The Introduction Thread (for new and long time members)

I'm an enigma - and completely disinteresting.

West Norfolk scum

[AoWW]

West Norfolk scum

I am NOT West Norfolk.

[Corky]

I am NOT West Norfolk.

Sorry

[cisono]

Is this thread a good idea?

Might it be used by prospective employers and cost us that perfect job?

[lavrentis]

Jay, nice to see another person living nearby. I'm currently residing in Ancaster, you should know where that is ?

[hebangsthedrums]

Location: Near Bedford, soon to be somewhere just inside the western stretch of M25 (anyone got a room to rent)

Age: 23

Interesting personal achievements and goals: Erm finished uni? (self funded) Was a reserve Mascot for city aged 5ish (got a Ladybird book of football signed by 1990ish squad), of course my sister is a member for a few months and gets the whole shebang. Crashed my car on way to interview for first proper post uni job (for a car company!), amazingly was given job.

Any information on lifelong support for Citeh. No geographical connection - my Dad took Citys side in 60's LC final v Spurs and went regularly when he could - I followed. First game early 90's, had ST's for 3 years in Carling, past few years been as often as uni/money permitted. Love away games. First shirt was the exact same as someone mentioned recently - fleece lined red away kit.

Other info: Like films & music as most people do, and books as more people should. Trying to get back into playing and gaming

[Alexikokopops]

Age: Just spilled over into my 30's.

For some reason I thought you were about ten years older 'Shunwidoh. I've no idea where that came from. I can only apologise and invite you to join my caravan of love (I miss that signature )

Other Information

I'm to be cast to play the Riddler in the new Batman film.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAADkjhsalfsagfdc

Once appeared in count them 5 national newspapers on the same day celebrating with Stan Collymore after the winner at Chelsea imagine my shock at opening The Sun on the Monday morning with my mug staring back at me!!

Phfft, that's nothing. I managed that at the Stoke game AND ended up back on the BBC Sport website a couple of months later, nestled next to a jubilant Jonathan Greening.

I went paintballing at Ancaster, that's all I really know of the place.

Thats pretty much what happened to me a few weeks ago, although I was offered the job a couple of days before I crashed. The only thing they said was please don't claim, think it coud have cost them an arm and a leg more if I had. Is already costing them a fortune as I'm under 21.

[Ultra]

Location: Belgrave, via Woodgate and Newfoundpool, with loan spells at Colchester (uni) and Manchester.

Age: 45 (cost my mother the chance to watch the 1963 Cup Final - made up for it later though, see below)

Interesting personal achievements or goals: Went to the same secondary school as Gary Lineker. Despite everything, I still wouldn't swap my life, or qualifications for his, although I assisted in giving him Freedom of the City of Leicester in 1994.

When aged 14, I missed out on a place in the school football team through an injury sustained in a scuffle some days earlier. I still haven't forgotten or forgiven the kid that cost me my dream.

I graduated in 1984, in the depths of the Thatcher years, at the age of 20, without owing anyone a penny.

I'm a member of the current Leicester Night Owl champion quiz team, which starts its defence of the title in various city hostelries next month.

In 1996-97, I was an ever-present at every City league game, home and away, and all but one of the cup matches.

I'm also an occasional correspondent for the Mercury, and had to compose a report within minutes of our relegation last May - one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I then got blitzed in town with a distinguished journo from the Daily Telegraph!

In 2003-04, I co-founded the EMC Forum website, which predates this one by four months, and continues (just) until this day. One day, I'll relate the extraordinary events which led up to that relatively mundane act.

Any information on your lifelong support of LCFC: My first game was on 17 April 1971, when my father and granddad took me to a freezing Roker Park to watch a dire 0-0 draw against Sunderland. Both Sunderland and Leicester would play at Wembley (and lose) in the last month of my father's life in 1992.

To date, I've seen City play on 87 league grounds (including old ones). I hope to make it to 100 within the next two seasons.

In 1999-2000, my mother, a lifelong City fan (she first met my father in the Popular Side at Filbert Street), became Lady Mayoress of Leicester. She was guest of the club at the 2000 League Cup Final. It was her first trip to Wembley, having been denied in 1963, 1969 and 1992, and she met many football legends including Geoff Hurst and Brian Clough. She also co-hosted a number of receptions with Martin O'Neill and the City squad.

Later that year, I turned down the chance of dinner with Nelson Mandela to watch City play Red Star Belgrade in Vienna.

In the 2001-02 season, I captained the City quiz side on the short-lived ITV Sport Channel. Wearing shirts donated by the club, we managed more wins in the studio than the team did on the pitch! However we lost to Arsenal in the semi-finals.

Other information: Several generations of my mother's family were born and raised in Coleorton. The thought I may actually be related, however distantly, to a moderator on this forum causes me almost as much dread as it will do to him!

You're all misguided.

It's Lisa who looks much older than she actually is.

Really? You must pop round some time and tell us all about it one day. Perhaps over tea and biscuits?

[Trav Le Bleu]

Well if you introduced yourself properly, then we'd know that

i will if you get hobnobs in, 1) because they're the best and 2) because they're aptly named

I shouldn't worry about that Ultra we wont be related, Coleorton is a relativly new thing in my family. We're the only members of our family who live there, neither of my parents are from there, my first house wasn't even in Coleorton, and I live in the nice bit not the council estate near Sinope.
