Coi, may i ask what made you want to give poi a go?
That sounds ever so serious doesnt it? Im trying my best not to imply anything about age! (Sorry!) Im just naturally faaarkin ruuude Smile

Talking of cheap beer, a friend of mine works in Westminster, did anyone know they all get £1.20 pints in the 'private' bars in there? Thats where our bloody taxes go! Not that students pay them blush

No main reason, tho several small ones... I kinda picked some up several (or ten) years ago, but i never really commited to learning so i gave up.
Then i revisited SEA last year, done a FMP and watching the fireboys again mesmerized me (for a couple of reasons Smile

), tho i didnt pick any up til i returned from another trip to thailand in february, i gave myself a challenge and i enjoy learning new stuff Rolling Eyes

Awesome! I have to say ive never seenany really good poi in person, my mate pete is el presidente of his uni's juggling society and brought some poi home with him for the easter break, it just felt like loads of fun so off i went!

I'm also suffering from work overload at the moment so its really relaxing, still cant do backward weaves though Razz
