So, who's this Grimm guy anyway?

[Mercenary]

That's the spirit - that's why we started writing in the first place, isn't it? To tell a tale, and have it carry ourselves away. Upon becoming a pro, things start to look differently, tho, and one will find out that writing is not only the fun it used to be. It's work, hard work, and it can and _will_ drive one through ups and downs like on a roller coaster. And It's hard work, very hard, dedicated work.

Only just backtracked through this thread

Got to agree with you it is fun, but time consuming and I've really only just begun to look at things like proof reading, which is tough. I consider myself a complete novice at writing and I am pleased I've managed to get as far as I have. Certainly if I'd had no response or encouragement then I'd have given up already... the Traders Tale should cross the 70,000 word mark with the next installment but I'm not considering changing profession yet

Although the rest of my family know me as "Justi... jospe... jacki... geof... joh... jan... jonathan"
I prefer to be called Jon.

Can't wait to see EM's post here - that webcam would make for some pretty good stuff, I'd imagine...

I don't do 'those' types of webcam shows.

Sorry about being late about posting, but if you still care, here's all you need to know:

See that bloke there? That's me! I'm a 20 year old AVCE-ICT student in Herts, UK, a place that even the other dumps in the UK tend to stay away from, it's that dumpy. Yes. Really.

I have a website, it is a nice website, with bright, colourful images of little girls, bunny rabbits and rainbows. It's not grey at all, no, not one trace of the colour, or black for that matter as the voices in my head say those colours are evil and that if you use those colours in web design you will burn in hell for all eternity. I don't want to go to hell, I want to go to heaven because I'm a fairy and my Mummy loves me.

Seems there has been an awful lot of talk lately about people being afraid to show themselves and so on, so I figures I'd break the mold a bit and bare it all (Not that way EM - sorry )

But Mummy DOES love me! When she comes out from under the bed every night she says she loves me! Afterward she dances with the clothes that come alive and float out of the closet, then they all do my hair and we drink spooky tea!

51 years old....and feeling it tonight (no rude comments please).
Real name....Nick.
Interests.....none at the moment except this lovely pint of cider i'm quaffing.

Future prospects....hazy....but kinda exciting in a full blown panic sort of way.
If you can be bothered to want to see what I look like, go to Grimms site, take a look on the general X-Related gallery and hunt for a picture displaying Argon whisky.
There you will find a 'real' photo of my ugly mush albiet slightly doctored but the eye's, nose, face and much of the beard is from an original photograph....I've just added a 'hat' and a few extra hairs.....oh, and a pipe....of sorts....

hmmm....should have added a left 'eye patch' methinks Grimm

Hey UncleKnobbyBack!

Even Filipino's know all about Manchester. It's the home of the greatest football club ever to walk the face of the earth right?

Did you guys see that goal last night! Pure, awesome, magic!

Sorry to say this but here goes.

I can think of nothing more boring than the game of football.

Even watching grass grow, or paint dry holds more interest for me.

I used to play, in fact I did a lot of sport when younger, but I've never been a fan of watching.

Maybe It's 'cause I'm an engineer, and like all things mechanical, but stick and engine and some wheels on something, and I could watch that all day.
