I'll do some! Probably in rubbish diablo, strangely-named poi moves, being tall, introduction to Sarcasm and innuendo, and rude jokes.
And if Kit gives a workshop in drinking Sambuca, I can do the setting fire to it bit (assuming the grand-sambuca-master Laura approves of the Edinburgh technique!)

The Edinburgh sambuca drinking techniques:
Kit - quantity not quality
Meg - just turns up her nose at it
Caro, Dave - happily imbibe with lighted glasses, but have yet to trascend to lit mouth standards
Rob - doesn't even light it.. booooo!
Matt - you are the only one who qualifies with an admirable technique of mouth-burnedness!
NB: NYC is probably the worst person I have ever seen attempt the mouth lighting technique!!
Drinking-related issues aside - thanks everyone for making my stay in Ed so enjoyable, especially Meg for the great hospitality and spinning antics... candlestick walkovers will elude us no longer!
I have now mostly recovered from the cold I got from swimming in the gutter... and the pictures make it all worth it!
Hope to see a lot of you at the BrJC (Brie J Cheese)
hugs

That's not what your mom said.
Bah... I come on here to get sentimental and say 'thanks for the memories' and I get bashed for not lighting my 5 shots of blue liquid properly. And I was just complimenting your contact poi to all of my buddies an hour ago too...
Fine. Screw you guys. I'm back in the land of plenty and life is grande. Everything is half price and the water pressure is amazing. In fact, my shower is running right now for tomorrow morning's shower just cuz I'm too lazy and wasteful to turn it off. Gas is cheap and water's free... and they actually put some friggin' alcohol in the drinks at the bars which stay open all night so you can drink and then ride home on the subways which are also 24 hour much like most of the restraunts, grocery stores, and shops in my neighborhood with my nice, variable seasons spread out smoothly over 12 months rather than 12 minutes. F#ckit... I'm voting for Bush and you can't stop me.
[Miss you all terribly. Wish I was there.
] Well, shall we go?
Yes, let's go.

oops, sorry Moll!
And sorry NYC... oh dear, not exactly maintaining good foreign relations here am I?! I have a tendancy for random insultationism, but its not personal, honest
Am missing the joys of Edinburgh... but also enjoying what comes with being back in Brizzle... except oh so hungover, bad bad bad - why do I so easily succumb to the wills of my housemates? I'm sure of there had been a pool I would have jumped in it too...
well anyway, sorry about the insultationism etc I love you all

even then
oh you lucky lady
don't worry about NYC, he just likes whinging.
wasn't he the one who almost burnt his teeth trying to light his mouth though? (if he was he deserves your jibes)

yes maybe so, but NOT the editing program I am using, the almost best in the world, ADOBE PREMIER 6.5.1! Don't give me any [censored] about linux tools, cos a mac would probably be best for editing, but I only have a pc.

So, anyway, the old rumour mill has indicated that tonight is actually going to be a Moon Meet on Arthur's Seat, not just a meeting on the Meadows.
Would suggest that going to the Bongo first sounds like a good plan (how much is such a thing, Mr Cat?) and then up Arthur's Seat, but if anyone else is going to/past the Meadows, call in and drag anyone there looking sad and lonely up the hill too...
See you guys later!

I'm hoping so! Not had any extra confirmation of the Seat rumours, but you never know with Edinburgh folk
Oh, and it doesn't look like I'll be making it down to Bristol - its week 1 of term, and the boss has decreed no leave in case student systems go AWOL in our absence
So I shall load up Rob/anyone else who is going with an appropriately large collection of hugs for Brizzle-people YARR! Thats replaced the whale in my nightmares!
