AH- That would be a subsidiary company, Robert :) Not technically telstra- just working for them.

Don't mind instant hang ups, don't mind people obviously faking a lack of basic english. Got an interesting one today:

"Yeah not today thanks, I've got to run to the strippers- can you call me back later?"

You're not 5ft 10 in height? Are we playing "Higher / Lower"?

Golly, I feel old. Or maybe just older.

I was skittering around Europe for the first time in 1987, during a summer break from University.

Oh! And I know all the verses to the song "Rabbit Ain't Got No Tail At All."

Perhaps a height thread should be started. I'm 5ft 11 and often reffereed to as a brick outhouse.

Interesting fact? I've been cage diving with great white sharks in South Africa, I was terified. They're huge...

Oh my God! He's not Welsh is he?

You're about as punk as Enya!

I get this sudden feeling of deja vu...

Interesting fact: I was proposed to when I was 11-ish. I was with my mother in the airport on the way to a swim meet when this guy came up, asked me if I wanted to marry his son, and showed me a picture of him. I, sadly, had to decline.

I'm 5'5" by the way. 5'6" on a good day.

Nothin' wrong with being a student--why, I'm planning to be a student for quite a few more years after I graduate!

I am also a student and also born in 1987.

Am an animal crazy person... love animals and talk about them nonstop when I get the chance!

I am a Zimbabwean... yes, I do still live here despite everything happening and still love the country... Been in the same house all my life and no I don't live on a farm! :P

I tend to be rather hyperactive and rather wierd... do weird things for hours... just for fun... or interest... no explanation needed!

Yep - Right next to the Australian, German, South African, American, and British people. We're a bit of a mix here.

Oh, and since this is a bit of a hobby of mine, do you have any specific favorite ethnic food?

I hail from the land of windmills and dykes, all 6'3" of me. I run a guitar shop in Central London.

My greatest hobby is waking up early on my day off, having a massive breakfast, and then going back to bed.

I am rather big, and a bit clumsy. This is a dangerous combination. I also tend to be the one breaking up fights.

Last week, this resulted in me accidentaly breaking someone's elbow when I was pulling him off of someone else. Owtch.

Hmmm, ethnic food? Interesting one. Define "ethnic". I love chinese. Don't know if that counts though I do love(I know most people turn their noses up) traditional African food, you know, "sadza" and "nyama" with some relish on the side. Strange tastes I have.

Originally from Lincoln, now Hampshire (both England), married to the Dodo, remember the 1966 World Cup.

That dates me!

Hi Auntsassy, as I have only just progressed from newbie status here let me welcome you back to the madhouse.

(I can't remember the '66 World Cup, but that is because I dislike football, most sports not requiring the burning of fuel in fact, and as mrs. SkidMarks will testify I have the memory of a small piece of putty at the best of times.) )
