1/What age are you? (Dont have to answer if embarrassed!!)
Heck, ya caught me on a good day. 37 - but growing younger all the time.

2/Whats your favourite pastime except from surfing the net?
DRIVING!! Anywhere and everywhere... if there is a road... there I am. If there isn't a road... time to make one!

3/Whats your favourite TV programme or movie,etc?
Don't laugh, but I watch the Weather Channel a lot. It is one of those things that I like to be prepared.

4/If you do not go to school like myself what do you work as?
Paid tourist. There is paperwork involved, but the scenery is worth it.

5/Do you enjoy your job and would you recommend it to someone like me as a future career?
You have to have a certain temperment to not have a permanent home. Basically a truck driver is a gypsy that delivers freight. Would I recommend it? Probably not. A lot of people in it now don't have the right temperment for the job. And when you make a mistake here, it can kill someone - most are afraid of that.

6/What pets do you have?
none at the moment... although I am looking at a dog...

7/When did you get your first PC with internet connection?
Ah.. the dinosaur age - first PC was an Amiga, then there was a custom PC and I have been on the net since about the late 80s... remember AOL when it was new.

8/How much did the computer cost and what were its specifications?(Ahh the classics!!!)
My memory is faulty, but I think the Amiga had almost a 200 meg hard drive and 8 megs of memory. Played DOS based games on it. I think it was about $250 (got it used)

9/What is your favourite website appart from the Ironworks?
Favorite website? Have tons!! I think Motley Fool would be my fav.

10/How did you find out about the board?
Playing Baldur's Gate 2 and was looking for some hints because I was stuck. Found the forum around February and lurked a while. Posted when I got really stuck - and Memnoch mentioned for me to get on GD... and so the addiction was born.

Was looking for a game to buy, stumbled across Wizards and Warriors - found the Ironworks review - the game was already released in the states, so went to their forum to see what people thought of it - hooked ever since.

OK, done my part, now let'stalk RUGBY .
