Well, I suppose I'd better start with some information describing what I look like...
I'm from England (Yeah, but where in England?), I'm approximatly 170cm tall, blonde with green/blue eyes (No, that's not one green and one blue!), fair skinned... Just look at the picture at the bottom of the page...

If you want more detailed information, keep reading...
Likes and Dislikes
Music
Anything. I'm not particularly fussy when it comes to music. Either I like a song, or dislike it. Although I have no general
group or artist the I look out for, I do like The Cranberries, REM, Blur, Robert Miles, Bon Jovi...
Food
I like most pasta meals, sorry, make that all pasta meals. Chinese food, English food (such as it is), Greek food (stop laughing, Xenia), plus most junk food :-)
I quite like spicy food, but not too spicy. I hate mashed potato, never feed me it! Eugh!
Sports and stuff
I don't like watching sport on the television. If you're going to like sports, get out there and do it. Having said this, there's not really a great deal in the way of sports that I enjoy. I like squash, swimming, walking (is that a sport?), riding (bike, but I have tried horse)... I don't do as much as I should, and I should probably go to the gym more (read: at least once).
General
Oooo... Here's a difficult bit...
As well as the stuff mentioned above, I like computing, reading, sleeping ;-), work (most of the time), Physics (no maths, please!!), Star Trek, Babylon 5, videos and cinema...
I get the magazine Focus every month, Frontiers when I can find it, and PC magazines infrequently. I like the Internet, but I currently have no connection at home, only work and university. that should change in July, though!
I like cats and dogs, although I prefer cats. My family has 4 rabbits (as of last count!!), but they make me sneeze. Sorry, that was more than you needed to know!
I'm not religous. I enjoy 'arguing' with religious people, and if someone can come up with enough evidence to convince me, I'll become religous. Consider yourself challanged!
History
I was born in February, 1977. I attended Porthleven Infants and Junior school,
then upgraded to Helston Comprehensive school. I started my GSCEs in 1991,
taking English, Maths, Science (Double award), Computing Practical, Art, Design and French.
After 2 years of solid study (Yeah, right...) I received a Distinction in Computing Practical,
a double B in Science, C in English (You wouldn't know it from my spelling - I've been spoiled by Microsoft Word!), C in Maths as well as some very bad results in the rest ;-)
Hopeless though my results may have seemed, they still enabled me to go on to do A-Levels at the 6th form of Helston School. Specifically, Physics, Chemistry and Electronics (AS-Level)
Half a year into my A-levels, I discovered that I could do Computer Studies A-Level. I previously believed that as I hadn't done it at GCSE (only coputeing practical - didn't count, apparently!). I promptly re-started my A-levels, dumping Chemistry (which I hated) and Electronics (which the entire class was in the process of failing!) in favour of Computer Studies and Physics (module based).
After a further 2 years, and after discovering that I liked Physics, but hated Maths, I received a 'B' for Computer Studies, and an 'E' for Physics... :-(
This was enough, however, to get into UWE (the University of the West of England, Bristol (CSM faculty)doing BSc (hons) Software Engineering. I completed 2 years of my course, and then started a job placement at Hygate Transmissions Ltd. (Yes, I know that the hyperlink points to the David Brown Group, the Hygate 'web site' (hohoho) is part of it...) I am currently close to the end of my placement year, and will shortly progress to my final year at UWE.
Hurrah.
