The Physical:
Your name: Anthony Morgan
Your online/nickname: Above or lost@rock0. (2 reasons (a) Its from a story I wrote some time ago (b) i was called gambit once but that was about 9 years ago! And that was more talk rooms than newsgroups. Give me a CLI over a GUI any day, can I hear an Amen? Give me an Amen brother!
Web page url: heh, heh, it says "temp" at the moment which is either profound or a sure sign of laziness
Age: 28, but I still get asked for id occasionally which I love.

Location: coventry
Height/weight: ~6ft, 11 stone
Current hair colour/style: brown, long, curly
Natural hair colour: brown
Eye colour: brown
Religion: no term for it. P.S. Religious threads can be a laugh, If a belief could be proved it wouldn't be called a belief, it would be called a fact. And while I'm on my soap box christianity ain't that bad, jesus teachings had nothing to do with the attrocities that were commited in his name (and I'm so not a christian). And forget the old testament, with todays educational standards its nothing more than a joke. "hey God, what should we base Christanity on?", "how about Judism, heh, heh". Time passes, "OY you fucker that was a joke!"
Siblings: 2 sisters, one bro, I'm the youngest by far (bros 44!)

What are some of your hobbies: thinking about everything (not philosophy, don't give a damn what anyone else thinks), bird thinks I spend too much time on the pc hence pc related things (mp3, dvd, etc)
What's the motto you adhere to: suicide is not an option. It is those who gave up. Any problem other than a serious medical condition can be abandoned or improved upon.

What do you want to be doing 10 years from now: writing a book on how to live, lifes little lessons are learned by all and taught by none. Seems a tad inefficient
