevilles- town centre DIY store behind Morrisons in that crappy little indoor market.
24hr Garage- Cardigan rd opposite the library.
And several hardware stores down in the Brudenells and the Harolds. If you know Maumoniats (brilliant little asian supermarket) there's a couple on that street. I just cant remember which Brudenell it is... Sorry.
Hope this helps.

It was good fun! Wow, so unhappy to be back at work in ed. Wishing I could stay down there, hang out and spin all day every day.
It was a very cool trip. Thanks to chronos for putting us up and dhowing us the cool places to spin. It was a magical trip, and not just due to being stoned.
thou I missed my train by two measly minutes...
You have to come to festivals chronos. Otherwise we will sacrifice you.

You all rock and are welcome back any time..
Learnt absolutely loads, met some amazing people, and once my back stops complaining I have so many new ideas to try out. Really glad you enjoyed yourselves as well.
Burnoffs!!! Looking forwards to seeing the video, and I hope I can spend some more time with you all soon.

@Neon- well it's true I was sent to the shoalin temple aged 5 and 3 months. But I wasn't there long. It was my 7th birthday when I was abducted by the the Iron Tengu ninja clan. Who, guided by an ancient prophecy, believed me to be the 53rd reincarnation of their legendary founder Hideo Nagata. It was only then that my true training began....

sorry I couldnt make it for the weekend guys, I was extremely hungover on sunday and went to the gym to try and get half fit/ un-fat for my holiday.
Ive been practicing a bit in room to get btb 3 beat weave but still cant get it, however last night I cracked btb butterfly so its a start i suppose.
If its not slashing it down tonight I'll come to the park but this nice weather is fast disappearing
Is there anywhere indoors we can all practice?
Ive lit my firepoi up now a couple of times and im still not too confident with them, a fountain with windmill singed some of my hair, oops (its been cut shorter now anyway)

Cheers to Strugs, MCP, and Neon Shaolin for coming over on the weekend, hope to see you all again sometime soon.
Geezer: Good work with the poi! I managed to hook up three steves in a row last night. (V.Happy.) Now just to do it on fire.
The forecast says there's only going to be rain tonight until 19:00 so there may well be a clear night. Failing that, I know Chrono333 knows a place thats both sheltered and spinnable. So I'll be going anyway.
