... I've been using these Forums on and off for a couple of years, generally in the Web Forum as that’s what area I work in, and I don't really know any of you, I only know of you, there are one or two, but out of how many users???
So, just thought I'd come and formally introduce myself, and try and get to know some of you nice people.
I'm Chris Haig, 19, from Somerset (South West of England), currently at college at a HND Level, and working p/t in a factory.
What about everyone else, college, school, work, careers?? I'd like to get to know you more and be a more active part of this Forum :o).

Righty-O, I'm Gary Broughton...Gaz to all you peeps...I'm 14, from Ashford in Middlesex. My favouruite stuff is like music (nU metal and all that stuff) and wrestling (obviously not physically, well, I do beat up my 21 year old brother (all teenagers say they can beat up their older brother, but they never can. Well, I can...)).
I've been on SR as many usernames...so here they are incase you recognize them...
Big Earz (the annoying JAT that p!ssed off Cooky and Tiltawhirl with the topic in Ninty Forum (Prices of games - N64, got quite a few replys, 150 for a first post, not bad...and it stayed at the top for four months))
J@CK@$# (Umm, well, I had this name for ages, throughout my newbie days. With such a 'not so mature' name, people thought I'd spam a lot...I think I surprised a few people...)
T-Devil (This name I actually made up on CAW mode of SmackDown!: The original. It was actually T-Devil Diamond, but I changed it to an easier to remember T-Devil)
J@CK@$#/T-Devil (This was another name from my days as a nOOB, and basically, it was my two pervious names put together, so nothing new there)
Dead Wonder (When T-Devil was preparing to leave, I was posting in WWE Forum saying that I wasn't really respected enough here and all that crap, and, at the end of my last post as T-Devil, I wrote "I am a dead wonder". So, the name developed when after two months out, I came back as DW, my current alias. But, it wasn't the last we saw of T-Devil)
-T--Devil (Look familiar? May have seen this on the new name for one2one? Well, that's why -T- returned. I had a few new characters in my name, and therefore posted as a regular, just like DW)
mXtheared (My most recent alias, posted until returning to DW)
Then, I went away for another month, where my other accounts kicked in. I was to later come back as DW, but before that...
Dr. Kazama (People say that I stole the name from Tekken, but they are wrong, as this was the first word that popped into my head! As Dr. Kazama, later just Kazama, I started, and likewise, ended the Ban Clan™ 2002. This sparked a little war with Lord H and some other forum members. We did however get a good few people banned, some of them for cheating a GAD out of SR. Now, as DW, I still eMail SR with some cheats that me and Quinty have found, and therefore, the Ban Clan is still within reach of me and Quinty)
BonziBUDDY™ (The purple monster...I made one topic, so I guess it was a wasted account. I think this account has been deleted, so no worries. Anyway, it was nice to once again re-live the days of a JAT and nOOb, but it was also nice to know that I had an account to fall back on, just incase I didn't want to be a nOOb anymore, like my Kazama account.
So, here I am, after surviving nearly a year! Many users have different veiws on DW, but, I feel I've proved myself to be an okay poster. I've adapted well with SRW by creating my own show (sorry WWE Forum guys, won't be up until Monday, the update was put up too late for me to complete ) and I've also got talking to around 70 odd members on MSN. I dunno about you, but I love this place. Thank you SR! Darn it, this post changed from being a profile about me to being my time here at SR! LMAO! Sorry...

I'm awaiting my AS results and at my school both AS and A2 results are given-out on the same day. I believe it's the 15th of August for me - so it's in 14 days time!! :S
And i'm a 17 year old Man United fan from Bristol by the way.
And i'm City - NOT Rovers - too!
Where abouts in Somerset are you from cjh??

Gareth Rippingale, 23, in Surrey. Working as a Programme Accountant for Centrica on the largest CRM programme in the civilised world to date, despite my astonishing lack of accountancy qualifications. I intend to remedy this by joining CIMA later this year, and becoming a Chartered Management accountant as soon as possible.
In similar fashion to the Gareth below, I am Welsh to a certain extent (although thankfully only 25% Welsh), I was born in Iserlohn, Germany on the 15 of February 1979, and have been gaming since the illustrious days of the Atari 2600. I have since been well into the C64, the NES, GameBoy, SNES, PC, N64 and GameCube.
Yes, I realise this makes me look like a Ninty fanboy.

Gareth Jenkins, 12, from Milton Keynes, waiting for my AS results, just passed driving test...Erm, love scuba diving? I want to go to Oxford to study Biological Sciences. I'm Welsh. And smug. Tis all.
"Anyway you guys have to go to your school and collect your results? We get ours through the post. Hail the SQA."
For our GCSEs, if you brought in a brown envelope, they would post them, but I couldn't be bothered so I just waited for the day, then strolled in hours after everyone else. For the AS I saw quite a few people there when I went, so I imagine everyone went in to collect them, and it's the same this year. I was literally NEVER in 6th form (the 6th form centre) so I don't know the details
(why bother going to some stupid building when I don't have lessons?)
