I'm a 15 year old male from York, England.

I have moved house around 10 times during my relatively short lifetime. So I miss a lot of people *plays violin sound on keyboard*.

I'm quite lazy but can speak French and German to a limited degree. I usually acheive well in school, especially in Maths and and foreign languages. I am also a fan of what the french call 'la comedée intellectualle' (note : that French may be fictional).

I'm an atheist who is sick of being told frequently in religious education that Christianity is the best religion due to it being... umm.... run by the queen (the Church of Engliand is anyway). Remember kids, Islam brought almost all of our technical advancements. And Buddhism is very intellectual. Sikhism isn't bad either, it's quite Old-Testament-esque. Hinduism is pretty cool also. Many cool festivals...

I particuarly despise ignorance and also one-sidedness and am, for this reason, quite argumentative, especially when politics or religion is involved. To be honest, the most ignorant/one-sided people I have met have mostly (*dons heat-proof clothing*) been American. Tai not included, natch.

I'm a left-wing liberal chap, much like Beef, and am in favour of socialism although would not despise communism either.

I love music and can play the keyboards. I am also the lead vocalist in a ska band called The New Smart Casuals (although, as I have told the drummer who created the name, that it sounds like a New-Romantic 80's band). I own a fair few of the eJay products, they're pretty good.

My musical tastes range from scandinavian heavy metal to techno and virtually anything in between. Even Snoop Dogg. He's pretty great. And Tim Westwood, despite not being a hip-hop artist, is one of the most hilarious people alive, seemingly not knowing what irony is.

I wash my hair quite a lot, yet never brush/comb it. It just does what it likes and, to be honest, I don't really care...

The most homosexual thing I do is listen to Placebo, one of my favourite bands, who's songs are pretty much all about sex and yet are not gratuitous. The lead singer is quite 'different from the norm'.

On that note, despite being british, I can talk quite freely about sex *claps hands on face in horror* and love, due to always being the 'nice guy' stereotype to my friends (most of whom are female).

Also being british I love to have meaningless discussions that can go on for hours. I also joke about getting most of France back under british control, mostly for the cheese and wine to be honest.

I don't drink a lot, but when I do I like Ouzo, Gin & Tonic (Mmm tasty, tasty Gordons) and beer.

I can also write poetry about anything, most of which is ironically lame (I can write poetry quite well). Go on, ask me!

Here is a picture of me



One day I'll put my voice on the internet too...

My goodness, we're like peas in a pod, except I don't look anything like you I'm afraid. In fact you look scarily like my housemate's little brother :S Plus , I like the name The New Smart Casuals.

Oh, and I'm probably a bit more camp.
Brian Molko once turned down Caprice when she threw herself at him, which is pretty cool (I would too, she's clearly annoying in the extreme).

[PrejudiceSucks]

Yeah, we're both yorkshiremen. But yes, we are also very, very similar.

Lame fact about me : I was born in Exeter when my mother was visiting hers at Christmas (hence my birthday being on the 28th of December, a whole 7 weeks premature) but my father had me registered in York so that I could play for Yorkshire country cricket team.

How lame is that?

Oh yeah, I also have quite a strong southern accent which some people up north find gay... odd since I've lived here for 6 years now...

[PrejudiceSucks]

And I would like to hear more about you, Miss Raffles. That would be nice...

[taikara]

Topic reopened. Flamefest + spam have been moved to the admin forum.

Remember, if you can't say something nice, keep it to yourself. Or send a PM

Right ho: I'm 24 years old, female and paranoid about posting personal details about myself on an internet forum, because I'm mortally afraid that somebody there might turn out to be my tutor.

Despite of what you may think I'm more of a book person than a gamer. I own about ten computer games and roughly 10,000 books (I haven't actually read all of them, obviously). I'm doing a degree in English Lit and my computer skills are pretty much nonexistant.

I like languages and have a working knowledge of six languages (seven if you count Danish, which I can understand because I did a bit of Norwegian), but I'm not really fluent in any of them, except English and German.

When I was younger I hated going for walks and now I quite enjoy it. I used to play the violin, but I just didn't have enough time to practise when I started at university, which is a shame, really.

Quite a few of my friends are mathematicians for some reason, don't ask me why. I used to go to a lot of talks at the maths society (but I haven't lately), even though I only understand about half of it. It's still fun, though.

I've never smoked, broken a bone or been stung by a bee. How boring.

[BeefontheBone]

Never broke a bone, but I've been stung by a wasp (does that count?) and in addition to smoking marijuana (it's bad, m'kay?) I'm one of those annoying "non-smokers" who bums cigarettes off smokers, particularly at work.

[PrejudiceSucks]

at least you don't do ketamine.

I got stong by a hornet in Greece. That hurt a HELL OF A LOT, even just on my elbow. And they have freaky orange wings. And are huge. *shudders*

I have probably passively inhaled hundreds of cigarettes but have never tried smoking, simply because I know that I would get addicted.

Oh yeah, also according to my GP I'm 'extremely depressed' but I refused Prozac. I'll be taking none of that...

[BeefontheBone]

Good for you - that stuff's weird.

[PrejudiceSucks]

Indeed. No need to make me depressed and slightly crazy... or crazier depending on how you view my comments.

[TheVoid]

Ok, I guess I could as well introduce myself.

I'm a 19 year old guy from Italy, the north-eastern part of it.
I could use some time in describing how do I look like, but that's what personal photos are here for, even tho that pic is taken the morning after a drink night from Italy to Greece (to tourists: it's actually fun to get drunk on boats). What you can't get from the pic is that I'm 1.76m and 69-71kg, and my hair is a bit longer now. Oh, and I'm not wearing a sweatshirt, it's 35° here.

I mostly like reading, hanging out with friends, playing some sports, frisbee sessions, drawing, sometimes writing, overall trying to be "creative" in the stuff I do. Music is another thing I rather enjoy, I'm trying to learn how to properly play a guitar, yet I severely suck at it. My genre of choice is Progressive Rock, but I rather like other stuff such as Pink Floyd, Queen, ska, reggae, blues and some classical too.

I'm good enough at school, that is, I do well in subjects I like and manage to get a weak     sufficience in those I hate. I've been learning English, French and German, though I can't say I'm perfect in any of them. I can speak Latin as well, yet the chances of a good conversation are quite few due to it being a dead language etc. etc.

I'm left-wing, but somewhat opened to every way of seeing a situation (my former girlfriend was quite rightwing, this taught me a lot about tolerance and how sometimes   we can believe too easily to be right.).Things that mostly piss me off in politics are corruption and hypocrisy, "qualities" that are fairly plentyful in our government class, our prime minister himself being/having been involved in a lot of trials. He's generally a moron during international meetings too, every time defending himself by saying "'it was a joke."

But I was talking about me, I guess I got carried away. I'm going to have the last exam (oral) of my college career the 5th of July, I should be working on it right now, but I'm a timewaster. After that I'll go to university, faculty of Architecture in Venice.

I'm rather free from prejudices, I wash myself enough, I can cook and make couple of cocktails. And having worked for three years at the local fair, I can tap beer pretty well (applying the rule, one to the client - one to the tapper    - they PAID me with beer, after all). I like drinking, beer and wine are both good. My fav beer is Guinness, as for wines I'd choose a sweet red.
My main flaws: starting many projects and not being able to finish them all (I'm improving that tho); always wasting too much time when busy in a project; lazy sometimes.

I've never broke a bone, I've been stung 3 times by wasps, and every day by tiger mosquitos, a race proudly brought from Africa by our transporters.  Hurts twice your average mosquito, is faster and generally more bastard. I do smoke sometimes.

I guess there's more, but heck, I've typed enough today.

then got kicked(I did not said anything) and joined other servers later on...the same result.

... maybe that should tell you something about using Himmler as a nickname...

[Himmler]

Yeah it is:They are not that wise as they seem.They called me a racist for what? I didn't even talked to them....exactly what I said:people jump to conclusions too soon!

[Microprose Veteran]

Weeelll...

Fundamentally (whoa), Hitler, Himmler, Göring, Goebbels, Heydrich, Eichmann etc... Are just names. It's just that they were unfortunately used by some rather nasty people.

Here in my city (Utrecht, The Netherlands) there's a square that's called "Eyckmanplein." Now Eyckman doesn't sound that special, does it? In Dutch anyway. In German, it sounds like this: Eichmann.

Note, the name can also be translated in English: Oakman.
