Welcome, DTM. Your name's not too bad. I have a friend that introduces himself to people as, The Jared. And he always uses big T on The. He can be a little pretentious, but he's ok. And he takes pictures of himself constantly. I bet he's got 40 gigs of just his face pics. If I can be friends with him, then I'm sure you'll be a piece of cake.

Hello,
I thought I'd stop hovering around and introduce myself.
1) Its one of my middle names.
2) Physically Female, Mentally Male (Cannot understand how shopping is fun?!)
3) 35, I live and work in south east england but I am Welsh.
4) Sorry, but no. It would never match what I see in my head.
5) Cannot remember, just always had the books on my bookshelf.
6) Sir, if I knew what the cards were going to be, I wouldn't be here talking to you, I'd be in Vegas!

Welcome to the boards Megan!

Thanks Katcal. Am mildly terrified, am complete novice at message boards and forums. So will probably annoy everyone. Apologies in advance.

Meh, don't worry, there are plenty of veteran board users who are good at being annoying, and they've had far more practise at it (being annoying)... Relax, join in, don't worry if you don't get all the jokes and comments, just let it flow over you

Welcome, Megan. And I second Katcal. We're just a bunch of teddy bears. Teddy bears that were in the same toybox and Chucky, but teddy bears just the same.

What is your avatar? I can't quite make it out.

yippee for more pratchett fans coming on line! hey megan am very new at this too !
pleased to find not the only one over 30 on this site!
sorry not getting back to people quicker but am inthe southern hemisphere so tend to sleep at inappropriate times!! happy easter to you all! ( no religious intent meant!!)

Wilva, several of us are over 30 or pushing it pretty close.

Thanks wilva and redneck. A friend sent me my avatar, its a woman with grey hair, a sour expression and long nails. He said it looked just like me! I was soo flattered.

Hey anyone there?

Sorry Amzlou, we've all gone to lunch. We'll be back at 3:15 PM GMT. Please leave your name and number after the beep and we'll try our best to return service at our earliest convenience.

Please feel free to answer the questions at the beginning of the thread. It will allow us to get to know you a bit better and you can read a little about us as well. And welcome to the boards.

hey is anyone still online out there?? Hi Amzlou

As I see that -or a similar question- for the third time in a short period of time in this thread, I can't help but point out the obvious fact that this is not a chat. So, if you expect someone to answer you within minutes after your last post, you'll just have to wait, not post "Hello, someone there?" a few minutes later. Your chances to get a response are pretty high if you posted something with content, but as most members of this board are located in the same time zone, you might just have gotten one of those calmer hours, and not get a response within hours.

There is a chat on this board, and there's pm. Please use these if you wish to have a real time conversation with someone.

My nickname is simply an abreviation of my full name - how lazy is that no imagination whatsoever.
I live in London with an assortment of Bhuddist statues, several guitars and of course the love of my life - my collection of Discworld books (hope the wife doesn't read this).
I am on the verge of turning 40, but most days I feel much younger, then I go to work and feel much older.
It was my brother in law who had all the discworld books that first got me into the series. Then a couple of years ago I had the privelige of interveiwing Terry Pratchett and it's gone from there really.

Quote of the day:
When god talks to one person it's schizophrenia.
When god talks to a whole bunch of people it's religion.
