I was searching the internet for something and I found a post where someone expressed an opinion radically different to mine (and was consequently wrong) and I put them straight.

Toto Wolfcastle

I was looking for information on student accommodation and someone on Tripadvisor told my Dad to have a look here. Needless to say my Dad is delighted that I've moved out because all I ever do is talk about Boards. I'm more of a reader than a contributor at the moment though because I'm so tired. (Probably as a result of staying up late reading Boards!!)

Like Blowfish, I heard about the Phantom FM board back in my student days. I used to spend a lot of time in their chatroom, and I’d occasionally venture onto the board, back when it had tons of traffic. I actually had over 100 posts to my name before I even realised there were for a (is that the plural of forum?) about other stuff.

Funny cats drew me in, lots of nice people interested in comic books made me stay, the hecticness of life made me leave, the need for photoshop brushes brought me back.

I had an account that fell into disuse, which I opened when I was in college in October 01.

There are only ten posts on it...

So I knew about it from then.

This account came into being when I was between jobs in early 04.

and it was while working in one of those jobs that des introduced me to boards.....just over 2 years on now.
