Its amazing the lure of the pole - the power the power!!!

when we were at uni we always started friday nights with the drinking games - think I spent all weekend in a drunken haze - would sit there in monday morning lectures with the shakes!

Cool!

I'm tempted (and this must be as a result of having my brain fried) to pick Shania Twain 'Man I Feel Like A Woman' - feels kick ass! 'Mens' shirts, short skirts....let's go girls' all that stuff!

Oh, and she's Canadian, so feels appropriate.

Bollux is actually the name of a droid in the Han Solo trilogy of Star Wars novels by Brian Daley. Written by an American who didn't seem to understand how it would be treated when they were printed in the UK.

Great post for the Bollux thread........was he renamed for the films, or ignored?
