Hey Springleapers!

Springleap.com is launching a brand new and exciting competition! Eric and Eran have been chatting to Telana Simpson whom started One Match Stick. The basic concept behind her website is that she is trading from one match stick until she gets offices. She has done a total of eight trades thus far excluding the trade with Springleap.com. Her vision is truly transpiring as she even managed to trade for a movie about One Match Stick! Wow now that’s awesome!

She is now going to do her ninth and ten trade with Springleap.com, and you better believe we are super stoked on that.So you must be wondering what Springleap.com got traded? Well, Telana traded Party of the Century with DJ ‘AL your Pal’ with Eric and Eran for 375 funky t-shirts. The tenth trade will then happen; Telana will need 375 people to trade 375 Springleap.com t-shirts. This is the exciting part all you avid Springleapers get to enter your best design for the One Match Stick competition coming soon.

you’ve just joined springleap - say howzit to everyone else, and tell everyone something interesting about yourself.

something that will make people want to ask you more…

i’ll go first - at one stage i had 3 piercings! 2 in my left ear. one in my eyebrow! now i’ve got none!!!

various meanings attached, none of which are too serious..

i liked the juxtaposition which is at the same time arbitrary and appropriate, as battery hens occupy a space much like a stock market – cramped, chaotic and a little bit scary.

but chickens after all have nothing to do with men in suits.

,NOW DO THEY!!!!????
