RAW results seem interesting, just had a flick over. Any thoughts anyone??

I've been about, just not been in the posting mood as such. I may post one or two messages then wander off for a while. I haven't really noticed it going quiet around here though.

My real name is James Richards, i am 22 and i was born in Worcester, UK in July 1986. I have one annoying sister and parents who won't let me get away with breathing. I did have 2 gerbils and a goldfish, but alas they are now deceased for 3 years. I grew up in different areas of Europe. Started in Hereford until i was 5 then i moved to Germany in 1992/3 where i went to the local English speaking school where i learned a lot of German so i could get by as it were. Came back to the UK when i was 9 and spent the next 14 years living in Caldicot, South Wales. Went to the local Comprehensive where i met most of my friends i know now. It was ok, and i learned much about computers and Graphics (drawing etc) which set the first stone to where i am now. During my school years, i was an in-betweener which means i was neither a troublemaker or a swot, i just did what i thought was right which meant i avoided many punishments. Left school at 15 (2002), started my first job at the local Garden Centre where i learned much about the different types of plants, how to care for them etc. Basically i learned a lot about plants, gardening and stoneware. During this job i was at a Learning Centre where i learned about Office Admin and CAD, i did get paid for going on this course (£50 p/w + travel expenses). Then i moved onto College and studied a GNVQ in ICT (passed) and resat my Maths GCSE (failed this, due to exam mix-up) Left the Garden Centre job in 2004 because of lack of hours and pay, i did try and get more hours but alas it failed, so i moved onto the local retail store near my house (5 minutes up the road) where i learned how to use a till and how to spot underage people using fake I.D. I spent the next 2 years on a flaming till earning more money. I was also in college as well studying a AVCE ICT course. I learned many skills including Accountancy, Databases, Building Websites etc. This also had a Systems Support course built into the AVCE course. I learned many aspects of ICT maintenance, most of which has come into use over the years. I passed both of these courses in 2006. Got sacked from the shop in 2006 because the manager didn't like me, and i didn't get a chance to appeal against the decision either. Over the course of a year i dotted about on the dole while jumping into several jobs which were doomed to fail. I finally achieved my first full-time job in 2007 as a CNC Programmer at a local bridge firm where i program machinery to cut bridge components (my CAD/Graphics courses came in handy here). Been here for 20 months now and still enjoying it a tremendous lot. That covers the living/employment/education part i think. Most of my free time these days since leaving school has been gaming and browsing the net. I joined 2 forums, Zelda Universe and N-Europe where i have made many more friends and have great memories of both forums. I can't think of any better web forum i've been on except these two. N-Europe does have better members, and i spent most of my current web-time logged onto here and Facebook. When i was 18, i started to play pool on a regular basis and have now joined my local clubs team where i play against many different players and learning new skills along the way. I enjoy my movies and music a lot as well. Movie wise, i like anything by Jackie Chan and Jim Carrey. I am also a fan of Sly Stallone, Will Smith, Bruce Lee and Tim Allen just to name a few others. And i also like the 007 movies as well. Music, well i do like anything in the modern charts, Bon Jovi, Queen, Bryan Adams, R.E.M, Eminem, Will Smith, Europe, Michael Jackson, Phil Collins etc. I have a small group of friends who i can really call true mates. They are there when you need them and i can't ask for a better group of mates really. I am also single after getting rid of my now ex girlfriend because of cheating and not visiting me on her side (i was loyal, she was not (long story)) That basically sums up my life so far. If you wish to know more, holla this way.

Damn, my mates not out again tonight due to repercussions of a head injury he sustained on Friday night. He's not happy as he hasn't had a pint in a week, but on the plus side look at all the money he's saved. Also i bought the new Now 72 album and this auto-search for artists is shocking. It doesn't exist on any search artist area so i had to type in each song manually, takes the mick that does.

"It don't matter if your Black or White"

I got a party to go to this weekend, and am working on good Friday. Now, some of you will be thinking "eh, working on Good Friday!! who does" but its a plan i have. As i work in Chepstow and the party i'm going to is in Chepstow it kills two birds with one stone. Do a days work, get the holiday back and go straight to my mates house where we will meet before the party 2 hours earlier is a time saver in my opinion. I shall be going to work in my stuff i shall wear that evening and carry a bo can with me, so i smell nice.

Happy Birthday to two great members, have great days respectively.

Indeed we do, i laughed. Very happy with the results, a few un-predictable ones as usual. And a few memorable "Wrestlemania" moments.

Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves Kevin Costner stars. Brilliant movie, extra long directors cut of the movie as well which means more action and more in depth story to an already deep movie. 10/10

Well, it was an idea thought up in the movie thread a while ago.

Dear Diary, i must continue

Another one, hows that Recall donation box coming along EEVIL.

Sorry, couldn't think of a better title. Thou shalt celebrate thy birth of n-e's own Bard................. Um, yeah. Sorry. Lets all wish The Bard a Happy 20th Birthday.

I would of liked some more open plains in GTA IV, i'm sure New York has some plains on the outskirts. Still, GTA IV is a great game

It wasn't too bad of a game. Yes, the gym thing was a pain and so was all that "physical" training as such i.e. riding a bike etc. But the rest of the game including the gang wars was enjoyable. Ok the gang wars dragged on for a bit and they were hard to find in some locations, but it was still good.

Pear is a nice fruit. Makes a nice Cider as well.

Enemy of the State An awesome Will Smith movie, the story that it follows is just plain awesome. 9.5/10

Take a Seat, this one ain't done yet

I'm having a night in tonight, no mates are available tonight at all. One is a bum and has no money, the one that got injured last night is on medication and cannot drink, one is working tonight and another is in town with a bunch of mates. So i'm in with a few beers. Which means Harry Hill at 6:30pm and the Bulls game at 7pm which should do me nicely up until 8:30pm.

I'm off to listen to Akon I'll get my coat

Happy Birthday mate, have a good un. See you at the Party Richter!. Lovely first post there Flink, reminds me of the impressions i do in work.

An eventful last night, which turned out good in the end. Went out at 8pm, met my mate up there. 20 mins into the night he wasn't feeling too good and went to throw up (he hadn't drank anything yet), next thing i knew he was bleeding out of his head. To cut a long story short, he ended up in the hospital whilst i had a night out on my own until the 3rd member of our group arrived at 10:30pm.

For a nice Play coming soon.

Man, shaving cuts are terrible. I've only cut small patches, but this one is the worst one i've had. I was in a rush as sorts, it hurts a bit and a dibstick (blood stop pens) ain't working. Apart from that, the day ain't been too bad. Just watched the Wrestlemania X match between Owen and Bret, had dinner and now getting ready to go out.

I knew Austin was going in, didn't know about the others. Cheers for the info mate.
