I'm Arrowhead, silver-tongued extraordinaire.

**Big King Sanctaphrax** · 05-17-2005, 18:09

I'm 16, and live in Cardiff South Wales. I'm currently studying at a Sixth from college, and am currently taking my AS level exams in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, English Lit. and History. I hope to study medicine at university.

I'm generally very easy to spot, as I have long hair past my shoulders-to the small of my back now, actually-and wear psychedelic tie-dye t-shirts at all times. I'm a huge progressive/hard rock fan, with my favourite band being, as most people who are regulars to this forum will probably have gathered by now, the almighty Pink Floyd.

I have a passion for history, particulry the aerial aspect of the second world war, which has always fascinated me. I also love computer games, with Character based RPGs, adventure games and TBS's being my favourite. I play electric bass in a rock band with friends. Star Wars is a major part of my life.

I'd like to leave the UK at some point, and would actually like to live in America for a few years, to see what it's like-or at least travel it at length if residence isn't possible.

I'm also stick thin.

Iliadin, what sort of bikes do they have in Russia these days? I see people still import a few Urals and stuff into the UK but, no disrespect, you'd have to be brave (ie mad) to buy one. But then we don't have your winters. Do you have Japanese bikes, any Italians, maybe even Triumph?

I'm a biker myself, I've got a Honda CB900 for day to day stuff around London, and a restored 1969 Norton Commando for when I want real misery/terror. The Honda's a nice bike, its got the fireblade engine so plenty of power and Hondas are as reliable as a watch. The Norton, well lets just say the Norton is not quite so reliable...

Oh and I recognise the problem of not having enough cash for a bike. I started out on an ancient AR125 I bought off a mate who had had it in his garage for years, and it was absolute crap. It stank like a chainsaw, went about five miles an hour, and had an intermittent fueling problem that I never did solve that use to make it cut out at random intervals. God alone knows why I ever got another bike after that pig but I'm glad I did.

I'm Kaiser, I live about 20 minutes north of Philadelphia. I come from Northern New Jersey. I am going to be 15 in August, and am currently in 9th Grade. I plan on going into the military after High School, but I have not decided how and what branch yet. I am currently out of shape, however, I'm getting better (50lbs, 3 mins off the mile, and +24 situps per minute in the last 8 months or so). I am learning German, and am going to Germany this summer (and I am very excited about that, the beer will flow like Niagra falls ~:P). I'm one of the most conservative people you will ever talk to, and am widely considered to be a psychopath by my peers. And my history teacher. And my English teacher. In my spare time, I study European and American history, and also modern society and philosiphy. I am an avid reader at times, though at other times I don't even like reading the newspaper. The most recent book I've read is All Quiet on the Western Front. Currently, I have all A's in school, which is above a 90. With the exception of Gym that is, I have a mid-B (around an 86) in that. I listen to almost every form of Music except Hip-Hop and Rap, and R&B, and my favorite band is Lynyrd Skynyrd. I'm not hard to find, I'm 5'11", 210lbs, usually can be found wearing a leather jacket or hawaiian shirt, and 9/10 times black jeans and leather boots (on occasion I'll wear my dress shoes because they're the most comfortable shoes I own). I get along with almost everyone, and the few people I don't get along with would love to rip me limb from limb. My favorite movie is either the Godfather, Goodfellas, or American History X. My favorite food is Cannoli, with Italian Sausage a close second. I like Sausage, Pepperoini, Mushrooms, Cappacola, meatballs, and a crap load of garlic powder, dried peppers, and cheese on my pizza. My favorite sandwitch is probably a turkey, cappacola, provalone, oil, and onion. I am also a major fan of cheesesteaks. I love Fried Calamari, along with just about anything else you can fry. Including onions. I love onions. I ramble on alot, and i talk REALLY fast, and not very loud, unless you piss me off then I get REALLY REALLY loud. Anyway I'll stfu now.

Hi,
I'm 34. I'm an electrical engineer, specializing in mixed signal semiconductors (A/D & D/A converters). I'm a big, big dog person. I love the outdoors, and if my wife would tolerate it, we'd move into a campground every spring and wouldn't move home until winter. I originally grew up in the Northern US (Connecticut shoreline) but now live in central North Carolina.

I also enjoy sports (American football, European football (soccer), baseball & rugby), history, and working on my house. And I LOVE beer. Wine & whiskey ain't too shabby either though.

Edited to remove a political joke.
