I've been thinking about running this thread for a while now, but @t-tony just gave me an extra spin to add to it.
Exactly as per the title, tell us all three interesting or random things about you (anything you like) & then post a picture of yourself.

This should give other members a little insight in to their fellow members and add a face to the name! Ok then, I'll go first...

1. I'm a freelance (posh word for self employed) web designer, but have been working with IT since I left school at 16.
2. I was once in the top 100 XBox players world wide on a particular game My only real achievement in the gaming world.
3. Despite managing the forum and organising events, I have no organisational skills worth mentioning. I often chuckle to myself when things actually happen round here . I'm currently not organising an upgrade to the sites article system as I type!

Gary's quote: "My only real achievement in the gaming world."

YOU MUST BE CRAZY!!!!!!! I would think that most of the forum members would agree that just keeping this forum going in the smooth fashion that you do is an achievement in itself. I'll be the first in line to attest to this. Just wait and see how many of the forum members stamp an "agree" to this.
P.S. I've only read the first post of Gaz in this thread, and someone undoubtedly beat me to making this statement.

We already knew you were an asshole, that's nothing new. But I, for one, really like a guy that's not afraid to tell me I'm just as much of an asshole too. I wouldn't want you any other way. Sincerely, your friend, Frankie.

 

[FRANKIE]

Andy, what's a "Pikey"?

Andy, what's a "Pikey"?

Frankie, a Pikiey is the nasty element of the Gypsy world mate. A bit lateral but the last sentence was in reference to the amount of times I've moved and the qoute from the film "Snatch"

It's good to be able to put a picture (and a nice one in front of your house) to a name. I like the hair style (me too!!) Frankie

Miller's quote: ",I don't have time to be miserable,negative,sad,angry or grumpy."
I can personally vouch for the validity of this statement. You should have been there to see him smiling after he got the speeding ticket in Shamrock, Texas. (107 in a 75) Frankie
