Please note: I will want Fish and Chips and a pint, not pens.....lol

Just bear in mind, I will be expecting you two to return the favor whenever I have a chance to visit.  
I LOVE my balloon family and wouldn't trade it for the world.

Til we meet again.....

Hi, Graham!!!!!!  :lol:  I never hardly ever post so just saying hi to my dear friend. Even though I don't come around much, I still appreciate all the hard work Graham has put into this site over the years. Definitely a labor of love. And a great resource to balloon artists around the world!

<3 U Graham!

YES!!!! Very excited about T & S coming to town! Can hardly wait.  

Happy 6th Anniversary to Graham and all the other powers that be on BalloonChat.uk. I am the worse when it comes to joining in here, but I couldn't let this opportunity pass without adding my congratulations to my friend. Hope you have many more years of sharing the balloon fun, madness, and love!  

Love ya loads Graham!!!!!

I realize this is going to be a very mundane subject to some, but I am thrilled to report that I have found the perfect bandage (as we call them in the states) that sticks on to my fingers through all the twisting I do on a regular basis. In our climate, I often get splits in my skin which are very painful and only get worse the more I work. I have finally discovered (after many years of looking) a bandage/plaster that works! It is Band-Aid brand DRY-FIT Fabric--you have to make sure it says that exactly--the regular fabric ones aren't the same. The only place I have found them individually is Target (they even sell them online) although I first found them in a combo pack I got at Costco. The fabric is very thin but durable and even though I rub on it constantly while working, they stay on. It is like having a second skin. I am hoping someone finds this as awesome as me--no more sore fingers!   Let me know if you try them. Be sure they say DRY-FIT--the regular fabric ones aren't the same.

All right, I have to post or else I'll be booted off , so here goes:

Hello, Graham. So glad to see you will be at Twist and Shout! Even happier that I am able to go--LOL. Don't forget, I owe you lunch for that great motorcycle design which I still use all the time.    See you soon. Have safe travels.

just when I think I've seen it all......Loving the Dr. Z.

Thanks for sharing....

Totally flipping awesome. My family are REALLY big Simpsons fans--can't wait to show them. You are brilliant!

Almost used an uninflated 660 as a blindfold this weekend--parent asked for inflated balloon which I immediately nixed. Then another parent found a headband. And before you go weird places--the blindfold was for pinata busting, of course....

Also, use balloons to tie my pumps and scissors to hang down from my fanny pack strap (which carries my biz cards, money, keys, breath mints and other tiny assorted stuff). Tried other things but they kept breaking through my abuse.

I love the nose and ears on Dracula and the entire head of F's monster--great work. And not too hard for restaurant work--on a slower night  

Completely AWESOME, as usual, Twistina.

Just thought I'd jump in and say...I LOVE my Filbert. I got it about 2 months ago and i wouldn't be caught without it. I love the attention it attracts and I always demonstrate it when people ask what it is. I have so much more energy now form not having to work so hard to inflate balloons.

Hello, Graham,

Just wanted to let you know I have had GREAT success with this motor bike design in restaurants, so I am hereby publicly declaring that I owe you a meal the next time we meet. I have scaled it down to use 260's and have probably made 100-200 by now. Thanks for the great design! Quick and effective ($)....
