Yup, here it is! The lowdown on the dork pictured above. I'll be brief. You're probably thinking ``You bloody liar'' or some such comment, coz I do tend to warble on a bit. <scratches head> Actually I am right now! Ahem!!
Right then the stats. I'm Welsh, 4'8'' (no it isn't a typo and I am NOT vertically challenged <politically correct crap> I AM SHORT!!! It's actually quite useful. Cuz I'm also disabled (not ``physically challenged'', groan, I 'ate that crap, I really do!), in a wheelchair from birth. I have Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus. The combination of low altitude and the seated position means that, in the company of girls, especially at parties where they are all standing about in miniskirts, the view can get VERY interesting.... AHEM!!!!!!! Umm... oops... But we digress (told ya I would).
I was hatched... errr... I mean built... uhhhh... what's the word? Oh yeah... Born... in Cardiff, Wales, May 15th, 1970. I have dark brown hair and eyes (two... eyes not hairs OK?). Oh yeah, last but not least I'm 98lbs, a lightweight.... OK, who said paperweight?? Come on, own up!!! LOL!!!!
The handle is coz I have never conformed to anything in my entire life... <g> No hiding away in the corner for this lil puppy <LOL>! <stop that sniggering!>
My interests are very varied. Girls!! Come top of the list!!!! Well given half a chance they do ;-) I'm also heavily into music, who else can count Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Phil Collins, Whitesnake, The Riverdance Soundtrack, and a horde of other weird and wonderful combinations among their collection? At the moment I am veering toward the AOR genre, with a twist of traditional Celtic music thrown in. Yes it is varied, I grant you.
IRC I came to in the summer of 1994. I won't bore you with the details. Bore yourself if you're really that interested ;o)
Um, other than that, my car. A British Racing Green V reg Volkswagen Lupo 1.4S Auto, goes like the Enterprise-D with Deanna Troi at the helm... only it doesn't fetch a planet in the face as often ;o) I love blasting the stereo and putting the hammer down. Frustrated biker? Could beeeee... Hong Kong Phooey, Number One Super Guy.... STOP THAT!!!! I'm going to get locked up one day I can tell!!!
I'm into computers, I know that's a bloody shock, else why the hell am I here??? Also photography, the piccie above is a JPG done with a Sony DSC F1 Digital camera.
TECHIE BIT: Feel free to ignore it cos I'm just showing off here :-) My old PC bit the bullet on Christmas Eve, and being the kind of impulsive guy I am, I decided to buy a new one, buying a PII 450 w/64bMb RAM... I subsequently ended up with... wait for it... PII 450Mhz, 256Mb SDRAM, 8x2 Mitsumi CDWriter, 32x CDROM/DVDROM, internal Iomega Zip drive, 8.6Gb HD, ATI Xpert98 8Mb Video Card, Hauppagge WinTV card, 64 voice audio card, Logitech QuickCam Home USB, and an Epson GT-7000 USB A4 flatbed scanner. And no.. I can't lift the box!
Historically, I have done a bit of sport. I wasn't always the unhealthy spotty fat bastard you see in the piccie (and the first one to agree will.... Just kidding!!!) In 1984 (I think) I was Junior British Champion at the wheelchair slalom. Since then sod all mind you. Yes I know I'm not a Junior any more <mutters> Quarter of a century!!! Pah!!! <grumble> Yes alright I've just been reminded I left quarter of a century behind some time ago <sulk>. I have done a couple of 10K road races. Its only then that you truly realise how some people's perception of flat is a load of old cobblers! (UK for crap) I remember dimly muttering to a course official once (breathing quite heavily) that someone appeared to have redefined the definition of the term flat in my absence!!!! Was I a happy camper? Not a bit of it!
I just took up archery again .... after a ten year layoff, which let me tell you was not the best idea. It's a tiny bit long. As my body swiftly reminded me the first week, whereupon I discovered aches in muscles in places I didn't even realise I had places! Let alone muscles in them!!!! <LOL> Anyway, not to put too fine a point on it I was total crap. So, having found that my body is an entirely different concept from that which it was ten years ago, and totally incompatible with Archery, which came as a bit of a surprise, I now have a bow and case to sell.. Interested? <g>
So I am currently using free weights from home to work off all this energy...... Hmmmmmm..... Check out the Celtic Newsflashpage to keep up on my progress. One day I promise to figure out what I'm doing..... Probably!
Anyway, tara for now, and as I think has been said before, any questions, on anything at all, please feel free to ask.
Syonara, Bye Bye!!! <nicked from the Cannonball Run, if you had ever wondered>
